Summary of Risk Factors / Footnotes

An investment in Starwood Real Estate Income Trust, Inc. involves a high degree of risk. You should purchase these securities only if you can afford the complete loss of your investment. You should carefully read the information set forth in the “Risk Factors” section of the prospectus before buying our shares. Terms used and not defined herein have the same meanings set forth in the prospectus. Risks include, but are not limited to:

  • We have incurred GAAP net losses attributable to stockholders and an accumulated deficit in the past and may incur GAAP net losses attributable to stockholders and continue to have an accumulated deficit in the future. 
  • We have held certain of our current investments for only a limited period of time, and investors 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 provides 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 discretion. In addition, repurchases are subject to available liquidity and other significant restrictions, including monthly and quarterly repurchase limits. Since October 2022, repurchase requests have consistently exceeded the applicable monthly and/or quarterly limits of our share repurchase plan and may continue to do so in the future. Further, our board of directors may modify or suspend our share repurchase plan if it deems such action to be in our best interest and the best interest of our stockholders. As a result, our shares should be considered as having only limited liquidity and at times may be illiquid.
  • 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 assets, borrowings or offering proceeds (including from sales of our common stock or Operating Partnership units to the Special Limited Partner), and 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 based on our prior month’s NAV (subject to material changes as described in the prospectus) and are not based on any public trading market. While there are independent annual appraisals of our properties, the appraisal 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 are dependent on Starwood Capital and its affiliates, including Starwood REIT Advisors, L.L.C. (the “Advisor”), and their key personnel who provide services to us through the Advisory Agreement, and we may not find a suitable replacement for the Advisor if the Advisory Agreement is terminated, or for these key personnel if they leave Starwood Capital or otherwise become unavailable to us.
  • This is a “best efforts” offering. If we are not able to continue to raise a substantial amount of capital on an ongoing basis, our ability to achieve our investment objectives could be adversely affected. 
  • There are limits on the ownership and transferability of our shares. 
  • 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. 
  • The acquisition of properties may be financed in substantial part by debt. 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 real estate assets involves certain risks, including, but not limited to: changes in values caused by global, national, regional or local economic, demographic or capital market conditions, including economic impacts resulting from trade conflict, civil unrest, national and international security events, geopolitical events, military conflicts and war, the performance of the real estate sector, unemployment, stock market volatility, adverse economic conditions as a result of an epidemic, pandemic or other health-related issues; demographic or capital market conditions; operational risks such as cyberattacks; increases in interest rates and lack of availability of financing; changes in government rules, regulations and fiscal policies; vacancies, fluctuations in the average occupancy and room rates for hospitality properties; and bankruptcies, financial difficulties or lease defaults by our tenants. 
  • A change in U.S. tax laws could adversely impact benefits of investing in our shares.
