No information provided on this Web site or by any employee of Oregon 1031 Investments shall be construed as promissory, or as any representation of past, current and future financial performance. None of the content herein shall be considered as advice or recommendation pertaining to financial advisement.

As with any investment in real estate, there are risks associated with TIC ownership, including:
1. Vacancy rates which can impact cash flow.
2. Fluctuations in the real estate market that impact the value of the property.
3. There are risks associated with the loss of a major tenant. Multiple tenant situations can mitigate, but will not eliminate, this risk.
4. There may be a loss of control since TIC ownership requires unanimous approval to take a major action, such as a re-finance or sale.
5. There is no known secondary market for TIC interests and therefore the investment is considered illiquid.

It is not possible to address all relevant risk factors in this forum. Risk factors are outlined in the Private Placement Memorandum for each offering. Investors should thoroughly understand all risk factors and discuss them with their financial representative prior to investing in a 1031/TIC offering.
