The Parking REIT Delays NAV Update Citing Covid-19, featured by top securities fraud attorneys, The White Law GroupConcerned about investment losses in the Parking REIT?

Did you lose money in the Parking REIT at the recommendation of your financial advisor? If so, the securities attorneys at The White Law Group may be able to help you to recover your losses by filing a FINRA dispute resolution claim against your brokerage firm.

The Parking REIT is a non-traded REIT formed in December 2017 by the merger of MVP REIT and MVP REIT II that invests primarily in parking lots and garages in the United States.

The White Law Group has been investigating the Parking REIT/MVP REIT II since 2016 when it first announced that it would re-evaluate pursuing a listing on the NASDAQ Global Market, and consider other stockholder liquidity options.

The company suspended distributions paid on its Series A and Series 1 Preferred Stock  last April due to economic turmoil caused by the COVID-19 global pandemic. Yet  prior to the Coronavirus,  the company suspended distributions and share repurchases for holders of its common stock in 2018.

According to a Form 8-K filing on December 30, The Parking REIT, Inc., has continued to delay its calculation of an updated NAV.

The company says that due to  “the severe and continuing impact of the global COVID-19 pandemic and related governmental orders and in light of the extreme uncertainty, volatility and lack of liquidity in the market, which make values difficult to discern, the Board is still unable to determine an NAV estimate at this time.”

 The Company cannot provide any assurance as to when the Board will be able to determine an estimated NAV in the future but intends to do so when circumstances permit.The REIT typically calculates its NAV in May each year.

The Trouble with Non-Traded REITs

The trouble with non-traded REITs, like The Parking REIT, is that they are complex and inherently risky products.

Broker dealers are required to inform clients of the risks associated with investment recommendations and to ensure that those recommendations are suitable for the investor in light of the investor’s age, risk tolerance, net worth, and investment experience. Firms that fail to do so, may be held responsible for any losses.

Lack of liquidity is often problematic for many investors.  Investors looking to sell often have difficulty finding a buyer, and can suffer significant losses on the sale.

Northstar Healthcare Income Inc. Continues to Decline in Value

Northstar Healthcare Income Inc. Continues to Decline in Value, featured by top securities fraud attorneys, The White Law GroupRecovery of Investment Losses in NorthStar Healthcare Income Inc.

NorthStar Healthcare Income was reportedly formed to acquire, originate and asset manage a diversified portfolio of equity, debt and securities investments in healthcare real estate, according to its website. The company launched in February 2013, and through November 8, 2018, reportedly raised total gross proceeds of $2 billion, including $225.3 million through its distribution reinvestment plan.

The White Law Group has been investigating claims involving the REIT since December 2017, when it reduced its distribution rate to 3.31% from 6.67%.  It has continued a decline in NAV since 2017 when it was valued at $8.50 per share. 

NorthStar Healthcare has announced a revised estimated net asset value of $3.89 per share, as of June 30, 2020. The REIT’s previous NAV was $6.25 per share, as of June 30, 2019, according to recent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The REIT notes that as of June 30, 2020, the estimated value of the REIT’s 75 healthcare properties was $1.6 billion, compared with an aggregate cost, including purchase price, deferred costs, and other assets of nearly $2.2 billion.

The estimated value of the REIT’s joint venture investments was $389.3 million, compared with a total equity contribution of $511.1 million.

In total, the estimated value of NorthStar Healthcare’s healthcare properties, joint venture investments and healthcare debt investment was approximately $2.06 billion, an approximate 25 percent decrease in value compared to the total cost.

The valuation  is reportedly based on the estimated value of NorthStar Healthcare’s assets, less the estimated value of its liabilities, divided by the number of shares outstanding as of June 30, 2020.

In April 2020, the board suspended all repurchases under the share repurchase program in order to preserve capital and liquidity. Distributions were suspended in February 2019.

Unfortunately for  investors, this new NAV share price represents a significant loss in value.

The White Law Group continues to investigate the liability that brokerage firms may have for unsuitably recommending that investors invest in Northstar Healthcare Income Inc.

Brokerage firms have an obligation to recommend only investments that are suitable for the investor in light of the investor’s age, investment experience, net worth, and investment objective.  If a brokerage firm unsuitably recommends an investment they can be held responsible for the losses in a FINRA arbitration claim.
