Concreit targets a 5.5% preferred annual return for investors, focusing on income through property value growth and rental income. Investors in Home Shares can potentially achieve an 8% to 14% annual return, combining equity appreciation and cash dividends from rental payments. While these returns are based on historical data and Concreit's strategic approach, actual future returns may vary due to market conditions and economic factors.
Streitwise targets long-term investments, ideally over five years, to avoid early redemption discounts and maximize returns. There's a one-year lockout period, emphasizing the long-term approach.
Concreit typically estimates a 5-7 year hold period for investments in Home Shares. While investments are long-term, Concreit's redemption program may allow for earlier withdrawal under certain conditions, providing some flexibility regarding the investment's time horizon.

Streitwise pays dividends quarterly, about 10 days post-quarter end, offering payment via check, direct bank transfer, or through a dividend reinvestment program.
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.
Investors can request to redeem their Streitwise shares after a one-year lockout period, with redemptions processed quarterly. Early redemptions (before five years) face discounts, while shares held for five years or more are redeemed at 100% NAV. Quarterly redemption limits may delay processing.
