Important Real Estate Risks

Real Estate Risk. Real estate investments are subject to various risk factors.

Important Self-Storage Risks

The risk of investing in the self-storage market. The success of self-storage depends, in part, on conditions in the self-storage market. The rental of self-storage space is highly competitive. Self-storage properties could be adversely affected by competitive properties in the real estate market, which could affect the operations and ultimate value. Self-storage operators must retain current tenants at favorable rates, attract quality tenants, and provide an attractive and convenient environment. There is significant competition among self-storage owners and operators and other self-storage alternatives which could have an effect on occupancy levels, rental rates, and other operating expenses.

Realizing Opportunities in a Changing Credit Landscape

As the Fed raised rates in 2022, market fluctuations prompted traditional lenders to step back. Amid this credit tightening, lenders' risk appetite dwindled, reducing capital flows and creating favorable conditions for new credit providers to explore opportunities in distressed debt, undervalued securities, and mispriced assets. Higher interest rates and the resulting increase in borrowing costs have also fueled returns in spread-related investments such as merger arbitrage.

NexPoint Real Estate Finance, Inc. (NYSE:NREF)

1.  Payment of dividends is not guaranteed. Dividends may be paid from sources other than cash flow from operations. We may have to fund distributions from working capital, borrow to provide funds for such distributions, use proceeds of future offerings or sell assets to the extent distributions exceed earnings or cash flows from operations. Funding distributions from working capital would restrict our operations. If we are required to sell assets to fund dividends, such asset sales may occur at a time or in a manner that is not consistent with our disposition strategy. If we borrow to fund dividends, our leverage ratios and future interest costs would increase, thereby reducing our earnings and cash available for distribution from what they otherwise would have been. We may not be able to pay dividends in the future.
2. Holder redemptions may begin on the first day of the month following initial issuance. Redemption pricing starts on the first day of the month following the applicable hold period. The Stockholder Redemption feature is subject to certain limits on the amount that may be redeemed in a given period, the Company’s listing or trading on the NYSE or another national securities exchange, whether the Company has sufficient funds, possible restrictions under Maryland law or any agreements that the Company may enter into which would result in a default under the agreement and the number of the shares held by the investor after the redemption.

Important Life Science Risks

Life Science Risk. Factors impacting the Life Science market. The success of life science depends, in part, on conditions in the life science market. The life science market consists of the fields of pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, biomedical technologies, nutraceuticals, cosmeceuticals, and others. Investment strategies are premised on assumptions about occupancy levels, rental rates, interest rates and other factors, and if those assumptions prove to be inaccurate, cash flows and profitability will be reduced. Recent strengthening of the U.S. economy and job growth, coupled with government programs, and interest has been driven in part by the COVID-19 pandemic, as the sector exponentially grew due to activity around vaccine development. Lab science risks differ from typical office construction, as they have very specialized infrastructure requirements. This includes the need to have space for chemicals and chemical storage, clean room spaces, special ventilation and fireproofing systems, extra power and emergency generators, among other requirements.

DSTs are not suitable for all investors, and are speculative, illiquid, and involve a high degree of risk, including the possible complete loss of your investment.
