The Trouble with Non-traded REITs

Non-traded REITS, like Behringer Harvard Opportunity REIT I, are considerably more complex and involve a high degree of risk, compared to traditional investments, such as stocks, bonds and mutual funds.

Unfortunately many investors were not made adequately aware of the risks and liquidity problems associated with REITs.

Investors looking to sell a private placement investment often have trouble finding a buyer, and can suffer significant losses on the sale.

The White Law Group has represented numerous investors in claims against their brokerage firms for recommending non-traded REITs.

Broker dealers are required to perform adequate due diligence on any investment they recommend and to ensure that all recommendations are suitable for the investor. Recommendations should be in line with the investor’s age, risk tolerance, net worth, and investment experience.

Broker dealers that fail to adequately disclose risks or make unsuitable investment recommendations can be held liable for investment losses.
