Arrived Homes Alternatives Beyond Rental Shares
The short answer
The main Arrived Homes alternatives are Ark7 and Lofty for similar rental shares, Fundrise for one diversified fund, and sponsor marketplaces such as Relli. Relli suits investors who want apartments, commercial property or a choice of sponsors. Arrived itself sells shares of single rental homes it buys, from $100.
- Arrived is the sponsor of every offering. It buys each home and sells shares in it from $100, to accredited and non-accredited investors.
- Arrived vs Fundrise is a choice of control. Arrived lets you back a specific home; Fundrise picks the properties for a fund you can enter from $10.
- Ark7 and Lofty keep the same model. Ark7 sells $20 shares, and Lofty sells blockchain tokens often priced at about $50 or less.
- Larger properties mean larger checks. The median stated minimum across 957 residential Form D offerings was $50,000 (Oct 2025 to Sep 2026).

Beyond one house
What are the alternatives to Arrived Homes beyond rental shares?
The alternatives to Arrived Homes beyond rental shares are sponsor marketplaces such as Relli, fund menus such as Crowd Street, and Fundrise's diversified funds. Arrived Homes alternatives split by what you want to move toward. An Arrived share is a slice of one rental home or an Arrived fund, and Arrived sponsors every offering.
- For more sponsors and property types: marketplaces such as Relli, or fund menus such as Crowd Street (formerly CrowdStreet).
- For one diversified fund: Fundrise.
- For the same model in another app: Ark7 or Lofty.
The table orders platforms by how far each moves beyond single-home shares, starting with the widest choice of sponsors and property types. Arrived is first for reference.
| Platform | What one investment buys | Who sponsors it | Who can invest | Minimum | Getting money out |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Arrived (reference) | Shares of one rental home or an Arrived fund | Arrived itself | Anyone | $100 | Resale market after 6 months, no guaranteed sale |
| Relli | A stake in a multifamily, commercial or fund offering | Several independent sponsors | Mostly accredited | From $25,000, set by each sponsor | Hold to the offering's term |
| Crowd Street | Shares of a large manager's fund or REIT | Managers such as Nuveen and StepStone | Accredited | Typically from $5,000 | Set by each fund |
| Fundrise | Shares of a diversified real estate fund | Fundrise itself | Anyone | $10 via a plan | Quarterly repurchase offers, limited |
Why people move on
Why do investors look beyond Arrived?
Investors look beyond Arrived when they want more than one sponsor, larger properties or a bigger single investment. Four facts sit behind that.
- Arrived buys every home itself and sells shares through one series per home. Each share depends on one property's tenants and costs.
- The homes are single-family and vacation rentals. The funds include a Single Family Residential Fund and a Real Estate Income Fund of short-term residential loans. None is apartments or commercial property.
- Fees sit inside each vehicle. Arrived's adviser filing lists a sourcing fee of up to 3.5% for the vehicles it advises, plus asset and property management fees. Each property's offering circular sets its own fees. The Arrived fees compared with Relli page has the detail.
- An exit depends on finding a buyer in Arrived's resale market after a six-month hold.
Is Arrived Homes legit?
Arrived Homes is a real operating company that sells shares under Regulation A. Each offering is described in an offering circular filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Its adviser entity, Arrived Advisors, LLC (CRD 343847), showed an SEC registration status of "120-Day Approval" effective October 6, 2026. That status is on the SEC's adviser search.
In November 2025 Arrived raised $27 million to build its secondary market (Yahoo Finance). As shown on arrived.com in October 2026, it counted about 1 million registered investors and $488 million invested.
Legitimate is not the same as low-risk. Arrived says its properties and funds "may pay monthly dividends" that are "not guaranteed," and a share's value rises or falls with one home.
Is Arrived Homes a good investment?
Arrived Homes can suit an investor who wants a small stake in single-family rentals. Whether it is a good investment depends on the fees inside each home and on how long you can wait to sell.
Arrived's adviser filing allows a sourcing fee of up to 3.5% of a home's purchase price, plus management fees. Shares can be listed only in quarterly resale windows after a six-month hold, with no guaranteed sale or price.
The minimum is $100, and offerings are open to non-accredited investors. The Arrived vs Relli worked example puts that sourcing fee in dollars on a $300,000 home.
Arrived vs Fundrise
Arrived vs Fundrise: which one fits you?
Arrived and Fundrise both take non-accredited investors with small minimums but sell different things. Arrived sells slices of specific homes. Fundrise sells shares in its own diversified funds and picks the properties.
| Question | Arrived | Fundrise |
|---|---|---|
| What you own | Shares of one home, or an Arrived fund | Shares of Fundrise's funds |
| Who picks the property | Arrived buys homes; you choose which to back | Fundrise |
| Starting amount | $100 | $10 through a plan |
| Platform fees | Up to 3.5% sourcing, plus management fees | 0.15% advisory plus 0.85% management a year |
| Exit route | Resale market after six months | Quarterly repurchase offers, pro rata if full |
| Scale, dated | $488M invested (site, Oct 2026) | $3.4B AUM (Jun 30, 2026) |
Fundrise's quarterly offers recently covered 5% of shares, filled pro rata when more investors ask. Fund expenses come on top of the fees above. To own a specific house, Arrived fits; for one holding across many properties, Fundrise does. The Fundrise alternatives guide covers the reverse move.
Other share apps
How does Ark7 compare with Arrived?
Ark7 is the closest like-for-like Arrived alternative: it also sells Regulation A shares of individual rental homes, at $20 a share, through a broker-dealer. Lofty sells similar slices as blockchain tokens.
| Question | Arrived | Ark7 | Lofty |
|---|---|---|---|
| Entry point | From $100 | $20 a share | Often about $50 a share or less |
| Who can buy | Accredited and non-accredited | Not stated on site | Open; KYC above $200 |
| Selling | Resale market after six months | After a minimum hold; no assured buyer | In-app market, "no lockups"; paid in USDC |
| Payouts | May pay monthly; not guaranteed | $4MM+ paid in dividends (May 2026) | Rent paid daily |
| Registration noted | Adviser in SEC 120-day approval (Oct 6, 2026) | Offered via Dalmore Group LLC, a FINRA broker-dealer | Says it is "not a registered broker-dealer" |
| Investors, per the company | About 1 million registered | 300K+ active (May 2026) | 40K+ (undated) |
Moving between these apps changes the app, not the investment: each still ties your money to the rent and resale value of a single home. Buying a whole rental is the other direction, covered in the guide to turnkey rentals.
Selling early
Can you sell your Arrived shares?
Arrived shares can be sold, but not on demand. After a six-month minimum hold, investors may list shares on Arrived's secondary market in scheduled windows run through a third-party trading system. That market "does not guarantee a sale or a specific price." Arrived's funds process redemptions quarterly, subject to limits and fees.
Relli offerings have no resale market, so expect to hold for the full term, often several years. The guide to selling private real estate early explains the options and why sales often happen at a discount.
Bigger properties
Should you move from rental shares to an apartment or commercial offering?
An apartment or commercial syndication is a different investment from an Arrived share, not a bigger version of it. A sponsor buys a larger property or portfolio, runs it for a set term and sells it, with investors as limited partners.
Relli's analysis of SEC Form D data covered 957 residential real estate offerings filed between October 1, 2025 and September 30, 2026. Their median stated minimum was $50,000, against Arrived's $100.
On Relli you can compare open offerings from established sponsors across property types and talk to each sponsor before deciding. Most are for accredited investors, and the sponsor confirms eligibility. The guides to multifamily syndications and build-to-rent explain those deals.
Relli
Sponsor marketplace · Many sponsors, many property types
- Minimum
- From $25,000
- Who can invest
- Mostly accredited
Relli is a private real estate marketplace for investors ready to go past single homes. Established sponsors list apartment, commercial and fund offerings. Each sponsor page shows the firm's reported track record and assets under management (AUM), and relli.co shows $5B+ in combined sponsor AUM. You talk with the sponsor's team directly, sponsors pay Relli a subscription, and investors pay Relli $0 today. Relli, founded in 2023, has a smaller, curated set of offerings and no resale market.
Good fit if you
- Want apartments or commercial property
- Want to compare sponsors, not only properties
- Can commit for several years
Not a fit if you
- Want to start below $25,000
- Want to sell within months
Crowd Street
Fund menu · Accredited only
- Minimum
- Typically $5,000
- Who can invest
- Accredited
Crowd Street, called CrowdStreet until May 29, 2025, offers accredited investors pooled funds and non-traded real estate investment trusts (REITs). Its managers include Nuveen, StepStone, PGIM and Clarion. Offerings typically start from $5,000 (Form CRS, May 18, 2026). The funds pay Crowd Street, partly through sales loads of typically 1.5% to 3.5% deducted from each investment.
Good fit if you
- Want commercial exposure through big-manager funds
- Are accredited and want to start near $5,000
Not a fit if you
- Are not accredited
- Want to choose one specific property
Our method
How did Relli compare Arrived and its alternatives?
Relli compared Arrived and its alternatives by reading each platform's own pages on October 20, 2026, then its filings. The filings were Arrived Advisors' Form ADV and SEC registration status, Crowd Street's Form CRS and Rise Companies' 10-Q. Ark7 and Lofty figures are the companies' own. Every platform got the same five questions: what one investment buys, who sponsors it, who can invest, the minimum and how money comes out.
Platforms are ordered by how far each moves beyond single-home shares. Nothing is scored or ranked, and no platform paid to be included. Relli appears with its limits because it is an option and publishes this page.
Arrived details
When does Arrived pay dividends, and who has backed it?
Arrived's dividends may be paid monthly but are not guaranteed, and its November 2025 round included Bezos Expeditions.
Is Jeff Bezos an investor in Arrived?
Bezos Expeditions took part in Arrived's $27 million round in November 2025, led by Neo with Forerunner, according to Yahoo Finance.
When does Arrived pay dividends?
Arrived says its properties and funds "may pay monthly dividends." Payments depend on each home's rent and costs and are not guaranteed.
Is an Arrived share like a REIT?
Not in how you exit. A listed REIT trades daily and is "typically a liquid investment," per the SEC's 2016 bulletin; an Arrived share sells only in Arrived's resale windows.
Which alternatives take non-accredited investors?
Fundrise and Lofty are open to non-accredited investors, and Ark7's site does not state a limit. Crowd Street is for accredited investors only, as are most offerings on Relli. Check the accredited investor tests if you are unsure.
