(1) The above biography and track record were provided by the Sponsor and have not been independently verified by RM Technologies, LLC or its affiliates. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Please carefully review the Disclaimers section below.
These two self-storage properties are newly built; the Sponsor bought them from the original developer before the assets are fully stabilized. The Sponsor has closed on the acquisition of the Properties and the loan with Trustmark Bank. The plan is to stabilize the Properties and operate them for full value over several years. This is a great opportunity to participate in two Class A self-storage facilities as most of these are held by REITs and access for individual investors to participate at the project level is limited.
The management of both facilities will be overseen by Hickory. Hickory has experience managing assets in both Texas and Louisiana. Prescott invested with Hickory in two assets in 2021, one in Thibodaux, Louisiana, and the other in Junction City, Kansas. The Properties are already outperforming underwriting. Hickory is a strong operator that looks for operational efficiencies and cost reductions. One of the largest fees that will be removed is marketing Click Fees, which range between $100 to $150 per renter. This fee is applied when a renter finds a unit on the internet. For instance, if ownership gains a total of 40 renters in a month that were generated online, the Click Fee would total $4,000 to $6,000 for that month.
The Sponsor plans to increase economic occupancy through marking rents to market, retail and insurance policy sales, implementing search engine optimization, and using a revenue management system at both properties to monitor rental rates in respective markets and price units in real-time at the most competitive rates. The Sponsor will also market and lease the 3,500 SF of retail space in the Metairie asset at competitive rates ranging from $18.00 to $20.00 per SF NNN. Leasing brokers have already been hired.
The portfolio is comprised of a total of 1,869 units of which 819 (77,969 SF) are in Houston, TX and 1,050 (97,000 SF) in Metairie, LA. All units in both Properties are climate-controlled. Both facilities are among the largest, best quality, and most visible within their respective submarkets. In the Metairie asset, there is also 3,500 SF of rentable retail space that is planned to be leased within two years. The main thesis in the business plan is to mark rents to market as both properties are currently rented at rates materially below market.
| Property | Units | Total SF | Current Eff. Rent PSF | Proforma Rent (Year Four) |
| Houston | 819 | 77,969 | $1.30 | $1.90 |
| Metairie | 1,050 | 97,000 | $1.37 | $1.90 |
| Total/Averages | 1,869 | 174,969 | $1.34 | $1.90 |

TX Market Overview
The Houston facility is roughly eight miles west of Downtown Houston on the north side of the affluent Spring Valley neighborhood. The facility fronts on Bingle Road, a 4-lane north/south primary artery. It is in Harris County, which is part of the nine-county Houston MSA and is the 3rd most populous county in the US. The 3-mile radius from the property echoes this density with a population of 140,628 individuals, while the population within the 5-mile radius is 400,482 individuals. The current saturation within a 3-mile radius is calculated to be 9.4 SF of self-storage space per capita -- being below 10 SF is a clear advantage -- supported by no new self-storage in the development pipeline in this market. Neighborhoods serviced by this facility include Spring Valley, Spring Branch East, Hunters Creek Village, Bunker Hill Village, and Piney Point Village. These neighborhoods are among Houston’s most affluent.
TX Submarket Overview
In Houston, the competitive local submarket has approximately 12,167 self-storage units (over 1,370,000 SF) in a 3-mile radius including the Property. The subject Property is one of the newer, if not the newest, property in the submarket, and as it is 100% climate-controlled it has an advantage over several competitors. It should be one of the market leaders in rate and occupancy when fully stabilized (both physically and economically). Additionally, the unit mix offered at the property is optimal for the needs of self-storage users in the area. In the Property’s submarket, 78% of the total square footage is over 18 years old, therefore, being a new facility, the subject Property is strongly favored by local self-storage users. It offers its tenants superior amenities including a covered unloading area with an access-controlled entrance, spacious management office, 21 24-hour video surveillance cameras, two access-controlled freight elevators, full building intercom system, ambient music, and security lighting throughout.
LA Market Overview
The facility in Metairie is just eight miles northwest of New Orleans. It is an institutional-quality asset that has prominent visibility and ease of access along North Causeway Boulevard, a major 5-lane thoroughfare that connects New Orleans to Mandeville. In fact, this self-storage facility benefits from direct exposure to over 80,000 vehicles per day. Metairie is a densely populated area that was recently ranked the 5th largest Census Designated Place (CDP) in the US. The 3-mile radius from the property has a population density of 118,461 individuals, while the population within the 5-mile radius is about 268,790 individuals. According to Yardi Matrix, the current saturation within a 3-mile radius is estimated at only 7.3 SF of self-storage space per capita, with 57% of the total square footage being over 15 years old. Communities serviced by the facility include Bucktown, West End, Bonnabel Place, as well as a variety of other affluent and upper-middle-class Metairie neighborhoods. Market demand is expected to continue to be strong due to the lack of basements and garages in residential properties in the New Orleans area, which would otherwise serve as storage space.
LA Submarket Overview
The Metairie Property is across the street from the Lakeside Shopping Center; a well-occupied and well-performing mall owned by New York-based Feil Group and anchored by JC Penny, Macy’s, and Dillard’s. The competitive local submarket has approximately 5,700 self-storage units (~622,000 SF) within the 2-mile radius including the Property. The subject property is one of the newer, if not the newest, property in the submarket, and as it is 100% climate-controlled it has an advantage over several competitors. Due to the amenities and location of the property, it should be one of the market leaders in rate and occupancy when fully stabilized. Additionally, the unit mix offered at the property is optimal for the needs of self-storage users in the area. There is no new self-storage in the development pipeline in this submarket and the submarket’s occupancy is 90%.

No Approval, Opinion or Representation, or Warranty by RM Technologies, LLC or it Affiliates
The information on this Page, including the 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”) was provided by the Sponsor or an affiliate thereof.

Sponsor’s Information Qualified by Investment Documents
The Information on this Page, including of the principal terms of the Sponsor’s offering, 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 each prospective investor should carefully read all of the Investment Documents and any supplements thereto, copies of which are available by clicking the links above or upon request, before deciding whether to make an investment. The information on this page should not be used as a primary basis for an investor’s decision to invest. In the event of an inconsistency between the information on this Page and the Investment Documents, investors should rely on the information contained in the Investment Documents. The information on this Page and the information in the Investment Documents are subject to last minute changes up to the closing date at the sole discretion of the Sponsor and its affiliates.
Risk of Investment
This real estate investment is speculative and involves substantial risk. There can be no assurances that all or any of the assumptions will be true or that actual performance will bear any relation to the hypothetical illustrations herein, and no guarantee or representation is made that investment objectives of the Sponsor will be achieved. In the event that actual performance is below the Sponsor’s Targets, your investment could be materially and adversely affected, and there can be no assurance that investors will not suffer significant losses. 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. Please see the Sponsor’s Investment Documents for additional information, including the Sponsor’s discussion concerning risk factors.
Risk of Forward-Looking Statements
Forward-looking statements are found here and in the applicable Investment Documents and may include words like “expects,” “intends,” “anticipates,” “estimates” and other similar words. These statements are intended to convey the Project Sponsor’s projections or expectations as of the date made. These statements are inherently subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties. Please see the applicable Investment Documents for disclosure relating to forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements attributable to the Sponsor or its affiliates apply only as of the date of the offering and are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements included elsewhere in 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.
Sponsor’s use of Debt
A substantial portion of the total acquisition for the Property will be paid with borrowed funds, i.e., debt. 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 the annual interest rate and possible increases in capital reserve requirements for funds to be held in a lender-controlled capital reserve account. 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.
In addition, unless the debt provides for a fixed rate of interest during the term of the loan and/or any subsequent extensions, the total amount of interest paid over the term of the debt will increase by the same amount as the related index. For example, if the index rate increases by 0.50% (50 basis points) the interest rate on the loan will increase by the same amount. The amount of such interest rate increases may be capped either by its terms or as the result of the Sponsor entering into an arrangement that caps the interest rate with respect to the debt at a particular rate.
Sponsor’s Offering is Not Registered
The interests offered by the Sponsor 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 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 Private Placements on the RealtyMogul Platform are intended solely for “Accredited Investors,” as that term is defined Rule 501(a) of the Securities Act. Prospective investors must certify that they are Accredited Investors and provide either certain supporting documents or third party verification, and must acknowledge that they have received and read all investment materials.
RM Technologies, LLC Fees and Conflicts
RM Technologies, LLC, an affiliate of RealtyMogul, operates the RealtyMogul Platform. RM Technologies, LLC charges a fixed, non-percentage-based licensing fee for real estate companies and their sponsors to license and use the RM Technologies LLC’s proprietary Platform, including one-time flat licensing fees for its Technology Solution and an ongoing quarterly flat licensing fees for its Administration Solution. An estimate of the Technology Solution licensing fee is included in the Closing Costs above and is intended to be capitalized into the transaction at the discretion of the Sponsor. The licensing fees received by RM Technologies, LLC are disclosed in the relevant operating agreement(s). Additionally, from time to time, employees of RM Technologies, LL C and its affiliates invest in Sponsor’s offering. RM Technologies LLC’s receipt of licensing fees and its employee’s investments in Sponsor’s offering creates a conflict of interest between RealtyMogul and its affiliates, and investors or prospective investors.
No Investment Advice
RealtyMogul and RM Technologies, LLC are not a registered broker-dealer, investment adviser or crowdfunding portal. Nothing on this Page should not be regarded as investment advice, either on behalf of 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.
