Wall Street Offers a New Way to Invest in Commercial Real Estate

From the Desk of Jim Eccleston at Eccleston Law LLC:

This is the second in a pair of posts about how interval funds offer a new way to invest in property by investing in the property directly, rather than in real-estate investment trusts (REITs).

However, the new approach has risks. One risk relates to valuation. Stocks and bonds are publically traded approximately 250 days a year but commercial real estate tends to be only privately appraised, once every three months. Because the investments are only appraised once every three months, the accuracy of the appraisals always are a concern for investors.

Another risk is that the real estate sector undergoes up and down market cycles. There are a plethora of market risks that can trigger an imbalance in the supply and demand for real estate. The consequences of the 2008 financial crisis are a good example of the risks associated with the up and down market cycles of real estate investments.

If the regulators are after you, and are trying to make a case against you, and you are going to contest their allegations against you, make sure you have the best securities industry defense lawyers, Eccleston Law Firm. My case was spun into a combination of penalties including fines, cash settlements, CE courses and suspension. They were the best I have seen in action. When all was said and done, they had done their magic, my situation was negotiated and settled with a simple "letter of caution" and a case closed without action. It is the most important legal business decision you will ever make, make it Eccleston Law.
