Risks to Investors
-
Illiquidity & Lock-Up Periods — DST investments are notoriously hard to exit.
-
Opaque Reporting — Limited SEC disclosure relative to public investments.
-
High Commissions — Significant fees can substantially erode investment returns and incentivize unsuitable recommendations.
-
Operational Risks — Financial pressure from decreased occupancy, labor costs, and rising overhead may impact distributions.

Misplaced Trust — Advisors may have recommended these without proper due diligence or risk disclosure.
Legal and Recovery Options
Regulation Best Interest & Broker Obligations
Under Regulation Best Interest, broker-dealers must perform appropriate due diligence, fully disclose conflicts and fees, and ensure investment suitability—for YOUR profile. Failure to do so may make them liable for resulting losses.
FINRA Arbitration vs. Class Action
-
For substantial losses (e.g., > $100,000), individual FINRA arbitration claims are often the most effective method for pursuing compensation.

A class action may be better suited for smaller, widespread claims where individual pursuit isn’t practical.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. What is a Delaware Statutory Trust (DST) investment, and why is Inspired Senior Living of Athens DST considered risky?
A DST is a private real estate investment vehicle that pools funds from accredited investors to purchase properties. While DSTs offer tax advantages, they are typically illiquid, have long holding periods, and limited transparency compared to public investments. Inspired Senior Living of Athens DST is risky due to its concentration in senior housing, recent operational disruptions, SEC regulatory review, and high commissions paid to brokers, all of which can negatively impact investor returns.
2. What should investors do if they were recommended Inspired Senior Living of Athens DST and suffered losses?
Investors who believe their financial advisor failed to properly disclose risks, conducted inadequate due diligence, or recommended an unsuitable investment may have grounds for a FINRA arbitration claim. Consulting an experienced securities attorney promptly is crucial to evaluate potential claims and begin the recovery process.
3. What is the difference between pursuing a class action lawsuit and an individual FINRA arbitration claim for investment losses?
Class actions group many investors with smaller losses to collectively seek compensation, while individual FINRA arbitration claims allow investors with significant losses to pursue recovery directly against their broker or firm. Typically, arbitration is faster and more effective for investors with larger individual claims, whereas class actions suit smaller, widespread claims.
