Arrived vs. CrowdStreet 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 commercial real estate deals (multifamily, industrial, hospitality, office, retail, medical office, data centers, parking) and the C-REIT diversified fund. Most carry a $25,000 minimum.

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.

Deals span the U.S. with concentration in growth-market metros — Texas, Florida, Arizona, Georgia, the Carolinas, Tennessee, and the Mountain West. Each project's location is disclosed in its offering 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.

CrowdStreet reports a historical realized IRR of approximately 18.3% before fees across exited deals. After typical sponsor fees, real net IRR is meaningfully lower and varies deal-by-deal. Some realized deals have lost all investor capital — a reality CrowdStreet discloses in its annual performance report.

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.

Reported returns are gross of fees. Sponsors charge investors whatever they see fit — fees can exceed 20% of invested capital over the hold period. CrowdStreet itself charges sponsors 0.5–2% to list, indirectly built into deal pricing.

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.

Hold periods are typically 3–7 years. CrowdStreet's own disclosures warn investors may be forced to hold for 10+ years if sponsors delay sale.
