Donna Louise Payne and April Lynne Waldman Investigation | The risks of non-trade REITs

 

Moody National REIT II is another stark reminder of how disastrous non-traded REITs can be for investors. According to the US Securities and Exchange Commission, “[b]ecause they do not trade on a stock exchange, non-traded REITs involve special risks”.

 

Non-traded REITs are illiquid investments, which means that “if you need to sell an asset to raise money quickly, you may not be able to do so with shares of a non-traded REIT.” Moreover, “it can be difficult to determine the value of a share of a non-traded REIT. Non-traded REITs typically do not provide an estimate of their value per share until 18 months after their offering closes. This may be years after you have made your investment. As a result, for a significant time period, you may be unable to assess the value of your non-traded REIT investment and its volatility.”
