What Is Non-Traded REIT and How Can It Lead To Losses for Kentucky Investors?
Non-traded real estate investment trusts are regulated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Not listed on any exchange, a non-traded REIT’s price can either be fixed or determined by its net asset value (NAV). Like all real estate investment trusts (REITs), a non-traded REIT is a trust or a company that owns and may even operate income-producing real estate.
Non-traded real estate investment trusts can be sold to retail investors. Meanwhile, private REITs, which are exempt from registration, should only be sold to accredited and experienced investors.
Just because a particular non-traded REIT can be purchased by an investor does not automatically mean it is a suitable investment for them. A lot has to be assessed, including the investor’s risk tolerance level, age, financial goals, investing experience, as well as the makeup of the rest of their portfolio.
All real estate investments generally bring some degree of risk. Even non-traded REITs can be illiquid, complex, and non-transparent. This type of investment can be highly leveraged and it may use investors’ principal or debt when it comes to issuing dividends. Many non-traded REITs end up failing.
Going after the issuer of a non-traded REIT is difficult, and getting back your money from them can be tough, especially if this particular investment vehicle starts to lose money. This is why it is so important that you explore your legal options with one of our skilled Lexington, KY non-traded real estate investment loss attorneys.
Even if your broker had nothing to with a non-traded REITs demise, you still may be able to sue them for damages if they unsuitably recommended this investment to you, did not conduct the proper due diligence, failed to fully apprise you of the risks, made misrepresentations and omissions, or was negligent or fraudulent in some other ways.
Often, non-traded REITs don’t fail overnight and there likely would have been signs along the way to indicate trouble. Your financial advisor should have done a thorough investigation into any investment before marketing and selling it to you. Their broker-dealer should have properly supervised the registered representative and your portfolio.
