There's a whole slew of home ownership startups recently; I was recently buying a house and checked them out. Board (https://board.live https://board.live) lets you make a cash offer instead of a Zerodown (https://zerodown.com https://zerodown.com) and Unison (https://unison.com https://unison.com) I believe have a similar models to Arrived, with some different specifics. Generally, they seem to be a response to how hard it is for millenials to buy homes [1]. I did the numbers on ZeroDown, and it seems to be a good deal for someone early in their careers who is faced with high rent and student loans to pay off, given their other choice is waiting 15-20 years to save up a down-payment (during which time prices will have tripled again).
