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 can be complex and time-consuming, even for those with experience. It requires significant time and resources to realize return potential.


We simplify the process, making it easy and accessible for everyone.

The old way to invest in rental properties

  1. Start a property search
  2. Find a lender and get approved for a loan
  3. Determine investment value
  4. Make an offer and see if you get accepted
  5. Pay a hefty down payment
  6. Close on home
  7. Get homeowner's insurance
  8. Make needed renovations
  9. List home for rent
  10. Show home to renters
  11. Screen potential tenants
  12. Sign a lease
  13. Safely store security deposits
  14. Manage property maintenance (yes, toilets too)
  15. Manage accounting
  16. Organize taxes every year

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.

The Arrived way to invest in real estate

Disclaimers

The opinions expressed in this article are for general informational purposes only and are not intended to provide specific advice or recommendations for any individual or on any specific security or investment product. The views reflected in the commentary are subject to change at any time without notice.



*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 single family residential and vacation rental calculations also assume an average hold period of 7 years, 6% property disposition costs, and an average annual net operating income increase of 3%. 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 Private Credit Fund return is based on annualized dividends paid from August 2024 to April 2025.





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.
