 On the other hand, **variable costs** fluctuate based on the REIT’s activities, property portfolio, and market conditions. These include **property operating expenses, property management fees, asset management fees, and impairment costs**. For instance, **property management fees** and **operating expenses** increase as more properties are acquired or if maintenance costs rise. Similarly, **gain (or loss) on the sale of real estate** depends on market conditions and property transactions, making it unpredictable.

 On the other hand, **less essential costs** may still be important but are not as critical to the REIT’s core operations. These include **certain consulting fees, asset management fees, and discretionary expenses related to corporate strategy or growth initiatives**. While they may contribute to efficiency and expansion, the company can adjust or reduce them if necessary without immediately affecting its core operations.

 ### One-Time vs. Recurring Costs
 
 Some costs are **one-time expenses**, meaning they occur occasionally rather than on an ongoing basis. Examples include **impairment costs (when a property loses value), legal fees related to major transactions, and costs associated with acquiring or selling real estate**. Additionally, **gains (or losses) on the sale of properties** are transaction-based and do not happen regularly. These expenses typically depend on strategic decisions, market conditions, or external events.

 Other costs are **recurring**, meaning they occur regularly as part of the REIT’s ongoing operations. These include **property operating expenses, property management fees, asset management fees, employee salaries and benefits, board compensation, insurance, and routine legal, audit, and tax expenses**. These costs ensure that the REIT continues operating efficiently and generating income over time.
