Why Invest in Real Estate?

Real estate investing can be a reliable way to build long-lasting wealth and generate steady cash flow, tax benefits, and potential property value appreciation.


"Ninety percent of all millionaires become so through owning real estate. More money has been made in real estate than in all industrial investments combined. The wise young man or wage earner of today invests his money in real estate." - Andrew Carnegie

Consistent Cash Flow


Real estate investments can provide consistent cash flow and passive income through monthly rental dividends. Over time, your property's value can appreciate, leading to significant returns when you sell.

Diversification and Stability


Diversification across asset classes can reduce the impact of volatility in any single investment. Real estate is less volatile and closely tied to market fluctuations, potentially making it a stable investment. Arrived enhances this stability by offering diversified real estate investments through our Private Credit Fund, Single Family Residential Fund, and custom property portfolios.

Real Estate as an Inflation Hedge


Real estate can hedge against inflation in three key ways:

  1. Rising Rent Income: Inflation often drives up rent.
  2. Property Appreciation: Inflation usually increases real estate value.
  3. Locked-in Interest Rates: Fixed-rate mortgage payments stay the same while rental income rises, boosting cash flow.
