(Most private equity investments are for a limited time period such as 7 – 10 years) The main benefit of a privately held REIT is that is has the potential to pay huge dividends. The big negative is the fact that shares of a private REIT can not be sold. So, if the REIT loses money there is no way out. But if it makes money, the dividends it pays can be huge. Such is the case with any risky investment. If this type of risk is too much to bear, then there is always the option of investing in a public REIT instead.
