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 investors will invest in Realty Mogul 111, LLC ("The Company").

Targeted underwriting calls for additional leasing of roughly 10% of additional vacancy (12,500 sq. ft.), divided between four suites of 3,000 to 5,000 suites each and accomplished within a 12-month period. (2) Perform immediate repairs as well as aesthetic improvements, including elevator cab upgrades, bathroom upgrades, first floor corridor and outdoor patio improvements. The Real Estate Company intends to exit approximately 36 months from acquisition.

Realty Mogul, Co., along with Ravinia Capital Group (the "Real Estate Company") is providng the opportunity to invest in the acquisition of of 544 Lakeview Parkway (the ''Property''), a three-story, Class A office building building in Vernon Hills, IL. The Real Estate Company acquired the Property for $14,200,000 ($102/SF) in June, at roughly 50% of replacement cost, according to JLL.
The primary objective of this investment is to implement a moderate capital plan and lease-up strategy to improve common areas and vacant tenant suites, re-lease vacant space at market rates, and sell the Property within approximately three (3) years.
The Real Estate Company believes that the strong existing tenancy can be further improved with lease-up of a portion of the vacant space and improvement of the common space can potentially create value at the Property.
The Property is a three-story, Class A office building totaling 139,324 rentable square feet with 696 parking spaces (4.8 spaces per 1,000 square feet) and situated on 12.43 acres. The Property is located within the Continental Executive office park, approximately one eighth of a mile south of the intersection of Milwaukee Avenue and Route 60 (Townline Road), approximately 35 miles north of the Chicago CBD and adjacent to approximately 4 million square feet of retail.
As of 9/17/18, 544 Lakeview’s tenancy is comprised of five tenants (73% total in addition to 5% to kitchen and gym amenities), two of which (44% of the building) are either publicly traded companies or are subsidiaries of publicly traded companies. They each maintain Moody’s investment grade ratings ranging from Baa1 – Baa3. The weighted average lease term of the rent roll is 6.8 years.
The Property was built in 1994 for Allstate, which occupied the building until 2011, and vacated as part of a campus consolidation. Given the building’s original use, 544 Lakeview Parkway has inherited amenities and a higher parking ratio not typically available in similarly sized local office buildings.

Mercer - Founded in 1945, Mercer is a subsidiary of the Marsh McLennan Companies, and provides talent, health, retirement, and investment consulting. Credit Rating - Moody's: Baa1

Market Overview
Chicago’s office market remains healthy despite a slowdown in 2016 that included three consecutive quarters of minimal or negative net absorption and a halt to the vacancy recovery. This was largely a result of AT&T's move from its 1.3 million square feet campus in Hoffman Estates, in which employees moved to several other existing Chicago offices, thus severely impacting net absorption. Fortunately, demand has regained steam in recent quarters, and net absorption in 2017 was about 3 million square feet. Market vacancy is 12.1% and year-over-year rent growth was 2.7%.
Submarket Overview
Central North is located along Lake Michigan, and spans across several of Chicago's affluent northern suburbs. The submarket is home to a long list of corporate campuses, with an orientation toward financials and biopharma/healthcare: W.W. Grainger (industrials), Discover Financial Services (consumer credit), and Baxter International (biopharmaceuticals), among many others, are all headquartered here, with about two million square feet of space in total. Submarket vacancy is 15.3% and year-over-year rent growth was 1.9%.

The above presentation is based upon information supplied by the Real Estate Company 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. The RM Parties further make no representations as to the accuracy or completeness of any such information and undertake no obligation now or in the future to update or correct this presentation or any 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.
Capital Call Risk
The amount of capital that may be required by the Target from the Company is unknown, and although the Target does not require that the Company and its members contribute additional capital to it, it may from time to time request additional funds in the form of loans or sell additional equity. 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 Target or from new members. In the event that the manager of Target advances any capital on behalf of the Company, it will be deemed to be a manager loan at an interest rate that cannot be determined at this time. 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 Target will potentially suffer a proportionate amount of dilution.
Interest-Only Loan Period
The loan being used to acquire the Property is expected to have an interest-only period during the first 3 years of the loan term in addition to the 2 one-year extension options, which means that there will be no reduction in the principal balance during that interest-only period.
Renovation Risks
As of September 2018, the Property had a 73% occupancy level, and the Target intends to implement a capital improvement plan involving the interior and exterior renovation of the Property, and a leasing program in its effort to add value to the Property. The Target intends to renovate all or some of the units within the Property and increase the current rental rates of such renovated units. There can be no assurance that, (i) the renovations will be consummated on a timely basis, (ii) the renovations will be completed satisfactorily, (iii) such work will not materially adversely affect other aspects of the operation of the Property, and (iv) the planned rental rate increase will have favorable results to meet the goals the Target projected. Any delays or negative results of the 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.
Escrow Contingency
All funds from investors will be held in a non-interest bearing escrow account with Broker-Dealer as escrow agent for the benefit of the investors in accordance with Rule 15c2-4 under the Exchange Act. All investor funds will be transmitted directly by wire or electronic funds transfer via ACH to the escrow account maintained by the escrow agent per the instructions in the Subscription Agreement. Upon certification by Broker-Dealer and acceptance by the Company that all contingencies have been met, the investor’s funds will be promptly transmitted to the Company. If the contingencies fail to be satisfied during the offering period, we will instruct the Broker-Dealer to return all funds to the investors without interest, deduction, or setoff, and all of the obligations of the investor hereunder shall terminate.
Office Building - Competition
Office buildings are subject to market forces affecting supply and demand just like other types of commercial space, but the economic drivers for office space are sometimes different than those for other real estate investments. Rents and valuations for offices are primarily influenced not just by employment growth but also by a region’s economic focus. Office properties are especially influenced by specific types of employment -- namely, sectors with very high proportions of office use. These economic segments are generally those that utilize service and professional employees such as attorneys, accountants, engineers, insurance personnel, real estate brokers and related service providers (like title and escrow providers), and people working in banking, financial services, consulting, medical, dental, and pharmaceutical fields. Office space tends to be leased for relatively long periods, with tenants often having the option to renew leases for additional terms. This means that office properties often have leases that can lag current market lease rates, and an appropriate “step-up” of rental rates may not be able to be imposed until a lease expires. Economic downturns can affect office buildings more than residential buildings since businesses can go bankrupt even while people continue to need housing. Re-leases of office space can often require significant lead time to consummate.
