Key Takeways:
At Wahed, transparency is at the heart of how we operate. We want all our investors to feel confident about where their money is going. That’s why we’ve outlined all the costs and fees associated with our real estate investments in this guide, as clearly and simply as possible.
This guide explains the different types of costs that make up each property offering and how these expenses influence the calculation of rental income and overall property performance.
All real estate investments are held through a Series Limited Liability Company (LLC) structure, where each property functions as its own Series under the Master Wahed Real Estate LLC. This ensures that income and expenses for each property are ring-fenced and managed independently.
What Makes Up Your Total Investment
When you invest through Wahed Real Estate, you purchase shares in a Series LLC that owns the property. Your investment amount covers the property’s purchase price plus the one-time costs of legally acquiring, structuring and preparing it for investors.
These costs ensure every property is professionally sourced, reviewed and structured in line with SEC Regulation A requirements.
Upfront Property Setup and Transaction Costs
These are one-time expenses incurred when a property is acquired and structured under its Series LLC.
They’re included within the total funding amount and you don’t pay them separately.
These costs cover the full cycle of property preparation from sourcing and due diligence to ready-for-rental status.
Note: The percentages shown above represent average estimates. Actual fees and costs may vary depending on, but are not limited to, specific property, market conditions, and transaction structure.
Ongoing Property and Management Costs During the Holding Period
Once the property is operational, routine costs are deducted from rental income before any distributions are made to investors. This ensures the property remains maintained and compliant throughout its holding period.

Wahed Fee
Wahed charges an ongoing 1% annual management fee at the Series level. This fee is built into the property’s financial structure and considered when calculating income and expenses. Investors do not pay this separately.
This fee enables us to:
- Series LLC setup and structure: Formation and maintenance of the entity that owns the property.
- Internal legal reviews: In-house oversight of contracts for added investor protection.
- Due diligence and research: Market, valuation and rental analysis for each property.
- Regulatory compliance: SEC Reg A filings, KYC/AML and broker-dealer coordination.
- Shariah governance oversight: Ongoing review by Wahed’s internal Shariah team and Supervisory Board.
- Legal and administrative support: Investor communications and reporting for each Series.
- Post-investment tracking: Monitoring leases, income and distributions.
- Technology and platform management: Continuous maintenance and improvements to the Wahed platform.

How Operational Costs Affect Your Income
When evaluating a property investment, it’s helpful to understand how operational expenses influence the income you may receive.
Each property generates rental income, which is used to pay ongoing expenses such as management, maintenance, taxes and insurance. What remains after these costs is the property’s net rental income - the amount distributed to investors.
This figure is an important indicator of cash flow, but it is not the total return from the investment. Investors may also benefit from capital appreciation if the property’s value increases and it is sold at a higher price.
We don’t publish performance projections as per the regulatory guidelines. Total investment returns, which include both rental income and potential capital appreciation, will vary by property and market environment.
The goal is to maintain income-generating assets where operational costs are managed carefully to protect investor returns.

Yes. All structures and fees are reviewed by Wahed’s internal Shariah team under the supervision of its Shariah Supervisory Board.

All costs are managed within the Series LLC that owns the property. Investors are not required to handle bills directly.
Why Costs May Vary
Expenses can differ between properties based on:
- Location: State and county tax rates and insurance premiums.
- Market conditions: Fluctuations in maintenance and management rates.
- Property type and age: Older properties may require more maintenance.
- Lease profile: Short-term or furnished units may have higher operating costs.
All expected expenses are reviewed internally and clearly outlined within each property’s offering circular before launch.
In Summary
Every cost within a Wahed Real Estate investment serves a clear purpose, from sourcing and legal setup to management, oversight and reporting. All fees are disclosed before you invest and are factored into the property’s financial framework used to calculate income and expenses.
You will never be charged unexpected or undisclosed fees. Understanding how each expense supports the investment process helps you make well-informed decisions about your portfolio.
