  • Property Leverage & Volatility

    The potential financial returns you can earn are often linked to the potential risk and volatility. Adding leverage or debt to properties can amplify the potential return in exchange for higher potential volatility.

    The Market

    Real estate values and returns are highly dependent on location. In general, properties in more affordable markets will have higher cash flow (potential dividends), and properties in more expensive markets will have higher appreciation. Arrived strives to give investors options to choose how much they invest in appreciation markets, cash flow markets, or balanced markets.

    The economy of the local city and market will dictate the potential returns of an investment. In general, some markets see high appreciation of home values, some have higher cash flow (dividends), and some have a mix of the two.

    Common Questions

    Arrived acquires rental properties into an LLC and sells shares in that LLC to the general public. Arrived then manages the day to day operations including finding tenants and completing repairs.Investors receive cash dividends from rental income each quarter and capture any property value appreciation.

    Investing in Arrived rental properties can deliver returns to investors in two different ways:

    1) Dividends from the rental income on each property; currently paid out to investors quarterly
    2) Appreciation from the change in property value that will be realized at the end of the investment hold period

    The below table shows the estimated historical return range for a diversified portfolio of properties for each investment strategy. Actual returns for individual properties will vary and may over or under perform these ranges. Diversifying across several properties and across asset types can be a helpful strategy for minimizing individual property risk.

    With real estate, it can be beneficial to invest in multiple properties and markets to achieve portfolio diversification. Diversifying your portfolio can be a good way to reduce exposure to risk from an individual property, tenant, or market forces.

    Currently investors will need to plan to hold their shares for the full investment period until the property is sold and investors are paid their proportional proceeds from the sale. We anticipate filing a secondary trading market with the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC) as an option for liquidity during the investment period, however there can be no guarantee when that will be available. Please submit your email if you would like to be notified of future developments.

    Arrived strives to give investors the opportunity to build wealth through real estate. Historically, real estate returns have been maximized when treated as a long-term investment over multiple years. Arrived property offerings typically have a 5 year minimum investment period before a property would be sold.

    Disclaimer:

    There is currently no public trading market for our Interests, and an active market may not develop or be sustained. There is no guarantee that appropriate regulatory approval to permit such secondary trading will ever be obtained. If an active public trading market for our securities does not develop or is not sustained, it may be difficult or impossible for you to resell your shares at any price before the end of the investment period. Even if a public market does develop, the market price could decline below the amount you paid for your shares, and there may be fees involved. Please refer to our offering circular for more details regarding potential distributions.

    Don't know which property to choose?

    No need to worry, all Arrived rental properties go through our rigorous selection process and have been pre-vetted for their investment potential by our acquisitions team (more info). Rather than focusing on selecting individual properties to invest in, many Arrived investors simply distribute their investment across several available properties to achieve portfolio diversification.
