Risks of Non-traded REITs
The White Law Group continues to investigate potential claims involving broker-dealers’ unsuitable recommendation that investors purchase high-risk non-traded REITs like Steadfast Income REIT. Many investors are not fully aware of the problems and risks associated with these investments before purchasing them.
Real estate investment trusts (REITs) are complex and inherently risky products. Compared to traditional investments, such as stocks, bonds and mutual funds, REITs are significantly more complex and often better suited for sophisticated and institutional investors.
Unfortunately, in many cases, the high sales commissions paid by REITs may provide some brokers with enough incentive to make unsuitable investment recommendations.
Non-traded REITs usually lack liquidity. Investors looking to sell these investments often have difficulty finding a buyer, and if they are able to find one can suffer significant losses on the sale.
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. Firms that fail to do so, may be held responsible for any losses in a FINRA arbitration claim.
