Have you ever wanted to invest in real estate but did not have the time or money to commit to buying and managing a property? We created Ark7 to solve this dilemma. Ark7 is a real estate platform that lets you buy property shares like you buy stocks and—unlike REITs—lets you directly choose the properties you want to invest in. �Our Story When our founder, Andy Zhao, an ex-engineer for Google, first considered investing in real estate in the Bay Area, he found it required a great deal of time and money to purchase and maintain a property. After discussing these barriers of entry into real estate investment with Jim, a friend and longtime real estate agent, Andy decided he wanted to create Ark7—a company that makes investing in property as easy as buying stocks. ✔�How Our Users Benefit from Ark7 We created Ark7 to make real estate investment accessible to people who want to invest but do not have the time or funds to do so. Users can benefit from using Ark7 to invest in properties located in different cities with low-cost shares at as low as $5 without the hassle of having to manage properties. Our full-service platform gives users control over their investments including: picking properties, managing their portfolio, and viewing their income. Ark7’s investing model is especially a good way for beginners to dip their toes into real estate investing without having to risk a large amount of time or money buying and managing a property by themselves. 📈The Details On Our Process Our team carefully vets each property we buy so we pick properties most likely to appreciate and have stable monthly rental income. Important property data such as photos of the property, the neighborhood it is located in, and legal documents are available for registered users to view. Users can also see property appreciation and any monthly dividends made from their investment on their Ark7 account. Additionally, since we offer properties in Austin and Berkeley, users can divide their investments across multiple properties. Our platform can be an easy way to diversify our users’ portfolios that is less volatile than the stock market. Right now, we have over 2,000 users who are mostly engineers at the big tech firms in the west coast. We are currently looking for early-stage users to give us feedback on our product and platform.
