Caliber Hospitality Trust, Inc.: Investor Lawsuit Investigation
The White Law Group is investigating potential investor losses involving Caliber Hospitality Trust, Inc., a private real estate investment affiliated with CaliberCos Inc. We have reason to believe that some investors may have suffered losses after this investment was recommended by brokerage firms and financial advisors.
Caliber Hospitality Trust, Inc. has been marketed as a real estate investment focused on hospitality assets, including hotels and related properties. Like many Regulation D private placements, these investments may carry significant risks that are not always fully disclosed to investors at the time of sale.
If you invested in Caliber Hospitality Trust, Inc. and are experiencing losses, you may have legal recovery options.
What Is Caliber Hospitality Trust, Inc.?
Caliber Hospitality Trust, Inc. is a private real estate investment sponsored by CaliberCos Inc., a Scottsdale, Arizona-based real estate firm. The investment was offered through Regulation D private placement exemptions, meaning it was not registered with the SEC and was sold primarily through brokerage firms and financial advisors.
Hospitality-focused private placements are often marketed as income-producing alternatives to traditional investments. However, these investments can be especially vulnerable to economic downturns, operational disruptions, and liquidity constraints.
Because the offering is not publicly traded, investors typically have limited visibility into the fund’s financial performance and limited ability to exit the investment.
Risks of Reg D Hospitality Private Placements
Private placement investments often involve risks that may not be suitable for many retail investors, including:
-
Illiquidity: Investors may be unable to sell or redeem shares for an indefinite period of time.
-
Limited Transparency: Private funds are subject to fewer reporting requirements than publicly traded securities.
-
Economic Sensitivity: Hospitality assets are highly sensitive to changes in travel demand, interest rates, and operating costs.
-
High Fees and Commissions: Brokers may receive substantial upfront commissions—sometimes approaching 10%—creating conflicts of interest.
-
Distribution Risk: Any projected income or distributions are not guaranteed and may be reduced or suspended entirely.
When these risks are not properly explained, investors may be left holding investments that do not align with their financial goals or risk tolerance.
Was Caliber Hospitality Trust, Inc. Suitable for You?
Under Regulation Best Interest (Reg BI) and FINRA rules, broker-dealers are required to perform reasonable due diligence and ensure that any recommended investment is suitable for the client’s financial situation, investment objectives, and risk tolerance.
The White Law Group is investigating whether the offering was:
-
Unsuitably recommended to conservative or income-focused investors
-
Sold without adequate disclosure of liquidity risks
-
Recommended without proper due diligence into the fund’s financial condition
-
Concentrated excessively within investor portfolios
If your financial advisor failed to meet these obligations, the brokerage firm may be liable for your investment losses.

Caliber Hospitality Trust, Inc. is a Regulation D private placement, which generally carries higher risk than publicly traded investments.

3. How do I know if my advisor improperly recommended the investment?
You may have a potential claim if Caliber Hospitality Trust, Inc. was recommended despite your need for liquidity, low risk tolerance, or income stability, or if the investment represented an excessive portion of your portfolio. A securities attorney can review your account statements and disclosures to determine whether your advisor complied with FINRA rules and Regulation Best Interest.
