Florida Multifamily Portfolio DST: Investigating Potential Claims  

Florida Multifamily Portfolio DST – 1031 DST Investment 

Are you concerned about your investment in Florida Multifamily Portfolio DST? If so, the securities attorneys at The White Law Group may be able to help you by filing a FINRA Arbitration claim against the brokerage firm that sold you the investment.  

Delaware Statutory Trusts, or DSTs, are an alternative for 1031 exchange investors seeking replacement properties, allegedly offering the potential for monthly income and diversification without any on-going landlord duties.  

According to its website, Inland Private Capital Corporation reportedly offers replacement properties for Section 1031 exchange transactions, as well as other real estate investments.     

Inland Private Capital Corp. filed a form D in 2018 to raise capital from investors for the offering, Florida Multifamily Portfolio DST, according to a filing with the SEC. The total offering amount sold was purportedly $36,438,160, with sales commissions and fees estimated at 10% of the offering amount. 

Risk Factors – 1031 Exchange – Florida Multifamily Portfolio DST

Property Value Loss – All real estate investments have the potential to lose value over time.  

Possibility of Foreclosure – All financed real estate investments have potential for foreclosure.  

Illiquid Investments – 1031 exchanges are commonly offered through private placement offerings and are illiquid securities. There is no secondary market for these investments.  

Reduction or Elimination of Monthly Cash Flow Distributions – Like any investment in real estate, if a property unexpectedly loses tenants or sustains substantial damage, there is potential for suspension of cash flow distributions.  

Tax Status Changes – The income stream and depreciation schedule for any investment property may affect the property owner’s income bracket and/or tax status. An unfavorable tax ruling may cancel deferral of capital gains and result in immediate tax liabilities.  

Fees/Expenses – Investors’ returns may be affected by the costs associated with the transaction. and may outweigh the tax benefits.  

Potential Lawsuits to Recover Losses 

The White Law Group is investigating the liability that FINRA registered brokerage firms may have for improperly recommending high-risk investments to investors.  

Despite the risks of investing in 1031 DSTs, brokerage firms continue to push this type of investment because of the high commissions associated with their sale and creation.  

Fortunately, FINRA does provide for an arbitration forum for investors to resolve disputes if a broker or brokerage firm makes an unsuitable investment recommendation or fails to adequately disclose the risks associated with an investment. It is possible that they could be found liable for investment losses in a FINRA arbitration claim.
