Landa

The Bottom Line

Landa offers a great customer experience, liquidity, and decent returns, but has a worrisome lack of return projections and historical performance data.

Landa Pros:

Good user experience πŸ“±

Landa's mobile app is easy, intuitive, and delightful.

Low minimums Β πŸ”‘

Investors can get started from just $5.

Some liquidity ⏩

Landa's secondary marketplace is one of the only in the space, making real liquidity a possibility.

‍

Landa Cons:

Lack of documentation & projection data πŸ“‰

It's very difficult to fully understand what you're buying before you buy into a Landa property, and impossible to understand how Landa properties have performed in aggregate.

Investment Tip: Make sure to deeply understand an investment before you make it

Poor diversification options πŸ“

Most Landa properties are located in a single U.S. state, making investors vulnerable to market swings.

Investment Tip: Always ensure proper diversification across your investment portfolio

All properties are mortgaged πŸ’Έ

Landa buys properties outright before selling fractions back to their investors. Investors therefore carry the cost of financing the property.

Investment Tip: Keep an eye out for fees that benefit the investment provider rather than the investor

Trading only available during business hours βŒ›

You'll have to make trades on Landa's secondary market while you're at work .

Investment Tip: Make sure investment opportunities are flexible to your needs before making them

Arrived Homes

The Bottom Line

Arrived Homes is an easy option for unsophisticated investors to access quality fractional real estate, but their lack of transparency around recouping investments is deeply concerning.

Arrived Homes Pros:

Easy to Use ✨

Makes it easy to invest in real estate with a well designed platform and low entry costs

Great property options 🏠

Gives investors access to Class A properties.

Strong track record πŸ“œ

Has an experienced team and has funded over 150 properties

Low Minimum Investment πŸ”‘

Investors can invest as much as they like as long as it's over $100

‍

Arrived Homes Cons:‍‍

Long Lockup Period πŸ”

Expected investment period is 5 to 7 years

Investment Tip: Have an exit plan before you make an investment

‍‍Hidden penalty details and exit options πŸ’Έ

Selling early requires an application and, if approved, incurs unspecified β€œpenalties”

Investment Tip: Beware of investments with undisclosed fees and exit options

Low rent returns πŸ“‰

Typical rent yield of 3-5% per year is low compared with returns from other real estate investment options (typically 5-15% rent yield per year) and the stock market (average 10% per year).

Investment Tip: Compare the return of an investment with alternative options

Slow rent payout 🐌

Only pays rent to investors a few times a year – much less often than other real estate investment options

Investment Tip: Factor in how quickly returns are delivered to your compounding calculations
