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.

Market Overview
Per Costar, after impressive job and population growth in the Austin market, vacancies fell quickly and reached historical lows in 2012. Tight vacancies led to impressive rent growth, and nominal rent levels are 20% above the prerecession peak, as compared to the US which is only 15% as of the end of the third quarter of 2017. In response, developers have brought more than 36,000 units to market since 2012, or 23% of total inventory, which is in line with Nashville for the second highest in the National Index. For comparison, the National Index added less than 10% of its inventory over that time period. With expectations for additional job growth (though it has slowed recently), even with unemployment hovering around 3%, even more supply is coming, and nearly 11,000 units are underway as of early October.
Further, per Costar, early in the cycle, much of the construction was focused on the Downtown/University submarket, but it appears that developers are starting to take a break from delivering ultraluxury rentals, and instead have started building condos, which should help vacancies recover from their current levels, though a second wave may be coming. Development has now shifted to the suburbs, with areas around the Domain, the Triangle, East Austin, and Southeast Austin seeing an influx of new projects, as these highly amenitized (Domain and Triangle) and gentrifying (East and Southeast Austin) nodes had been performing well over the past few years. Austin has also cemented itself among the nation's secondary markets, at least when it comes to liquidity. Prior to 2012, Austin had never recorded more than $700 million in apartment sales. It has now surpassed that number for five consecutive years and neared that much in just the first quarter of 2016, but with the apartment market cooling and prices remaining high, investors may push further out on the risk spectrum, to the next tier of markets (or submarkets), looking for more yield.
Submarket Overview
Per Costar, the East Austin submarket has been directly affected by recent real estate development in neighboring submarkets. Historically, East Austin has been known for lower rents and quality, but that has begun to change as demand keeps up with deliveries – 12 month effective rent growth is up 2.5% and absorption has kept the vacancy rate stagnant/contracting despite high levels of construction. Demographics show that East Austin’s average age and income have slightly declined (a signal of a growing renter pool), while maintaining one of the highest proportions of renters in the metro (65%).
Also per Costar, The Domain, a recent mixed use development (the biggest in Austin), is driving demand to the East submarket. Major Austin employers such as IBM have established offices there, and many other high-paying tech companies are relocating to the Eastern submarket. Employees benefit from lower rents than the central business district and Northwest Austin, and new live/work/play developments in the area. Proximity to the Northwest submarket’s prestigious employers (Google, Oracle, Apple, GM) allows for an easy commute and continued demand in the East Austin submarket.
Per Axiometrics, annual effective rent growth in the East Austin submarket is forecasted to average 3.53% from 2018 to 2020, which is greater than Axiometrics' national average rent growth expectation for that time period. The annual effective rent growth for the East Austin submarket averaged 4.76% per year from 2011-2016, which is also greater than the national average rent growth was during that time period.

Operating Income, Refinance, and Sales Proceeds
- To the Members, pari passu, all excess operating cash flows to an 8.0% IRR to the Members,

- 65.0% / 35.0% thereafter.
Note that these distributions will occur after the payment of the Company's liabilities (loan payments, operating expenses and other fees as set forth in the LLC agreement, in addition to any member loans or returns due on member loans).
The Company will distribute 100% of its share of excess cash flow (after expenses and fees) to the members of The Company (the RealtyMogul.com investors). The Manager of The Company will receive a portion (up to 10%) of The Real Estate Company's promote.
Distributions are expected to start in June 2018 and are expected to continue on a quarterly basis thereafter. These distributions are at the discretion of the The Real Estate Company, who may decide to delay distributions for any reason, including maintenance or capital reserves.

The above presentation is based upon information supplied by the Sponsor or others. Realty Mogul, Co., RM Manager, LLC, and The Company, along with their respective affiliates, officers, directors or representatives (the "RM Parties") hereby advise you that none of them has independently confirmed or verified any of the information contained herein.

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 The Company 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.
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 the Target 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 96.0% occupancy level, and the Real Estate Company intends to implement a capital improvement plan involving the renovations of certain units and a leasing program in its effort to maintain its current occupancy level. The Real Estate Company intends to renovate some of the units within the Property, in order to increase the current rental rates. 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 planned rental rate increase will have favorable results to meet the goals the Real Estate Company projected. Any delays or adverse effects of such renovation work or rental increase efforts could adversely affect the Property’s financial results or occupancy levels, including its business operations and thus the value of the Company’s investment.
Risks Related to Mortgage Interests
A mortgage loan exists on the Property. Mortgage loan interest rates may be significantly affected by economic downturns or general economic conditions beyond the Company’s control and beyond the control of the Real Estate Company. In particular, loss rates on mortgage loans may increase due to factors such as (among other things) local real estate market conditions, prevailing interest rates, the rate of unemployment, the level of consumer confidence, the value of the U.S. dollar, energy prices, changes in consumer spending, the number of personal bankruptcies, disruptions in the credit markets and other factors. Any change in interest rates may drastically affect the value of your investment in the Company. The Target will be obtaining a senior loan (the “Loan”) to, in part, acquire the Property. The Loan is a 10-year loan, with an interest-only period of 2 years at a current adjustable rate of approximately 4.30% interest rate and an amortization schedule of 30 years. If during the hold period, interest rates were to increase and the Target is unable to sell the Property at a reasonable price, or if it is unable to find more favorable terms to refinance the Loan, the result may have significant material adverse effect for the Property, the Target and the Company, including the Company’s investors. Financing risk is inherent in the mortgage lending industry, and there can be no assurance that the Target’s plans to refinance or sell the Property prior to the Loan’s scheduled interest rate change will materialize. If the Loan on the subject Property is not refinanced or if the Property is not sold as needed, within the expected term, the Company and its investment in the Target may be materially and adversely affected. The loan used to acquire the Property had an interest-only period during the first 24 months of the loan term which ended recently, meaning that there was no reduction in the principal balance during that interest-only period. The Target may be unable to take advantage of more favorable financing terms. If the Target seeks alternative financing, there can be no assurance that the Target will be able to obtain such refinancing on a timely or favorable basis.
Capital Call Risk
The amount of capital that may be required by the Target from the Company is unknown, and although Target 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. The Company does not intend to participate in a capital call if one is requested by the Target, and in such event the manager of the Target may accept additional contributions from other members of the Target. Amounts that the manager of the Target advances on behalf of the Company will be deemed to be a manager loan at an expected interest rate of 10% per annum. Amounts that are contributed by existing or new members will be deemed to be additional capital contributions, in which case the Company's interest in the Target will suffer a proportionate amount of dilution.
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.
