PIMCO Flexible Real Estate Income Fund
650 Newport Center Drive
Newport Beach, California 92660
Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel for PIMCO Flexible Real Estate Income Fund (the Fund), a trust duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the State of Delaware, in connection with Post-Effective Amendment No. 20 to the Funds Registration Statement on Form N-2 (the Registration Statement) relating to the issuance and sale by the Fund of an indefinite number of authorized shares of beneficial interest under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the 1933 Act), and under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. We have examined such governmental and corporate certificates and records as we deemed necessary to render this opinion and we are familiar with the Funds Declaration of Trust and its By-Laws.
Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the shares of beneficial interest of the Funds series proposed to be sold pursuant to the Registration Statement, when paid for as contemplated in the Registration Statement, will be legally and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement, to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and to the use of our name in the Funds Registration Statement to be dated on or about February 20, 2025 and in any revised or amended versions thereof. In giving such consent, however, we do not admit that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required by Section 7 of the 1933 Act and the rules and regulations thereunder.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Dechert LLP
