Alright, since we only believe what white people say...Here's a skeptical white person who actually runs a real estate crowdfund review website featured on several major white publications.
Here is one of the security filings lawyers for TREF chiming in on the subject.
Here's the white guy's response....

So what does this all mean....
The so called "fee schedule" she posted is from Madison Trust company which is a custodian for Self Directed IRAs. Let me repeat, self directed IRAs. Here is the ACTUAL company that your money is sent to once you invest.

If you read the comments, several people questioned the authenticity of this document. She later stated that she received this document from them in regards to
rolling over her IRA. So it sounds like to me she may have an IRA with this particular or another company and they sent her the document for what her potential fees would be taking money out of her IRA. Her posts indicated that these would be the fees everyone would have to pay! Not once did she think to mention IRA in that comment until she was called out. Isn't this thread supposed to be where all the high level investors are?
As we saw with the back and forth between the filings attorney and CF Review guy, the management fee looks bad upfront, but compared to many other companies, 5.5% is fair. The dude himself said most that aren't even making a profit charge
5-8% annually just for property management. The 50% split again, is how the company will actually pay their employees as I stated earlier. Fundrise is consistently touted as having some of the lowest fees in this industry at 1% annually, yet anyone who has used or researched the platform can tell you there are several more fees you must dig deeper to find associated with having an account. Just do a quick Google search.
But hey, yall go ahead and run with the Instagram girl who posted up an IRA company's fee schedule
. We'll revisit this in a year.
