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.

The real estate company plans to acquire the Property with a loan of $24.3 million (or 68.3% LTC) from Washington Federal Bank. The underwritten base case is to hold the Property for seven years for cash flow as part of a "covered leasing play", meaning that investors can benefit from having a solid stream of cash flow, while having the potential to take back space from the tenant and re-lease it at a market rate that the market permits. According to the Real Estate Company, NV Energy is open to downsizing by 100,000 - 130,000 square feet, though this possibility is not considered in RealtyMogul's base case business plan. The property has been placed under contract in a true off-market transaction that the Real Estate Company negotiated over the course of a year. Given the low basis, there appears to be a large enough spread for a value-add buyer to step in, upgrade the Property, and re-lease it for a profit. The base case business plan assumes an exit value of $36.4 million ($125 per square foot). Per the Real Estate Company, replacement value exceeds $300 per square foot, and per CoStar, multiple office buildings in the market have traded above $400 per square foot. RealtyMogul feels particularly comfortable with the deal's downside protection, given that the Property could be sold in year seven at a 12.0% cap rate and still yield a positive IRR.

Market Overview
According to CBRE's market report for Las Vegas, the metro's average asking rents have been on an upward trajectory since 2017. The recent amount of construction deliveries remain sparse in comparison to historical averages for new office space. Much of this can be attributed to developers working strategically in the timing and location of their proposed developments, the diminishing inventory levels due to land prices, rising costs of construction and challenges encountered in financing new office projects. Amid current supply and minimal construction development, occupier demand continues to drive vacancy rates to record lows since 2011.
According to CoStar, the leisure and hospitality industry is a mainstay of the Las Vegas economy and is driven by the over 42 million people who have visited Las Vegas annually the past few years. However, the coronavirus pandemic has led to the closure of non-essential businesses, including hotels, restaurants, and other integral parts of the tourist industry. The closures have led to mass layoffs and increasing unemployment, and far fewer tourists are expected to visit Las Vegas during the pandemic.
The vacancy rate in the market stands at 10.4% and average NNN rent is $17.27 per square foot. The past 12 months have seen net absorption of 1,166,000 square feet, with 450,000 square feet delivered. In the past 12 months rent has grown at a rate of 1.0%.
Submarket Overview
The West Las Vegas Submarket stretches from just west of the Strip to the 215 Beltway, with the bulk of sizable assets along Sahara Avenue. Per CoStar, the submarket contains about 8 million square feet and makes up just over 10% of the metro’s office inventory. Similar to the market as a whole, elevated vacancy rates and limited rent growth have limited development this cycle. Overall positive absorption in recent years compressed vacancies to below their historical average. Rent growth continues to be solid but asking rents are still short of the historical peak.
The vacancy rate in the submarket stands at 9.5% and average NNN rent is $15.46 per square foot. The past 12 months have seen net absorption of 237,000 square feet, with 2,500 square feet delivered. In the past 12 months rent has grown at a rate of 1.6%.

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.
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.
Office Building Competition Risk
Office buildings are subject to market forces affecting supply and demand just like other types of commercial space, but the economic drivers for office space are sometimes different than those for other real estate investments. Rents and valuations for offices are primarily influenced not just by employment growth but also by a region’s economic focus. Office properties are especially influenced by specific types of employment -- namely, sectors with very high proportions of office use. These economic segments are generally those that utilize service and professional employees such as attorneys, accountants, engineers, insurance personnel, real estate brokers and related service providers (like title and escrow providers), and people working in banking, financial services, consulting, medical, dental, and pharmaceutical fields. Office space tends to be leased for relatively long periods, with tenants often having the option to renew leases for additional terms. This means that office properties often have leases that can lag current market lease rates, and an appropriate “step-up” of rental rates may not be able to be imposed until a lease expires. Economic downturns can affect office buildings more than residential buildings, since businesses can go bankrupt even while people continue to need housing. Re-leases of office space can often require significant lead time to consummate.
Uncertainty Surrounding Future Sales Price
There is risk associated with the Sponsor Entity being unable to sell the Property as projected. The Property is currently 100% occupied by a single tenant whose lease expires in January 2029. Although it is anticipated that the Property will be sold at the projected sales price, the expiration of the tenant’s lease within two years of the end of the expected 7-year holding period may limit the number of potential buyers and consequently affect the Property’s sales price.
Tenants’ Loss of Revenues Could Reduce the Sponsor Entity’s Cash Flow
The Property is currently 100% occupied by a single tenant whose lease expires in January 2029. The tenant may encounter significant macroeconomic, governmental and competitive forces. Adverse changes in consumer spending or consumer preferences for particular goods, services or store-based retailing, including the cost of living increase in the area, could severely impact the tenant’s ability to pay rent. The default, financial distress, bankruptcy or liquidation of the Property’s tenant may result in the Property becoming 100% vacant, which would likely reduce the Sponsor Entity’s revenues, increase property expenses and decrease the value of the Property.
Vacancies and Tenant Defaults May Reduce the Property’s Revenues
The Property is currently 100% occupied by a single tenant whose lease expires in January 2029. If the tenant vacates early or defaults on its rent, it will cause the Sponsor Entity to lose 100% of its revenue, and it could cause the Sponsor Entity to have to find an alternative source of revenue to meet any loan payments and other operating expenses. If the company managing the investment property does not employ sufficiently aggressive marketing campaigns and/or lease incentive programs, it may not be possible for the Sponsor Entity to find a viable alternative source of revenue and an investment in the Company may be adversely affected.
COVID-19 Risk
The COVID-19 pandemic may have a negative impact on the financial results and occupancy of the Property. In addition, due to the mandated stay-at-home and quarantine orders in effect throughout the United States to combat the COVID-19 pandemic, it is likely that the Property’s tenant will experience financial hardship and potential declines in operating revenue which may have a material and adverse effect on the Property’s financial results and thus the value of the Company’s investment.
