How to read this

DST and syndication fees come in two layers: an upfront load (selling costs, organization, acquisition markup) that reduces the capital working for you on day one, and ongoing fees that trail the investment every year. Neither is scandalous — sponsors and platforms have to be paid — but both compound, and the difference between a 6% and a 10% all-in load over a seven-year hold is real money. Enter any fee structure above; the tool shows the drag against a no-fee baseline with the same assumptions. All inputs are yours; we prefill nothing from any live offering.
