InRento Crosses €100M in Financing as European Property Developers Look Beyond Banks

InRento aims to make income-generating real estate investments more accessible through a digital platform that allows users to invest smaller amounts into professionally managed property projects. The platform focuses on asset-backed, lower-risk real estate investments across European markets, including Lithuania, Poland, and Spain.

Investors earn returns through rental income and potential capital gains. It operates as an alternative financing platform that connects investors with medium-sized and large borrowers, including publicly listed companies, providing an alternative to traditional bank financing. That model has now financed more than €100 million worth of projects across Europe.

Gustas Germanavicius, Founder of InRento, said, “Real estate lending has become significantly more expensive. Debt costs have increased substantially since we launched. At the same time, developers, particularly in Eastern Europe, have become much more sophisticated in how they source capital, with access to more options than ever before.”

InRento positions itself as a faster and more flexible alternative. The platform focuses exclusively on projects that have already secured the necessary development approvals, removing permitting risk from the financing equation.

One of InRento’s areas of activity is office-to-residential conversions. Older office buildings are increasingly inefficient and expensive to maintain, which Germanavicius contends creates a major opportunity for conversions. Instead of leaving outdated office buildings vacant, developers can transform them into residential lofts or apartments.
