Investment Details

PICR Fund III, L.P.

PICR Fund III, L.P. (the "Fund") was founded in 2015, and is a continuation of Pintar Investment Company’s ("PIC" or "Sponsor") two existing funds, Pintar Investment Company Residential, L.P. ("PICR") and Dhandho Residential Rental Fund ("Dhandho"). 

Pintar Investment Company Residential, L.P. ("PICR") 

PICR, which was founded in 2010, was the Sponsor's first investment vehicle for which they acted as the principal (as opposed to acquiring homes for institutional clients).  PICR’s focus was primarily on "fix and flip" SFRHs.  PIC’s 2Q 2015 investor letter states that the fund has averaged a net quarterly return of approximately 8.4% since inception.  The Fund's existing portfolio as of September 3, 2015 may be found attached to the Management tab.  Examples of SFRHs bought and sold under the "fix and flip" strategy by the Fund can be seen below.

Property Background*

• Distressed short sale purchase of a 1978 vintage, fire-damaged, four bedroom, two bathroom home in San Diego
• Remodeled all bathrooms in the home and replaced all window and appliances, while repairing any structural fire damage
• Master bedroom was reconfigured to maximize space and increase ceiling height
• Painted and landscaped the property and refinished the pool in the backyard
• Sponsor completed the renovation for approximately $36,000, but estimates retail cost for the repairs to be in excess of $70,000
• Renovation took seven weeks to complete and the property was sold within 161 days of its purchase for a $59,000 gross profit and 9.2% unlevered gross return

​

Property Background*

• Probate sale purchase of a 1978 vintage, three bedroom, two bathroom San Diego home which had fallen into complete disrepair with serious foundational and structural issues
• Added a new master suite and completely remodeled the kitchen and living room areas
• Installed larger windows in the rear of the home to accentuate the mountain view from the living room, dining room and kitchen
• Replaced the roof and several structural supports of the home
• Sponsor completed renovation for less than $49,000, but estimates retail cost for the repairs to be in excess of $100,000
• Renovation took five weeks to complete and the property was sold within 150 days of its purchase for a $49,000 gross profit and 10.91% unlevered gross return

Dhandho Residential Rental Fund ("Dhandho")

Dhandho, which was founded in 2012, was the Sponsor’s second investment vehicle for which they acted as the principal.  Dhandho’s focus was on "buy and hold" SFRHs.  PIC’s 2Q 2015 investor letter states that the fund has averaged a net quarterly return of approximately 5.9%.  The historical returns for both PICR and Dhandho, as well as an example of the PIC quarterly investment letter, may be found on the right hand side of the Financials tab.

Rolling these two existing funds into the Fund has generated current cash flow to the Fund's existing investors.  Investors in Realty Mogul 44, LLC could benefit from receiving current cash flow as the majority of existing equity within the fund is already placed.  This is anticipated to increase cash yields during the typically low-yield investment period of the Fund.

The investment focus of the Fund is to follow what was done in Dhandho and PICR.  The Fund is currently approximately 80% "buy and hold" and 20% "fix and flip," in terms of number of SFRHs held in the portfolio.  While the investment rate into new properties is likely to be approximately 70/30 buy/hold (although this is to be at Sponsor's discretion), the short hold period for "fix and flip" projects vs. "buy and hold" projects means that the portfolio could end up being concentrated above 80% in "buy and hold" targets in the future (based on assets under management).  Furthermore, should SFRH values trend downwards during the investment lifetime then assets which were originally bought under the "fix and flip" strategy may instead be held for cash flow in the "buy and hold" strategy until such time as market conditions allow for more favorable disposition of the assets.  

To assist RM investors, assorted Case-Shiller historical data on single family home values may be found attached to the Management tab.  For an explanation on the Case-Shiller index, and full Case-Shiller data, visit the Case-Shiller website.

Investment Highlights

• Experienced Sponsor: PIC has invested over $1 billion in over 5,000 SFRHs for institutional clients such as KKR Beazer Pre-owned Rental Homes and Colony American Homes Inc.
• Low Investment Minimums: With the new class of interests, and because RM will be aggregating investor funds, the effective minimum investment amount for Realty Mogul investors to invest in the Fund will be reduced from $500,000 to $25,000 (as compared to investing in the Fund directly through the existing class of interests).
• Economies of Scale Allow for Competitive Pricing in Rehab Costs: PIC has a strong concentration in all markets which it currently acquires properties.  Due to PIC's history operating in these markets, its vendor relationships allow for pricing on rehab assignments which is competitive with, and often less than, pricing which would be available to smaller-scale investors or home owners.
• All-Cash Auction Purchases of SFRHs Allow for Below Market Value Acquisition Costs: PIC's strategy of acquiring many of its properties at all-cash auctions has historically allowed for favorable acquisition bases relative to market value.  PIC has on multiple occasions acquired a SFRH through an all-cash auction and proceeded to dispose of the same SFRH for a 10%+ profit soon thereafter without having invested additional rehab funds into the property.
• Existing Portfolio Allows for Current Cash Flow: The Fund's existing portfolio, which is in excess of $37 million, allows for current cash flow to investors.  As opposed to investing at the inception of a fund with no assets and experiencing little to no distributions during the investment period, RM investors should receive immediate cash flow from their investment in the Fund.  
• In-Place Team Should be Capable of Upscaling the Fund: The team which Pintar had in place when it acquired over $1 billion in SFRHs for institutional clients is virtually the same team it has in-place now.  However, the team now is considerably more seasoned, as the asset managers, who were hired straight from college, have now ran their portfolios for several years.  Furthermore, asset managers, who handle most of the fund’s day-to-day decision making, receive commission based compensation on their respective portfolio’s production, which heavily incentivizes them to maximize their respective portfolios’ success.  The organizational chart for the Fund may be found on the right hand side of the Management tab. 
• Management Team is Highly Invested in the Fund: PIC managers have nearly $7 million of their own personal wealth invested in the Fund.
• Low Leverage Limits: Properties held by the Fund are currently levered at no more 60% - 65% of market value, providing a buffer between existing home values and leverage levels for the properties should home values contract.  Similarly, in a descending rental rate market, the general partner of the Fund will be able to rent the units for a lower rental income figure and still be able to cover interest expense versus if the properties were more highly levered. 

Risks and Risk Mitigation*

• General Risks of Investment in the Fund per the General Partner of the Fund:  Cash flow will be derived from the resale of properties and/or rental payments. Payments to investors will be contingent on the Fund’s successful operation; therefore, the economic success of an investment in the Fund will depend directly upon the resale market and/or lease(s).  A failure to sell a property and/or a vacancy by a tenant that is not replaced or is replaced at less attractive terms can adversely affect operating results or render the sale or refinancing of the Fund difficult or unattractive.  No assurance can be given as to the accuracy of certain assumptions related to the future sale and/or occupancy of the properties within the Fund by tenants or the ability of such tenants’ to pay rents or costs for the properties within the Fund, as these matters will depend on events and factors possibly beyond the control of the limited liability company members.  Such factors include continued validity and enforceability of the leases in the event a tenant defaults thereunder, the financial resources of the tenant, adverse change in local population trends, market conditions, neighborhood property values, local economic and social conditions, supply and demand for property similar to the properties within the Fund, competition from similar properties, environmental hazards and liabilities caused by third parties, interest rates and real estate tax rates and assessments, governmental rules, regulations and fiscal policies, zoning restrictions, the enactment of unfavorable environmental or hazardous material laws, labor and material costs, uninsured losses, effects or inflation and other risks.
• Forward-Looking Statements: Investors should not rely on any forward-looking statements made regarding this opportunity, because such statements are inherently uncertain and involve risks. We use words such as “anticipated,” “projected,” “forecasted,” “estimated,” “prospective,” “believes,” “expects,” ”plans,” “future,” “intends,” “should,” “can,” “could,” “might,” “potential,” “continue,” “may,” “will,” and similar expressions to identify these forward-looking statements.
• Illiquid Investment - Transfer Restrictions & No Public Market: The transferability of membership interests in Realty Mogul 44, LLC are restricted both by the operating agreement for that entity and by U.S. federal and state securities laws.  In general, investors will not be able to sell or transfer their interest for a minimum of three (3) years, unless the general partner of the Fund permits redemption of forty percent (40%) or more of the then outstanding shares of the fund, in which case Realty Mogul 44, LLC investors will be offered the opportunity to sell their shares at the current market value on a pro rata basis with other investors (i.e., subject to the availability of liquidity in the Fund to pay out investors).  There is also no public market for the investment interests and none is expected to be available in the future. Persons should not invest if they require any of their investment to be liquid. This is particularly important for persons of retirement age, who should plan carefully to assure that their assets last throughout retirement.
• Review of Fund PPM: Before making any investment decision, potential investors in Realty Mogul 44, LLC should carefully review the Confidential Private Placement Memorandum of the Fund ("PPM"), including but not limited to the Risk Factor section and all exhibits of the PPM.  The PPM contains additional risk factors and information regarding the Fund that are not contained herein.  Note that RM investors will be purchasing a separate and distinct class of interests from those held by existing investors in the Fund.  The issuance of the new class of interests is subject to certain approval rights held by existing investors, and details of the rights and preferences of holders of the new class of interests will be shared with RM investors prior to the funding as a supplement to the existing PPM.  
• Management Risk: Investors will be relying solely on the general partner of the Fund for the execution of its business plan. That general partner in turn may rely on other key personnel with relevant experience and knowledge, including contractors and consultants.  The general partner of the Fund has acquired and managed more than $1 billion in over 5,000 single family residential homes on behalf of institutional clients, namely Beazer Pre-Owned Rental Homes, Inc. and Colony American Homes Inc., has approximately $7 million of his own capital invested into the Fund and Jeff Pintar, the CEO of the general partner, is personally guaranteeing all debt on the properties.  Members of the Fund (including Realty Mogul 44, LLC) will agree to indemnify the managers in certain circumstances, which may result in a financial burden if any litigation results from the execution of the business plan. Realty Mogul 44, LLC is investing in the Fund under a different investor class than current investors in the fund, who, although able to liquidate their investments on an annual basis are also required to invest a minimum of $500,000 in the fund; RM Manager, LLC, the manager of Realty Mogul 44, LLC, is expected to be treated as an investment adviser exempt from federal or state registration under this strategy.
• Uncertain Distributions: The general partner of the Fund cannot offer any assurances that there will be sufficient cash available to make distributions to its members (including Realty Mogul 44, LLC) from either net cash from operations or proceeds from the sale of the asset. The general partner, in its discretion, may retain any portion of such funds in the Fund.  However, because the Fund currently has substantial existing assets (in excess of $37 million in holdings), this does provide the Fund with the potential to generate current cash flow for and distributions to its investors.  As opposed to investing at the inception of a fund (that has no existing assets) and experiencing cash drag during the initial investment period, Realty Mogul 44, LLC and its investors have the potential to receive current cash flow from their investment.  
• General Economic and Market Risks for Residential Real Estate:  While the Fund has conducted significant research to attempt to accurately predict projected rental rates and sales prices of the Fund’s assets in the future, the projections may not be accurate and may be materially lower than projected based on a number of factors including future economic conditions and the interest rates available for the assets.  The real estate market is affected by many other factors, such as general economic conditions, the availability of financing and other factors, including supply and demand for real estate investments, all of which are beyond the control of the Fund.
• Market and Asset Class Concentration Risk:  While the general partner of the Fund's stated objective is to assemble a diversified portfolio, there can be no assurances that the Fund will not be subject to substantial market concentration risk.  The real estate market generally, and the Fund's strategy in particular, may result in certain opportunities representing an outsized proportion of the total fund. For instance, approximately 30% of the Fund's existing portfolio consists of properties in Las Vegas, Nevada, a market that was significantly hit during the downturn.   The success or failure of this market, and other transactions, may have a correspondingly outsized effect on the rates of return for investors in Realty Mogul 44, LLC.  Additionally, there can be no assurances regarding the extent of any correlation among all or any set of the Fund’s acquisitions.  
• Investing in an Existing Fund:  If the valuation method used to determine the value of the existing assets in the Fund overstates the value of the existing assets in the Fund, then new investments into the Fund would suffer immediate dilution (or decrease in value) of their interests.  Under the “fix and flip" strategy assets are held at acquisition cost until disposed of.  Under the “buy and hold" strategy the Fund obtains a “Brokers Opinion of Value” (BOV) report quarterly to set property values, and on an annual basis the properties held under the "buy and hold" strategy receive a full appraisal.  The most recent of this quarterly BOV or appraisal is used for valuation.  This brief summary of the valuation methods is not intended to be a substitute for the description of the valuation methods used as described in the PPM.  Any potential investors should review the valuation sections of the PPM prior to making an investment decision.  To the extent the current valuation of the Fund's existing assets differs from actual market value upon Realty Mogul 44, LLC's investment, investors in Realty Mogul 44, LLC could experience dilution or a decrease in value of their investment.    
• Adverse Market and Economic Conditions:  Local conditions in the markets may significantly affect occupancy, rental rates, and the operating performance of each property.  These risks include plant closings, industry slowdowns, and other factors that could potentially affect the local economy. Rent control or rent stabilization laws, or other laws regulating single family homes, could also prevent the Fund raising rents or selling homes.  Adverse economic conditions such as increases in property taxes, utilities, compensation for on-site associates and routine maintenance could cause an increase in the Fund’s operating expenses, which would negatively affect the fund’s financial performance.   
• Competitive Housing Alternatives: Properties owned by the Fund will compete with other housing alternatives to attract residents, including apartments, other single family homes, mobile home parks, and condominiums which are available for rent or sale.  Operating single family homes as rentals is more capital and management intensive than other alternatives, like apartment buildings.  A strategy of rehabbing properties has significant risk as the cost of labor and materials can change, delays may occur and unforeseen changes to the scope of a project or market property values will affect the economics of an investment.  Competitive residential housing in a particular area could affect the Fund’s ability to sell its homes, rent its homes for occupancy, and/or to increase or maintain home rental rates.
