👋 I’m Ryan, co-founder, and CEO of Arrived, a real estate investing platform where anybody can easily buy shares of rental properties in under 4 minutes. Since launching last year, we've funded 174 properties and over $55MM in property value for first-time property owners and investors from all walks of life. At Arrived, our goal has always been to democratize access to the wealth-building potential of real estate investment. We were the first company offering shares of rental homes to the general public, and with our expansion into vacation rentals, we're taking another step towards fulfilling that vision. 🌴 Vacation Rentals represent a $13B market Short-term rentals have historically shown high returns, and the market is growing as domestic travel patterns change and more people choose to stay in vacation homes. Platforms like Airbnb have helped vacation rental owners generate over $150 Billion dollars in rental income from serving 1 Billion guest arrivals, and yet, less than 0.5% of these guests have been able to access the wealth-building potential of this rapidly expanding asset class. 🏠 Our Product: Easily Buy Shares of Vacation Rentals—Earn Passive Income and Appreciation Without All the Operational Headaches With Arrived, anyone can buy shares in income-producing rental properties starting at just $100. We take care of all the real estate operations so investors can sit back and collect net rental income and their share of the home’s appreciation. With the launch of vacation rentals, Arrived has become an even more powerful platform for investors to diversify their real estate portfolio across different properties, markets, and asset classes. 🚀 What's Next To date, we have launched five vacation rental properties in desirable locations such as Scottsdale, Joshua Tree, Phoenix, and more! With our first offerings selling out in record time, we see there is incredible demand from people who have previously been barred from participating in this growing market. At Arrived, our mission is to empower the world to build wealth through modern real estate investing, and this product launch brings us one step closer to that goal.
