InRento* published its 2025 annual review last week and gives a clean overview of the past year. The platform almost doubled its funded volume from 37 million euros to 72.4 million euros.

In 2025 alone, 35.4 million euros were invested. The average return was around 11.8% p.a., and there were still no defaults or delayed projects.

The number of active investors increased to more than 4,100. In total, more than 24 million euros of investments have been fully repaid so far — with over 18 million euros repaid in 2025 alone. Investor profits have now added up to more than 7.3 million euros.

Operationally, InRento expanded its footprint significantly. New markets like Italy and Latvia were added, while Poland remained one of the key growth drivers. Projects also became larger and more complex, including financings in the millions for established companies. A clear focus was on buy-to-let models, hotel projects, and the conversion of existing real estate.

InRento also delivered on profit share. Several projects achieved clearly higher returns than originally planned, in some cases above 20% p.a. Now it would be nice if it was easier to actually get into these projects when they drop — because they are usually fully funded within minutes.

#5 FF Forest shares first operational insights and lowers the entry barrier

FF Forest* published updates from its operational business and for the first time shares solid numbers from ongoing operations. November 2025 was the first fully operational month.

During this period, around 375 hectares of forest land were acquired and roughly 7,300 cubic meters of harvested timber were secured, which is planned to be sold over the coming months.

In December 2025, the development continued. Despite many holidays, acquisition volumes stayed on a similar level. In addition, another ~6,000 cubic meters of timber were secured for future harvesting. Combined, the purchases across both months add up to 682 hectares.

In Latvia, FF Forest was among the three biggest forest buyers in December measured by acquired area.

At the same time, the company is pushing its expansion into Lithuania. Dealflow is increasing and around 2,000 hectares of potential land are currently being evaluated. On top of that, reforestation is planned to be expanded from 40 to 100 hectares, also with a view on future income from CO₂ certificates.

Another new feature is the introduction of Auto Allocation. Funds can now be invested automatically into available projects. The minimum investment per project is even only 50 euros now instead of 500 euros before.
