Tenant in Common (TIC) Investment Fraud 

Attorney Daniel Bakondi focuses on securities law and investment recovery, including recovering investment losses from tenancy in common (TIC) investments.   

Many investors are led into tenant in common TIC investments from a broker who promises tax savings from a 1031 exchange by purchasing a like-kind property.  Sometimes real estate brokers or investment advisors recommend a tenant in common investment as "safe real estate."  This is often false.  Many TICS are not safe investments, nor are they even real estate in the typical sense.  Unlike most real estate, these are securities for which there is often no market and cannot be resold.  TICS are often completely illiquid securities that many investors dont know the true or current value of.

Securities brokers or "financial advisors" sometimes sell TICS because a sponsor is promoting it to them, and their motivation may be commissions many times the rate of selling a more secure investment.  Often, your intended tax savings from the 1031 exchange are eaten up by broker commissions and outright cash straight into the pocket of the sponsor.  

In fact, many TICS are horrible investments that should have never been sold.  

Tenant in common TIC investments often result in a total loss to the investor.  The
building goes into foreclosure, the bank collects, and your entire interest could disappear, or worse.

Still, many investors have a difficult time deciding to take action, hire an attorney, and try to recoup their investment.   At the first sign of problems, you should act immediately.  Brokers and sponsors can only hope that investors delay until it is too late to act, and impossible to obtain a recovery.  The law limits the time you have to seek a recovery of your investment. 

Has your TIC investment had a cash call?

Has your TIC investment stopped paying distributions?

Is the building going into foreclosure?

For many tenant in common investments, the broker and sponsor violated so many rules, that an attorney bringing a securities arbitration claim in FINRA Financial Regulatory Authority or a lawsuit may obtain an award for part or full recovery of your entire investment, sometimes even plus interest - if the investor bring a claim in time.

What laws do brokers and financial advisors violate in selling a tenant in common tic investment?

Sometimes stock-brokers or investment advisors sell a tenancy in common investment and fail to adequately perform due diligence.  They fail to research the company, the people behind the company, and the structure of the deal.  Sometimes the sponsors or master tenants have a history of bankruptcies or other business problems.  Sometimes the deal is structured so poorly, that it is unlikely anyone but the sponsor and brokers will make money.

Sometimes there are material omissions or misrepresentations in the private placement memorandum, advertisements, or other offering materials which clearly amount to securities fraud.  When this is the case, often the broker selling the investment either know of these problems and do not disclose them, turn a blind eye to them, or do not look into clear red flags that warn of potential and future problems with the investment.  Brokers often tell investors that these investments are real estate and safe, and often say nothing of possible foreclosures, cash calls, possible total loss of the investment, or other potential problems.  Such tenant in common tic investment fraud on the part of a broker may allow you to get back some or all of the money you put into the investment.

Sometimes brokers sell tenancy in common investments that are unsuitable for the investor.  Often TICS are sold even though they are far too risky for an investor’s risk tolerance.  Many investors who end up with tenant in common interests are looking for a very safe investment, and have little risk tolerance.  Brokers blatantly breach duties when they sell a speculative and risky investment to someone who cannot tolerate the risk, and never signed up to.  Some brokers put too great a percentage of an investors' money in a single type of investment, sometimes into a single building!  This is the opposite of the diversification and secure investing advice the broker is trusted to provide.  Brokers are required to know their investor, and sell approproate securities for individual needs, goals, and risk tolerance.

Sometimes a broker or investment advisor breaches his or her fiduciary duty in selling a private placement.  If a broker puts his or her financial interest ahead of the investor, he or she may have breached the fiduciary duty of loyalty.  

Sometimes the security is unregistered, or the investor is not accredited or sophisticated, or forged documents, or the legally sufficient prior business relationship does not exist between the investor and the broker.  

Sometimes appraisal inconsistencies, markups, commissions and fees from the simple sale of the tenant in common put millions of dollars into the pockets of brokers and sponsors involved in the deal.

Sometimes the deals are structured so that the master tenant of a master lease stands only to profit and has no obligation with any real financial backing to the investor in case subtenants do not pay rent, or other expenses arise. 

If your tenancy in common is not performing as expected, please contact Attorney Daniel Bakondi to investigate your case and determine whether your broker may have done something wrong in selling an investment to you, and whether some or all of your investment may be recoverable.
