Private REITs differ from public REITs in several ways, including:
Accessibility
Public REITs are listed on stock exchanges, making them more accessible to investors. Private REITs are typically only available to accredited investors and are offered through private placements.
Liquidity
Public REITs have higher liquidity because their market prices are readily available. Private REITs have lower liquidity because there is no secondary market for shares.
Regulation
Public REITs are subject to more regulatory oversight than private REITs. Private REITs are not required to register with the SEC and are not subject to the same reporting requirements.
Volatility
Public REITs are more volatile and can be influenced by broader economic conditions and investor sentiment. Private REITs are generally insulated from short-term fluctuations and volatility.
Fees
Private REITs may have higher commission costs. Public REITs may have no investment fees.
Dividend reinvestment
With public REITs, you can set up a dividend reinvestment plan (DRIP) to reinvest your dividends in the same stock immediately. With private REITs, you can’t return your distributions to the underlying project.
Information
There is usually little-to-no information about private REITs that is made available to the general public.
