In this transaction, RealtyMogul investors are to invest in RealtyMogul 121, LLC ("The Company"), which is to subsequently invest in NSE Concord Manager, LLC ("The Target"), a limited liability company that will indirectly own interest in the Property. New Standard Equities (the "Real Estate Company") is under contract to purchase the Property for $34.7 million ($289,167 per unit) and the total project cost is expected to be $38.5 million ($321,046 per unit).
The Real Estate Company plans to implement a value-add strategy in which it will maximize cash flow by implementing several exterior improvements, renovating all 120 units, and then re-leasing them at market rates. According to the Real Estate Company, the Property has been poorly managed, which has resulted in rents far below market ($313 per unit per month below comps).
After improvements are made, the plan is to raise rents from an average of $1,843 per unit to $2,408 per unit, which represents a 6% increase to market rates, and a $450 per unit increase from interior and exterior renovations.
The capital improvements budget contemplates $1,658,060 ($13,817 per unit) of interior renovations (including a 10.0% contingency), which will involve upgrading flooring, appliances, and cabinetry as well as installing in-unit washer/dryers. The Real Estate Company has also set aside $545,500 for exterior property enhancements including painting, patio and balcony upgrades, leasing office enhancements, pool improvements, and landscaping. The business plan calls for all units to be renovated within 33 months for an average pace of 3.6 units per month. A summary of all capital expenditures planned by the Real Estate Company for the Property may be found in the table below.

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.
Interest-Only Loan Period
The loan being used to acquire the Property is expected to have an interest-only period during the full 3 (three) year loan term, which means that there will be no reduction in the principal balance of the loan during this interest-only period.
Floating Interest Rate
The loan being used to acquire the Property is expected to have a floating rate based on the One Month LIBOR rate. If the One Month LIBOR rate increases the interest payments due on the loan are expected to increase as well. This could adversely affect the Property’s financial results or business operations and thus the value of the Company’s investment.
California State Risks
The State of California is subject to various natural disasters, including severe drought, earthquakes, and fire seasons. The Property is vulnerable to damage or interruption from such natural disasters, power losses, telecommunication failures, terrorist attacks, human errors, break-ins and similar events. The occurrence of a natural disaster or other unanticipated problem could result in a strain on the Company’s financial condition. There is no guarantee that the Target will carry adequate insurance for the Property at the time of a loss. Because the Property is located in an earthquake fault zone, it is particularly sensitive to the risk of damage to, or total destruction of, the Property, which, if incurred, could adversely affect the Target’s results of operations and financial condition, and consequently have a material adverse effect to the Company’s financials and its investors.
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.
