At Arrived, we’re on a mission to make real estate investing accessible and simple. A critical part of that mission is how we approach fees. We believe fees matter—because they can significantly impact final investment returns.
That’s why we’ve built our business model around three core strategies:
Full transparency
We disclose fees in each offering's details and offering circular so you can see what you're paying and why. Arrived's Regulation A offerings are qualified by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and we file annual audited financial statements for each Regulation A investment, which are publicly available to all investors.Competitive fees
Our business model and use of technology are designed to help keep investor-paid fees low.Simple, easy-to-understand
We keep our fee structure straightforward and designed to be easy to understand so you can focus on building your portfolio with confidence.
Fees designed to be competitive
We aim to keep fees low by generating some revenue from property sellers rather than investors. Specifically, we utilize agent rebates—a fee paid by the seller when we purchase a property. When Arrived acquires a rental property, we collect this agent rebate as part of the standard transaction process. Importantly, this rebate does not come out of your investment. By using this approach, we can offset costs that might otherwise be charged to investors.
Transparent and simple asset management fees
Arrived charges its clients a small AUM (assets under management) fee¹ to cover the essential services that make Arrived’s platform seamless for investors. That AUM fee varies by product and ranges from 0.1% to 0.30% per quarter. That's roughly $1.00-$3.00 per quarter for every $1,000 invested.
The AUM fee covers services such as:
Preparing tax forms for investors
Distributing dividends
Procuring insurance policies and filing claims
Ensuring timely property tax and loan payments
Overseeing financial accounting and property managers, including rental rate analysis, expense management, and property improvement
Professional oversight of expense management
While we have discussed AUM fees, it’s worth highlighting that additional expenses and fees at the asset or fund level may be incurred through the regular course of business when acquiring and managing real estate investments. This is common with most alternative asset investment companies and nearly all mutual funds, ETFs, and REITs.
These other costs can include items already included in the original offering price (like closing costs, escrow fees, and a one-time sourcing fee), which can be found on the offering details section of every property's financial tab and the offering documents. There are also future operating expenses (such as repairs and maintenance, property management costs, or property taxes) that are paid from future rental income.
Why we’re obsessed with low fees
The financial services industry has long been criticized for excessive fee structures that erode investor returns. At Arrived, we’re turning that model on its head.
We’ve built our business with technology and economies of scale to keep costs down and deliver a better investor experience. From automating tax preparation to overseeing property management with precision, every decision is focused on saving our investors money while delivering a better investor experience.
This approach isn’t just about fees—it’s about transforming how people invest in real estate.
By putting investors first and embracing transparency, simplicity, and innovation, Arrived is creating a future where more people can access residential real estate investing without unnecessary fees weighing them down.
