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.

SF Partners
SF Partners ("SF") is a Real Estate Investment firm established in 2009 with the primary focus of purchasing and managing commercial real estate in the state of Florida. The principals of SF, Charles Stuzin and Daniel Stuzin, have been involved in both the banking and real estate industries in South Florida for more than 40 years. In the past few years, SF has placed on an emphasis on expanding outside of Florida to find commercial projects that meet their investment criteria. They have recently invested in Colorado, Georgia, Kentucky, and South Carolina.
Since inception, SF has purchased and operated over twenty multi-tenant commercial properties primarily in the South Florida area. SF's strategy has been to identify commercial buildings where it can add value through increasing occupancy, rental rates, and reducing expenses. Many of the properties purchased by SF have also required substantial investment in capital improvements in order to achieve the aforementioned objectives.
The investment strategy is based upon acquiring and managing “sub‐performing” commercial real estate assets that offer attractive risk-based returns in the following property types: office, retail and light industrial. Typical deal size ranges from $1,000,000 ‐ $12,000,000. By focusing on smaller commercial properties, SF believes it can find value as there are less sophisticated purchasers pursuing these type of deals. Transaction types are standard arms-length buyer/seller purchases but have also included the acquisition of: non-performing notes, portfolio purchases and REO assets. The management team has developed a strategy which allows for quick stabilization of the asset (typically within 12‐18 months). The “in-house” property management team also allows SF to keep expenses to a minimum while providing superior value to its tenants.
Since 2011, SF has owned and managed 1.6 million square feet of office properties with cumulative purchase prices of $135 million. SF has sold 11 properties with cumulative sale prices of $67 million.
RealtyMogul investors previously invested alongside SF Partners in the acquisition of the Hollywood Medical Office Building in October 2015 and the acquisition of Cinnamon Tree Plaza in May 2016. Hollywood Medical Office Building was subsequently sold in July 2018 which yielded a 32.5% IRR to RealtyMogul investors. Cinnamon Tree Plaza was subsequently sold in February 2018 which yielded an 18.0% IRR to RealtyMogul investors.
Past performance is not indicative of future results and there can be no assurance that RealtyMogul will achieve comparable results or be able to avoid losses.

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 2.5 years of the loan term, which means that there will be no reduction in the principal balance during that interest-only period.
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.
Virginia Hurricane Risk
Virginia is subject to frequent and sometimes debilitating natural disasters including but not limited to coastal hurricanes. There can be no assurance that hurricanes and flooding within the state, or any other environmental factor, will not cause significant difficulties and disruptions in the daily operation of the Property, or that Real Estate Company and the Target are properly insured for any such damage caused to the Property or its business operations. As a result, the business and financial condition of the Target, and thus the Company and its investors, may be materially adversely affected.
Office Building Competition Risk
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.
Cash Sweep Potential by Senior Lender
A mortgage loan is expected to exist on the Property throughout the investment term. if an extension of the original mortgage loan term is required, the senior lender that provided the mortgage at the time the Property was purchased requires a reserve of all available cash flow from the Property (i.e., a Cash Sweep), until such time as the Property is sold or refinanced with a new senior lender. If the Property does not generate revenues sufficient to meet its operating expenses, including a Cash Sweep, Target’s cash flow and ability to pay distributions to its members (including the Company) will be adversely affected.
Market and Economic Conditions May Impact Revenue from the Property’s Operations
Local conditions in the market of the Property may significantly affect occupancy, rental rates, and the operating performance of the Property. Such risks include (but are not limited to): (i) plant closings, industry slowdowns and other facts that affect the local economy; (ii) an oversupply of, or a reduced demand for, similar properties; (iii) a decline in household formation or employment or lack of employment growth, (iv) zoning, rent control or other laws regulating similar properties that could prevent Target from raising rents or modifying, expanding or selling the Property; (v) economic conditions that could cause an increase in operating expenses of Target, such as increases in property taxes, utilities, compensation of on-site personnel and routine maintenance; (vi) stability of military facilities or a reduction in their allocated budget and or operations.
Vacancies and Tenant Defaults May Reduce the Property’s Revenues
A vacancy or default of a tenant on its rent will cause Target to lose the revenue from that unit and, if enough effective vacancies occur, it could cause Target to have to find an alternative source of revenue to meet any loan payments and other operating expenses for a particular property. Although not without penalty, a major tenant in the Property has an early termination option for their lease during the investment term. If the company managing the investment property does not employ sufficiently aggressive marketing campaigns and/or lease incentive programs, vacancies may increase and an investment in the Company may be adversely affected.
