A Tenant in Common investment is a real estate investment where multiple parties share ownership of property. The deals sponsored by Direct Invest include Class A/B warehouse, Class A&B office space, and industrial properties.
Many investors were convinced to buy these investments based upon misrepresentations and omissions by the selling broker as to the nature of the risks and without adequate explanation of the illiquid nature of the investment. TIC investments typically generated very high commissions for the broker and his firm.
Time May be Running Out For Bringing Claim
FINRA arbitration rules make it difficult, and sometimes impossible, to pursue claims on purchases made more than six years prior to the date of filing an arbitration claim. Investors who wish to pursue claims for losses on TIC investments would be wise to act before more than six years has run from the date you purchased the investment. If six years has already passed you should consult knowledgeable counsel as they may still be opportunity to bring an action based on a theory that statutes of limitation and jurisdictional rules were tolled.
If you have experienced losses in TIC investments sponsored by Direct Invest, you may be able to recover all or a part of your losses through FINRA arbitration. To learn more about FINRA arbitration, see this.
