I invested $50K in a REIT called Reliant Real Estate Management Self-Storage Fund IV in early 2024 (https://www.reliant-mgmt.com/ ). They indicated based on past experience that the overall returns would be significant, averaging 9% per annum. However there were no distributions in all of 2025, and so far none in 2026. Furthermore, only by viewing the tax forms at for 2025, I discovered my capital account now has only $42K, meaning I have had a 20% loss of investment in the past 18 months. Yes, the market has not performed well for many self storage units, but no distributions plus a 20% loss in a short time does not bode well for investors. Is this the norm that other Self-Storage REITS have had such massive losses in 2025/2026?

Was the loss because of a depreciation? In which case that would be a paper loss to optimize taxes.
Might want to ask this in r/syndications too, as that’s a closer topic than investing in general.
