# Criteria #### Blockchain & Bank investing pros & cons Banks provide real estate investing through (REITs), but you, the investor, have no control over your own funds. Bankers can choose the property they would invest in, choose your payment method, and transactions are not transparent to investors simply (you need to believe what story they tell).
