What Are REITs?
REITs, or Real Estate Investment Trusts, are companies that own, operate, or finance income-producing real estate. They allow individuals to invest in real estate properties or portfolios without directly purchasing or managing the properties themselves.
REITs typically focus on various property types, such as apartments or healthcare facilities. Investors in REITs earn a share of the income generated from real estate, such as rent, without needing to buy or manage the properties. REITs can be publicly traded on stock exchanges, privately held, or non-traded, offering different levels of accessibility and risk to investors.

Rebranding to National Healthcare Properties Inc.
In 2024, Healthcare Trust, Inc. rebranded as National Healthcare Properties, Inc., signaling a new phase focused on growth and leadership in healthcare real estate. The company internalized its management to reduce costs, saving over $25 million annually in general and administrative expenses.
Alongside this shift, a 4-for-1 reverse stock split was implemented to align the company’s stock price with industry standards and enhance market appeal. These changes aim to improve governance and shareholder value and position the company for future opportunities in the healthcare real estate sector.
Healthcare Trust Inc. Financial Misconduct Allegations
Over the years, concerns have arisen regarding alleged misrepresentation of risks by brokerage firms that sold the REIT to investors. Since its initial offering, Healthcare Trust’s share prices have experienced a significant decline.
Risks and Liquidity Issues
The REIT has been entangled in the larger web of commercial real estate struggles. It was sponsored by American Realty Capital (now AR Global), a firm associated with Nicholas Schorsch, whose other ventures, like Hospitality Investors Trust Inc. (HIT REIT), have encountered major setbacks, including a Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing.
This history of underperformance and scandal has made Healthcare Trust Inc. a risky investment for many, with disappointing results for shareholders, exacerbated by the challenges of non-traded REITs.
Unsuitable Investment Recommendations
Unsuitable investment recommendations involving REITs, particularly non-traded REITs, arise when financial advisors fail to properly assess an investor’s financial goals, risk tolerance, or investment horizon.
Non-traded REITs are inherently illiquid and carry higher risks compared to publicly traded REITs, making them inappropriate for individuals who may need access to their funds or are unable to endure market fluctuations.
For retirees, conservative investors, or those unfamiliar with the complexities of alternative investments, such unsuitable recommendations can result in significant financial losses and missed opportunities for more appropriate, lower-risk investment options.

Can I File a Lawsuit Against Healthcare Trust Inc.?
If your financial advisor’s negligence led to financial losses, you may consider taking legal action against the company. However, pursuing a lawsuit against the firm is often unlikely.
Most clients sign agreements when opening investment accounts that include arbitration clauses, effectively waiving their right to file a lawsuit in court. Instead, these agreements typically require disputes to be resolved through FINRA arbitration.
FINRA Arbitration
Arbitration is a private, legally binding alternative to going to court and is managed by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). It offers a way to resolve disputes with financial firms when issues like investment losses or financial misconduct arise.
In arbitration, both parties present their arguments and evidence to an impartial panel of arbitrators, who then decide the outcome. Arbitration is typically quicker and more streamlined than filing a lawsuit.
