According to Memphis Business Journal, Virtus Real Estate Capital takes in investor capital and uses it for commercial real estate, focusing on assets that it believes are recession-proof. Its four core assets for investments are self-storage, student housing, senior housing and medical office properties.

According to SEC filings, Virtus Real Estate Capital sponsored Blackhawk Self Storage LP located in Austin, Texas. The company  raised capital in 2009, through a Form D private placement.

The Trouble with Private Placement Investments

The trouble with alternative investment products, such as Blackhawk Self Storage LP, is that they involve a high degree of risk and are typically sold as unregistered securities which lack the same regulatory oversight as more traditional investment products like stocks and bonds.

Broker dealers that sell alternative investments are required to perform adequate due diligence on all investment recommendations to ensure that each investment is suitable for the investor in light of the investor’s age, risk tolerance, net worth, financial needs, and investment experience.

However, another unfortunate by product of Reg D private placements is that the high sales commission brokers earn for selling such products may provide some brokers with enough incentive to push the product to unsuspecting investors who do not fully understand the risks of these types of products.

If a broker or brokerage firm makes an unsuitable investment recommendation or fails to adequately disclose the risks associated with an investment they may be liable for investment losses.
