We expect that we will declare and pay dividends on a quarterly basis, and that the dividend rate will be set at a level that we be believe will be consistent and sustainable over time. There can be no assurance as to when, if, and at what level, dividends will be paid as that is a decision our Board of Directors makes each quarter.

Since inception, we’ve delivered 10% annualized quarterly dividends with a future target of 8-10%. You can find more information on our historical dividends on the SEC’s website and in our Historical Performance.

To the extent returns are generated on any investment, they would be reflected through (i) distributions in the form of dividends, and (ii) potential appreciation in asset value. The timing and amount of an investor’s return is not guaranteed, and past performance is not indicative of future returns.

Investments in stREITwise are open to both accredited and non-accredited investors in accordance with the “qualified purchaser” requirements included in our OC. If you are a non-accredited investor and a natural person, your investment may be no more than 10% of the greater of (i) your individual or joint net worth, excluding the value of your residence, and (ii) your individual or joint income in each of the two most recent years, as well as your expected income in the current year. Full detail on the qualification requirements is available in our Offering Circular.

$1,000 is the minimum initial investment. Once you’ve invested you can increase your holdings in $500 increments.

There is an upfront 3% fee and an ongoing 2% management fee, all taken out before your dividend distribution. For example, last quarter we distributed 10% annualized dividends to investors and that amount is net of fees, meaning fees were taken out beforehand.

Unlike some other REITs which charge up to 15% in the form of upfront fees, asset management fees, acquisition fees, disposition fees, financing fees, performance fees and other expenses, stREITwise has a simple and transparent fee model that results in much lower fees to our investors. This is the reason why we received the Best Fees Award by the Real Estate Crowdfund Review. Full details of our compensation and fees is included in our Offering Circular.

Yes, there are risks. Similar to any investment, there is no guarantee of a return of principal or any return thereon. The real estate market is cyclical and it is difficult to know how and when the market will change.

The stREITwise principals have over 40 years of combined real estate investing experience and over $5.4 billion in transactions, across market cycles.

There are several tax advantages to investing in REITs that aren’t available with other investable companies:

1. Pass-through deductions: REIT investors can deduct up to 20% of their dividends.
2. No double taxation: REITs are not taxed at the corporate level which avoids the “double-taxation” of corporate tax and personal income tax.
3. Depreciation: Allows you to reclassify certain dividends from “ordinary income” to “return of capital”.
