The real estate investment platform backed by Amazon.com Inc founder Jeff Bezos has continued ramping up its acquisitions of single-family rental homes in several U.S. markets.
Arrived Homes acquires single-family homes to use as rental properties, then sells shares of these properties to investors through its online platform. The demand for rental property shares has grown exponentially so far in 2022, with a total of 165 properties now funded on the platform with a value of over $60 million.
The company has investment properties in 20 of the top 100 cities for population growth in the U.S. and estimates that it will expand to 40 of the top 100 cities by the end of the year. Most recently, Arrived Homes expanded into Nashville, Cincinnati and Indianapolis.
The investment platform is now able to take advantage of the cooling-down period in the housing market to ramp up its purchases at a time when a growing number of investors are looking for alternative investment options outside of the stock market.
