0.25% a year, or about $25 per $10,000 invested. The cost is taken from the fund's assets, so you never see it as a separate charge.
Mostly ordinary income, though a portion usually qualifies for the 20% Section 199A deduction. Often held in an IRA.
A long-running REIT fund, though USRT and VNQ do the same job for less. The main risk: rEIT prices are sensitive to interest rates. This is general information, not personal advice.
