FORMALIZED DUE DILIGENCE PROCESS 
Sponsors

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.

Escrow accounts

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.

Boots on the ground

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.

Detailed Checklists

We have formalized processes and checklists for every private placement deal listed on the platform.

Investment Returns: Discerning investors don't rely on a single projected return metric as a basis to invest. Rather, when assessing a potential investment, we encourage you to evaluate all information provided by a sponsor including the business plan, assumptions, and risk factors which can be found in the relevant offering documents. This approach is consistent with our requirements as a broker-dealer, which prohibit us from communicating projected returns.

Overview
FreeUp Storage DFW Portfolio includes 18 locations of non-climate controlled (NCC) and climate-controlled (CC) storage spread over 5,046 units in Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) and east Texas.
Cash Flow

The FreeUp Storage DFW Portfolio provides investors with projected day 1 cash flow and additional upside potential. Currently, the Portfolio is realizing an 87% physical occupancy, and 80% economic occupancy. Year to date performance has been strong but in-place rents are below market. Spartan Investment Group's current presence in various Dallas and East Texas markets offers the opportunity to achieve operational efficiencies and streamline the performance of the Portfolio while increasing occupancy through targeted marketing strategies.

Demographics

Over 1.3 million people have moved to DFW over the past 10 years fueling demand for storage. Texas, and specifically DFW, have seen extraordinarily high volumes of new population growth due in part to the suburbanization trends that have been playing out all across the country. The DFW area ranked 2nd in the country in 2020 for single-family construction permits and for the past twelve years, Texas has been the #1 destination for companies leaving California. 10 of the 14 properties are located in counties that are in the 90th percentile of highest net migration across the state of Texas.

Value-Add

While a total of 250,000+ square feet of expansion is possible, Spartan Investment Group conservatively underwrote a collective 160,000 square feet of expansion at five of the 18 sites based on feasibility analyses, projected new supply, and market fundamentals.

Current # of Storage Units 5,046
# of Units Post Expansion 6,120

Construction Completion Date August 2023
Acquisition Price $88,500,000
Current Physical Occupancy 87%
Investment Highlights
Spartan Investment Group or SIG (the "Real Estate Company") is under contract to purchase the Portfolio for $88,500,000, representing an acquisition cap rate of 5.00%.
Value-adding opportunities, not including the expansions, represent a 26.5% increase in NOI over the first 20 months of the hold period.
The 160,000 square feet of self-storage expansions will result in a 21.8% return-on-cost for the newly developed units, once stabilized.
The targeted annual cash flows are between 5.2% and 7.7%.
The Portfolio is located across eight counties, five of which are in the 90th percentile across the state of Texas for the highest net population migration.
Self-Storage has proved to be a recession-proof asset class needed during economic downturns as well as during an economic expansion. Its increased demand has resulted in continuous cap rate compression. Market guidance is that the Portfolio, when stabilized, would trade between 4.75%-5.25% and SIG has estimated a terminal valuation based on a 5.35% capitalization rate.

Location Information

Market Overview

The DFW area (Dallas, Fort Worth, and Arlington Metropolitan Statistical Area or MSA) covers 9,286 square miles as the 4th largest MSA in the United States with a population of 7.4 million, and the 12th largest MSA in the world. From 2010 to 2019 the Dallas Metro gained 1.3 million residents, ranking 1st among all U.S. MSA’s. 

From 2020 to 2029, the Dallas Metro is projected to add 1.4 million residents, and once again rank among the fastest-growing metro areas. The DFW MSA is the headquarters for 21 Fortune 1000 companies including AT&T, Dr Pepper Snapple Group, Exxon Mobil, Neiman Marcus Group LTD, Inc., and Texas Instruments, Inc. A 2019 report by the nonprofit Walton Family Foundation (of Walmart family fame) ranks Dallas-Fort Worth as the 27th most dynamic MSA and 6th among all major metro areas. There are more than 3 million jobs within Dallas-Fort Worth. In 2019, Inc. Magazine ranked Dallas in the top 10 hottest startup cities in America. The Dallas-Fort Worth area ranked 2nd in the country in 2020 for single-family construction permits. 

For the past twelve years, Texas has been the #1 destination for companies leaving California. Nearly 100 businesses have recently relocated their headquarters to the Dallas-Fort Worth Metro or are planning to relocate their headquarters to the Dallas Metro. These include Caterpillar, Wayfair, Google, Samsung, and Charles Schwab. Google’s massive $600 million data center, spread across 375-acres, is currently under construction. Samsung recently consolidated operations within the Dallas Metro, bringing 1,000 jobs to the area. Additionally, Charles Schwab’s new campus in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metro will cost $100 million and will cover 70 acres. From a macro perspective, Dallas ranks #1 in the country for total job growth and for percent job growth. In 2019, Forbes ranked the Dallas-Fort Worth Metro area the #2 fastest growing economy. Dallas is home to three global 25 companies, with only Beijing hosting more. No other global metro hosts more than one. The Dallas-Fort Worth Metro also hosts 23 Fortune 500 companies, 3rd in the nation among all metros. There is a 4% lower cost of doing business than the national average. 

Submarket Overview

Encompassing three MSAs - Longview, Texarkana, and Tyler - and the 12-county Texas Forest Country region, east Texas offers strong advantages for healthcare, manufacturing, distribution, and food processing operations. 

Fueling the region’s growth is a highly skilled and educated workforce that continues to grow thanks to a wealth of educational opportunities and superb lifestyle assets. World-class real estate also abounds from massive industrial sites to cutting-edge biomedical research parks. The region’s robust interstate infrastructure provides easy links along the NAFTA corridor, linking Mexico and Canada to East and West Coast destinations. Union Pacific Railroad, one of the nation’s largest railroads, has major nodes in the region offering businesses efficient access to key ports and distribution centers. In 2019, Express Employment Professionals conducted an east Texas Employment Survey in partnership with the Tyler Area Chamber of Commerce and the Tyler Economic Development Council. While this survey was conducted prior to the economic disruption caused by COVID-19, the results represent a positive trending sentiment based on responses from 400 businesses on 12 straightforward questions, as seen on page 17 of the OM.

There can be no assurance that the Sponsor will secure debt on the rates and terms noted above, or at all.  All of the Sponsor’s estimated 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 risk of loss.  If the Sponsor were unable to pay the payments on the borrowed funds (called a "default"), the lender might foreclose, and the Sponsor could lose its investment in its property.

(1) Fees may be deferred to reduce impact to investor distributions.

(2) RM Technologies, LLC, an affiliate of RealtyMogul, operates the RealtyMogul Platform.  RM Technologies, LLC charges a fixed, non-percentage-based fee for real estate companies and their sponsors to use the RM Technologies, LLC’s proprietary Platform and receive Platform-related services.  An estimate of this fee is included in the Closing Costs above and is intended to be capitalized into the transaction at the discretion of the Sponsor.  The Platform fees received by RM Technologies, LLC are disclosed in the relevant operating agreement(s).  RM Technologies LLC’s receipt of Platform fees creates a conflict of interest between RealtyMogul and its affiliates, and investors or prospective investors.

(3) RM Admin, an affiliate of RealtyMogul, charges an annual fixed administrative fee for providing certain ongoing administrative services to the Sponsor.  RM Admin’s administrative services and fees are disclosed in the relevant operating agreement(s). RM Admin’s receipt of administrative fees creates a conflict of interest between RealtyMogul and its affiliates, and investors or prospective investors.

(5) In no event will a "Financing Fee" be paid to an affiliate of the Sponsor when the "Financing Fees" have been or will be paid to an unaffiliated third-party debt broker

(6) At this time, Spartan does not anticipate earning either the Financing Fee or the Seller Brokerage Fee. The current primary course of action is to work with 3rd parties and award both of these fees to those 3rd parties

RM Securities, LLC and its Affiliates Compensation

RM Securities, LLC, its registered representatives, affiliates, associated persons, and personnel of its affiliates who may also be associated with it, including our associated persons and personnel of our affiliates who are also be associated with RM Securities, LLC (it (“RM Securities,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) will receive fees, expense reimbursements, and other compensation (“Fees”) from the issuer of this investment offering, its sponsor, or an affiliate thereof (“Sponsor”), or otherwise in connection with Sponsor’s offering. The Fees paid to us are in addition to other fees you will pay to Sponsor or in connection with Sponsor’s investment offering. You will pay Fees to Sponsor, either directly or indirectly as an investor in the Sponsor’s offering. Sponsor will use the Fees you pay, as well as funds you invest in the relevant offering, to compensate us. 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.

Sponsor has provided, approved, and is solely responsible in all aspects for the information on this webpage (“Page”), including Sponsor’s offering documentation, which may include without limitation the Private Placement Memorandum, Operating or Limited Partnership Agreement, Subscription Agreement, the Project Summary and all exhibits and other documents attached thereto or referenced therein (collectively, the “Investment Documents”). 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 Documents

The 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 Investment

This 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 Assumptions

Sponsor 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. You should not rely on Sponsor’s forward-looking statements as a basis to invest.

Importantly, we do not adopt, endorse, or provide any assurance of returns or as to the accuracy or reasonableness of Sponsor’s Assumptions or forward-looking statements.

No Reliance on Past Performance

Any 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 Debt

A 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 Registered

Sponsor’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”). In addition, the offering will not be registered under any state securities laws in reliance on exemptions from state registration. Such securities (your ownership 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 Private Placements on the Platform are intended solely for “Accredited Investors,” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act.

No Investment Advice

Nothing on this Page should be regarded as investment advice (either with respect to a particular security or regarding an overall investment strategy), a recommendation, an offer to sell, or a solicitation of or an offer to buy any security. Advice from a securities professional is strongly advised to understand and assess the risks associated with real estate or private placement investments. For additional information on RM Securities’ involvement in this offering, please carefully review the Sponsor’s Investment Documents, and RM Securities’ Form CRS, Regulation Best Interest Disclosures, and Limited Brokerage Services Agreement.

RM Securities and its affiliates make no representation or warranty of any kind with respect to the tax consequences of your investment or that the IRS will not challenge any such treatment. You should consult with and rely on your own tax advisor about the tax aspects with respect to your particular circumstances.
