Investing in real estate sounds like the financially smart thing to do, until reality politely taps you on the shoulder: the process is time-consuming, nuanced, and can be overwhelming. Maybe you\u2019ve been looking for a better way to invest in real estate.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Now there\u2019s a way to lower the investment risks by building a more extensively diversified investment portfolio, save time and effort in property management, enjoy monthly rental income, and invest remotely in real estate with no transaction fees. Introducing: Ark7.<\/div>\n

Ark7 started when the founder, Andy, noticed the challenges that come with real estate investing when he first wanted to invest. He saw firsthand the tedium of tenant and property management and thought, \u201cThere must be a better way.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

After researching standard investing methods such as REITs and crowdfunding platforms, what he found out was the opposite. Even with these alternatives, investors still deal with financial advisors, sales agents, asset managers, and property managers\u2014ultimately affecting the bottom line. Seeing these inefficiencies, Andy kept looking for an answer.<\/span><\/p>\n

That is where all the stars aligned: Andy met Jim Holt, a real estate expert with more than fifteen years of real estate experience, and together they founded Ark7, with the goal of <\/span>\u201cmaking real estate investment as easy as a stock investment.\u201d<\/span> Together they designed a user-friendly platform that helps aspiring real estate investors keep tabs on properties and learn more about other opportunities.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Ark7 makes the entire process transparent to their users by clearly displaying each property with nearby points of interest, estimated returns, legal documents, market appreciation predictions, and more. <\/span><\/p>\n
