Arrived vs. EquityMultiple 2026 Real Estate Investing Comparison

Fractional shares of long-term single-family rentals, short-term vacation rentals, the Single Family Residential Fund, and the Private Credit Fund. Most investors hold a basket of individual properties.

Individual CRE deals (equity, preferred equity, senior debt), Alpine Notes (3/6/9-month terms), and periodic income funds. Deal flow is curated but finite, at any given time only a handful of offerings may be open.

Arrived's portfolio is heavily concentrated in the southern and mid-western U.S.: Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, Arkansas, the Carolinas, and Florida, plus tourism markets like Tennessee and Arizona for vacation rentals.

Commercial projects across U.S. markets: multifamily, industrial, office, hospitality, and specialty assets, with deal-by-deal geographic disclosure in each offering's documents.

Q1 2026 dividend yields averaged about 3.6% on long-term rentals and 2.4% on short-term rentals, with the Private Credit Fund yielding closer to 8.1%. Across 173 exited properties, total returns averaged 18.6% over the hold period (not annualized). The advertised total return range across the platform is 4.7%–12.8% per year combining income and appreciation.

Varies by product: Alpine Notes pay 6.0–7.35% fixed APY, debt and preferred equity deals target roughly 8–14% annualized income, and common equity deals target higher total returns with commensurate risk. The platform reports a double-digit net IRR across realized equity deals since 2019, but individual deal outcomes range from strong exits to principal impairment. Past performance does not guarantee future results.

Arrived charges a sourcing fee (~3.5–5% of home cost), an annual AUM fee (~0.15% of property value), and property management fees of roughly 8% of gross rents collected (passed to a third-party manager). Vacation rentals carry additional gross-revenue fees.

Roughly 0.5–1.5% annual asset management fee depending on the deal, plus origination fees on some offerings, a $30–$70 annual administrative fee per investment, and a promote (carried interest) on many equity deals. Alpine Notes carry no investor-level fees.

Long-term rentals are designed for a 5–7 year hold; vacation rentals for up to 15 years. Arrived decides when to sell each property based on its own assessment of market conditions.

Alpine Notes: 3, 6, or 9 months with early redemption after 30 days if rolled into another EquityMultiple offering. Everything else: the life of the deal, typically 3–5+ years with extension risk.
