PRIVATE (NON PUBLICLY TRADED) REITS

According to a recent article in the Investment News, the year end value of the Behringer Harvard Opportunity REIT I was down 46% from a year earlier. The current estimated value is $4.12 a share vs. $7.66 a share a year ago.

In 2009, its value was $10 and it has been steadily dropping. According to analysts the falling valuation is due to the deep decline of six real estate properties in the portfolio. While the goal for most nontraded REITs is to return the invested principal to investors, analysts admit that "will be a real challenge" in this case.

FINRA has proposed regulations that would require more disclosure on the valuation of nontraded REITs as they appear on client statements. Presently there is a lack of transparency with regard to commissions and upfront costs when valuing the investments.

Brokers have a duty to make suitable recommendations when offering advise on your portfolio.
