mogul vs. REITs

Topic	mogul	Typical Public REIT
Ownership	Direct LLC interest in a single property	Share in a corporation owning large mixed portfolio
Income Timing	Monthly	Quarterly
Tax Shield	Depreciation passes through; cash yield often tax-deferred	100% of dividend is taxable at ordinary or qualified rates
Fees	5% one-time fee (equals <1% per year over 5 year hold); 2.5% of rental income (aligns incentives, extremely low)	1 – 2% of assets annually, plus admin overhead; potential promote structure at tail-end taking up to 20% of profits
Control	Vote on big decisions	No say; public-market whims drive price
Price Volatility	Tracks underlying real estate	Correlated with stock market swings

Example: an 8% cash yield potentiall stays 8% after depreciation on mogul, but may net ~4-5% after taxes in a REIT — and you still ride stock-market volatility. When you invest with mogul, you’re investing in real estate, not just a real estate-themed stock.
