How to create Bitcoin yield with a Lennar rental property

Most Bitcoin investors know the strategy: buy, hold, and wait. While BTC can appreciate over time, it doesn’t generate ongoing income while you hold it. Unlike stocks that pay dividends or bonds that deliver yield, Bitcoin alone doesn’t provide a true Bitcoin-yield.
By pairing a Lennar rental property with Milo financing, you can change that.
Turn Bitcoin into real estate income
With Milo’s Crypto Mortgage, you can pledge Bitcoin or Ethereum as collateral to purchase a brand-new Lennar rental home with 0% down. Instead of relying on price appreciation alone, you unlock two sources of growth:
-
Maintain your crypto exposure: Your BTC or ETH stays invested and continues to capture future upside.
-
Earn real-world yield: Your Lennar property generates rental income from day one while building long-term equity.
This approach allows you to finally create Bitcoin yield by combining digital assets with real estate income.
Why Lennar properties work for investors
Lennar’s homes are designed for investors who want immediate, reliable cash flow:
- Rental-ready with property management available immediately after closing
- Warranty backed for added security
- Located in high-growth markets for appreciation potential
- Built by America’s #1 homebuilder with decades of experience
This means you can purchase and start collecting rental income right away.
How it works
- Choose your property: Browse Lennar’s move-in-ready homes in top U.S. rental markets.
- Pledge your crypto: Use Bitcoin or Ethereum as collateral. No selling, no liquidation, no taxable event.
- Close and collect rent: Build equity, earn positive monthly cash flow, and keep your crypto invested.
Milo typically closes in under 30 days, so you can start earning faster than with traditional lenders.
Doubling your upside
Crypto investors are often forced to choose: keep holding BTC and wait, or sell and lose future growth potential. By pairing a Lennar home with Milo’s financing, you don’t have to choose. You keep your Bitcoin working in the market while also generating rental income and building equity in a property.
It’s a simple way to transform your holdings into a true bitcoin-yield strategy that combines the upside of crypto with the reliability of real estate.
Frequently asked questions
What is bitcoin-yield? Bitcoin-yield refers to generating income or returns from your Bitcoin holdings without selling them. Since Bitcoin doesn’t pay dividends or interest, pairing it with a rental property through Milo’s financing creates a form of yield by turning your BTC into collateral that backs a cash-flowing real estate investment.
Do I really pay 0% down for a Lennar home with Milo financing? Yes. When you pledge Bitcoin or Ethereum as collateral, you can purchase a Lennar rental home with no down payment. Closing fees still apply.
Can I own more than one property? Yes. Milo’s financing supports multiple property purchases, so you can scale your portfolio of Lennar rental homes while keeping your crypto invested.
