Concerned about your investment in NP Fairway Investor Units LLC?
The White Law Group is investigating the liability that FINRA registered brokerage firms may have for improperly recommending NP Fairway Investor Units LLC to investors.
In 2018, Nelson Partners Student Housing LLC, a private placement 1031 exchange sponsor, acquired The Fairway, a 298-bed student housing community located near Purdue University in West Lafayette.
The company reportedly filed a form D for the offering NP Fairway Investor Units LLC, to raise capital from investors in 2020, according to a filing with the SEC. The total offering amount was purportedly $7,102,000.
The White Law Group has represented a number of investors over the last few years who were invested in illiquid tenants in common (TIC) investments. Unfortunately, unscrupulous financial advisors will push these products to maximize their own commissions. The firm is investigating the liability that FINRA registered brokerage firms may have for improperly recommending high-risk tenants-in-common to investors.
What is a TIC Investment?
A TIC investment is defined as a property that is sold to multiple investors who then own fractional interests in the property as co-owners. The co-owners enjoy their share of the “pro rata” share of the net income or expenses, appreciation, and share of the proceeds at the sale of the property.
Tenants in common investors are typically not involved in the day to day management of the property but do retain certain other rights regarding the management of the property.
NP Fairway Investor Units: Suitable for you?
It’s important to understand the potential risks, costs, and advantages of a TIC, such as NP Fairway Investor Units LLC, before investing. Generally offered as a 1031 exchange tax deferral, financial professionals often misrepresent the risks and benefits of these investments.
These investments are often marketed to conservative and retired investors. TIC investments also typically pay a high commission, sometimes more than 10%, which may explain why a financial advisor may recommend them to their clients. They are also illiquid, which means you may not be able to cash out if you need to.
Your financial advisor should ensure that any investment that they recommend is suitable for their clients. Liquidity needs, time horizon, risk tolerance, age, income, are just a few categories an advisor should take into account prior to recommending any investment. The brokerage firm must ensure that due diligence was completed at every level of each investment.
Firms that fail to do so, may be held responsible for any losses in a FINRA arbitration claim.
