How it works

You commit capital. We carry the weight.

Every step of owning rental property — sourcing, closing, renovating, leasing, managing, filing taxes — has a specialist behind it. Aruvi stitches those specialists together. You see the numbers and sign the documents; we do the rest.

Step 01

Source & underwrite a deal worth your time.

The best deals are the ones that never make it to Zillow. Our operators work off-market, through broker relationships and community networks built over years.

What you do
  • Review the deal memo when we share it
  • Stress-test the numbers however you like — we share raw assumptions
  • Say yes, say no, or ask for a different deal
What we do
  • Find off-market deals through broker and community networks
  • Underwrite conservatively — rent comps, vacancy, reno, exit cap
  • Walk the property, talk to neighbors, check permits
  • Negotiate terms, run inspection, write the memo

You'll see one deal at a time, not a feed. If the numbers don't work for you, they don't work. We'd rather wait for the right one than fill a dashboard with filler.
Step 02

Close cleanly, in an LLC with your name on the deed.

We form a purpose-built LLC for every deal. Title company, attorney, mortgage broker — all preferred vendors we've used before. Closing takes four to six weeks; you sign remotely if you want.

What you do
  • Wire your capital to the LLC's closing account
  • Sign the operating agreement and closing docs
  • Meet your co-investor over a call (if applicable)
What we do
  • File the LLC and EIN
  • Coordinate with title, attorney, and mortgage broker
  • Walk through every line of the HUD with you
  • Open a bookkeeping account in the LLC's name

Why an LLC per deal. Clean tax treatment. Clean exit — you can buy out partners and walk away with the property in your name. No pooling, no REIT dilution, no platform lock-in.
Step 03

Renovate to rent-ready. On scope, on schedule.

Most of our deals need a cosmetic lift — paint, floors, kitchen refresh, landscaping. Our operator runs the GCs directly. You watch progress in the dashboard; you never get a 2am text about a tile decision.

What you do
  • Approve the scope and budget (or push back on it)
  • Watch weekly progress photos roll into the dashboard
  • Raise a flag if something concerns you — we'll respond same-day
What we do
  • Scope the work with 2-3 vetted GCs, choose the best bid
  • Manage schedule, materials, permits, inspections
  • Walk the site weekly, document, update the dashboard
  • Handle overruns and surprises with transparent change orders

We charge a flat fee for renovation management — not a percentage of cost. Which means we have zero incentive to inflate budgets. Every invoice shows up in the dashboard, line-itemized.
Step 04

Manage the property. Distribute the cashflow.

Leasing, tenant screening, rent collection, maintenance calls, bookkeeping — all handled by our in-house team. You get a monthly distribution to the account of your choice, and a dashboard that reconciles every dollar.

What you do
  • Receive monthly distributions
  • Get notified of material events (big repair, lease signed, turn)
  • Check the dashboard whenever you feel like it
What we do
  • Market the unit, screen tenants, sign the lease
  • Collect rent, pay expenses, reconcile the books
  • Respond to maintenance 24/7, with vetted contractors
  • Distribute monthly cashflow; escrow for cap-ex
Long-term or short-term rental — your call. Some markets (Morristown, Jersey City) can pencil as STR. We'll underwrite both, and you decide based on your risk preference.
Step 05

Year-end, tax season, and eventual exits.

A good property investment isn't just about monthly yield — it's about tax treatment and optionality. We coordinate with a CPA partner for K-1s and depreciation. And when you want out, there's a clear path: refinance, partner buyout, or sale.

What you do
  • Download your year-end tax packet, hand it to your CPA
  • Decide when (or if) you want to exit
  • Consider adding a second or third deal (we like that)
What we do
  • Prepare K-1s, depreciation schedules, property P&L
  • Coordinate with our tax partner — a CPA who knows real estate
  • Run annual valuations and refinance analysis
  • Coordinate sales or partner buyouts per the operating agreement
You can buy your partners out. Our operating agreements include a buyout provision at independently-appraised value. The property is yours; the LLC just makes the math work.
A glimpse of the product

And when you log in, this is what you see.

Your positions, your cashflow, your documents. Quiet by default. We'll keep it honest and usable — nothing fancy, nothing you don't need.

Real dashboards are shared after we've spoken. This is a rough sketch.
