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.

Also, the master lease (please see the FAQs for more information on master leases) for the majority of the retail is currently paying $6.63 per square foot when market is around $35.00 per square foot according to the recent CBRE appraisal. The current retail situation allows the Property potential upside with in place rents being under market. There is a lack of upgraded office space in the Broughton Street area.

The Property is located in Historic Downtown Savannah, the largest National Historic Landmark District in the United States. Its historic architecture, cobblestone streets, manicured gardens and live oak-shaded squares decorated by fountains and sculpture make it one of the most beautiful cities in the world. In addition, it is a very walkable city, thanks to the urban plan laid by General Oglethorpe in 1733. Many Savannah urbanites claim the City’s lush squares as their front yards. Not only is it walkable, you can take your cocktails to go as you stroll through this neighborhood and visit the shops, cafes, art galleries and museums. Downtown Savannah is alive with residents, tourists, business people and students and is never short on activities. Downtown Savannah forms the city’s governmental, financial and cultural hub. Area hotels are reporting occupancy around 70% as a result of a strong tourism industry. Savannah’s Historic District encompasses a 2.5-square-mile area with 2,358 architecturally or historically significant buildings. Approximately 85% to 90% of these buildings have been restored and with the support of the Savannah Development and Renewal Authority (SDRA), more restoration projects are planned.
Atlanta developer, Ben Carter, announced his plan for The Broughton Street Collection in early 2014. This $75 million project, funded in part by Acadia Realty Trust (NYSE: AKR), was aimed at revitalizing historic Broughton Street. Currently, this project contains 37 properties totaling about 700,000 square feet. About a third is ground-floor retail, another third is office space and the remainder is apartments. The Subject property is in the heart of this revitalization at the true "main & main", Bull and Broughton Streets.
The Savannah College of Art and Design (“SCAD”) is a large institute of higher learning, located in downtown Savannah. The institution offers a variety of degree programs, with roughly 8,000 students, including roughly 10% international students. SCAD plays a vital economic role to the regional economy, as one of the largest employers in the region. The school is comprised of over 60 facilities, totaling 1.5 million square feet of space in Savannah’s downtown neighborhoods.
Along the south side of the Savannah River is River Street, which extends about 10 blocks and is one of the major tourist attractions in Savannah. The subject has a prominent location, just south of the central portion of River Street. This cobblestone river walk features over 100 retail, restaurant/bar, and hotel uses, occupancy historic storefronts. Retailers include candy shops, art galleries and apparel and gift stores. Restaurants and bars range from the Chart House to Wet Willies, home of the “world’s greatest daiquiris”. Inns and hotels include charming bed and breakfasts in restored inns to the Hyatt Regency Savannah and the Savannah Marriott Riverfront.
A couple of blocks south from River Street is City Market where art studios, galleries and specialty shops occupy a restored two-block market square. In addition, the development includes some upper level office uses as well as street level restaurants.

Market Overview
According to CBRE, the makeup of Savannah’s employment is changing and doing so swiftly. Professional and business services employment growth has raced ahead of the pack, growing 12.3% year-over-year, while mining, construction, and government job growth has trended downward. This is a boon for Savannah’s increasing number of millennials, who as a group are more likely to be employed in one of these growing number of professional and business services jobs. Since 2010, Savannah’s population has seen the percentage of millennials jump from 23% to 26%. By 2020, millennials could make up over a third of Savannah’s population. As the number of jobs in the professional and business service sector increases along with the labor force to fill them, Savannah’s office market could begin to heat up—especially in the urban core of the city where millennials are more likely to reside.
Submarket Overview
According to CBRE, office space in the revitalized heart of Historic Downtown Savannah does not come cheap. Asking office rents in area are $25.00 per square foot - 25% higher than the average for downtown Savannah.

The above presentation is based upon information supplied by the Sponsor or others. Realty Mogul, Co., RM Manager, LLC, and Realty Mogul 59, LLC, along with their respective affiliates, officers, directors or representatives (the "RM Parties") hereby advise you that none of them has independently confirmed or verified any of the information contained herein. The RM Parties further make no representations as to the accuracy or completeness of any such information and undertake no obligation now or in the future to update or correct this presentation or any information contained herein.
Sponsor's Lack of Office Investment History
Sponsor has no prior experience with acquiring and operating an office property. However, the Principals combine for over $1 billion of development, acquisition, leasing, management and financing experience across all commercial product types. The Principals have a deep history in the Savannah market with site selection, predevelopment and preleasing of a 330,000 square foot office building and a 75,000 square foot medical office building. Investors should consider the experience of Sponsor prior to making an investment decision.
Lease-up Risks
The Property currently has a 53% occupancy level, and the Sponsor intends to implement a capital improvement plan and a leasing program in its effort to significantly increase that occupancy level. There can be no assurance that such renovations will be consummated on a timely basis, that such work will not materially adversely affect other aspects of the operation of the Property, or that the planned lease-up program will result in the Property increasing its occupancy level at rental rates in line with those projected. Any delays or adverse effects of such renovation work or lease-up efforts could adversely affect the Property’s financial results or business operations and thus the value of Realty Mogul 59, LLC's investment.
Although the Sponsor believes that comparable properties are currently achieving rental rates that are in line with those expected from the Property, there can be no assurance that such increased occupancy levels or rental rates will be achieved. Failure to realize such increased rental rates could adversely affect the Property’s financial results or business operations and thus the value of the Realty Mogul 59, LLC's investment.
Flood Risk
Savannah, Georgia is located near the Savannah River, which can be subject to sometimes destructive floods. It is uncertain if the Sponsor Entity intends to procure flood insurance for the Property. There can be no assurance that a sizable flood will not cause significant damage to the Property, in which case the business and financial condition of the Sponsor Entity, and thus the Company, would be materially adversely affected.
Office Properties
Office buildings are subject to market forces affecting supply and demand just like other types of commercial space, but the economic drivers for office space are sometimes different than those for other real estate investments.
Rents and valuations for offices are primarily influenced not just by employment growth but also by a region’s economic focus. Office properties are especially influenced by specific types of employment -- namely, sectors with very high proportions of office use. These economic segments are generally those that utilize service and professional employees such as attorneys, accountants, engineers, insurance personnel, real estate brokers and related service providers (like title and escrow providers), and people working in banking, financial services, consulting, medical, dental, and pharmaceutical fields.
Office space tends to be leased for relatively long periods, with tenants often having the option to renew leases for additional terms. This means that office properties often have leases that can lag current market lease rates, and an appropriate “step-up” of rental rates may not be able to be imposed until a lease expires.
Economic downturns can affect office buildings more than residential buildings, since businesses can go bankrupt even while people continue to need housing. Re-leases of office space can often require significant lead time to consummate.
Retail Center Competition
Competition in the Property’s local market area is significant and may affect the Property’s occupancy levels, rental rates and operating expenses. In addition, internet-based retailing presents significant competition to certain types of retailers. If development of retail centers by other operators were to increase due to increases in availability of funds for investment or other reasons, or if internet-based retailing continues to draw consumers away from making purchases of goods and/or services of the types offered by tenants of the Property (or if it decreases the prices that such consumers are willing to pay for such goods and/or services), then this competition with the Property and its tenants could cause the value of the Property and the cash flow from the Property to decrease.
Tenants’ Loss of Revenues Could Reduce the Sponsor Entity’s Cash Flow
Tenants of the Property may encounter significant macroeconomic, governmental and competitive forces. Adverse changes in consumer spending or consumer preferences for particular goods, services or store-based retailing could severely impact these tenants’ ability to pay rent. The default, financial distress, bankruptcy or liquidation of one or more of the Property’s tenants could cause substantial vacancies, which would likely reduce Capital Bull Street, LLC‘s revenues, increase property expenses and could decrease the value of the Property. Upon the expiration of a lease, the tenant may choose not to renew the lease and/or Capital Bull Street, LLC may not be able to re-lease the vacant space at a comparable lease rate or without incurring additional expenditures in connection with such renewal or re-leasing.
Vacancies and Tenant Defaults May Reduce the Property’s Revenues
A vacancy or default of a tenant on its rent will cause the Capital Bull Street, LLC to lose the revenue from that unit and, if enough effective vacancies occur, it could cause the Capital Bull Street, LLC to have to find an alternative source of revenue to meet any loan payments and other operating expenses for a particular property and it may not be possible to have to find a viable alternative source of revenue. If the company managing the investment property does not employ sufficiently aggressive marketing campaigns and/or lease incentive programs, vacancies may increase and an investment in the Realty Mogul 59, LLC may be adversely affected.
Interest Only Loan
The loan being used to acquire the Property is expected to have an interest-only period during the first two years of the term, which means that there will be no reduction in the principal balance during that interest-only period.
Forward-Looking Statements
Investors should not rely on any forward-looking statements made regarding this opportunity, because such statements are inherently uncertain and involve risks. We use words such as “anticipated”, “projected”, “forecasted”, “estimated”, “prospective”, “believes”, “expects”, “plans”, “future”, “intends”, “should”, “can”, “could”, “might”, “potential”, “continue”, “may”, “will” and similar expressions to identify these forward-looking statements.
Illiquid Investment - Transfer Restrictions & No Public Market
The transferability of membership interests in Realty Mogul 59, LLC are restricted both by the operating agreement for that entity and by U.S. federal and state securities laws. In general, investors will not be able to sell or transfer their interests. There is also no public market for the investment interests and none is expected to be available in the future. Persons should not invest if they require any of their investment to be liquid. This is particularly important for persons of retirement age, who should plan carefully to assure that their assets last throughout retirement.
Uncertainty Surrounding Future Sales Price
There is risk associated with the Sponsor being unable to sell the Property as projected.
Interest Rate Risk
The Federal Reserve has methodically reduced the amount of stimulus it was earlier injecting into the U.S. economy, and has signaled that increases in the federal funds rate may be forthcoming. This could potentially lead to rising interest rates offered by other lenders and could have a negative effect on the future value of the Property (since higher loan interest rates might mean that potential buyers would face proportionately higher debt service expenses).
Mortgage Risk
The Sponsor has a signed term sheet with a lender to provide the debt financing for the acquisition of the Property, but there can be no assurance that the lender will complete financing on the rates and terms included in the underwriting being presented in the model for this investment opportunity. All rates and terms of the debt financing are subject to final lender committee approval, including but not limited to a modification in lender held capital reserve requirements that may result in a corresponding movement of certain funds currently projected as being held in a Sponsor controlled capital escrow account.
A refinancing is expected to be in the form of a permanent loan to be obtained on the Property. The loan is expected to be for a fixed rate, to have a seven year term and to amortize on a 25-year schedule. There can be no assurance that the Property will be able to obtain such refinancing on a timely or favorable basis, and any failure to obtain financing on the terms anticipated may adversely affect the Property’s financial condition or results of operations and thus the value of the Realty Mogul 59, LLC’s investment.
Management Risk
Investors will be relying solely on the managers of Turtle Crossing Sponsor, LLC (the entity holding indirect title to the property that SunCap 8 - Turtle Crossing, LLC has invested in) for the execution of its business plan. That manager in turn may rely on other key personnel with relevant experience and knowledge, including contractors and consultants. Members of SunCap 8 - Turtle Crossing, LLC (including Realty Mogul 69, LLC) will agree to indemnify the manager in certain circumstances, which may result in a financial burden if any litigation results from the execution of the business plan.
Manager of Realty Mogul 69, LLC Will Participate in Sponsors' Promote Interest
The manager of Realty Mogul 69, LLC will be entitled to a participation in the value of any excess distributable cash flow and any appreciation of the Property realized upon its sale. This could lead to a potential conflict of interest between the manager and Realty Mogul 69, LLC. Investors must recognize and agree to waive and bear the risk of this conflict of interest.
Uncertain Distributions
The Sponsor cannot offer any assurances that there will be sufficient cash available to make distributions to its members (including Realty Mogul 69, LLC) from either net cash from operations or proceeds from the sale or refinancing of the asset. Sponsor, in its discretion, may retain any portion of such funds for tenant improvements, tenant refurbishments and other lease-up costs or for working capital reserves. Sponsor has chosen to make distributions quarterly.
Risk of Interest Charges for Sponsor Capital Calls
The amount of capital that may be required by Turtle Crossing, LLC, Turtle Crossing Sponsor, LLC and SunCap 8 - Turtle Crossing, LLC from Realty Mogul 69, LLC is unknown, and although Sun Cap 8 - Turtle Crossing, LLC does not require that its members contribute additional capital to it, it may from time to time request additional funds in the form of loans or additional capital. Realty Mogul 69, LLC does not intend to participate in a capital call if one is requested by SunCap 8 - Turtle Crossing, LLC, and in such event the manager of SunCap 8 - Turtle Crossing, LLC may accept additional contributions from other members of SunCap 8 - Turtle Crossing, LLC. Amounts that the manager of SunCap 8 - Turtle Crossing, LLC advances on behalf of Realty Mogul 69, LLC will be deemed to be a manager loan at an expected interest rate of 10%. Amounts that are contributed by existing or new members will be deemed to be additional capital contributions, in which case Realty Mogul 69, LLC's interest in SunCap 8 - Turtle Crossing, LLC will suffer a proportionate amount of dilution.
Uncertain Exit Timing
Although it is anticipated that the Property will be sold at the end of the expected five (5) year hold period, Realty Mogul 69, LLC will not have full control over the timing of the sale of the Property, and therefore we cannot offer assurances of when the exit will occur. If the Property is not sold after ten (10) years, Realty Mogul 69, LLC may have the right (either at that point or at a later time), subject to other contractual limitations such as the loan on the Property and the requirements of the operating agreement of SunCap 8 - Turtle Crossing, LLC, to force a sale of the Property or force a sale of the interests of Realty Mogul 69, LLC in SunCap 8 - Turtle Crossing, LLC.
General Economic and Market Risks
While the Sponsor has conducted significant research to justify the intended rental rates and sales price relative to comparable properties in the market, its best efforts to forecast economic conditions cannot state for certain whether or not rental rates will be achieved or investor sentiment and the capital markets will be favorable to the Property at the intended disposition date. The real estate market is affected by many factors, such as general economic conditions, the availability of financing, interest rates and other factors, including supply and demand for real estate investments, all of which are beyond the control of the Sponsor.
