Dividend-minded investors may also be interested in Streitwise since it operates as a real estate investment trust (REIT), which tend to offer higher dividends than most equity investments.
What’s more, Streitwise is available to non-accredited investors and foreign nationals, which is rare among private REITs. On top of that, you can invest through multiple account types including self-directed individual retirement accounts (IRAs) and 401(k)s and not worry about additional fees like acquisition fees, servicing fees, property management fees, financing fees or any hidden fees.
Another downside is Streitwise‘s 2% annual fee and high redemption fees. Even though it charges no hidden fees, its annual fee still sits above much of the competition. Competitor REITs tend to charge somewhere in the ballpark of 1% annually. Exiting the Streitwise fund will also cost you upwards of 10% of the fund’s net asset value (NAV) if you exit the fund in year two of owning it. This fee tapers until the five year mark, when you can exit the fund without any discount to the NAV. To compare, Fundrise charges a 1% fee if you redeem your shares within five years.
Annual fee | 2% |
Minimum investment requirement | 500 shares at $9.23/share, or $4,615, as of February 2023 |
Redemption fee |
