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 Property is located in Castleton, IN, an inner ring suburb of Indianapolis adjacent to the Ivy Hills subdivision where median home value is around $400,000.
High quality renovations should allow the Property to compete with newer product in the rental market while offering larger floor plans at a lower price than the competitive set.
The Property’s current asking rents are lower than most of the competing properties in this local rental market and comparable properties are achieving higher rents with smaller units. This indicates room for rent premiums once renovations are completed.

Veridian Castleton (the "Property") is an apartment community located in Castleton, IN, an infill submarket of the Indianapolis metro area. It is close to robust retail including Castleton Square Mall, a hospital campus and employment districts. The Real Estate Company believes the Property can capture rent premiums ranging from $125-$250 through their interior and exterior renovation plan. High quality renovations should allow the Property to compete with newer product in the rental market by offering a lower price while boasting larger floor plans than the competitive set. The Real Estate Company will also enhance the amenities onsite to help draw in more potential tenants.
The Property was acquired by its current owners with an aggressive plan to upgrade the Property and realize the benefits of its location, large units, spacious grounds and great schools. They completed some interior improvements but did not put the finishing touches on the exterior improvements or add the necessary amenities for the Property to realize its full potential. The Real Estate Company sees an opportunity to complete the improvements and realize the benefits left by the current ownership.

(1) RM Technologies operates the RealtyMogul platform. RM Technologies charges a fixed, non-percentage-based fee for real estate companies to use the marketplace. An estimate of this fee is included in the Transactional Costs and is intended to be capitalized into the transaction at the discretion of the Manager.
The expected terms of the debt financing are as follows:
- Lender: Capital One
- Term: 15 years
- LTV: 77.00%
- Total Estimated Proceeds: $34,265,000
- Estimated Rate (Fixed): 3.64%
- Interest Only: 7 years
- Amortization: 30 years
- Loan Origination Fee: 1.00% of Loan Proceeds
There can be no assurance that a lender will provide debt on the rates and terms noted above, or at all. All rates and terms of the debt financing are subject to lender approval, including but not limited to possible increases in capital reserve requirements for funds to be held in a lender-controlled capital reserve account.
A substantial portion of the total acquisition for the Property will be paid with borrowed funds. The use of borrowed money to acquire real estate is referred to as leveraging. Leveraging increases the funds available for investment or development purposes, on the one hand, but also increases the risk of loss on the other. If the Company were unable to pay the payments on the borrowed funds (called a "default"), the lender might foreclose, and the Company could lose its investment in its property.
GSH Group intends to make distributions from Veridian Domestic Investors, LLC as follows:
1. To the Investors, pari passu, all operating cash flows to a 9.5% preferred return
2. 65% / 35% (65% to Investors / 35% to Promote) of excess operating cash flows
Note: These distributions will occur after the payment of the Company's liabilities (loan payments, operating expenses and other fees as set forth in the LLC agreement, in addition to any member loans or returns due on member loans).
Distributions are expected to start in August 2021 and are projected to continue on a quarterly basis thereafter. These distributions are at the discretion of GSH Group, who may decide to delay distributions for any reason, including maintenance or capital reserves.

NO ASSURANCE OF RETURN: The Company's pro-forma projections are based on assumptions regarding future events, such as the timing and extent of the recovery of the residential market and the stabilization of the debt markets. While the Manager believes that these assumptions are reasonable and achievable, the likelihood of its occurrence is subject to many factors that are not within the control of the Company or its Manager and that could impair the ability of the Company to meet its projections.

The preceding summary of principal terms of the offering is qualified in its entirety by reference to the more complete information about the offering contained in the offering documents, including, without limitation, the Private Placement Memorandum, Operating Agreement, Subscription Agreement and all exhibits and other documents attached thereto or referenced therein (collectively, the "Investment Documents"). This summary is not complete, and each prospective investor should carefully read all of the Investment Documents and any supplements thereto, copies of which are available by clicking the links above or upon request, before deciding whether to make an investment. In the event of an inconsistency between the preceding summary and the Investment Documents, investors should rely on the content of the Investment Documents.
There can be no assurance that the methodology used for calculating targeted IRR is appropriate or adequate. Target IRR is presented solely for the purpose of providing insight into the Investment Entity’s investment objectives, detailing its anticipated risk and reward characteristics and for establishing a benchmark for future evaluation of the Investment Entity’s performance. Targeted IRR is not a predictor, projection or guarantee of future performance. There can be no assurance that the Investment Entity’s targets will be met or that the Investment Entity will be successful in identifying and investing in investment opportunities that would allow the Investment Entity to meet these return parameters. Target returns should not be used as a primary basis for an investor’s decision to invest in the Investment Entity. Please see the applicable Investment Documents for disclosure relating to forward-looking statements.
All forward–looking statements attributable to the Sponsor or persons acting on its behalf apply only as of the date of the offering and are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements included elsewhere in this summary and the Investment Documents. Any financial projections are preliminary and subject to change; the Sponsor undertakes no obligation to update or revise these forward–looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that arise after the date made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. Inevitably, some assumptions will not materialize, and unanticipated events and circumstances may affect the ultimate financial results. Projections are inherently subject to substantial and numerous uncertainties and to a wide variety of significant business, economic and competitive risks, and the assumptions underlying the projections may be inaccurate in any material respect. Therefore, the actual results achieved may vary significantly from the forecasts, and the variations may be material.
The interests in the Investment Entity will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) in reliance upon exemptions contained in Rule 506(b) or 506(c) of Regulation D as promulgated under the Securities Act. In addition, the interests will not be registered under any state securities laws in reliance on exemptions from registration. Such interests are subject to restrictions on transferability and resale and may not be transferred or resold except as permitted under applicable state and federal securities laws pursuant to registration or an available exemption.
All investing activities risk the loss of capital. There can be no assurance that investors will not suffer significant losses. No guarantee or representation is made that investment objectives of the Investment Entity will be achieved. You should not subscribe to purchase interests in the Investment Entity unless you can readily bear the consequences of such loss.
Interests in the Investment Entity are listed on the RealtyMogul Platform. RealtyMogul receives fees from the Sponsor or the Investment Entity partially based on the number of investors investing in such Investment Entity through the RealtyMogul Platform. This arrangement could create a conflict of interest between RealtyMogul and investors.
