People who invested in CNL Healthcare Properties may be able to file investment fraud claims against brokerage firms who may have inappropriately recommended the high-risk investments to investors.
CNL Healthcare Properties Under Investigation
In 2018, CNL Healthcare Properties suspended its distribution reinvestment plan and stock redemption plan leaving unsuspecting investors with no future stock distributions. CNL Healthcare Properties, a non-traded real estate investment firm (REIT), makes investments in healthcare markets including acute care facilities, medical offices, and senior housing sponsored by CNL. Brokerage firms who recommended high-risk investments in CNL Healthcare Properties are now under investigation for failing to perform due diligence to ensure investments were suitable for investors based on their age, net worth, financial needs, and investment experience.
Non-traded investments are typically sold as unregistered securities and involve a high degree of risk. Because non-traded investments are not registered, they lack the regulatory oversight that more traditional investment products like stocks and bonds would have. Within the investment industry, non-traded investments like the ones with CNL Healthcare Properties are known for their high sales commissions and due diligence fees. Many brokers push these products to unsuspecting or inexperienced investors to make higher profits for themselves. Unethical brokers often downplay the high risk of REIT investments to investors and misrepresent the potential for high income and tax benefits.
