Empirical Analysis & Findings

## Private Real Estate Crowdfunding: Fundrise eREIT Mechanics

Fundrise operates public non-listed real estate investment trusts ('eREITs') qualified under SEC Regulation A+ Tier 2. Unlike publicly traded REITs subject to continuous secondary market liquidity and share price volatility, eREITs price shares quarterly based on third-party appraisal and internal Net Asset Value (NAV) methodologies.

### 1. Fee Architecture and Net Total Return Components

The net investor return on a private eREIT portfolio consists of quarterly cash distribution yields plus NAV share price adjustments, minus fees:

$$\text{Net Investor Return} = \text{Cash Dividend Yield} + \Delta \text{NAV} - (\text{Advisory Fee} + \text{Asset Management Fee})$$

| Fee Component | Contractual Rate | Fee Base | Operational Impact |
|:--------------|:----------------:|:---------|:-------------------|
| Annual Advisory Fee | 0.15% | Invested Portfolio Assets | Technology platform, reporting, and investor relations |
| Asset Management Fee| 0.85% | Net Asset Value (NAV) | Property underwriting, asset level oversight, construction |
| Total Base Fee Drag | 1.00% | Invested Capital | Deducted prior to net quarterly dividend distributions |
| Acquisition Fees | 0.0% | Capital Outlay | Absorbed by internal sponsor overhead |

### 2. Share Repurchase Plan and Liquidity Haircuts

eREITs are non-liquid investment instruments. While Fundrise provides a quarterly share redemption program, repurchases are strictly capped at 5.0% of aggregate outstanding shares per quarter. Shares redeemed within the initial holding period are subject to penalty haircuts:

$$\text{Redemption Payout} = \text{Shares} \times \text{Current NAV} \times (1 - \text{Penalty Haircut})$$

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I withdraw money from Fundrise at any time?

No. Fundrise investments are illiquid. Redemption requests are processed on a quarterly basis, subject to board approval and a 5.0% quarterly platform-wide share volume limit, with early redemptions subject to penalty haircuts.

How are Fundrise eREIT dividends taxed?

Fundrise dividends are typically taxed as ordinary income at your marginal income tax bracket, although portions classified as Return of Capital (ROC) reduce your cost basis rather than triggering immediate income tax liability.
