# FAQ

<Accordion title="What does &#x22;renting upside&#x22; actually mean? Is it like renting a house?">
  "Renting upside" means you are **paying a small ongoing fee to gain the benefits of an asset's price increase without actually buying the asset outright**. It's analogous to renting a house in the sense that you pay rent to enjoy living in a house you don't own. Here, you pay rent *(streaming fee)* to enjoy the financial gains of holding an asset you didn't fully purchase. If the asset's price goes up, you profit as if you held it; if it goes down, you can simply stop renting *(close the position)* without having a big loan to repay. It's a new way of getting investment exposure, one that's flexible and doesn't lock you into ownership or debt.

<Accordion title="How is Lora Finance different from margin trading or using a leverage platform?">
  The biggest differences are **no liquidation risk, no large upfront capital, and pay-as-you-go costs**. In margin trading, you might borrow money to buy more crypto, but you have to put up collateral and you can be liquidated *(losing your collateral)* if the market drops too much. With Lora, you don't borrow anything - you just open a position and pay a fee over time. There are no margin calls. If the market drops, your position loses value, but you won't be forced out; you decide if and when to close it. Also, with Lora you don't need to have a lot of money to start a position because you're not buying the full asset, just renting its performance. It's generally simpler too - no need to manage loans or worry about complex exchange mechanics. Just open a position, watch the price, and close when you're ready.
