Could you elaborate on the real estate one. Sounds like you're talking about home equity loans.

The idea of real estate on the blockchain runs into a bunch of problems interfacing with the real world. For example if Russian hackers get your private keys do you now have to move out of your house so they can let it? If you are lending against property tokens how do you know if the person in physical possession of the property has not quietly sold it or mortgaged it or burnt it down and so on? Not that it's impossible but there are a lot of complications.
