About the Seattle City Fund
Investing in a City You Believe in
The Seattle City Fund is a new way to invest in a city's residential real estate market through Arrived. Instead of investing in a single property, your investment is spread across a diversified portfolio of high-quality rental homes in the greater Seattle area. We chose to launch our first City Fund in Seattle because we strongly believe in its long-term growth potential. As a company rooted in the city, with team members who live and work here, we have firsthand insight into its economic strength, housing demand, and investment opportunities—making Seattle the ideal starting point for City Funds.
Why a City Fund?
- Targeted market exposure: Focus your investment on rental properties in a specific market to take advantage of local trends and potential property appreciation.
- Optimized fund economics: Arrived City Funds provide the control of individual property investing while maximizing efficiency through shared costs. By pooling multiple properties, expenses like LLC fees, audits, and tax preparation are spread across the fund, reducing overhead and improving returns.
- Built-in diversification: Your capital is allocated across multiple rental properties, reducing exposure to individual property risks.
- Hassle-free investing: Arrived handles every detail—from acquiring properties and finding tenants to managing maintenance, accounting, and tax preparation—all within a REIT-qualified structure that helps provide built-in tax advantages and a truly passive investing experience.
- Professional cash management: We manage cash through a diversified portfolio of short-term real estate credit investments, aiming to generate competitive yields while maintaining liquidity for future investment opportunities.
Property Selection Strategy
- Appreciation potential through land strategy: When evaluating properties for the fund, we look beyond rental income to consider long-term appreciation opportunities. Specifically, we may target properties with land that could support future development. Even if we don’t build immediately, the ability to increase housing density can enhance a property’s value over time—offering investors another avenue for potential returns.
- Proximity to transit and infrastructure investment: We may prioritize properties located near major public transit and infrastructure projects, which tend to benefit from strong renter demand and long-term appreciation. Homes within these transit-oriented zones often qualify for favorable zoning rules which can further enhance property value over time.
- Strategic county selection for long-term value and growth: The fund may target areas just outside Seattle’s city core—like southern Snohomish County—where home prices are more accessible, competition is lower, and renter demand remains high. These locations offer strong proximity to major employers, transit access, and urban amenities, while benefiting from spillover growth and appreciation from the broader Seattle housing market.
