The GSH Group (“The Sponsor") is a real estate investment company focused on class B/workforce housing across the United States. The leadership team has over 40 years of combined experience and the company has over $1 billion assets under management(1), made up of 8,333 multifamily units(2), inclusive of partner legacy assets.
With demonstrated experience as advisors, managers, and resolving problem loans, GSH is attuned to the needs and processing of Special Servicers for the quick disposition of assets. The Sponsor employs a tactical strategy for value creation. Value enhancement is approached from multiple angles and scenarios. These include, but are not limited to, organic rental growth due to market inefficiencies, rent premiums generated through unit upgrades, and decreasing expenses through management efficiencies.
GSH uses applicable, real-time software to help manage all assets on a minute-by-minute basis. Using real-time data, they can effectively keep all projects on track to ensure the business plan's proper implementation. Additionally, GSH is vertically integrated, employing an affiliated general contractor and construction team to ensure projects stay on budget and on time.
(1) Portfolio value includes an assumed value based on current T1/T12 financials and a capitalization rate of 5.00%. This includes certain legacy properties owned and managed by partners.
(2) Units include legacy units owned by the partners as well as units sold.

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. 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.
GSH Group intends to make distributions from Laurel Pines Domestic Investors, LLC as follows:
1. To the Investors, pari passu, all operating cash flows to a 10.0% 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 September 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.

*Returns are net of all fees including RM Admin's 1.0% administrative services fee.
PLEASE NOTE: Estimated distributions and returns include the assumption of property refinancing in April 2024. There is no assurance of said refinance and could affect the distributions and returns if it does not take place as expected.
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.

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.

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.
