Payouts
Dividends

Payouts
Dividends
Concreit distributes dividends from the net income of rental properties, after deducting expenses. For Cash Flow investments, the goal is weekly dividend payments, with an option for reinvestment. Home Shares investors receive quarterly dividends based on rental income, with potential profit from property appreciation upon sale. Distribution frequency and income depend on each property's performance and market conditions.
Withdrawals
Investors can typically get their money back when the property they've invested in is sold at the end of its expected hold period, which may range from 3 to 10 years.
Withdrawals
Concreit investors face a 60-day hold period for withdrawals after investment, with the overall process taking 2-3 weeks. A short-term withdrawal fee applies to profits withdrawn within 12 months, where investors receive their full principal but only 4/5 of short-term gains.
Extra Fees
Yes
AcreTrader charges investors initial closing costs around 2% of the offering value and an annual 0.75% servicing fee of the land's value for management. The primary revenue comes from a 5% commission on the farm's sale, charged to the seller. There are no “carried interest fees.” Fee structures vary by deal, so reviewing offering documents is recommended for specifics.
Extra Fees
Yes
Concreit charges a flat $5 monthly fee for accounts under $5,000 and a 1.0% annual fee for balances of $5,000 or more, aimed at covering asset management costs. Fees are deducted monthly from the investor's bank account or the fund, based on the ending account balance the day before assessment.
