Some upfront costs are included when a property is acquired, such as furnishing (if applicable), trustee fees, and brokerage fees. These costs are spread over an expected 5-year holding period.
If you choose to sell your shares before the 5 years, you’ll be reimbursed for the unused portion of these costs.
For example, if you sell after 2 years, you’ll receive back the remaining 3 years’ worth of those costs.
