Ask anyone who has bought property in Iraq or the Kurdistan Region and they will tell you the same thing: you go and see it. You walk the rooms, look out of the windows, check the corners. Photos help, but they only show what the photographer chose to point at.
When you invest in a share of a property online, you can't always make that trip. That's why we built something better than a photo gallery. Investline now offers full 3D tours, which you can move around in and explore at your own pace. We are the first company in Iraq and Kurdistan to offer fully 3D property tours, and we built the software ourselves.
What a 3D tour actually is
A 3D tour isn't a video, and it isn't a slideshow. It is a full three-dimensional model of a real space, captured on site. Once it loads, you're in control:
Look around in any direction, including up at the ceiling and down at the floor.
Move from room to room at your own pace, and go back to anything you want to see again.
See how the space fits together: how big the rooms really are, where the light comes in and how one room leads into the next.
It's the closest thing to standing in the room without getting in the car.
Photos show you what someone chose to point at. A 3D tour lets you look wherever you want.
Why it matters when you invest
Owning a share of a building is a real decision with real money, even when you start from $100. The more clearly you can see what you're buying into, the better that decision is.
You see the real condition
A 3D model shows the finishes, the layout and the state of the space as they were when it was captured. Nothing is cropped out of the frame.
Distance stops being a barrier
Whether you live in Erbil, Basra or abroad, you can walk through a property in Duhok from your phone. Iraqis living abroad can invest on Investline too, so this matters for them as much as for anyone.
It fits how we work
Every property on Investline is vetted, independently valued and legally documented before anyone can buy a share. Letting you look inside for yourself is part of the same idea: show, don't just tell.
Start with our own front door
We started with our own reception in Duhok, so you can try the tour before you look at any property. Walk in, look around and get a feel for how the tour works.
Go to the 3D tour of our reception.
Wait for it to load. It is about 25 MB, so Wi-Fi works best.
Drag to move around or use WASD keys on a computer, and tap or click to teleport.
Open it full screen for the best view.
We'll use the same tour format for the properties we list. 1 of our current properties already has a 3D tour, and more are being captured.
A tour is not a guarantee
A 3D tour shows you a space as it looked on the day it was captured. It doesn't tell you what rent the property will earn next year. Rents can fall or stop, a property can lose value, and you may get back less than you invested.
Use the tour alongside everything else on each listing: the independent valuation, the fees, the holding period and the planned exit. Read the property's documents before you buy.
See it for yourself
Take the reception tour to see how it works, then browse the properties open for investment at https://www.investline.io/properties. When you find one you like, create your account. Identity checks usually take about an hour, and then you can buy your first share.
