FAQS
How can I invest in CNSREIT?
CNSREIT is only sold through select financial professionals and is not offered directly to investors. Please contact your advisor for more information.
How often can I invest?
CNSREIT accepts subscriptions monthly.
When can I redeem my shares?
Monthly, however, there are limitations on the number of repurchases we may make in a given month or quarter, and we may choose to repurchase only some, or even none, of shares submitted for repurchase.
What is CNSREIT’s redemption policy?
Redemption limits are a feature of NTRs designed to protect funds from having to liquidate significant real estate holdings at discounted prices or materially boost leverage in response to high redemption requests. NTRs are intended only for investors with the financial means to hold their investments for relatively long periods of time, including during times of market stress and illiquidity.
CNSREIT’s redemption policy is similar the broader NTR market, with monthly liquidity up to 2% and 5% over one quarter. Like other REITs in the market, CNSREIT has the ability to exceed the monthly and quarterly repurchase limits subject to board approval.
What are CNSREIT’s fees?
For more information, please see our summary of terms or review the prospectus. To determine what share classes are available to you, and the associated fees, please discuss with your advisor.

Unlike some peers who start with their own monthly valuations, CNSREIT begins with a third-party Independent Valuation Advisor’s appraisal for each property monthly. The valuations are then reviewed by Cohen & Steers.
On an annual basis, properties are appraised by a separate third-party appraisal firm. These annual appraisals will then be reviewed by the primary Independent Valuation Advisor, before being reviewed by Cohen & Steers.

Terms summarized herein are for informational purposes and qualified in their entirety by the more detailed information set forth in CNSREIT’s prospectus. You should read the prospectus carefully prior to making an investment. There is no guarantee that any investment objective above will be realized.
Select broker-dealers will have different standards to determine the appropriateness of this investment for each investor. Individual broker-dealers may not offer all share classes and/or may offer CNSREIT at a higher minimum initial investment. With respect to Class T shares, the amounts of upfront selling commissions and dealer manager fees will vary at select broker-dealers, provided that the sum will not exceed 3.5% of the transaction price. The financial advisor and dealer stockholder servicing fee for Class T shares may also vary at select broker-dealers, provided that the sum of such fees will always equal 0.85% per annum of the aggregate NAV of such shares. Broker-dealers may also charge additional fees for certain accounts, such as wrap accounts.
1. We may register additional shares in the future.
2. We may offer shares at a price that we believe reflects the NAV per share of such stock more appropriately than the prior month’s NAV per share, including by updating a previously disclosed offering price, in cases where we believe there has been a material change (positive or negative) to our NAV per share since the end of the prior month. For further information, please refer to the “Net Asset Value Calculation and Valuation Guidelines” in the prospectus, which describe our valuation process and the independent third parties who assist us.
3. Select broker-dealers may have different standards to determine the appropriateness of this investment for each investor, may not offer all share classes, and/or may offer CNSREIT at a different minimum initial investment. The minimum initial investment for Class T, Class S, Class D, Class F-T, Class F-S or Class F-D common stock is $2,500. The minimum initial investment for Class I and shares of our Class F-I common stock is $1,000,000, unless waived by the dealer manager.
4. During the twenty-four-month period beginning on the date of the commencement of the offering (the “initial founder shares offering period”), the Class F-S shares, Class F-D shares Class F-T shares and Class F-I shares (collectively, the “founder shares”) will be offered to all investors in this offering, subject to the minimum investment requirement for each founder shares class as described herein. Following the initial founder shares offering period, the founder shares will be offered only to investors that held, or clients of a financial intermediary that in the aggregate held, at least $150,000,000 in founder shares as of the end of initial founder shares offering period (the “minimum founder shares holding requirement”), unless such minimum founder shares holding requirement is waived by the Dealer Manager. The minimum founder shares holding requirement does not apply to purchases made by holders of founder shares under our distribution reinvestment plan. We reserve the right to extend the initial founder shares offering period in our sole discretion.

Offering Terms and Fees
Terms summarized herein are for informational purposes and qualified in their entirety by the more detailed information set forth in CNSREIT’s prospectus. You should read the prospectus carefully prior to making an investment.
Tax Information
This content should not be relied upon or considered as tax advice. Investors should consult their own tax advisors in order to understand any applicable tax consequences of an investment. Prospective investors should note that the tax treatment of each investor, and of any investment, depends on individual circumstances and may be subject to change in the future.
Risk Factors
Cohen & Steers Income Opportunities REIT, Inc. (“CNSREIT”) is a newly organized corporation formed to invest primarily in high quality, income-focused, stabilized assets within the United States. This investment involves a high degree of risk. You should purchase these securities only if you can afford the complete loss of your investment. You should read the prospectus carefully for a description of the risks associated with an investment in CNSREIT. These risks include, but are not limited to, the following:
- We have a limited operating history, and there is no assurance that we will achieve our investment objectives.
- Because this is a “blind pool” offering, you will not have the opportunity to evaluate our future investments before we make them.
- Since there is no public trading market for shares of our common stock, repurchase of shares by us will likely be the only way to dispose of your shares. Our share repurchase plan will provide stockholders with the opportunity to request that we repurchase their shares on a monthly basis, but we are not obligated to repurchase any shares and may choose to repurchase only some, or even none, of the shares that have been requested to be repurchased in any particular month in our sole discretion. In addition, repurchases will be subject to available liquidity and other significant restrictions. Further, our board of directors may make exceptions to, modify or suspend our share repurchase plan if, in its reasonable judgment, it deems such action to be in our best interest and the best interest of our stockholders, such as when repurchase requests would place an undue burden on our liquidity, adversely affect our operations or risk having an adverse impact on us that would outweigh the benefit of repurchasing our shares. Our board of directors cannot terminate our share repurchase plan absent a liquidity event that results in our stockholders receiving cash or securities listed on a national securities exchange or where otherwise required by law. As a result, our shares should be considered as having only limited liquidity and at times may be illiquid.
- We are a perpetual-life REIT. While we may consider a liquidity event at any time in the future, we are not obligated by our charter or otherwise to effect a liquidity event at any time.
- We cannot guarantee that we will make distributions, and, if we do, we may fund such distributions from sources other than cash flow from operations, including, without limitation, the sale of or repayments under our assets, borrowings, return of capital or offering proceeds (including from sales of our common stock or Operating Partnership units to the Special Limited Partner (each term as defined in the prospectus), and distributions may also be funded at least in part, indirectly, due to expenses paid on our behalf by the Advisor pursuant to the Expense Limitation and Reimbursement Agreement, which may be subject to reimbursement to the Advisor, and other temporary waivers or expense reimbursements to the Advisor or its affiliates, that may be subject to reimbursement to the Advisor or its affiliates. We have no limits on the amounts we may pay from such sources.
- The purchase and repurchase price for shares of our common stock are generally be based on our prior month’s net asset value (“NAV“) and are not based on any public trading market. While there will be independent valuations of our properties from time to time, the valuation of properties is inherently subjective and our NAV may not accurately reflect the actual price at which our properties could be liquidated on any given day.
- We have no employees and are dependent on the Cohen & Steers Capital Management, Inc. (the “Adviser”) to conduct our operations. The Adviser will face conflicts of interest as a result of, among other things, the allocation of investment opportunities among us and other Cohen & Steers Accounts (as defined in CNSREIT’s prospectus), the allocation of time of its investment professionals and the fees that we will pay to the Adviser.
- Principal and interest payments on any borrowings will reduce the amount of funds available for distribution or investment in additional real estate assets.
- There are limits on the ownership and transferability of our shares.
- This is a “best efforts” offering. If we are not able to raise a substantial amount of capital in the near term, our ability to achieve our investment objectives could be adversely affected.
- If we fail to qualify as a REIT and no relief provisions apply, our NAV and cash available for distribution to our stockholders could materially decrease.
- While our investment strategy is to invest in income-focused stabilized private real estate with a focus on providing current income to investors, there is no guarantee that we will achieve this strategy and an investment in us is not an investment in a fixed income instrument.
- The acquisition of investment properties may be financed in substantial part by borrowing, which increases our exposure to loss. The use of leverage involves a high degree of financial risk and will increase the exposure of the investments to adverse economic factors.
- Investing in commercial and other private real estate assets involves certain risks, including but not limited to: tenants’ inability to pay rent; increases in interest rates and lack of availability of financing; tenant turnover and vacancies; and changes in supply of or demand for similar properties in a given market.
- Substantial risks are involved in investing in real estate and real estate-related securities more generally. An unstable geopolitical climate and central bank policies could have a material adverse effect on general economic conditions, market conditions and liquidity. Additionally, a serious pandemic or natural disaster could severely disrupt global, national and/or regional economies, as experienced most recently after the March 2020 outbreak of COVID-19. Renewed outbreaks or the outbreak of new epidemics could result in health or other government authorities requiring the closure of offices or other businesses, including office buildings, retail stores and other commercial venues and could also result in a general economic decline.
