The team at our affiliated broker-dealer, RM Securities, conducts diligence on of the issuer, including detailed background checks, criminal checks, bad actor checks, and reference checks on sponsors. In addition to screening for any criminal background, we may also turn down sponsors due to poor reference checks, even if the background and criminal checks are satisfactory.
We require unaffiliated sponsors to use an unaffiliated third-party escrow agent.* When an investor makes an investment with such 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 contingency 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.
Unless otherwise disclosed, escrow accounts are not required for some investments that accommodate 1031 investments where the property is already acquired.
Our processes typically includes visiting certain properties (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. For certain properties that accommodate 1031 exchange investments, the team will review third-party prepared due diligence reports in lieu of a site visit.
We have formalized processes and checklists for every private placement deal listed on the platform.
The Real Estate Company is highly experienced, having owned and operated more than 2,500 multifamily units. Additionally, the company is a repeat partner of RealtyMogul, with the partnership's only full cycle transaction achieving a 31.8% IRR earlier this year.
The area enjoys a strong demographic profile, with a population of 213,027 and median household income of $112,109 within a one-mile radius (according to CoStar). Additionally, Fremont has averaged 7.2% annual rent growth and 96.9% occupancy since 2011 (according to Axiometrics).
With in-place rents 15% below the average rent in the Fremont submarket (according to Axiometrics), there is attractive renovation premium potential. The Real Estate Company has a $4 million renovation budget to capture this premium.

Market Overview
Per CoStar, strong fundamentals in the market have triggered a wave of new multifamily construction. New apartments completed so far in the development cycle have been absorbed at a healthy rate. Vacancy rates are still trending near the 10-year historical average, despite more than 2,000 units being delivered over the past 12 months. However, with mounting levels of multifamily development set to reach completion over the next several years, CoStar’s forecast model calls for a moderately rising market vacancy rate with supply growth outpacing absorption.
Per Axiometrics, effective rent increased 1.6% from $2,326 in 1Q19 to $2,363 in 2Q19, and annual effective rent growth was 2.4% in 2018. Annual effective rent growth is forecast to be 2.6% in 2019, and average 2.2% from 2020 to 2024. Annual effective rent growth has averaged 4.8% since 1Q05. The market's annual rent growth rate was above the national average of 2.8% since 1Q05. The market's occupancy rate increased from 96.1% in 1Q19 to 96.4% in 2Q19, and was up from 96.1% a year ago. The market's occupancy rate is expected to be 96.3% in 2019, and average 96.0% from 2020 to 2024. The market's occupancy rate has averaged 96.1% since 1Q05.
Subarket Overview
The submarket is home to the Tesla Motors factory, the last major automaker producing cars in California, which makes it one of the industrial centers of the market. In addition to convenient freeway access, the submarket is serviced by eight BART stations providing residents with a number of accessible commuting options. New development will continue for the next few years as the submarket trails only Downtown Oakland in units under construction in the metro. More than 40% of submarket residents do rent, and a steady need for apartments throughout the metro has led to relatively tight vacancies and steady rent growth in recent years.
Per Axiometrics, effective rent increased 1.7% from $2,405 in 1Q19 to $2,447 in 2Q19. The submarket's annual rent growth rate of 2.8% was above the market average of 2.4% in 2018. Annual effective rent growth is forecast to be 2.5% in 2019, and average 2.0% from 2020 to 2024. The annual effective rent growth has averaged 5.4% per year since 1Q05. The submarket's occupancy rate increased from 96.8% in 1Q19 to 97.0% in 2Q19, and was up from 96.6% a year ago. The submarket's occupancy rate was above the market average of 96.4% in 2Q19. For the forecast period, the submarket's occupancy rate is expected to be 96.7% in 2019 and average 96.5% from 2020 to 2024. The submarket's occupancy rate has averaged 96.7% since 1Q05. Additionally, Yardi forecasts average annual rent growth of 3.2% over the next 10 years.

The Fees paid to us will directly or indirectly be borne by you as the investor (typically, but not always, in the form of an expense of the Sponsor’s offering in which you invest) because such Fees will reduce the proceeds available for distribution to you and reduce the amount you earn over time.
For more information on the Fees paid to us, or any other Fees you will pay in connection with Sponsor’s offering, please carefully review the Sponsor’s Investment Documents. Please also carefully review RM Securities’ Form CRS, Regulation Best Interest Disclosures, and Limited Brokerage Services Agreement.

The Investment Documents linked on this page have been prepared and posted by Sponsor, and not by RM Securities. We did not assist in preparing, do not adopt or endorse, and we are not otherwise responsible for, the Sponsor’s Investment Documents. We make no representations or warranties as to the accuracy of information on this Page or in the Sponsor’s Investment Documents and we accept no liability therefor. No part of the information on this Page or in the Sponsor’s Investment Documents is intended to be binding on us.
Sponsor’s Information Qualified by Investment DocumentsThe information on this Page is qualified in its entirety by reference to the more complete information about the offering contained in the Sponsor’s Investment Documents. The information on this Page is not complete and subject to change at the Sponsor’s discretion at any time up to the closing date. The Sponsor’s Investment Documents and supplements thereto contain important information about the Sponsor’s offering including relevant investment objectives, the business plan, risks, charges, expenses, and other information, which you should consider carefully before investing. The information on this Page should not be used as a basis for an investor’s decision to invest.
Risk of InvestmentThis investment is speculative, highly illiquid, and involves substantial risk. There can be no assurances that all or any of Sponsor’s assumptions, expectations, estimates, goals, hypothetical illustrations, or other aspects of Sponsor’s business plans (“Assumptions”) will be true or that actual performance will bear any relation to Sponsor’s Assumptions, and no guarantee or representation is made that Sponsor’s Assumptions will be achieved. If Sponsor does not achieve its Assumptions, your investment could be materially and adversely affected. A loss of part or all of the principal value of your investment may occur. You should not invest unless you can readily bear the consequences of such loss. Sponsor’s Assumptions should not be relied upon as the primary basis for your decision to invest.

Neither RM Securities nor Sponsor are obligated to update or revise such forward-looking statements or Assumptions to reflect events or circumstances that arise after the date made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. Sponsor’s forward-looking statements and Assumptions are hypothetical, not based on actual investment achievements or events, and are presented solely for purposes of providing insight into the Sponsor’s investment objectives, detailing Sponsor’s anticipated risk and reward characteristics, and establishing a benchmark for future evaluation of actual results; therefore, they are not a predictor, projection, or guarantee of future results.

No Reliance on Past PerformanceAny description of past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance and should not be relied upon as the primary basis to invest.
Sponsor’s Use of DebtA substantial portion of the total cost of the real estate asset acquired by the Sponsor with investor funds (“Property”) will be paid with borrowed funds, i.e., debt. Sponsor’s estimated rates and terms of the debt financing are subject to lender approval, and there is no assurance that the Sponsor will secure debt at the rates and terms presented on this Page or in the Sponsor’s Investment Documents, or at all. The use of borrowed money to acquire real estate is referred to as leveraging, which can amplify losses and could result in lender foreclosure. In addition, if the debt includes a variable (or “floating”) interest rate, the total amount of interest paid over the term of the debt will fluctuate and can increase. As a result, Sponsor’s use of debt can result in a loss of some or all of your investment.
Sponsor’s Offering is Not RegisteredSponsor’s securities offering will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), in reliance upon the exemptions from registration pursuant to Rule 506(c) of Regulation D as promulgated under the Securities Act (“Private Placement”).
