Soreide Law Group has been contacted by investors who have purchased Real Estate Investment Trusts (REIT) and sustained losses through the recommendation of their broker/dealers or financial advisors.

LPL Financial has restricted the purchase of eleven REITs due to this unstable market.

Broker/dealers have an obligation to their clients to make suitable recommendations according to the level of risk for the client. There are risks involved with purchasing REITs, especially with a non-exchange traded REIT and should have been made clear to the investor by the broker/dealer at the time of purchase.
A non-traded REIT does not trade on a stock exchange, and is an illiquid investment. They usually cannot be sold quickly on the open market. Non-traded REITs typically do not provide an estimate of their value per share until 18 months after their offering closes. There may be a significant time period that you are unable to assess the value of your non-traded REIT investment and its volatility. Investors may be attracted to non-traded REITs by their relatively high dividend yields compared to those of publicly traded REIT.
