What Is HIT REIT?

The Hospitality Investors Trust, Inc. was a non-traded real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that, according to its website, owned “a diversified portfolio of strategically-located hotel properties.” Investments were focused on the select-service market of the hospitality sector.

The trust, formerly known as American Realty Capital Hospitality Trust, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in an effort to restructure its over $1 billion debt. A final decree was ordered on Jul 1, 2021. The value of the stock dropped substantially from its original price of $25 per share to less than $1. Investors are unlikely to recover their principal in light of the bankruptcy.

How to Recover Losses Related to HIT REIT

Several investors have alleged that when their broker or financial advisor recommended and sold investment in the Hospitality Investors Trust REIT, they made false or misleading statements. Some investors were informed that the investment was safe and conservative. 

In truth, REITs are almost always unsuitable for the average investor as they present a high degree of risk and may be illiquid. These complex investments are best suited for sophisticated retail investors who are well-informed of the potential for loss of principal. Financial advisors and stockbrokers often recommend these products because of their high up-front commissions and fees, which many consumers are unaware of at the time of purchase.
