invested in private real estate debt
As with any investment, investors should make sure they consider the key risks before investing. In the case of commercial mortgages, loans are subject to illiquidity risk and default risk. There is also no assurance that commercial real estate investments will provide regular, stable distributions.
Why commercial real estate debt investing?
Investors in commercial real estate debt serve as lenders to property owners to help purchase, renovate or repurpose a property. An investor’s return is largely driven by the interest income paid on the loan (or other form of debt) and retains a degree of insulation. That is, commercial real estate debt investors are paid ahead of property owners, which is important if there is a change in the amount of income a property generates or the value of a property.
FS Credit REIT provides a differentiated way to invest in a $5.9T commercial real estate debt market opportunity by investing primarily in floating rate senior loans secured by commercial real estate properties across the U.S.*
What it means to be a senior lender
Senior lenders are the first to be paid from a property’s rental income and the last to absorb losses if property values decline. This seniority may help preserve income and principal.
What happens if property values decline?
What happens if rental income falls?
Tax advantaged distributions
REIT tax advantages allow FS Credit REIT investors to realize attractive, consistent and tax-advantaged distributions.
Annualized distribution rate comparison
Assumes a 37% tax bracket as of June 30, 2024
FS Credit REIT’s failure to qualify or remain qualified to be taxed as a REIT would adversely affect the NAV and the amount of cash available for distribution to stockholders.
- Dividends that are not declared as capital gain dividends or qualified dividend income.
- Tax-equivalent distribution rate reflects the distribution rate required under the prior tax law in order for an investor to receive the same after-tax income under the new tax law. For example, a REIT’s annualized distribution rate would need to be 8.5% under the prior tax law in order for investors to receive the same amount of after-tax income as a REIT with an annualized distribution rate of 7.6% under the new tax law.
