Risk factors and legal proceedings

The risks Blackstone Real Estate Income Trust, Inc. names in Item 1A of its 10-K filed Feb 27, 2026: 78 risks under these headings, as written.8

  • Risks Related to Our Organizational Structure
  • We have held most of our current investments for only a limited period of time and you will not have the opportunity to evaluate our future investments before we make them, which makes your investment more speculative.
  • We disclose funds from operations (“FFO”), adjusted funds from operations (“AFFO”), and funds available for distribution (“FAD”), each a non-U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Policies (“GAAP”) financial measure, in communications with investors, including documents filed with the SEC. However, these measures are not equivalent to our net income or loss as determined under GAAP, and do not represent a complete measure of our financial position and results of operations.
  • We have incurred net losses under GAAP in the past and may incur net losses in the future, and we have an accumulated deficit and may continue to have an accumulated deficit in the future.
  • The Adviser manages our portfolio pursuant to very broad investment guidelines and generally is not required to seek the approval of our board of directors for each investment, financing or asset allocation decision made by it, which may result in our making riskier investments and which could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
  • There is currently no public trading market for shares of our common stock; therefore, your ability to dispose of your shares will likely be limited to repurchase by us. If you do sell your shares to us, you may receive less than the price you paid.
  • Economic events that may cause our stockholders to request that we repurchase their shares may materially adversely affect our cash flow and our results of operations and financial condition.
  • We face risks associated with the deployment of our capital.
  • If we are unable to successfully integrate new investments and manage our growth, our results of operations and financial condition may suffer.
  • The amount and source of distributions we may make to our stockholders is uncertain, and we may be unable to generate sufficient cash flows from our operations to make distributions to our stockholders at any time in the future.
  • We may pay distributions from sources other than our cash flow from operations, including, without limitation, borrowings, the sale of our assets, repayments of our real estate debt investments, return of capital or offering proceeds, and advances or the deferral of fees and expenses, and we have no limits on the amounts we may fund from such sources.
  • Payments to the Adviser or the Special Limited Partner in the form of common stock or Operating Partnership units they elect to receive in lieu of fees or distributions will dilute future cash available for distribution to our stockholders.
The other 67 risks
  • Purchases and repurchases of shares of our common stock are not made based on the current NAV per share of our common stock.
  • Valuations and appraisals of our real estate and real estate debt are estimates of fair value and may not necessarily correspond to realizable value.
  • Our NAV per share amounts may change materially if the appraised values of our properties materially change from prior appraisals or the actual operating results for a particular month differ from what we originally budgeted for that month.
  • It may be difficult to reflect, fully and accurately, material events that may impact our monthly NAV.
  • NAV calculations are not governed by governmental or independent securities, financial or accounting rules or standards.
  • Our board of directors may, in the future, adopt certain measures under Maryland law without stockholder approval that may have the effect of making it less likely that a stockholder would receive a “control premium” for his or her shares.
  • Our charter permits our board of directors to authorize us to issue preferred stock on terms that may subordinate the rights of the holders of our current common stock or discourage a third party from acquiring us.
  • Maryland law limits, in some cases, the ability of a third party to vote shares acquired in a “control share acquisition.”
  • Maryland law and our organizational documents limit our rights and the rights of our stockholders to recover claims against our directors and officers, which could reduce your and our recovery against them if they cause us to incur losses.
  • Maryland law limits our stockholders’ ability to amend our charter or dissolve us without the approval of our board of directors.
  • Your interest in us will be diluted if we issue additional shares. Your interest in our assets will also be diluted if the Operating Partnership issues additional units.
  • We are not required to comply with certain reporting requirements, including those relating to auditor’s attestation reports on the effectiveness of our system of internal control over financial reporting, accounting standards and disclosure about our executive compensation, that apply to other public companies.
  • Our UPREIT structure may result in potential conflicts of interest with limited partners in our Operating Partnership whose interests may not be aligned with those of our stockholders.
  • Your investment return may be reduced if we are required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act.
  • We depend on the Adviser and its affiliates to develop appropriate systems and procedures to control operational risk.
  • Cybersecurity risks and data protection could result in the loss of data, interruptions in our business and damage to our reputation, and subject us to regulatory actions, increased costs and financial losses, each of which could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
  • We may experience risk related to the use of artificial intelligence.
  • We may experience risks related to the use of social media and publicity platforms.
  • We may experience risks related to developing global data security and privacy laws.
  • Compliance with the SEC’s Regulation Best Interest by participating broker-dealers may negatively impact our ability to raise capital in the Current Offering, which could harm our ability to achieve our investment objectives.
  • The DST Program could subject us to liabilities from litigation or otherwise.
  • The DST Program will not shield us from risks related to the performance of the DST Properties held through such structures.
  • We own beneficial interests in trusts owning DST Properties that will be subject to the agreements under our DST Program, which may have an adverse effect on our results of operations, relative to if the DST Program agreements did not exist.
  • Certain tax considerations may impact our ability to generate cash that could be used for other purposes if DST Properties reacquired by the Operating Partnership are subsequently sold.
  • Cash payments to redeem Operating Partnership units will reduce cash available for distribution to our stockholders or to honor their repurchase requests under our share repurchase program.
  • Certain funds and accounts may invest in us and may at times have substantial investments in us.
  • Risks Related to Investments in Real Estate
  • Our operating results will be affected by risks inherent in the ownership and operation of real estate and real estate-related businesses and assets.
  • Our success is dependent on general market and economic conditions.
  • We face risks associated with epidemics and pandemics.
  • The commercial real estate markets in which we operate are also affected by a number of specific conditions and the performance of the local real estate markets.
  • Trade negotiations and related government actions may create regulatory uncertainty for us and our tenants and adversely affect the profitability of investments.
  • We are subject to the requirements of the U.S. Outbound Investment Security Program.
  • We may be involved in disputes over ownership of land.
  • Elevated inflation may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
  • We face risks related to certain developments in the banking sector.
  • Financial regulatory changes in the United States could adversely affect our business.
  • We, the Adviser, the Dealer Manager and respective affiliates are subject to regulatory oversight, which could negatively impact our operations, cash flow or financial condition, impose additional costs on us or otherwise adversely affect our business.
  • We are subject to additional risks from our non-U.S. investments.
  • Our portfolio is currently concentrated in certain industries and geographies and may in the future be concentrated in a limited number of industries, geographies or investments.
  • We may change our investment and operational policies without stockholder consent.
  • We may have difficulty selling our properties, which may limit our flexibility and ability to pay distributions.
  • We face risks associated with property acquisitions.
  • We face risks associated with privatization of state-owned assets.
  • The sale and disposition of real properties carry certain litigation risks at the property level that may reduce our profitability and the return on your investment.
  • Competition for investment opportunities may reduce our profitability and the return on your investment.
  • We may make a substantial amount of joint venture investments, including with Blackstone affiliates. Joint venture investments could be adversely affected by our lack of sole decision-making authority, our reliance on the financial condition of our joint venture partners and disputes between us and our joint venture partners.
  • Acquiring or attempting to acquire multiple properties in a single transaction may adversely affect our operations.
  • In the event we obtain options to acquire properties, we may lose the amount paid for such options whether or not the underlying property is purchased.
  • The due diligence process that the Adviser undertakes in regard to investment opportunities may not reveal all facts that may be relevant in connection with an investment, and if the Adviser incorrectly evaluates the risks of our investments, we may experience losses.
  • There can be no assurance that the Adviser will be able to detect or prevent irregular accounting, employee misconduct or other fraudulent practices during the due diligence investigation or during its efforts to monitor the investment on an ongoing basis or that any risk management procedures implemented by the Adviser will be adequate.
  • We may be subject to expenses and liabilities related to employees of certain portfolio entities owned by us.
  • We rely on property managers to operate our properties and leasing agents to lease vacancies in our properties.
  • We depend on tenants for our revenue, and therefore our revenue is dependent on the success and economic viability of our tenants. Our reliance on single or significant tenants in certain buildings may decrease our ability to lease vacated space and could adversely affect our income, performance, operations and ability to pay distributions.
  • We may be unable to renew leases as leases expire and our leases may be terminated early.
  • Investments in retail assets subjects us to particular economic and operating risks.
  • Our properties face significant competition.
  • Our properties may be leased at below-market rates under long-term leases.
  • We face risks associated with leasing real estate.
  • We may experience material losses or damage related to our properties and such losses may not be covered by insurance.
  • We could become subject to liability for environmental violations, regardless of whether we caused such violations.
  • Our costs associated with complying with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (the “ADA”) may affect cash available for distributions.
  • Our properties are, and any properties we acquire in the future will be, subject to property taxes that may increase in the future, which could adversely affect our cash flow.
  • Certain of our investments are in the form of ground leases, which provide limited rights to the underlying property.
  • Certain of our industrial properties may be special use and/or build-to-suit and may be difficult to sell or re-let upon tenant defaults or lease terminations.
  • Certain properties may require an expedited transaction, which may result in limited information being available about the property prior to its acquisition.
  • We face risks in effecting operating improvements.
  • Many factors affect the single-family rental housing market, and we may be negatively affected by our assumptions surrounding and general conditions of the single-family rental housing market.

From time to time, we may be involved in various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. As of December 31, 2025, we were not involved in any material legal proceedings.
