How Arrived Works

Investing in real estate used to be complicated. 

At Arrived, our mission is to empower everyone to build wealth through modern real estate investing. We created an investor experience simplifying the complex decision-making traditionally associated with real estate — and lowered the barriers to entry — so anyone can do it.

A Better Experience for Investors

Investing in rental properties is a complex and time-consuming process. Even after acquiring the necessary knowledge and skills, it requires significant time and resources to realize return potential. 

We set out to radically simplify this process and make it accessible to anyone.

The Old Way to Buy Rental Properties

Rental property investors are responsible for everything from assessing the value of potential investments to securing financing, managing tenants, and maintaining the property. In short, it takes a lot of steps. Arrived changes the game.

The Arrived Way to Invest in Real Estate 

With Arrived, investors can browse individual single-family residential homes and vacation rentals (pre-vetted based on their appreciation and income potential), choose how much to invest, and start building a highly-tailored portfolio of hand-selected investment properties in minutes. 

Investors can also opt for the Arrived Single Family Residential Fund, where they can invest in the same high-quality properties while enjoying an always-available investment experience, one-click diversification, and access to liquidity. Or they can invest in short-term financing for professional real estate projects, providing the potential for high yields and secured by residential housing with the Arrived Private Credit Fund.

How Do I See a Return on my Investment?

Investing in Arrived can deliver returns in two ways:

  1. Investors in both individual property offerings and Funds receive monthly dividends.
  2. If a property is sold after the investment hold period, investors can earn appreciation if the property value goes up.

How Does Arrived Choose Investment Properties?

We combined decades of experience with data science to build an operational model that allows us to maximize return potential for our investors. 

How Does Arrived Work With Property Managers?

Investing in real estate shouldn’t feel like a second job. Arrived handles every aspect, from acquiring property to securing residents to managing the day-to-day.

Our property management (PM) partners have mission-critical responsibilities ranging from assisting in the property search to managing remodels and finding tenants. Every property management (PM) partner we select has passed our evaluation criteria.

Transparent investing

Every property funded on Arrived is qualified with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). By qualifying its offerings with the SEC, Arrived can allow anyone over the age of 18, accredited or non-accredited, to invest in its offerings. We comply with SEC standards for disclosure and transparency so you can understand exactly what you’re investing in. We also provide regular audited financial reports so you understand how your assets are performing. You can access our public SEC filings, here.

*Past performance does not guarantee future results and there is no guarantee this trend will continue. Note: The above scenarios are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to be used to estimate the returns of an individual property. 

The table is estimated by combining the 20-year historical home price appreciation from the Zillow Home Value Index (ending Q1 2023) and average historical dividend yields from the Arrived portfolio (ending Q1 2023). These data sources were combined to estimate a hypothetical IRR for each asset type and leverage classification and then rounded to whole numbers. The calculation also assumes an average hold period of 7 years for SFRs and 10 years for VRs, 6% property disposition costs, and an average annual net operating income increase of 3% for SFRs and 5% for VRs. The leverage classification estimates an average of 63% financing and a 4.75% interest rate, which was selected based on existing properties with leverage at the time of calculation.

The income return range is for new properties and does not include properties that do not receive a monthly dividend due to specific circumstances, such as vacancies, eviction proceedings, significant maintenance issues impacting the property’s cash flow, or not yet booking-ready. Any operating income for these properties will be added to the property’s cash reserves and distributed at a later dividend date. For Vacation Rentals, the above income range represents the initial phases of the j-curve and may see an increase over time.
