FORMALIZED DUE DILIGENCE PROCESS 
Sponsors

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.

Escrow accounts

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.

Boots on the ground

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.

Detailed Checklists

We have formalized processes and checklists for every private placement deal listed on the platform.

Overview
The 302 North Apartments represent an opportunity to acquire a well-located, stabilized, 1980s vintage multifamily asset, in a fast-growing sub-market of Austin, TX, and at an attractive basis from an operator seeking an expedited sale.
Basis

Over the last year, the multifamily real estate market in the US has faced an evolving set of challenges primarily driven by the rapid rise of interest rates. As interest rates have increased, buyers have dropped the values they are willing to pay for new acquisitions, and many operators, particularly those with short-term, floating rate debt (such as the seller of 302 North), are facing "cash crunch" problems and in some cases, the reality that an asset's current value may be less than the in-place loan amount. The Sponsor believes this dynamic is playing out in real-time at 302 North. While the current operator is able to sell 302 North above the loan balance, the purchase price of $25,250,000 ($143,465 per unit) represents an approximate 33% markdown from the most recent appraisal of $37,200,000 completed in 2022(1). Cooper Street Capital ("CSC") believes that the seller was willing to accept this markdown to free up liquidity where it was possible to do so in their portfolio.

(1) The Sponsor intends to obtain a new appraisal in connection with this acquisition. The reference of the appraisal from 2022 is in no way meant to anticipate the value that the new appraisal may determine.

Attractive Financing

CSC will structure the acquisition of 302 North by assuming the seller's in-place $23,031,000 Fannie Mae Structured Arm note. The benefits of assuming the in-place loan versus placing new financing are numerous. The Note has approximately 9 years remaining to its maturity on October 1st, 2032, all of which have interest-only ("IO") required payments. Because of the structure of the note, CSC will have maximum flexibility to exit the investment because the prepayment penalty will be 1% of the loan amount, whereas fixed-rate financing typically has a defeasance or minimum interest payment penalty, whenever the partnership sells. And, lastly, the in-place and replacement rate cap agreement will cap interest payments at 4.00% over the 30-day SOFR index, resulting in a maximum interest rate of 6.30%. In the event the 30-day SOFR index declines further (as some economic projections imply), interest costs for the Project could be reduced further. 

Asset Quality

For CSC, 302 North's current physical condition and strong exterior presentation allow for a relatively smaller required capital expenditure ("CapEx") budget and will mitigate execution and operational risk. Over the last three years, the seller has completed nearly $1.8 million of CapEx projects, including replacing the asset's pitched roof and updating the asset's interiors with vinyl plank flooring, stainless steel appliances, and in-unit washer and dryers. As the wiring and plumbing are also copper, the majority of CSC's CapEx budget will be deployed for "defensive maintenance" purposes to provide for the longevity of the asset.

Investment Highlights
302 North was initially marketed in the spring of 2023 by the investment sales group Walker & Dunlop. The whisper price was $33 million, but at the call for offers, the maximum bid that the seller received was for $28 million. The seller decided to wait to see if interest rates would moderate, thereby potentially boosting the value of future offers. Attracted by the fundamentals and growth of the Georgetown market and the overall quality of the asset, Cooper Street Capital ("CSC") decided to keep a hand on the pulse of any potential sale. By the end of the summer, the US 10-year Treasury rate rose to over 5.0%, and the seller decided to meet the market. Now, CSC has 302 under contract for $25,250,000, and the Project is expected to close in mid-March.
Since its inception in 2011, CSC has completed nearly $1.2B of multifamily transactions across the US, representing over 10,500 multifamily units. Austin has been one of CSC's primary investment markets during that time, and the firm has acquired a total of 2,102 units in the market since its first project in 2016 (of which 1,981 units have now gone full cycle). As a result, CSC has been able to closely track asset values and rent pricing in the market for the last six years, and CSC has a strong network of local vendors and contractors that will allow the 302 North acquisition to get off to a quick start.
CSC is a fully vertically integrated real estate platform. Each of the firm's properties is managed in-house by CSC Management, a subsidiary property management company owned by the Sponsor. The firm does not use third-party management and does not manage any property that the firm does not own. It is again becoming evident how important highly attentive, focused, and detail-oriented property management is as inflation slows relative to the last few years and properties can no longer rely on rapidly increasing rent prices for success. After years of iterating, CSC has found that the most effective operations are rooted in a direct line between the asset management team and the on-site team with no layers of management in between.
CSC is a repeat sponsor on the RealtyMogul technology platform with a proven track record. The firm has completed two projects full-circle using the RealtyMogul technology platform, including Barberry Village Apartments in Portland, OR, which sold for a project level 36.60% IRR, and the Amber Hill Apartments in San Antonio, which sold for a project level 63.30% IRR. CSC recently had a project on the technology platform called the South Hill Apartments.
The in-place Fannie Mae Structured Arm note has a floating interest rate that is calculated as the sum of a 230 bps spread plus the 30-day average SOFR index rate (underlying index + spread). The seller has an in-place cap rate agreement that "caps" the SOFR index rate exposure to a maximum of 4.00% with an all-in maximum rate today of 6.30%. CSC will purchase a new rate cap with Chatham Financial for another two-year term and the same maximum exposure of 4.00% of the base SOFR index. In addition, the forward-looking 30-day average SOFR rate curve is projected to fall below the cap level of 4.00% at the start of 2025. If the SOFR rate falls below 4.00%, the all-in rate will decrease.
302 North is located in downtown Georgetown, TX in the greater Austin MSA and approximately 20 miles from Austin's Domain, which many consider to be the city's "second downtown." The benefits of being close to Austin are numerous, but Georgetown as a town has several strong and noteworthy underlying fundamentals. Not only has Georgetown been the destination for several headline tech investments and corporate relocations, but the town's population also grew at one of the fastest paces in the US at 14.4% in 2022.
Since the onset of the pandemic, Austin has been among the top cities for construction deliveries, softening multifamily operating conditions. Along with rising rates, this dynamic is likely partially why CSC was able to pick up 302 North for such a favorable price. In the immediate term, construction is expected to outpace household formation, but CSC believes that construction pipeline data shows a growing supply gap due to more stringent lender underwriting, elevated construction costs, and a rising interest rate environment. Construction starts were at their peak in Q2 2022, and construction starts are now down 47% from that point.
CSC is optimistic about the longer-term outlook of Austin and Georgetown given the broader area's strong positive demographic growth and continued expansion in high-growth industries. Over the last decade, the Austin MSA grew by 33% and Williamson County, where 302 North sits, grew by 44.1%, according to the Austin Chamber of Commerce.

The investment strategy for the 302 North Apartments will be a slight departure from the "value-add" investment strategies that Cooper Street Capital ("CSC") most often implements. On the scale of multifamily investment strategies, the 302 North Apartments can be more closely categorized as one with a "core-plus" approach. More often than not, CSC is looking for arbitrage opportunities in the real estate market and, particularly, for assets that have notably underwhelming exterior presentation and lower-quality interior living conditions. These dynamics are often associated with financial underperformance, which can be isolated and addressed in order to drive an asset's value. For 302 North, the asset presents well from the street, and the interiors of the asset have all been upgraded by the current owner with stainless steel appliances, backsplash, and in-unit washers and dryers. As could be expected, the in-place rents at the asset, by consequence, are averaging $1.95-$2.00/SF, in line with nearby competitors. By consequence, CSC will not bring a large-scale capital expenditure budget ("CapEx") for a unit-by-unit interior upgrade program. Instead, CSC will use a smaller, more targeted CapEx budget of $850k to address deferred maintenance issues and to proactively replace and upgrade physical component parts to provide for long-term productive use. The less demanding CapEx requirements are expected to reduce execution and operational risk. Further, in contrast to many of its competitors, CSC will actively manage 302 North with its in-house property management company, CSC Management, to aggressively mitigate against vacancy and bad debt loss. The asset is stable now, and CSC will manage to consistently stable operations over a two-year projected hold period. Finally, CSC is acquiring the 302 North Apartments for an appropriate going-in T-12 capitalization rate ("cap rate") of 5.88% (or unlevered return of investment), which correctly reflects today's higher costs of borrowing in the current rate environment and the risk/reward profile of multifamily assets relative to the yield on other assets. The acquisition will be structured by assuming the in-place Fannie Mae Structured Arm loan, which has 9 years until maturity and a maximum prepayment penalty of 1% of the loan balance. With this going-in valuation, time horizon, and prepayment flexibility, CSC will have the ability to sell the asset back into the market if valuations rebound and interest rates come down from their current level, as some economic forecasts suggest.

Property Information

Location Information

Market Overview

Austin earned the nickname the “Silicon Hills” as early as the 1980s, as tech leaders like Dell, Intel, IBM, and Cisco began moving a larger presence and satellite offices to the area. Corporate relocations and tech investment began to pick up in earnest, however, over the last 10 years to rival other coastal markets like San Francisco and New York City. Austin is now home to 5,500 tech companies and startups, including the above listed companies as well as major offices for Tesla, Facebook, Google, Oracle, and Amazon. The firms have brought job and population growth to The Domain and Tech Ridge neighborhoods in particular (20 minutes from 302 North), while also strengthening network effects in the high-tech, manufacturing, and professional services sectors. 

According to The Austin Chamber of Commerce, a year-over-year increase of 51,000 (4.1%) new jobs makes it one of the top-performing labor markets in the US and a favorable place to launch and build a career. To keep pace with the demands of Austin’s booming job market, the MSA has also seen healthy demographic growth. Ranked the fastest growing of the 100 largest metros in the United States, Austin’s population increased by 2.8% from 2021 to 2022 and 2.4% from 2022 to 2023, putting Austin as the 10th largest city in the US. Over the last 10 years, Austin's metro has grown by 33%, and it has become one of the hottest multifamily markets as a result. 

Beyond the booming tech sector, Austin’s economy has no shortage of stabilizing segments and long-term economic drivers. The State of Texas employs 63,000, the University of Texas at Austin employs 23,000, and the City of Austin employs over 15,000 workers. The addition of two new hospitals, Texas Children’s Hospital and Dell Children’s Medical Center, round out Austin’s robust economy and are expected to bring another influx of talent to North Austin.

Submarket Overview

The state of Texas has seen tremendous demographic and job growth over the last 10 years, driven mainly by young professionals fleeing higher-cost coastal markets like San Francisco and New York. While Austin is often cited as one of the primary destinations for population growth and corporate investment, the state's fast growth also includes what is often cited as "the fastest-growing city in the US," Georgetown, TX, where the 302 North Apartments sit. Georgetown's population increased 14.4% year over year from 2022 to 2023 from 75,620 to 86,507, according to the US Census Bureau, while the county (Williamson County) grew by 44.1% over the last 10 years. Professionals commute between Austin and Georgetown, the sector networks between them are robust, and Georgetown is often considered a "suburb of Austin," but the city is very much its own market with attractive underlying economic fundamentals. One of the main anchors of employment and household demand in the market is Southwestern University, which is a private liberal arts college with ~1,500 undergraduate students. The city has an old-time Texas charm with a historic downtown square, but in recent years the city has also seen enviable growth in the high-tech, manufacturing, and professional services sectors. At the end of 2023, in a notable example, a New Jersey-based company that builds equipment used for cloud computing and artificial intelligence systems called ZT Systems, acquired a 435,000-square-foot building in Georgetown, where it plans to open a manufacturing plant and hire 1,500 people. At the same time, Valex, a manufacturer of a key part in semiconductors, Enflite, a manufacturer of aircraft components, and CeLink, a manufacturer of EV car parts, also all have manufacturing facilities in Georgetown.

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.

Please also carefully review RM Securities’ Form CRS, Regulation Best Interest Disclosures, and Limited Brokerage Services Agreement.

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 Documents

The 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 Investment

This 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 Assumptions

Sponsor 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 Performance

Any 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 Debt

A 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 Registered

Sponsor’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 Advice

Nothing 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.

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.
