Inception Investors
Inception Investors is a private real estate investment and operating company that was founded in 2012. The company is headquartered in New York City and has offices in Brooklyn and Manhattan.
The Sponsor’s investment strategy is to acquire properties with attractive growth potential through either a combination of active property and asset management and market growth. They generally target cash flowing Class-B multifamily properties and give key consideration to the following criteria:
- Gentrifying Tri-state area markets with high population density and strong market fundamentals.
- Capitalize on shifts in demographic trends and property investments that include an increased preference for urban living by baby boomers, millennials, and young professionals as well as assets that are in close proximity to transit or places of employment.
The Sponsor is an affiliated entity to The Clairmont Group – the same sponsor who transacted on the 23-Unit New Jersey Multifamily deal with RealtyMogul.com in March 2016. Two of the three principals with Inception are also principals of the Clairmont Group. The two companies share asset management, accounting, and back office operations and invest together as principals, so it truly is one company at this time. They have maintained their respective names due to legacy and relationship reasons.

Note: The management overview and track record detailed above was provided by the Sponsor and has not been verified by RealtyMogul.com or NCPS.
In this transaction, RealtyMogul.com investors are to invest in Realty Mogul 84, LLC, which is to subsequently invest in 497 Dean Street LLC, a limited liability company that will hold title to the Property. The Sponsor (Inception Investors) is currently under contract to purchase the Property for $2,875,000 ($359,375/unit).
Upon acquisition, the Sponsor intends to negotiate buyouts with tenants currently occupying the five units subject to rent stabilization(1). The Sponsor has budgeted $30,000 per unit to perform these buyouts, in line with the amounts they have offered at their other rent stabilized properties. The Sponsor has already begun conversations with tenants about the business plan and reported that two tenants have already expressed willingness to accept a buyout. Once those units are vacated, the Sponsor intends on implementing a capital improvement program of $30,000/unit in order to renovate the units and capture the maximum allowed rental increases upon completion. The rent guidelines limit rent increases to 1/40th of the cost of construction(2).
Planned renovations include a full kitchen renovation including new appliances, stove and counter tops as well as bathroom renovations with new shower heads and toilets. The Sponsor will also replace the dated flooring, improve the lighting, and will install new video intercoms for the tenants.

The Sponsor plans to engage EPP Management to manage the asset. EPP Management is a wholly owned subsidiary of Inception Investors and they currently manage over 400 units in the New York market. The management company is run by Chesky Engel, one of the principals of the Sponsor. Inception engages EPP Management for all of its assets. The Sponsor intends to sell the Property in five (5) years, however the hold period could potentially be shorter or longer.
RM has invested in two prior transactions with the Sponsor (New Jersey Multifamily & Brooklyn Multifamily), both of which are performing well. As of Q1 2017: NOI since inception (March 2016) at New Jersey Multifamily is trending at 43.7% above proforma. At Brooklyn Multifamily (closed July 2016), the Sponsor has completed renovations and leases on four rent stabilized units (with one more in process), ahead of proforma projections of three units in the first year (for informational purposes only, past performance is not indicative of future results).
(1) Per the New York State Division of Housing and Community Renewal Office of Rent Administration, the Rent Guidelines Board sets rent increases in stabilized apartments. These guidelines are set once a year and are effective for leases beginning on or after October 1st of each year. Rents can be increased during the lease period in any one of three ways as described here.
(2) - Rents for renovated units are subject to the Individual Apartment Improvement (IAI) rules which limit rent increases to 1/40th of the cost of construction (for properties with 35 units or less) as described here. Vacant units are subject to 20% increases over the last legal rent per the Board guidelines as described here.
RealtyMogul.com, along with Inception Investors (the "Sponsor"), is providing the opportunity to invest in the acquisition of 497 Dean Street, an eight-unit multifamily Property located in a gentrifying neighborhood of Brooklyn, NY the "Property".
The primary objective of this investment is to acquire the Property, remove existing rent stabilization restrictions through tenant buy outs, perform interior renovations to capture rental increases, then sell the Property within approximately five (5) years. The Sponsor sees this investment as an opportunity to capitalize on a well located asset in a gentrifying neighborhood that can be improved through the removal of rent stabilization restrictions and implementing a targeted renovation plan.
Built in 1930, the Property is comprised of one building containing eight units and is currently 100% occupied. Unit types are all four bedroom/two bathroom units averaging 894 SF across four stories. There are no parking spaces and amenities/common areas at the Property are limited, as is typical for smaller walk up multifamily properties in New York, however one of the ground floor units has access to a private backyard which is a rarity in the market. Five of the units are subject to rent stabilization restrictions while the remaining three units are free market and were previously renovated by the seller.

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.
Credit Risk
Realty Mogul 84, LLC's investment in 497 Dean Street LLC will relate to a Property that will undergo some degree of renovation, a situation that does not always meet the financing criteria for conventional financing from institutional sources. Credit risk is inherent in the real estate financing industry, and there can be no assurance that the credit worthiness of the Sponsor will be sufficient to assure the full repayment of the Realty Mogul 84, LLC's common equity investment and thus Realty Mogul 84, LLC's ability to provide returns (or even repayment of principal) to investors.
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.
Interest-Only Loan Period
The loan being used to acquire the Property is expected to have an interest-only period during the first 12 months of the loan term, which means that there will be no reduction in the principal balance during that interest-only period.
Management Risk
Investors will be relying solely on the Sponsor for the execution of its business plan. The Sponsor may in turn rely on other key personnel with relevant experience and knowledge, including contractors and consultants. Members of 497 Dean Street LLC (including Realty Mogul 84, 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. While the Sponsor has significant operating experience, 497 Dean Street LLC is a newly formed company and has no operating history or record of performance. Realty Mogul 84, LLC is pursuing a venture capital strategy through its investment in 497 Dean Street LLC, and the manager of Realty Mogul 84, LLC is expected to be treated as an investment adviser exempt from federal or state registration under this strategy.
Manager of Realty Mogul 84, LLC Will Participate in Sponsors' Promote Interest
The manager of Realty Mogul 84, 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 84, LLC. Investors must recognize and agree to waive and bear the risk of this conflict of interest.
Capital Call Risk
The amount of capital that may be required by 497 Dean Street LLC from Realty Mogul 84, LLC is unknown, and although 497 Dean Street 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 84, LLC does not intend to participate in a capital call if one is requested by 497 Dean Street LLC, and in such event the manager of 497 Dean Street LLC may accept additional contributions from other members of 497 Dean Street LLC. Amounts that the manager of 497 Dean Street LLC advances on behalf of Realty Mogul 84, 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 84, LLC's interest in 497 Dean Street LLC will suffer a proportionate amount of dilution.
Real Estate Market Risk
497 Dean Street LLC's economic performance and value, and thus the value of investors’ investment in Realty Mogul 84, LLC, is subject to various risks associated with the Property. Real estate markets are affected by many factors, such as general economic conditions, supply and demand for real estate investments, interest rates, the availability of financing, and other factors. Investments related to real estate are also subject to market valuation risks that may be caused by changing economic and local market conditions such as local real estate market conditions. The Property’s economic performance and value, and thus the value of investors’ investment in Realty Mogul 84, LLC, is subject to such risks, all of which are beyond the control of both Realty Mogul 84, LLC and 497 Dean Street LLC.
Apartment Complex - Competition
Competition in the Property’s local market area is significant and may affect the Property’s occupancy levels, rental rates and operating expenses. The Property will compete with other residential alternatives to attract tenants, including but not limited to other apartment units that are currently available for rent, new apartments that are built and condominiums/houses that are for rent or sale. If development of apartment complexes by other operators were to increase, due to increases in availability of funds for investment or other reasons, then competition with the Property could intensify. If the Property is not able to successfully compete with the competitive residential alternatives in the local or regional area this could adversely affect the ability of Sponsor Entity to sell the Property, rent its units as necessary to maintain occupancy, and/or to increase or maintain unit rental rates.
Lease-up Risks
The Property currently has a 100% occupancy level, and the Sponsor intends to implement a capital improvement plan in its effort to maintain and/or 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 plan will result in the Property maintaining its occupancy level at rental rates in line with those projected. Any delays or adverse effects of such work could adversely affect the Property’s financial results or business operations and thus the value of the Company’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 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 Company’s investment.
