Common questions
REITs explained
-
A Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) is a company that owns, operates, or finances income-producing real estate. By law, REITs must distribute at least 90% of their taxable income to shareholders annually — making them one of the most income-oriented investment structures available.
-
Unlike publicly traded REITs listed on stock exchanges, non-traded REITs are not subject to daily market price fluctuations. This can reduce volatility and help investors stay focused on the long-term performance of the underlying real estate portfolio.
-
REIT investors may benefit from depreciation deductions, pass-through income treatment under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, and potential return-of-capital distributions that reduce taxable income in the near term. Consulting a qualified tax advisor is always recommended.
-
RealtyMogul's non-traded REITs declare distributions on a monthly basis, providing investors with a consistent and predictable income stream. Distributions may be received as cash or reinvested through a distribution reinvestment plan (DRIP).
-
Both the RealtyMogul Income REIT and Growth REIT have a minimum investment of $5,000, making them significantly more accessible than direct real estate ownership or traditional institutional real estate funds that often require $1M or more.
-
Both REITs offer a limited share redemption program subject to availability, holding period requirements, and other conditions outlined in the offering documents. These are illiquid investments and investors should plan accordingly.
