California REIT Lawyer

Investing in REITs, or real estate investment trusts is a well-known product that diversifies a portfolio with a historically conservative and successful investment that draws returns on the income derived from owning a multitude of properties including malls and other businesses, homes, condos and even apartments. These organizations offer shares that can be purchased by public investors who can then enjoy the return on their investment in the form of dividends. For many years, REITs have also provided an excellent incentive for brokers by offering substantial commissions and charging disproportionate fees, much of which goes back to the broker.

Real estate investment trusts were much more popular in recent years with the booming housing market, but many investors are now suffering serious losses due to poor earnings, overextension and other factors. These hardships have helped to identify a disturbing trend in the securities industry where financial advisors, brokers and brokerage firms engage in misconduct, fraud and negligence in order to gain those higher commissions regardless of any conflicts with investmentsuitability. When these practices are identified as leading to losses for the investor, then a skilled California investment fraud lawyer can assist in the pursuit of recovery.
