Investing with Streitwise means you own your percentage interest of the REIT’s portfolio – without further layers of fees and profit sharing squandered to third-party sponsors. We are the sponsor and charge a 2% annual fee. An investor does not lose 2% of their investment annually as a result of this fee, the fee is typically taken out of the dividend payment.
Historically, according to FINRA, typical non-traded REITs might incur commissions or broker-dealer fees up to 15%, diminishing the actual investment amount. In contrast, while traditional REITs invest only 85 cents of every dollar, Streitwise invests 98 cents on each dollar raised.
All dividends quoted have been net of fees. We do not charge any other fees such as waterfall / profit-sharing fees, acquisition fees, developer fees, construction management fees, servicing fees, liquidation fees, property management fees, financing fees, disposition fees, or any other hidden fees that other non-traded REITs often hide from prospective investors by burying the hidden fees in the offering documents.
While a REIT offering can claim to be low cost if it doesn’t charge investors any up-front fees, the sponsor and manager can charge the REIT fees, making “low fee” or “zero fee” claims as disingenuous. The fees may not be directly charged to investors, but they are paid by the REIT, which is funded by investor capital. Just because investors aren’t paying the fees directly doesn’t mean they don’t impact returns.
Diversify your portfolio by investing in a conservatively-leveraged REIT that has generated strong passive income to investors with a 8.3% average annualized dividend yield since 2017.
Real estate offerings like REITs with Streitwise are open to all investors and are considered one of the best ways to hedge for inflation.
