The submarket has seen less than 500 units constructed over the last 30 years. Interior renovations and common area upgrades will bring the Property to a modern finish and expand the potential renter base due to the limited options of modernized buildings in the submarket. Comparable properties of newer vintages in the area have a large gap to in-place rents at Upland. Parkton has a $400+ premium to the Property. This large gap in rents shows the upside potential at the Property.
The previous owner successfully won a tax appeal in the state of GA. Due to tax code 299C, the Property will not be reassessed for 2 additional years. The Real Estate Company's tax professionals believe they will be able to keep the current valuation without being reassessed on the transaction. This gives ZMR an attractive tax basis for the first 2 years of ownership.
Due to favorable debt markets, Upland Townhomes has the unique ability to use debt to fund all capital expenditures at the Property. The ZMR team plans to make significant renovations to bring the Property to a higher level of quality. The scope of renovations can be reduced at no penalty and unused CapEx can be extinguished at the end of the future funding period.

The above bios and track record were provided by ZMR Capital and have not been independently verified by RealtyMogul.
Due to the low amount of development in the area and the high barrier to entry in this market, Upland Townhomes is a prime target for a value-add renovation. The Property will be able to compete with newer construction in the area, by bringing the units to a more modern renovation level. ZMR has identified the building as a target acquisition ready for significant upgrades to both the interiors and exterior. These upgrades will bring an attractive townhome-style building with modern finishes to a market that has not seen development over the last 30 years.
The renovation plan will include:
- Interior: Upgraded appliances in the kitchen, vinyl plank flooring, new carpet, updated fixtures, new cabinets, W/D appliances, and an updated bathroom.
- The planned upgrades will both modernize the interior and have a more appealing use of space for the cabinets and countertops.
- Exterior: A clubhouse amenity space and additional common area upgrades including a picnic area, dog park, and upgraded landscaping will be added to bring the Property more in line with newer vintage competitors in the area

The expected terms of the debt financing are as follows:
- Lender: HGI Commercial
- Term: 3 + 1 + 1
- Loan-to-Cost: 75%
- Estimated Proceeds: $36,130,000
- Interest Type: Floating
- Spread Above One-Month Libor: 3.25% Floor of 0.25%
- Interest-Only Period: Term
- Amortization: None
- Prepayment Terms: 24 Months interest then no prepayment penalty
- Extension Requirements: Property having a minimum underwritten 6.75% debt yield extension test for the 1st extension and 7.0% debt yield extension test for the 2nd extension.
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.
ZMR Capital intends to make distributions from Upland RM, LLC as follows:
- To the Investors, pari passu, all operating cash flows to an 8.0% IRR;
- 80% / 20% (80% to Investors / 20% to Promote) to a 12.0% IRR;
- 70% / 30% (70% to Investors / 30% to Promote) to a 15.0% IRR;
- 65% / 35% (65% to Investors / 35% to Promote) of excess cash flow thereafter.
ZMR Capital 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 November 2021 and are projected to continue on a quarterly basis thereafter. Distributions are at the discretion of ZMR Capital, who may decide to delay distributions for any reason, including maintenance or capital reserves. ZMR Capital will receive a promote as indicated above, and a portion of this promote may be received by RM Admin, LLC.

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").

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.
