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 Real Estate Income Trust provides a differentiated way to invest in a $5.5T commercial real estate debt market opportunity by investing primarily in floating rate senior loans secured by commercial real estate properties across the U.S.*

Tax advantage
The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 introduced a change to the taxation of ordinary REIT dividends.1 REITs are generally not taxed at the corporate level to the extent they distribute all of their taxable income as dividends. The tax law provided a 20% deduction on ordinary REIT dividends. As a result, REIT investors may receive higher after-tax income compared to the prior tax law.
Hypothetical REIT distributions under new tax law:
7.0%
Distribution rate
Assumes a 37% tax bracket

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 6.7% 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 6.0% under the new tax law.
