Risk and Quality Controls
Steps we take to mitigate risk on the Platform
Sponsors

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.

Escrow accounts

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.

Boots on the ground

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.

Detailed Checklists

We have robust quality controls with detailed checklists and a review of third-party reports.

Overview
Allesandro Apartments is a fully-entitled, 43-unit multifamily development located in the heart of Los Angeles. The Property will consist of large one- and two-bedroom units strategically positioned on the border of the burgeoning Echo Park and Silver Lake neighborhoods, ideally nestled between three of Southern California’s major arterials including I-5, US-101, and I-110.
Partner

Founded in 2004, A.J. Khair Construction, Inc. (‘A.J. Khair’ or ‘The Sponsor’) is a Southern California-based real estate development and construction firm specializing in multifamily, lodging, and commercial mixed-use developments including hotel rooms, retail space, and residences. A.J. Khair’s experience not only as a developer but also as a contractor provides the distinct advantage of identifying, planning, and constructing projects that are on-time and cost-effective.

In order to maintain its reputation as a principled developer, A.J. Khair works closely with public officials, local stakeholders, renowned architects, and carefully selected subcontractors with substantial experience and market expertise. Investors should note that the Sponsor recently completed a 60-unit multifamily apartment development less than 2 miles from the Property and has leased it to 96% occupancy since completion in June 2022.

Market

The Northeast Los Angeles Submarket has experienced relatively muted levels of construction which is a function of lack of available supply coupled with a challenging municipal process. The Northeast Los Angeles Submarket has seen just 754 units delivered over the course of the last six years which equates to just 3.8% of existing inventory. Absorption is projected to remain positive for every quarter through 2028, which will offset any currently planned or in-progress developments.

Given the high barriers to entry for new developments, Echo Park remains relatively unscathed by competitive supply, contributing to notable increases in home prices and rents. The neighborhood's strategic location offers a blend of a distinctive local ambiance plus proximity to public transportation, including the Metro Red Line, and employment hubs like DTLA and Hollywood.

Location

Well-Located New Development in a Dynamic Los Angeles Enclave: Allesandro Apartments (“The Property”) is a fully entitled, 43-unit multifamily project being developed at the intersection of two of the most dynamic and dense neighborhoods in Los Angeles, Echo Park and Silver Lake, which feature a growing population of 410,000+ individuals within a 3-mile radius. The Property will consist of large one- and two-bedroom units and sits proximate to three of Southern California’s major arterials: I-5, US-101, and I-110.

Investment Highlights
Attractive Target Return Profile: Based on a 36-month targeted holding period and 4.50% exit cap rate, the Project is expected to yield a target 23.4% IRR and 1.84x equity multiple for Class A Members net of certain offering expenses. Given their extensive experience in developing this product type in various submarkets across the Los Angeles metro area, the Sponsor is confident they can deliver an on-time, on-budget project.
Fully-Entitled Project: The Sponsor acquired the site in 2021 and has since completed the full entitlement process through the Los Angeles Planning Department. The Sponsor has received pricing based on 100% complete construction drawings (“CDs”) and is ready to break ground by year-end as all project permits are Ready-to-Issue (“RTI”). The Sponsor is in final negotiations on the GMAX with a third-party GC which will be finalized by closing.
Experienced Developer With 23 Completed Projects To Date: A.J. Khair Construction, Inc. has recent boots-on-the-ground development experience in the immediate submarket and the greater Los Angeles market. The Sponsor has completed 23 projects with an additional 5 in various pre-development stages comprising $433 million in cost since inception. The firm is both a developer and contractor, providing a distinct advantage of being able to navigate successfully through what has been a rising construction cost environment over the past five years. Investors should note that the Sponsor recently completed a 60-unit multifamily apartment development less than 2 miles from the Property, Solari Silverlake, and has leased it to 96% occupancy since completion in June 2022.
Skin In The Game With Attractive, Low Leveraged Financing Lined Up: Affiliates of A.J. Khair Construction will invest a minimum of $3 million dollars of equity into the Project by construction start and have secured attractive construction financing from Century Housing. The loan is full recourse (guaranteed by Sponsorship), demonstrating their firm commitment to the Project. It is also low leverage at 38.9% LTV and 58.9% LTC, offering investors an additional layer of downside protection. The proposed construction timeline is 24 months with projected completion in December 2025. Lease-up and stabilization are anticipated to occur within the following 12 months based on their recent experience in the supply-constrained submarket.
Supply-Constrained Submarket Benefits New Projects: The Northeast Los Angeles Submarket has seen muted levels of new construction, with just 754 units delivered over the course of the last six years (3.8% of existing inventory) per 2023 CoStar data. Absorption is projected to remain positive for the next several years, which should offset any currently planned or in-progress developments. Additionally, given the high barriers to entry for new developments, Echo Park is expected to see continued increases in home prices and rents.
Silver Lake and Echo Park Are Two of Los Angeles’ Most Vibrant Neighborhoods: As noted, the Property is located on the border of Silver Lake and Echo Park, a micro market within broader Northeast Los Angeles that spans several primarily residential neighborhoods nestled between Downtown L.A. and Glendale. The location provides easy access to many popular attractions and is also home to a variety of fashionable restaurants, bars, and shops – Echo Park and Silver Lake have both become established as celebrity magnets. The high cost of housing in the submarket has made it a renter-oriented community, with 75% of the housing units characterized as renter-occupied. The area is also very commuter-friendly, situated alongside major highways and other transit options. This makes it a convenient place to live for people who work in the city or the surrounding areas.
Top MSA: As the most populous county in the United States, the City of Los Angeles has a thriving apartment market. Its robust labor force, exceeding 6 million people, and the presence of over 290,000 businesses contributed to a staggering Metro area GDP of over $880 billion in 2022. With 23 Fortune 500 headquarters and continuous job and population growth, demand for multifamily assets in Los Angeles remains high, especially with international migration offsetting domestic population loss. The city's appeal to younger professionals further drives the demand for apartments, making Los Angeles a sought-after destination for housing in the competitive real estate landscape.

A.J. Khair Construction, Inc. (A.J. Khair) acquired the Property in 2021 and has since completed the full entitlement process through the Los Angeles Planning Department. The Sponsor has received pricing based on 100% complete construction drawings (CDs) and is ready to break ground once LP Equity is committed and funded as all project permits are RTI. The Sponsor is in final negotiations on the GMAX with the third-party GC which will be finalized by closing.

A.J. Khair and its affiliates will invest over $3 million dollars of equity into the Project by construction start and have secured attractive construction financing from Century Housing. The proposed construction timeline is 24 months (inclusive of four months of pre-development), with construction commencing in March 2024, and projected completion in December 2025. Lease-up and stabilization are anticipated to occur within the following 12 months based on their recent experience in the supply-constrained submarket. Based on a 36-month hold period and 4.50% exit cap rate, the Project is expected to yield a 27.3% levered IRR and 2.02x equity multiple at the project level and 23.4% IRR and 1.84x for Class A Members net of certain offering expenses.

The Sponsor's projected rental income rates are based on market rent comparables from CoStar and Axiometrics as well as the actual rents at Solari Silverlake. Solari Silverlake is the Sponsor's recently completed 60-unit property that is located less than 2 miles from the Allesandro development site. Solari has leased up to 96% occupancy as of July 10, 2023, at rates in line with the Sponsor's untrended projections for Allesandro Apartments. Given the team's extensive experience in developing this product type in various submarkets across the Los Angeles metro area, the Sponsor is confident they can deliver an on-time, on-budget project that will benefit both the community and investors.

Tourism continues to be an important driver of the local economy. Visitor counts to Los Angeles County reached over 40 million in 2021 and those tourists spent nearly $100 billion. Traditional tourist areas like Downtown, Hollywood, Beverly Hills, and Santa Monica continue to attract millions of visitors, and the development of the multibillion SoFi stadium has brought additional media attention. L.A. remains an entry point for international migration and an attractive destination for younger tech, entertainment, and professional workers.

The Los Angeles Metro has recently experienced significant capital inflows towards its media and technology industry, already well-known as the nation’s and the world’s number-one market for content production. Warner Bros. is investing billions of dollars in new studio space and production facilities in Los Angeles, as the company seeks to maintain its position as a major player in the global entertainment industry. In 2018, CBS sold CBS Television City to Hackman Capital Partners for $750 million. Hackman Capital Partners has plans to invest $1.25 billion in renovating and expanding the studio complex. The renovations are expected to be completed in 2025. Echelon at Old Sears is a proposed $450 million studio complex in Hollywood that would replace a shuttered Sears department store. The 6AM studio site in the Arts District in Los Angeles was previously planned to be a mixed-use development but is now being redeveloped into a film and television production campus. A $650 million studio complex is planned for downtown Los Angeles' Arts District, on the site of the former Los Angeles Times printing plant.

Submarket Overview

Echo Park, a true embodiment of the authentic L.A. experience, finds itself at the very heart of the city's development, nestled between Downtown/Chinatown to the south and Silver Lake/Los Feliz to the north. This vibrant neighborhood has evolved into one of L.A.'s trendiest hotspots, serving as a captivating bridge between the allure of the big city and the charm of a close-knit community. Echo Park showcases an array of trendy entertainment venues, restaurants, and a flourishing arts scene, drawing in a diverse mix of long-time residents and a fresh influx of young professionals. 

Echo Park is designated as a Geographically-Targeted Economic Development Area by the California Department of Housing and Community Development. Specifically, it falls into the Enterprise Zone Program, which provides special incentives to business owners to promote the creation of new jobs. Echo Park benefits from the program because its business owners are given significant tax incentives to operate in the area. As a result, owners can invest more money into their businesses, creating jobs and overarching economic prosperity.

The Northeast Los Angeles Submarket boasts a stable vacancy rate of 4.6%, which is in line with the average for the entire Los Angeles apartment market. The Submarket’s current vacancy rate is identical to the trailing 3-year vacancy rate and is projected to stay consistent, compressing to 4.30% by 2028 per 2023 CoStar data. The Northeast Los Angeles Submarket is primarily residential but located near major L.A. job hubs. With 23 Fortune 500 headquarters and continuous job and population growth, demand for multifamily assets in Los Angeles remains high, especially with international migration offsetting domestic population loss. The city's appeal to younger professionals further drives the demand for apartments, making Los Angeles a sought-after destination for housing in the competitive real estate landscape.

Sponsor’s Projects and Targets

*Assumptions and projections included in the information on this Page, including pro forma projections (collectively “Projections”) were provided by the Sponsor or an affiliate thereof and are not reflective of the position or opinions of, nor are they endorsed by, RM Technologies, LLC or its affiliates, or any other person or entity other than the Sponsor or its affiliates.  RM Technologies, LLC and its affiliates do not provide any assurance of returns or the accuracy or reasonableness of the Projections provided by the Sponsor or its affiliates.   There can be no assurance that the Sponsor’s methodology used for calculating any Projections, including Target IRR, Target Annualized Cash-on-Cash Return, and Target Equity Multiple (“Targets”), are appropriate or adequate.  The Sponsor’s Projections and Targets are hypothetical, are not based on actual investment results, and are presented solely for the purpose of providing insight into the Sponsor’s investment objectives, detailing its anticipated risk and reward characteristics and for establishing a benchmark for future evaluation of the Sponsor’s performance. The Sponsor’s Projections and Targets are not a predictor, projection or guarantee of future performance.  There can be no assurance that the Sponsor’s Projections or Targets will be met or that the Sponsor will be successful in meeting these Projections and Targets.  Projections and Target returns should not be used as a primary basis for an investor’s decision to invest.

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.  RM Technologies, LLC makes no representations or warranties as to the accuracy of such information and accepts no liability therefor.  No part of the information on this Page is intended to be binding on RM Technologies, LLC or its affiliates, or to supersede any of the Sponsor’s Investment Documents.  The opinions expressed on this page are solely the opinions of the Sponsor and its affiliates and none of the opinions expressed on this Page are the opinions of, nor are they endorsed by, RM Technologies, LLC or its affiliates.

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.  A portion of the offering proceeds may be allocated as a reserve to ensure timely payment of the ongoing licensing fees for RM Technologies’ Administration Solution. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administration Solution Fee is not due with respect to any quarter until the Administration Solution has been provided by RM Technologies and without regard to any amounts on reserve for the payment of such fees. 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

None of RM Technologies nor any affiliate are registered as a broker, dealer, investment adviser, or funding portal (except with respect to RM Adviser, LLC, which has no involvement in the transactions to be consummated hereby or contemplated herein and solely for the purposes hereof, shall not be deemed an affiliate or RM Technologies). They do not provide investment advice or recommend the purchase of any securities that are the subject of this agreement or the Sponsor’s offering with respect to the Project.
