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.

Market Overview:
Following several woes during the second half of this cycle, Houston’s economy is facing another test. Rent growth was flat on a trailing three-month basis as of March. After COVID-19 pushed oil prices to an 18-year low, the energy sector was hit hard and many of the metro’s jobs were impacted. With unemployment claims across the state skyrocketing, Houston’s economy will likely continue to contract. Last year, Houston gained 88,000 new jobs, with trade, transportation, and utilities (20.3 percent) accounting for the largest share of the employment base. Despite job growth in the metro surpassing the 1.8 percent U.S. rate by 100 basis points last year, the statewide stay-at-home order has impacted all sectors. Although construction was deemed essential, many contractors temporarily closed their doors, and supply chains were disrupted. An encouraging sign came from the Small Business Administration, which approved loans across Texas totaling nearly $22 billion—more than any other state—through April 13. The Paycheck Protection Program is a lifeline for small businesses struggling to remain open because of the health crisis. Investor appetite remained high during the first quarter of 2020, following last year’s $4.8 billion total transaction volume. The high number of completions during the past five years combined with the robust development pipeline and the effects of the pandemic will likely keep rent growth flat.
Submarket Overview:
The Garden Oaks Submarket is an excellent submarket fundamentals with limited supply in the immediate area, with only 2 apartments under construction. The submarket has experienced occupancy growth of 3.7% over the last year with forecasts projecting rate growth to continue upward. The population within a 3-mile radius has grown 15% between 2010 - 2019 and is projected to increase 7.6% in the next five years. Within a 3-mile radius, the average household income is $93,048 and the average home value is $406,000.

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.
Monument Property Management intends to make distributions from RM Investors, LLC as follows:
- To the Investors, pari passu, all operating cash flows to an 8.0% preferred return;
- 70% / 30% (70% to Investors / 30% to Promote) of excess cash flow thereafter.
Monument Property Management intends to make distributions to investors after the payment of both company's liabilities (loan payments, operating expenses, and other fees as more specifically set forth in the LLC agreements, in addition to any member loans or returns due on member loan).
Distributions are expected to start in September 2021 and are projected to continue on a quarterly basis thereafter. Distributions are at the discretion of Monument Property Management, who may decide to delay distributions for any reason, including maintenance or capital reserves.
