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.
Houston's economy has diversified in recent years, with a move away from energy reliance. This should afford a layer of protection against downturns like the one caused by the recent drop in oil prices.
The Real Estate Company is highly experienced; its Principals have successfully owned and operated more than 4,800 multifamily units in Texas over the course of multiple real estate cycles, in addition to having managed more than 40 multifamily properties in Houston.
The Property is being purchased at a favorable basis. The $87.35 per rentable square foot purchase price is 10% below the sale comps' average.

In this transaction, RealtyMogul investors are to invest in RealtyMogul 131, LLC ("The Company"), which is to subsequently invest in Briar Court Apartments LLC ("The Target"), a limited liability company that will directly or indirectly own interest in the Property. ParaWest Group (the "Real Estate Company") is under contract to purchase the Property for $17.1 million ($85,075 per unit) and the total project cost is expected to be $20.1 million ($99,898 per unit).
The Real Estate Company plans to implement a value-add strategy, in which it will capitalize $2.1 million ($10,602 per unit) to renovate the Property. $987,266 ($4,912 per unit) has been budgeted for interior unit upgrades which include new fixtures, blinds, black appliances, flooring, two-tone paint, six-panel doors, cabinet improvements, and countertop resurfacing. Additionally, $857,719 has been budgeted for exterior improvements including exterior paint, roof improvements, carpentry, wrought iron, parking lot repairs, gutter repairs, pool renovation, leasing office renovation, and signage. The total CapEx budget also includes a $193,723 contingency (10% of renovation costs) and a 5% construction management fee to be paid to the Real Estate Company ($92,249). Upon stabilization, the Real Estate Company expects to achieve net effective rents of $1,113 per unit (based on a weighted average). This represents a 21% premium over in-place rents, but a 4.5% discount to comps on a per square foot basis. The business plan calls for a four year hold, at which point the Property will be sold at a 6.50% cap rate.

Market Overview
Per CoStar, the Houston market is the nation’s fourth most populous metropolitan area and posted population growth of 11.6% from 2012 to 2017 – three times the national average and ranked second only to the Dallas-Fort Worth metro. Recent job growth in Houston remains robust as the local economy continues to rebound from the oil downturn and Hurricane Harvey. 2018 job growth stood at 2.4% versus the 20-year average of 1.7%, and the University of Houston projects an additional 60,000 jobs in 2019. Houston remains the energy capital of the world, with half of the its Gross Metro Product (GMP) tied to energy. That said, the local economy continues to diversify. The Ion in Midtown, which will serve as the de-facto hub of a Houston Innovation District upon completion in 2020, is set to be a welcome addition to Houston’s growing tech ecosystem. The Texas Medical Center, already the largest healthcare complex in the world, is partnering with Houston’s major research universities on the Texas Medical Center 3 development. According to Houstonia, the project is set to inject $5.2 billion into the local and furnish up to 30,000 new jobs when it is finished in 2022. Finally, the metro should see considerable improvements to its infrastructure as it welcomes a wave of new residents. Construction on the $7 billion North Houston Highway Improvement Project (NHHIP) should begin in 2020 and take eight years to complete. There are also plans for the Texas Central Railway, a 90-minute, high-speed train connecting Dallas and Houston. Texas Central Partners have already taken out a $300 million loan on the project and have purchased one-third of the land needed for completion; service could begin as early as 2024.

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.
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.
Floating Interest Rate
The loan being used to acquire the Property is expected to have a floating rate based on the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). If LIBOR 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.
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 Target Entity to sell the Property, rent its units as necessary to maintain occupancy, and/or to increase or maintain unit rental rates.
Renovation Risks
The Property was 90% occupied as of April 2019, 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.
Texas Hurricane Risk
Texas 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.
Interest-Only Loan Period
The loan being used to acquire the Property is expected to have an interest-only period during the first 5 years of the loan term, which means that there will be no reduction in the principal balance during that interest-only period.
