We can only hope that in 5-10 years, the values will upgrade. Commercial Real estate plummeted in the 80's and then rebounded. The persons counting on the dividends for spending money now are really hurting.

My parents now ages 79 and 86 invested $20,000.00 of their retirement in this "safe" investment, since then their so trusted financial advisor is no longer with the company.

The current market values may not represent the true value of the properties in a normal market.

Both have lost money, but Inland America has faired much better. I have found that using Financial Planners is a mistake. They recommend investing in extremely risky investments, most of which are ponzi schemes or are similar to ponzi schemes. I have lost almost 1/3 of my assets thru them. All I can say is be careful and look before you leap. I invested in a Behringer Harvard REIT and an Inland America REIT. Both have lost money, but Inland America has faired much better.

When did they freeze withdrawal or the ability to sell the REIT I? This investment had built to 109K and I am now retired. It is a good thing that I had my investments spread over many bonds with no more than 4% risk. Please let me know if there is anything that can be done. I hear very little from Behringer these days, it looks like they are continuing with their pyramid scheme.
