Ark7

Ark7 is a San Francisco-based fractional real estate investing platform founded in 2019 that makes residential and commercial rental properties accessible to non-accredited investors. The platform structures each property as an LLC and sells shares starting at $20 per share, with no investor accreditation requirement. Investors receive monthly rental income distributions proportional to their ownership stake, and the platform aims to offer liquidity through a secondary market where existing shares can be resold to other investors on the platform. As of early 2026, Ark7 has financed approximately 95+ properties across Texas, Georgia, South Carolina, and other Sun Belt markets, with aggregate AUM in the tens of millions.

The platform handles property acquisition, tenant placement, ongoing management, and quarterly inspections through a combination of its internal team and vetted third-party property managers. Investors hold their equity through the LLC structure (not a pooled fund), which means the platform's performance fees and operational fees are layered within each individual property's economics. Ark7's fee structure is among the less transparent in the space and has been a point of friction in investor reviews: the platform charges 8%–15% of gross rental income as a management fee (depending on property tier), which is meaningfully higher than comparable fractional real estate platforms like Arrived ($0 management fee built into pricing) or Fundrise ($0 for the eREIT product).
