Cranberry Retail Venture DST Securities Investigation

Are you concerned about your investment in Cranberry Retail Venture DST? If so, the securities attorneys at The White Law Group may be able to help you file a complaint against the brokerage firm that sold you the investment.

Inland Private Capital Corporation, a sponsor of Delaware Statutory Trust (DST) offerings,  reportedly specializes in creating and managing commercial real estate investment programs for Section 1031 exchange investors, according to its website.

The company filed a Form D to raise capital from investors for the offering Cranberry Retail Venture DST in 2014. The total offering amount sold was purportedly $8,652,053.

While there is a time and place for most investments, DSTs are not appropriate for many investors as they come with a few disadvantages.  For example, 1031 DSTs cannot raise new capital once the investment is made leaving investors holding the bag if expensive repairs are needed or other issues arise – like a drop in occupancy or rental income. The investors also have limited control over the property.  While the sponsor may welcome feedback from the investors in the DST, they don’t allow any actions to be taken by any one investor.

Additionally, 1031 DSTs are illiquid, and it can often be difficult to find a buyer if an investor wants to sell their interest before the property is sold.

Filing a Complaint against your Brokerage Firm

The White Law Group is investigating the liability that FINRA registered brokerage firms may have for improperly recommending high-risk investments to investors.

Despite? the risks of investing in DSTs, brokerage firms continue to push this type of investment because of the high commissions associated with their sale and creation.

Fortunately, FINRA does provide for an arbitration forum for investors to resolve disputes if a broker or brokerage firm makes an? unsuitable investment recommendation ?or fails to adequately disclose the risks associated with an investment. It is possible that they could be found liable for investment losses in a FINRA arbitration claim.
