Jeff Bezos revolutionized how people shop by building Amazon. Now, he’s backing a company transforming how people invest in real estate.
When Amazon went public in 1997, it was an online bookstore in a world that still shopped in stores. Few recognized the larger shift: Amazon was helping democratize commerce by making more products accessible to more people.
Now, Jeff Bezos is betting on another company built around the same idea—this time in real estate.
Through his personal investment company, Bezos is backing Arrived, an investing platform working to democratize an asset class long dominated by institutions and the wealthy.
The idea is simple: Investing in real estate should be as easy as investing in a stock—accessible to anyone, investable in minutes, and simple to buy, sell, and diversify.
That’s why nearly 1 million registered investors have already invested more than $445+ million through Arrived in just a few short years.

He’s hardly alone. For generations, many of the world’s wealthiest families and institutions have relied on real estate for income, appreciation, and diversification.
But historically, building a real estate portfolio required significant capital, specialized expertise, and hands-on management—putting one of the world’s largest asset classes out of reach for most investors.
Arrived is built around a simple idea: real estate investing should be as easy as investing in a stock. That vision rests on three core principles:
Democratization
Open an asset class long reserved for institutions and the wealthy to millions of everyday investors.
Technology
Build a modern investing experience from the ground up for the internet—simple, transparent, and accessible.
Scale
Create a platform capable of bringing real estate investing to millions, not just a privileged few.
Arrived lets you buy shares in individual rental homes and professionally managed real estate funds, making real estate investing accessible without a large down payment or the hassle of being a landlord. Create an account in minutes, browse available properties and funds, and start investing with as little as $100.
From there, spread your investment across multiple homes, markets, and investment strategies, building a real estate portfolio shaped around your own goals while Arrived handles the day-to-day work of being a landlord.

","answer":"The Arrived platform is currently open to U.S. citizens or residents over 18. Individuals do not need to be accredited investors to participate.
Individuals may also invest through certain entities or self-directed retirement accounts.
How much can I invest?
","answer":"Our mission at Arrived is to make investing in real estate accessible to everyone. Whether you have $100 or $1,000,000, anyone can build a real estate portfolio to meet their individual investment needs.
"},{"question":"What type of products are available on Arrived?
","answer":"At Arrived, we simplify real estate investing by offering diverse investment opportunities. You can buy shares directly in rental homes (investing in equity) or provide short-term financing for real estate projects (investing in real estate-backed debt). Below are the three main asset types:
Single Family Residential Properties - Arrived focuses on purchasing single family residential homes and renting them out to long-term tenants, typically for periods ranging from one to two years. The goal is not just to provide rental housing but also to eventually sell the property for a profit after it has appreciated in value. Single family residential properties are available for investment either as individual properties or as part of an already diversified fund.
Vacation Rental Properties - Focusing on prime tourist destinations, Arrived invests in vacation rentals and transforms them into luxury boutique accommodations. These vacation homes are listed on popular online platforms like Airbnb and VRBO (Vacation Rental By Owner). This specialization aims to satisfy the growing demand for high-end, short-term stays in desirable locations.
Arrived Real Estate Income Fund - The Arrived Real Estate Income Fund provides funding for renovations, rehabs, and new construction nationwide. Investors can benefit from interest-based returns secured by residential real estate assets, making it a compelling choice for those seeking consistent, secured income.
"},{"question":"Will I have any responsibilities for managing properties I invest in? If not, who is responsible?
","answer":"Arrived takes care of all your homeownership responsibilities, such as selecting, purchasing, and renovating your home or vacation rental, as well as finding tenants, managing bookings, and dealing with maintenance requests. Arrived works with experienced property managers who handle the day-to-day management responsibility. These property managers have many years of experience, enabling them to maximize returns and minimize operating costs.
"},{"question":"What type of returns can I obtain?
","answer":"Investing in Arrived rental properties can deliver returns to investors in two different ways:
1) Dividends from the rental income on each property; currently paid out to investors monthly
2) Appreciation from the change in property value that will be realized at the end of the investment hold period
See this Help Center article to learn more about historical return ranges.
