I read about RAD through BP and I wanted to leave my review of them for other to be better informed before investing with them. Their salesman (Gregg Poirier) was very easy to get in contact when I was considering investing. He was really pushing me to invest by a certain date to lock in my price before the share price went up. I ended up investing $10,000 into their REIT. Once I invested and was part of the "RADD family," he was very hard to get ahold of. He did confirm that I got into the REIT before the share prices went up. I wasn't able to get access to their portal even though he claimed it had been sent over.

Over a month after my investment, I get a call from RADD telling me that they actually didn't put my money into the REIT. They had oversubscribed the REIT and my money has just been sitting around in a RADD account even though Gregg had told me that my money was invested in the REIT. They claimed they didn't want to tell me that my money was not in the REIT for a month because they first wanted to figure out a solution to offer myself and other customers (red flag). They offered me a promissory note with a 10% interest rate that I believe went for 18 months. They said if there is more space in the REIT later on, the money would then be transferred into the REIT, but they couldn't promise me that I'd be able to get into the REIT. I checked out the terms of the note, it wasn't backed by ANYTHING. It essentially said I trusted them to give me 10%, which as is probably clear by now, they aren't really a trustworthy organization. I asked if I got a refund would I still get an annualized 10% for the amount of time they were sitting on my money, and they wouldn't do that.

After reviewing their terms I asked for a refund. It took me multiple emails and calls for them to get the refund sorted out over the next three weeks. My overall gist of them is that RADD got pretty popular and they don't have proper operations setup to deal with the scale. If you're an accredited investor putting in 6 figures, they might take care of you better, but otherwise I would completely stay away from them. Much better places to put your money with people who are responsive, don't overpromise, and don't continuously give you a runaround.
