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.
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.
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.
We have formalized processes and checklists for every private placement deal listed on the platform.
Each La Vida project is surrounded by established residential housing. The locations for each project are prime sites in Tucson. Two of the projects are in northwest Tucson off of River Road at the base of the Catalina Foothills and the third project is located in the very successful Civano master-planned community on the southeast side of Tucson.
The build-for-rent market is one of the most desirable destinations for investments, especially in high growth geographies like Arizona. The lack of affordable housing coupled with increases in "rentorship" are driving demand for rental housing communities like La Vida.
The DSW team has identified small infill sites that can be built out quickly. The communities are expected to lease up quickly, allowing for rapid capital appreciation and ultimately a quick sale of the stabilized communities at an IRR projected to exceed 20% for investors.

DSW in conjunction with Deloache will develop residential build-for-rent infill housing projects in Tucson, AZ. The principals of this group have a long history of successful real estate development in Southern Arizona, across multiple asset classes. The development team will build small build-for-rent projects (30-50 units) in infill locations that are acquired, entitled, and programmed for development.
- La Vida at 1100 (River 1) is a 2.05-acre site located on River Road that will accommodate 29 rental units east of La Canada Road.
- La Vida at River & La Cholla (River 2) is a 4.11-acre site located on River Road that will accommodate 46 rental units east of La Cholla Road.
- Both 1100 W. River and River and La Cholla were recently successfully rezoned to allow high-density residential to accommodate the two development projects. These infill sites currently have a population of over 200,000 people within five miles. The quarterly vacancy rate in the target market ranges between 3.3% and 4.8%.
- Vida at Civano (Civano) is a 2.02-acre site located on Drexel Road, east of Houghton Road. The site will accommodate a 27-unit residential development. The Civano infill site currently has a population of 80,335 within five miles. The quarterly vacancy rate in the Civano target market is approximately 4.4%.
All the sites will have amenities not available in competitor properties, including garages and outdoor decks. In addition, the sites all have a desirable location and proximity to entertainment, shopping, restaurants, and proximity to the River Walk which is a recreational focal point in the metro area. DSW has engaged a civil engineer, a land planner, a land-use attorney, and an architectural firm to garner necessary approvals for the project. The engagement contracts have commenced for the consultants' work. Approved entitlements for the parcels and the requisite permits were received in January of 2022 for River I and River II.
The construction contract and budget have been recently approved and the lender has been chosen for the project. The loan is expected to fund and construction to start on the first of the projects (1100 W. River) in late February to early March of 2022, each subsequent project will start 60-90 days later. Total project construction for each one of the three projects is estimated at 9-12 months. Lease-up is expected to occur quickly for the units, and the Sponsor would then seek to sell the projects quickly - likely within a year after completion of construction).

DSW's three La Vida projects are build-for-rent communities ranging from 29 doors to 46 doors. Located in prime locations in Tucson, these projects are completely surrounded by quality residential housing with very low vacancy (4-5% approximately). All projects are completely entitled and are shovel-ready. The build-for-rent housing sector is considered to be one of the hottest investments in real estate today. One of DSW's top investor partners, G.S. Jaggi, is involved in these projects. Jaggi is considered one of the early pioneers of build-for-rent housing.

Market Overview
The Tucson apartment market has performed well throughout the pandemic. Vacancies were low heading into 2020 and were supported by limited single-family construction and steady employment and population growth. Tucson was not immune to the impact of the virus, but its recovery has been swift compared to other metro areas. Rents temporarily dipped during the onset of the pandemic but returned to pre-pandemic levels within months. The impressive performance is due to an influx of new residents that are able to work remotely and are searching for affordability in Tucson. Additionally, federal and state stimulus has gone a long way in Tucson, and with the aid, renters have been able to pay the rent. In the years before the pandemic, employment growth gained momentum following a long and slow recovery from the Great Recession. Tucson was attracting businesses that were generating quality jobs and supporting higher incomes. An acceleration in job growth and the large student renter pool supported apartment demand. Net absorption had outpaced new supply on an annual basis for most of the past decade, compressing vacancies near all-time lows. Sales volume reached a record high in 2020, and that momentum has carried into 2021. Tucson has been a liquid market for multifamily players, especially for its size. The market is expected to continue to attract opportunistic buyers looking for higher cap rates than can be realized in their home states. The expanding pull of out-of-state buyers has bolstered competition and pushed up pricing, which has squeezed out some of the local players in the market.
Submarket Overview
Two of DSW's projects are located in northern Tucson, specifically the Casas Adobes area. These submarkets have achieved the most significant rent growth and consist of affluent neighborhoods and command some of the highest rents in the metro. The other DSW project (Civano) is located in southeastern Tucson, specifically in the unique Civano neighborhood that was conceived in the late 1990's as a model for a sustainable community and originally envisioned as “Tucson’s Solar Community.” At the core of the neighborhood is the one-acre neighborhood center with a landscaped plaza. The neighborhood also features a neighborhood center, tennis court, two swimming pools, a shaded playground for tots, a community garden, an expansive nursery, and over 50 local businesses - including a dance studio, optometrist, naturopathic doctor, hair salon, fitness studio, cafe, and more. The project sits near a small community school (K-5) and middle school that are part of the highly ranking Vail School District.

Risk of InvestmentThis 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.

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.
