Key Takeways:
Once you invest in a Wahed Real Estate property, you’ll potentially begin earning rental income on a quarterly basis, and directly into your bank account.
Many of our properties are already tenanted or come with a one-year rental income guarantee, so income usually begins soon after acquisition.
When does rental income start?
Rental income begins after the property you invested in has been:
- Fully acquired (i.e. the raise has closed and legal transfer completed), and
- Tenanted, meaning it has an active rental agreement in place.
Most of our properties are either already tenanted or come with a one-year rental income guarantee, helping you begin earning shortly after acquisition.
How is rental income calculated?
Your share of rental income is calculated after property related expenses are deducted from gross rent collected.
These deductions typically include:
- Service charges (for leasehold properties)
- Property management fees (~6-10% of monthly rent)
- Maintenance reserve (~3-5% of monthly rent)
- And more (please read through the investment memo for any given deal to see full list of costs)
After these expenses, the net rental income is distributed in proportion to your investment amount in the property.
How and when will I receive it?
We process and disburse rental income every quarter, on the 15th of the following month (e.g. for Q1 of 2025, these were paid out on 15th of April, 2025). These are sent directly to the same bank account you used when making your investment.
There’s no need to withdraw funds manually. Once processed, the income is transferred automatically to your bank account.
You’ll receive this income for as long as the property is tenanted and your investment is active.
The rental income is directly to your designated bank account. Soon, you'll also be able to track it in-app.
We send you an email notification each time a disbursement is made.
While some properties include a one-year rental income guarantee, most income depends on tenancy. We always share key details during the deal listing.

What if there’s a delay or vacancy?
While many of our properties are income-generating or come with a rental guarantee, delays can happen. Like all investments, property investments do carry some risks:
- Slight delay in property acquisition
- A new tenant may need to be onboarded
- There may be short vacancies or lease transitions
We take measures to avoid these scenarios as much as possible. But if they do arise, our team will proactively update you via email. We’re committed to transparency and will always keep you informed about any interruptions or expected timelines.

What happens during and after your investment
Your rental income is potentially credited directly to your bank account every quarter for as long as the property is tenanted and your investment is active.
At the end of the investment term, the property is sold and your share of the final sale proceeds is distributed after the transaction related costs and fees. This is separate from the rental income and is based on your ownership in the SPV. Once that’s done, the investment is fully closed.
From acquisition to exit, we handle the details so you can focus on building your portfolio with peace of mind.
