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.

In this transaction, RealtyMogul.com investors are to invest in Realty Mogul 80, LLC, which is to subsequently invest in LVA Holdings, LLC, a limited liability company that will hold title to the Property. The Real Estate Company is purchasing the Property for $11,450,000 ($40,893/unit), and the total project cost is $13,393,829 ($47,835/unit).
Crown Bay Group (the "Real Estate Company") believes this investment offers a rare opportunity to participate in an off-market, value-add acquisition of a stabilized Property that can achieve upside value creation through a targeted capital improvement plan and intensive hands on management. The current owners have maintained the buildings well, but have not aggressively targeted operations to increase value.
Rents are currently well below market and the sellers have already renovated a handful of units which are achieving $70 to $100 rental premiums over current rents (the Real Estate Company is underwriting an average renovation premium of $69). The Real Estate Company intends to continue this renovation program as units vacate, which will include resurfaced countertops, brushed nickel fixtures, hardware, flooring, lighting and new cabinet doors. The Real Estate Company intends to renovate an average of six units per month. Planned exterior renovations include creation of a new amenity space next to the leasing office with a playground, picnic/grilling area, and a pavilion, as well as re-plastering and upgrading the pool in year two.
Operational improvements the Real Estate Company intends to target include implementation of a RUBS program to recapture water expenses from the tenants and leasing of washer/dryer units. The Property was recently annexed into the City of Columbia, which when coupled with the implementation of a RUBS program, should result in lower Property expenses. There are over 200 units which have existing washer/dryer connections which the Real Estate Company plans to leverage by offering their washer/dryer rental program which has proven successful at their other communities. Lastly, the Real Estate Company has already identified various other expenses that they plan on reducing starting day one, while working with their management company to identify where further costs savings can be had.
The Real Estate Company plans to create a new amenity space next to the office with a playground, picnic/grilling area, and a pavilion as well as re-plastering and upgrading the pool in year two. Additionally, upon the recent annexation, the water charges are expected to be reduced by 36.8% per the appraiser and by comparing the city and county water charges. The annexation is also anticipated to increase property taxes but the net impact of the annexation is expected to increase net cash flow by about $78,000.

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.
Non-Transferability of Securities
The transferability of membership interests in Realty Mogul 80, 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. Moreover, the estimated investment holding period described herein is only a projection, and there can be no assurance when or if an investment may be liquidated. 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 80, LLC's investment in LVA Holdings, 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 Real Estate Company will be sufficient to assure the full repayment of the Realty Mogul 80, LLC's common equity investment and thus Realty Mogul 80, LLC's ability to provide returns (or even repayment of principal) to investors.
Mortgage Risk
The Real Estate Company 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 Real Estate Company controlled capital escrow account.
Management Risk
Investors will be relying solely on the Real Estate Company for the execution of its business plan. The Real Estate Company may in turn rely on other key personnel with relevant experience and knowledge, including contractors and consultants. Members of LVA Holdings, LLC (including Realty Mogul 80, 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 Real Estate Company has significant operating experience, LVA Holdings, LLC is a newly formed company and has no operating history or record of performance. Realty Mogul 80, LLC is pursuing a venture capital strategy through its investment in LVA Holdings, LLC, and the manager of Realty Mogul 80, LLC is expected to be treated as an investment adviser exempt from federal or state registration under this strategy.
Manager of Realty Mogul 80, LLC Will Participate in Real Estate Company's Promote Interest
The manager of Realty Mogul 80, 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 80, 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 LVA Holdings, LLC from Realty Mogul 80, LLC is unknown, and although LVA Holdings, 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 80, LLC does not intend to participate in a capital call if one is requested by LVA Holdings, LLC, and in such event the manager of LVA Holdings, LLC may accept additional contributions from other members of LVA Holdings, LLC. Amounts that the manager of LVA Holdings, LLC advances on behalf of Realty Mogul 80, 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 80, LLC's interest in LVA Holdings, LLC will suffer a proportionate amount of dilution.
Real Estate Market Risk
LVA Holdings, LLC's economic performance and value, and thus the value of investors’ investment in Realty Mogul 80, 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 80, LLC, is subject to such risks, all of which are beyond the control of both Realty Mogul 80, LLC and LVA Holdings, 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 Real Estate Company 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 90% occupancy level, and the Real Estate Company 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 Real Estate Company 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.
The above is not intended to be a full discussion of all the risks of this investment. Please see the Risk Factors in the Issuer Document Package for a discussion of additional risks.
