How to become a property owner if you have only $100: Arrived startup

The idea
Arrived is a US-based startup that offers its clients to invest in lease properties for as little as $100.

You buy a share in a house and get rental proceeds. The idea of fractional real estate ownership is not new. Yet, Arrived is making it as easy as possible. Clients can download an app, register, and become property owners in under 4 minutes.

Investment amounts range from $100 to $15000 per house. You don't need to be an accredited investor to become a property owner.

How it works
Arrived acts as an asset manager. It partners with property management companies to find renters and manage operations.

Investors receive income as quarterly dividends. Their passive income includes rental proceeds and property price appreciation. When Arrived sells the house, its co-owners receive a share in the sale price.

How much you can earn?
The annual dividend yield reported in Q3 2021 was from 5.95% to 7.54%.

The company charges you an annual management fee of 1%. Second, Arrived Homes will charge 8% of the rent for property management at each home.

Pros and cons
Diversification is good. If you invest a significant amount, you may divide it between several properties. Thus, reducing your risk.

Easy to start. Passive quarterly income

Low minimum investment

Not for short-term investments. The average investment term is 5-7 years. Until then, you cannot redeem your share. The startup is working on developing a secondary market, but there are no guarantees.

For now, the choice of houses is limited by 102 properties. And they are all sold out
