Business Bureau a plus rating as part of
[35]
your due diligence when choosing an
[36]
attorney to represent your interests it
[39]
is a commonly held belief that one of
[41]
the best and most secure ways to grow
[43]
your money is by investing in real
[45]
estate the reason why real estate is so
[48]
alluring to investors is because it
[49]
provides them with something physical
[51]
while regular equities purchased on
[53]
public securities exchanges do not in
[55]
their minds purchase property will
[57]
always exist meanwhile they might
[59]
believe they're purchased equities may
[61]
just disappear this in turn causes them
[63]
to wrongly believe that real estate is a
[65]
much safer option than publicly
[67]
purchased equities this common
[69]
misconception has unfortunately led to
[71]
investors being placed in highly
[73]
unsuitable alternative investments known
[75]
as non traded real estate investment
[77]
trusts also known as non-traded REITs
[79]
like other alternative investments
[82]
non-traded REITs are privately traded
[84]
securities that do not trade on public
[86]
securities exchanges rather they are
[88]
investment pools designed to solicit
[90]
funds directly from investors to fund
[91]
real estate purchases while these
[93]
securities are registered with the
[95]
Securities and Exchange Commission their
[97]
private nature makes it incredibly
[99]
difficult to regulate them this gives
[101]
less than scrupulous brokers ample
[103]
opportunity to misrepresent these
[105]
investments as safe and lucrative
[107]
when nothing could actually be further
[109]
from the truth in reality non-traded
[111]
REITs are highly speculative illiquid
[114]
and generally unsuitable for most
[116]
investors non-traded REITs usually
[118]
embark on large development projects
[120]
without any real way to guarantee that
[122]
they will be successful these reads are
[124]
not fully developed companies with a
[125]
long history of successful projects they
[128]
are newly formed investment pools often
[130]
embarking on ambitious projects that are
[132]
outside their resources and capabilities
[134]
brokers often draw investors in with the
[137]
promise of high income distributions
[138]
many non-traded reed investors are told
[141]
that their investment returns will be
[143]
paid to them through incredibly high
[144]
scheduled distributions that take place
[146]
over the life of the trust however many
[149]
investors are unaware that these
[151]
distributions are entirely dependent
[153]
upon the REIT success which as stated
[156]
before is in no way guaranteed despite
[159]
this many brokers pitch these
[161]
investments to unsuspecting investors as
[163]
a safe and income producing product in
[165]
addition to the risks associated with
[167]
these products non-traded REITs are also
[169]
incredibly illiquid but simply liquidity
[173]
means having ready access to your funds
[175]
some might assume this only means funds
[177]
held in private bank accounts however
[179]
publicly traded equities are also very
[182]
liquid because they have a guaranteed
[183]
redemption this means an investor can
[186]
redeem their shares at the current value
[187]
at any moment during the life of the
[189]
investment this is not the case with
[191]
privately traded investments like mount
[193]
rated REITs that lack the guaranteed
[195]
redemption associated with publicly
[197]
traded equities due to the nature of
[199]
these investments those managing these
[201]
funds wants to hang on to cash infuse
[203]
for as long as possible because of this
[205]
these trusts often work to deter
[208]
investors from withdrawing funds early
[209]
non-traded REITs only operate for a
[212]
finite amount of time before they
[213]
eventually become public or are
[215]
liquidated it is at this point that
[217]
investors can then redeem their shares
[219]
for their stated value however if an
[222]
investor wants to withdraw before this
[223]
point it is very difficult to do so in
[226]
many cases non-traded REITs only offer
[228]
buyouts on a quarterly or yearly basis
[230]
of which there are only a limited
[232]
or buyouts actually offer if the amount
[235]
of investors looking to withdraw early
[237]
exceeds the number of offered buy outs
[239]
and many investors might find themselves
[241]
stuck in a failing investment on top of
[244]
this investors are very rarely offered
[246]
the amount they're told their shares are
[247]
valued at instead investors are told to
[250]
wait until the liquidation phase if they
[252]
want to receive the full amount however
[254]
depending upon how successful the
[256]
company was the shares could be almost
[258]
worthless by that point aside from their
[260]
associated risk and illiquidity
[263]
non-traded REITs can also be incredibly
[265]
harmful due to their high upfront fees a
[267]
large percentage of these fees are paid
[269]
back to the stock broker and their firm
[271]
as their commission for brokering the
[273]
trade these Commission's can be as high
[275]
as 10% of the principal investment this
[278]
often creates significant conflicts of
[280]
interest for stock brokers as it can
[282]
cause them to recommend non-traded REITs
[284]
so customers that are highly unsuited
[286]
for them compounded with other upfront
[288]
fees this can drain an investor's
[290]
principal investment of as much as 17%
[293]
at the time the transaction is executed
[296]
when an investor's principal is drained
[298]
that significantly it makes it almost
[300]
impossible for them to see positive
[301]
returns on their investments when
[303]
compared to other benchmarks products
[306]
like these are usually only sold by
[307]
third tier brokerage firms some of these
[310]
brokerage firms only require certain
[312]
forms to be signed in order to place
[313]
clients into these products they hide
[315]
behind disclosures on subscription
[317]
agreements and prospectuses as a way to
[319]
sell these products to unsuspecting
[320]
investors they fully utilize the
[323]
complicated nature of these securities
[325]
to hide their true nature and present
[327]
