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 company’s vision is to create value for its clients through acquiring and developing properties in the most desirable locations. From the beginning Clear Height has been driven by the belief that, “the work they do is a reflection of who they are.” That belief is what guides them in providing a transparent, dependable and entrepreneurial atmosphere for their team members, clients, and partners.
Acquisition
Clear Height, along with its partners, has developed a system designed to handle all aspects of real estate opportunities to allow for quick valuations, short due diligence, and “cash” closings. Their acumen and balance sheet gives them a competitive advantage in the market place to source the type of projects they are looking to invest in. With a heavy focus on industrial real estate opportunities, Clear Height is seeking value-add investments that are underperforming, distressed, and entrepreneurial in nature. In order to take advantage of these opportunists, they are experienced and capable of handling note purchases, build-to-suits, short-sales, portfolio sales and other opportunities.
Property Management
Clear Height’s property management group understands that each asset has its own specific financial objectives. With their approach to managing properties, they are able to provide customer service to their tenants, all while keeping a healthy bottom-line. Believing that tenant retention is the key to superb property management, their tenants have come to appreciate the high-touch they provide, and with most requests being handled within 24 hours. In addition, their team focuses on tenant relations, occupancy target levels, increased rental performance and an overall better understanding of a tenant's needs and how they compare with the owner's goals. They take this a step further with a proactive approach to lowering operating costs without sacrificing service to the tenants.
Asset Management
Clear Height’s asset management group looks to help investors receive measurable returns with their real estate holdings. Clear Height researches and evaluates the most optimal operational strategies for each asset with a focus on maximizing property values while mitigating risk.

In this transaction, RealtyMogul.com investors will invest in Realty Mogul 58, LLC. Realty Mogul 58, LLC will subsequently invest in CHP Bloomingdale Real Estate, LLC, the entity that will hold title to the Property.
Clear Height Properties (the "Sponsor") believes the upside potential of this investment is the result of an absentee owner reluctant to spend the capital necessary to maximize leasing, along with poor maintenance and expense management by the existing third party manager.
Current vacancy at the Property of 14.5% is well above the 4% level seen across the submarket, and while existing leases at the Property average $6.88 per square foot, comparable leasing in the submarket is achieving average rents over $8.00 per square foot.
The Sponsor's business plan entails stabilizing the Property and enhancing net operating income by re-leasing the remaining vacant suites and increasing to market the currently below market leases as they expire. The Sponsor also intends to enhance the overall operations of the Property through improved management, and by leveraging the economies of scale provided by their local industrial portfolio of approximately one million square feet.
RealtyMogul.com, along with Clear Height Properties (the "Sponsor"), is providing the opportunity to invest in the acquisition and ownership of a 104,419 square foot, flex-industrial property located in Glendale Heights, IL within the Chicago MSA (the "Property").
The primary objective of this investment is to acquire the Property below replacement cost, stabilize occupancy through tenant retention and acquisition, bring rents up to market, and sell the Property within approximately five (5) years.
The Sponsor sees this investment as an opportunity to capitalize on an under managed asset in a market where they are an owner and manager of twenty industrial assets totaling approximately one million square feet.
Clear Height Properties is a dba for SFP Commercial Real Estate, LLC
Built in 1980, this 85.5% occupied flex-industrial asset is comprised of 104,419 square feet across two buildings that have been subdivided into 16 suites ranging in size from 1,107 to 14,794 square feet. The majority of the suites contain a mix of both warehouse and office space (office build-outs range from 0-100% and average 26%). The Property is equipped with 17 exterior docks, 14 drive-in doors, has estimated clear heights of 15 feet, and features 200 surface parking spaces (1.91 spaces per 1,000 square feet). It also enjoys five access points that provide the necessary space for truck maneuverability.

The Property is located in the Glendale Industrial Park of Glendale Heights, IL approximately 29 miles west of the Chicago CBD in the Central DuPage submarket. Situated on a hard corner less than three miles west of I-355, the Property's main intersection (Bloomingdale Road/Brandon Drive) receives a daily traffic count of 27,300 cars per day (CoStar - 2014). The depth of this industrial pocket of the Central DuPage submarket is due to its proximity to Interstate 355, which is the primary north-south artery in the region. There is minimal inventory in Glendale Industrial Park that competes with this product.
Market Overview
As one of the three largest industrial markets in the U.S., Chicago remains the most influential industrial market in the Midwest due to its growing prominence as an inland port and its diverse, comparatively low-cost labor force. Chicago’s strategic location and transportation infrastructure make it one of the most important transportation centers in the country.
Submarket Overview
According to NAI Capital: As of Q3 2015, the mature Central DuPage Submarket has long been favored by users and both private and public investors for its relatively low property taxes, well-educated workforce and access to Metropolitan Chicago’s arterial roads and interstate system. Users in the Central DuPage submarket vary by type and are not limited to primarily distribution like other nearby submarkets. This diversified economy has grown over the past few decades and as a result there are very few vacant land sites that remain available for infill development. The Central DuPage submarket vacancy rate decreased 38 basis points from the previous quarter to the current rate of 4.01%. This submarket has the lowest vacancy rate throughout the Chicago metropolitan industrial market.

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 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.
No Reliance on Forward-Looking Statements; Sponsor AssumptionsSponsor is solely responsible for statements made concerning forward-looking statements and Assumptions, which apply only as of the date made, are preliminary and subject to change, and are expressly qualified in their entirety by the disclosures and cautionary statements included in Sponsor’s Investment Documents, which you should carefully review. 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.

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”).
