We run extensive background checks, criminal checks, bad actor checks, and reference checks on sponsors. In addition to never allowing a sponsor with a criminal history / any securities related issue to use the platform, we may also turn down sponsors due to poor reference checks even if background and criminal checks come back clear.
We require unaffiliated sponsors to use an unaffiliated third-party escrow agent. When an investor makes an investment with unaffiliated sponsors using the RealtyMogul platform, the investor’s money is transferred directly into a third-party escrow account. All closing conditions in connection with a sponsor’s offering need to be met before the third-party escrow agent will approve releasing investor funds to the issuer or general partner. For example, if an issuer or general partner plans to use funds for a real estate acquisition that does not ultimately transact, the third-party escrow agent will not transfer investor funds to the issuer or general partner, and funds will be returned to investors.
Our controls include visiting every property (or a subset of properties if it’s a fund) to confirm the real estate is what and where the real estate is supposed to be.
We have robust quality controls with detailed checklists and a review of third-party reports.
Returns are not solely dependent upon a renovation premium or mark-to-market, but because the business plan is predicated on expense reduction, RealtyMogul has simply applied market rent growth to in-place rents going forward.
The Real Estate Company is highly experienced; its Principals have successfully owned and operated more than 5,000 multifamily units in Texas over the course of multiple real estate cycles.
Because the Real Estate Company has been the property manager for years, it has unique insight into operational upside that the seller has been unwilling or unable to capitalize on.

In this transaction, RealtyMogul investors are to invest in RealtyMogul 139, LLC ("The Company"), which is to subsequently invest in Montclair Estates Apartments LLC ("The Target"), a limited liability company that will directly or indirectly own interest in the Property. ParaWest Group (the "Real Estate Company") is under contract to purchase the Property for $9.0 million ($80,000 per unit) and the total project cost is expected to be $10.7 million ($94,472 per unit).
The Real Estate Company plans to implement an expense-saving strategy over the course of the hold period. The major components of this strategy are the closure of a kitchen that is currently only used by 30 of the 113 units, a reduction in payroll expense through reducing the number of employees at the Property, and utility savings through individual metering. There are currently 12 employees, which command a total cost (including benefits) of $335k per year. Upon acquisition, the Real Estate Company intends to reduce this number to seven, lowering payroll expense to $261k per year. In addition to the payroll savings from closing the kitchen, G&A is projected to drop from the T-12 figure of $142k to $51k by year two as food and supplies associated with the kitchen will no longer be needed. Further, because electrical meters were recently installed in all units, significant utility savings are expected, projected to drop from $203k to $80k in year two. Electrical bills are currently being transferred to the residents upon move-out or renewal, with the number of units not being billed for electricity burning off over the next 10 months. Additionally, there is currently a studio unit that is being used as a leasing office that the Real Estate Company intends to convert to a rentable unit, and has budgeted $11.3k to do so. In order to maintain the quality of the Property and push reversion value, the Real Estate Company will capitalize $1,000,000 ($8,850 per unit) for capital improvements. Interior unit renovations of $475k ($4,204 per unit) are to include interior fixtures, black appliances, new flooring and new doors. Additionally, $377k ($3,334 per unit) has been capitalized for common area and exterior improvements, which will include carpentry repairs, amenity upgrades, and the studio conversion. The CapEx budget also contains a $101k contingency (~11%), and a $48k construction management fee (5%). The Real Estate Company does not anticipate a renovation premium or mark-to-market rental increase as part of the business plan. The business plan calls for a 3 year hold, at which point the Property is intended to be sold at a 6.75% cap rate for $12.9 million ($113,807 per unit).
Below is a summary of the capital improvements budget:
Exterior/Common Area Renovations | Amount | Per Unit |
---|---|---|
Carpentry Repairs | $25,600 | $227 |
Studio Conversion | $11,275 | $100 |
Stamped Concrete Repairs | $2,380 | $21 |
Breezeway Carpet Replacement | $83,875 | $742 |

Market Overview
According to CoStar, the Dallas-Fort Worth apartment market has performed well over the past few years. This is largely thanks to exceptional demand driven by some of the best in-migration and employment growth in the country. Last year, the region added 130,000 new residents, more than any other metro in the country. The same can be said for employment; North Texas added just over 100,000 new jobs, second only to the NYC metro. For a sense of scale, with just over 700,000 units, Dallas-Fort Worth is the third largest market in the United States, with assets valued at just over $95.8 billion dollars.
Dallas-Fort Worth’s diversified economy should continue to hum right along. Abundant job opportunities have spurred significant population growth due to in-migration. Population growth in the metroplex is more than double the U.S. average and has topped the nation over the past few years. Net migration continues to rank among the highest in the country, exceeding the highs from the past cycle. This in-migration continues to help spur growth in office-using and industrial-based employment growth alike. Employment growth should remain stronger than the national benchmark over the next five years. D-FW's affordability, location, and quality of labor continue to attract major employers. The cost of business is an obvious consideration for any company looking to expand or relocate, and for companies weighing the metroplex against major coastal cities like Boston or San Francisco, the price differential can be substantial. Business costs in D-FW are roughly even with the national average, while costs in many coastal cities are more than 20% above that.
Per Axiometrics, effective rent increased 1.7% from $1,148 in 1Q19 to $1,167 in 2Q19, and annual effective rent growth was 1.4% in 2018. Annual effective rent growth is forecast to be 2.3% from 2019 to 2022. Annual effective rent growth has averaged 2.2% since 1Q95. The market's annual rent growth rate was below the national average of 2.7%. The market's occupancy rate increased from 94.4% in 1Q19 to 94.7% in 2Q19, and was down from 94.8% a year ago. The market's occupancy rate is expected to be 94.6% in 2019, and average 93.8% from 2020 to 2022. The market's occupancy rate has averaged 93.9% since 1Q95.
Submarket Overview
Garland is a primarily blue-collar submarket, just east of the path of demographic and office-using employment growth north from Dallas. Nevertheless, from a development or investment perspective, the submarket offers plenty to like. Population growth has mirrored the metro average, the recently completed LBJ TEXpress Lanes give commuters better access to employment nodes to the west, and both Garland and Rowlett are working with developers to build up their respective downtown areas.
Per Axiometrics, effective rent increased 5.5% from $989 in 1Q19 to $1,043 in 2Q19. The submarket's annual rent growth rate of 4.0% was above the market average of 1.4% in 2018. Annual effective rent growth is forecast to be 3.9% from 2019 to 2022. The annual effective rent growth has averaged 2.9% per year since 1Q95. The submarket's occupancy rate increased from 95.1% in 1Q19 to 95.2% in 2Q19, and was down from 96.2% a year ago. The submarket's occupancy rate was above the market average of 94.7% in 2Q19. For the forecast period, the submarket's occupancy rate is expected to be 95.2% in 2019 and average 94.8% from 2020 to 2022. The submarket's occupancy rate has averaged 94.8% since 1Q95.

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.
Non-Transferability of Securities
The transferability of membership interests in The Company 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 interests. There is also no public market for the investment interests and none is expected to be available in the future. Moreover, the estimated investment holding period described herein is only a projection, and there can be no assurance when or if an investment may be liquidated. 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.
Capital Call Risk
The amount of capital that may be required by the Target from the Company is unknown, and although the Target does not require that the Company and its members contribute additional capital to it, it may from time to time request additional funds in the form of loans or sell additional equity. The Company does not intend to participate in a capital call if one is requested by the Target, and in such event the manager of the Target may accept additional contributions from other members of Target or from new members. In the event that the manager of Target advances any capital on behalf of the Company, it will be deemed to be a manager loan at an interest rate that cannot be determined at this time. Amounts that are contributed by existing or new members will be deemed to be additional capital contributions, in which case the Company's interest in Target will potentially suffer a proportionate amount of dilution.
Escrow Contingency
All funds from investors will be held in a non-interest-bearing escrow account with Broker-Dealer as escrow agent for the benefit of the investors in accordance with Rule 15c2-4 under the Exchange Act. All investor funds will be transmitted directly by wire or electronic funds transfer via ACH to the escrow account maintained by the escrow agent per the instructions in the Subscription Agreement. Upon certification by Broker-Dealer and acceptance by the Company that all contingencies have been met, the investor’s funds will be promptly transmitted to the Company. If the contingencies fail to be satisfied during the offering period, we will instruct the Broker-Dealer to return all funds to the investors without interest, deduction, or setoff, and all of the obligations of the investor hereunder shall terminate.
Floating Interest Rate
The loan being used to acquire the Property is expected to have a floating rate based on the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). If LIBOR increases the interest payments due on the loan are expected to increase as well. This could adversely affect the Property’s financial results or business operations and thus the value of the Company’s investment.
Apartment Complex - Competition
Competition in the Property’s local market area is significant and may affect the Property’s occupancy levels, rental rates and operating expenses. The Property will compete with other residential alternatives to attract tenants, including but not limited to other apartment units that are currently available for rent, new apartments that are built and condominiums/houses that are for rent or sale. If development of apartment complexes by other operators were to increase, due to increases in availability of funds for investment or other reasons, then competition with the Property could intensify. If the Property is not able to successfully compete with the competitive residential alternatives in the local or regional area this could adversely affect the ability of Target Entity to sell the Property, rent its units as necessary to maintain occupancy, and/or to increase or maintain unit rental rates.
Renovation Risks
The Property was 95% occupied as of September 2019, and the Target intends to implement a capital improvement plan involving the interior and exterior renovation of the Property, and a leasing program in its effort to add value to the Property. The Target intends to renovate all or some of the units within the Property and increase the current rental rates of such renovated units. There can be no assurance that, (i) the renovations will be consummated on a timely basis, (ii) the renovations will be completed satisfactorily, (iii) such work will not materially adversely affect other aspects of the operation of the Property, and (iv) the planned rental rate increase will have favorable results to meet the goals the Target projected. Any delays or negative results of the renovation work or rental increase efforts could adversely affect the Property’s financial results or occupancy levels, including its business operations and thus the value of the Company’s investment.
Texas Hurricane Risk
Texas is subject to frequent and sometimes debilitating natural disasters including but not limited to coastal hurricanes. There can be no assurance that hurricanes and flooding within the state, or any other environmental factor, will not cause significant difficulties and disruptions in the daily operation of the Property, or that Real Estate Company and the Target are properly insured for any such damage caused to the Property or its business operations. As a result, the business and financial condition of the Target, and thus the Company and its investors, may be materially adversely affected.
Interest-Only Loan Period
The loan being used to acquire the Property is expected to have an interest-only period during the first 3 years of the loan term, which means that there will be no reduction in the principal balance during that interest-only period.
