Inspired Senior Living of New Braunfels DST – Reviews, Complaints & Investment Loss Investigation
Updated August 2025 — The White Law Group is investigating potential securities fraud claims involving Inspired Senior Living of New Braunfels DST, a Delaware Statutory Trust (DST) sponsored by Inspired Healthcare Capital.
In July 2025, Inspired Healthcare Capital announced that it was suspending new investment offerings and halting investor distributions, citing an ongoing U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regulatory review. Around the same time, the company shuttered its internal management arm, Volante Senior Living, following the resignation of its CEO, and transitioned operations of its properties to third-party managers.
These developments have raised serious concerns among investors — especially those who relied on these investments for income.
What is Inspired Senior Living of New Braunfels DST?
Inspired Senior Living of New Braunfels DST is a Regulation D private placement structured to pool investor funds for a senior housing real estate project in New Braunfels, Texas. According to a 2024 Form D filing, the sponsor sought to raise $43.7 million for the project.

Why Are Investors Filing Complaints?
The White Law Group has spoken with investors who allege that:
-
Distributions were suspended without warning, disrupting retirement income plans.
-
Risks were not fully disclosed, including high commissions and conflicts of interest.
-
Brokers failed to perform adequate due diligence on the investment.
-
The sponsor’s broader financial challenges were not communicated.
In addition, the recent SEC review, management shake-up, and operational transfer to outside companies have raised questions about the future stability and valuation of the New Braunfels property.
Risks of DST Investments Like Inspired Senior Living of New Braunfels
Illiquidity
DST interests generally cannot be sold prior to the sale of the underlying property, leaving investors stuck in the investment for years.
High Fees & Commissions
Upfront sales commissions (often 7–10%) and offering costs reduce the amount actually invested in the property.
Lack of Control
Investors have no say in property management or the timing of a sale.
Sponsor Conflicts
The sponsor may earn fees regardless of the investment’s performance.
Broker Duties & Potential Misconduct
Financial advisors who recommended Inspired Senior Living of New Braunfels DST were required to:
-
Ensure suitability for the investor’s risk tolerance and objectives.
-
Disclose all material risks and conflicts of interest.
-
Perform due diligence on the investment’s structure and sponsor.
Failure to meet these duties could make the brokerage firm liable for investor losses.
How to Recover Investment Losses
Investors cannot typically file a traditional lawsuit against the DST itself. Instead, recovery is often pursued through FINRA arbitration — a process designed for resolving disputes between investors and brokerage firms.
The White Law Group has recovered millions of dollars for investors through FINRA arbitration involving unsuitable DST recommendations.
