The secondary market for real estate leases
Ryse is the only marketplace where investors who want to buy leases can trade with real estate operators who want to sell leases.
Ryse provides a fintech platform that enables property managers to offer rent advances to property owners, earning a 2% commission on every advance. It positions itself as a zero-cost, zero-risk revenue stream with automated, white-labeled operations.
Property managers sign up and invite property owners to receive rent advances funded by Ryse. The platform automates marketing, owner outreach, and operational workflows under the manager's brand. When a lease owner is funded, the manager earns a 2% commission on the advance amount. Funding can cover up to 11 months of rent with high advance rates, and the process is designed to be fast and low-effort for managers, with full flexibility and turnkey convenience.
Who it’s for: Property management companies and property managers who work with landlords and owners and want to add a rent-advance financing service to their offerings.
Hiring/traction mentions (e.g., 12,100+ rent advances delivered, $200M+ funding available, $64M+ total funded) and active partner ecosystem; appears to be actively growing with customer testimonials.
