Inspired Senior Living of Las Vegas DST: Investor Lawsuit Investigation
The White Law Group is investigating potential securities claims involving broker-dealers who may have unsuitably recommended investments in Inspired Senior Living of Las Vegas DST to investors.
What is Inspired Senior Living of Las Vegas DST?
Inspired Senior Living of Las Vegas DST is a private placement Delaware Statutory Trust (DST) investment sponsored by Inspired Healthcare Capital. The company reportedly filed a Form D to raise capital from investors in 2021 to purchase Coronado Heights Senior Living in Henderson, NV. According to the filing, the total offering amount was purportedly $28,000,000.
The Form D further indicates that approximately 10% of the offering amount was allocated to selling commissions and fees, including Managing Broker Dealer Fees, Non-Accounting Marketing & Due Diligence Allowance, and Wholesaling Fees.
Inspired Healthcare Capital LLC reportedly specializes in senior housing investments, with a focus on Independent Living (IL), Assisted Living (AL), and Memory Care (MC) facilities. The firm raises equity capital through the broker-dealer network via financial advisors and, as of March 2022, reportedly had over $500 million in assets under management.
Pause on Distributions
According to recent investor reports, Inspired Senior Living of Las Vegas DST has paused distributions to investors. A suspension of cash flow payments can be a red flag for financial distress, liquidity issues, or operational challenges at the property level. For investors who were relying on steady income, this pause may significantly impact financial planning and raises questions about whether the risks of the investment were properly disclosed at the time of sale.
DSTs: Are They Suitable for You?
While Delaware Statutory Trusts may offer tax deferral benefits through Section 1031 exchanges, they are not suitable for all investors. Risks associated with DSTs include:
- Concentration Risk: DSTs typically involve investment in a single property, leading to lack of diversification.
- Lease Risks: If the tenant defaults, terminates, or fails to renew, revenue may be severely impacted, jeopardizing returns and tax benefits.
- Lack of Control: Investors do not have voting rights or management authority over the trust.
- Illiquidity: DST interests are difficult to sell or exit, making them unsuitable for investors who may need quick access to capital.
Regulation Best Interest Obligations
Under the SEC’s Regulation Best Interest standard, broker-dealers are required to perform due diligence before recommending any investment. If a financial advisor failed to adequately investigate the risks of Inspired Senior Living of Las Vegas DST before recommending it, they may be liable for investor losses.
Class Action vs. Individual FINRA Arbitration
Investors often wonder whether a class action lawsuit is a better recovery option than an individual claim. Typically, if an investor’s losses are substantial (for example, exceeding $100,000), filing an individual FINRA arbitration claim may be more effective. Class actions are generally more suitable for investors with smaller claims.
