Be VERY careful when investing in REITs  either Publicly Traded or Primary offerings.  There are reasons why RIETs only allow very few non-accredited investors to participate. One of the reasons is the ill-liquidity of the investment especially, on the Primary offering side.  My advice is to find a Financial Advisor in your local area to talk to about this form of investing. 

Remember, when speaking to an Advisor they get paid by what you invest in but they have to give you a Prospectus of the offering which allows you to do your own due diligence. Two things you need to ask about is the percentage of leverage the REIT utilizes and what other successful offerings the company has produced in the past. In a Primary offering; how many of the companies offerings have successfully gone public and what was the time horizon for each?

Please, realize I am not giving Investment Advice regarding any specific Security or Securities.  I just want you to fully understand what you are getting into and finding professional guidance is a prudent way to go.
