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.
The Sponsor is Acquiring the Asset from an Unsophisticated Seller: The Seller is a local one-man operator who is leaving money on the table and has not optimally managed the asset. DMJ is purchasing the Property at a 5.6% cap rate, a steep discount to the 4.1% average market cap rates for comparable assets. Additionally, whereas DMJ is vertically integrated with a deep, experienced team, the Seller has only remodeled 19 of the 44 units.
Rehabbed Units are Already Outperforming: The Property’s 25 unrenovated units are significantly underperforming their market potential. Renovation premiums for the 19 remodeled units have led to rent increases as high as 60%. While DMJ will renovate units as quickly as is feasible, they have underwritten a rehab schedule of just one unit per month over the next two years. Investors should note that DMJ has underwritten zero rent growth for the first 12 months of the targeting holding period.
Attractive Debt Financing Will Mitigate Interest Rate Risk: The Sponsor is utilizing a leverage of 54.3% LTC and 64.4% LTV. The interest rate is fixed at 5.75%, which eliminates the risk of floating rate debt in a rising rate environment. Additionally, they are working with a relationship lender (a Credit Union) which provides for no-prepayment penalty and ensures maximum flexibility as they add value to the asset over time.

The Sponsor plans to execute a value-add opportunity to increase remaining rents by significantly enhancing the overall quality of the Property and continuing renovations to the interior and exterior of the buildings. 19 of the 44 units have already been fully remodeled to include in-unit washer and dryers. The Seller completed extensive capital expenditures and upgrades to the common areas to include new roofs, new dual pane windows, a new leasing office, and new landscaping, thus providing a strong foundation from which to continue the value-add program. The business plan includes renovating 3 units per quarter over the next 25 months to follow a more natural attrition and turnover of units.
The proposed improvement plan includes a full cosmetic renovation to the interior of the remaining 25 units including new cabinets, countertops, stainless steel appliances, LVT-type wood plank flooring, bathroom upgrades, new fixtures, doors, and paint throughout. In addition, the Sponsor will complete upgrades to the aesthetic design of the exterior meant to modernize the look and feel. The concept is to create a modern and best-in-class experience.
These improvements should assist with resident acquisition and retention while further differentiating the Property from area comps. Thus far, renovation premiums have led to an increase in rent by as much as 60% which is proven by previous renovations completed by the Seller. Neighboring rents on the street in unrenovated 1 BD/1BA units are going for $1,900 while renovated units less than 2 miles away are achieving pricing as high as $2,195. The Sponsor is modeling $1,995 in rent for 1 BD/1BA and will provide brand-new upgraded finishes at a similar price point as unrenovated units nearby.

The Property offers investors the opportunity to acquire a value-add opportunity with a business plan to carry out a “proven” strategy by increasing the remaining rents through continued renovations and repositioning of the units. This workforce housing community is located 11 miles east of downtown San Diego in a readily accessible and ideal location with quick access to Highway 94. It also is located in the path of progress, sitting directly adjacent to the Campo Road Revitalization Specific plan which just received unanimous approval from the County of San Diego Board of Supervisors.

Market Overview
The final jobs report for San Diego in 2022 released by California's Employment Development Department saw the region add 16,100 nonfarm jobs in November. The San Diego unemployment rate currently sits at 3.3%. The local unemployment rate bested both the State of California's 4% and the nation's 3.4%.
San Diego is also home to more than 140,000 active duty and civilian military employees. The defense industry accounts for more than 350,000 jobs in the region according to the San Diego Military Advisory Council. That is close to 25% of the economy. The Navy's renewed focus on the Pacific theater of operation will result in a 60/40 split between the Pacific and Atlantic fleets, further solidifying San Diego's status as a major Navy hub. It is also why San Diego has one of the largest concentrations of millennials in the country, accounting for 25% of the population.
While rents are up with 5.1% growth over the past year, that is coming off a peak of 14.0% on an annualized basis in early 2022. With moderation setting in, rents declined on a month-over-month basis during the last quarter of 2022 before stabilizing in January 2023. Rents rose 0.5% in January.
Submarket Overview
More affordable submarkets with workforce housing in the east, south, and north/east county of San Diego have been among the top performers in the past 12 months. Apartment landlords have little to worry about from homeownership pulling demand from apartment renters. Interest rates are rising which has made the purchase of a home more expensive. San Diego home prices have risen by 9.5% in the past 12 months through September, according to the Case-Shiller Home Price Index, which is keeping people locked into the rental market.
East County San Diego contains the largest concentration of apartment inventory in San Diego and is one of the most populated areas in the metro, helping sustain structurally low vacancy. In fact, the vacancy rate has averaged 3.0% over the past five years, and the present rate is 3.2%. East San Diego is one of San Diego's healthiest investment markets, and institutional-grade properties often sell. Value-add opportunities and higher cap rates relative to the metro continue to attract interest in the area's assets, even amid an environment with elevated interest rates.

RM Securities, LLC, its registered representatives, affiliates, associated persons, and personnel of its affiliates who may also be associated with it, including our associated persons and personnel of our affiliates who are also be associated with RM Securities, LLC (it (“RM Securities,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) will receive fees, expense reimbursements, and other compensation (“Fees”) from the issuer of this investment offering, its sponsor, or an affiliate thereof (“Sponsor”), or otherwise in connection with Sponsor’s offering. The Fees paid to us are in addition to other fees you will pay to Sponsor or in connection with Sponsor’s investment offering. You will pay Fees to Sponsor, either directly or indirectly as an investor in the Sponsor’s offering. Sponsor will use the Fees you pay, as well as funds you invest in the relevant offering, to compensate us. The Fees paid to us will directly or indirectly be borne by you as the investor (typically, but not always, in the form of an expense of the Sponsor’s offering in which you invest) because such Fees will reduce the proceeds available for distribution to you and reduce the amount you earn over time.
For more information on the Fees paid to us, or any other Fees you will pay in connection with Sponsor’s offering, please carefully review the Sponsor’s Investment Documents. Please also carefully review RM Securities’ Form CRS, Regulation Best Interest Disclosures, and Limited Brokerage Services Agreement.
No Approval, Opinion or Representation, or Warranty by RM Securities, LLCSponsor has provided, approved, and is solely responsible in all aspects for the information on this webpage (“Page”), including 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”). The Investment Documents linked on this page have been prepared and posted by Sponsor, and not by RM Securities. We did not assist in preparing, do not adopt or endorse, and we are not otherwise responsible for, the Sponsor’s Investment Documents. We make no representations or warranties as to the accuracy of information on this Page or in the Sponsor’s Investment Documents and we accept no liability therefor. No part of the information on this Page or in the Sponsor’s Investment Documents is intended to be binding on us.
Sponsor’s Information Qualified by Investment DocumentsThe information on this Page 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 subject to change at the Sponsor’s discretion at any time up to the closing date. The Sponsor’s Investment Documents and supplements thereto contain important information about the Sponsor’s offering including relevant investment objectives, the business plan, risks, charges, expenses, and other information, which you should consider carefully before investing. The information on this Page should not be used as a basis for an investor’s decision to invest.
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. If Sponsor does not achieve its Assumptions, your investment could be materially and adversely affected. 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. Sponsor’s Assumptions should not be relied upon as the primary basis for your decision to invest.
No Reliance on Forward-Looking Statements; Sponsor AssumptionsSponsor is solely responsible for statements made concerning forward-looking statements and Assumptions, which apply only as of the date made, are preliminary and subject to change, and are expressly qualified in their entirety by the disclosures and cautionary statements included in Sponsor’s Investment Documents, which you should carefully review. Neither RM Securities nor Sponsor are obligated to update or revise such forward-looking statements or Assumptions to reflect events or circumstances that arise after the date made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. Sponsor’s forward-looking statements and Assumptions are hypothetical, not based on actual investment achievements or events, and are presented solely for purposes of providing insight into the Sponsor’s investment objectives, detailing Sponsor’s anticipated risk and reward characteristics, and establishing a benchmark for future evaluation of actual results; therefore, they are not a predictor, projection, or guarantee of future results. You should not rely on Sponsor’s forward-looking statements as a basis to invest.
Importantly, we do not adopt, endorse, or provide any assurance of returns or as to the accuracy or reasonableness of Sponsor’s Assumptions or forward-looking statements.
No Reliance on Past PerformanceAny description of past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance and should not be relied upon as the primary basis to invest.
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.
Sponsor’s Offering is Not RegisteredSponsor’s securities offering 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 offering will not be registered under any state securities laws in reliance on exemptions from state registration. Such securities (your ownership 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 Platform are intended solely for “Accredited Investors,” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act.
No Investment AdviceNothing on this Page should be regarded as investment advice (either with respect to 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. Advice from a securities professional is strongly advised to understand and assess the risks associated with real estate or private placement investments. For additional information on RM Securities’ involvement in this offering, please carefully review the Sponsor’s Investment Documents, and RM Securities’ Form CRS, Regulation Best Interest Disclosures, and Limited Brokerage Services Agreement.
1031 Exchange RiskInternal Revenue Code Section 1031 (“Section 1031”) contains complex tax concepts and certain tax consequences may vary depending on the individual circumstances of each investor. RM Securities and its affiliates make no representation or warranty of any kind with respect to the tax consequences of your investment or that the IRS will not challenge any such treatment. You should consult with and rely on your own tax advisor about the tax aspects with respect to your particular circumstances.
