Risk Disclosures

Before you invest, you should carefully review the Impact Housing REIT Regulation A+ Offering Circular and risks to investing available below. You may also get these documents for free by visiting EDGAR on the SEC web site at www.sec.gov or by emailing us at info@impacthousing.com.

 

Buying Series A Investor Shares is speculative and involves significant risk, including the risk that you could lose some or all of your money. This section describes some of the most significant risk factors affecting the Fund and its Investors. The order in which these factors are discussed is not intended to suggest that some factors are more important than others.

Regulation A+ / JOBS Act

 

Qualified as an “Emerging Growth Company” Under the JOBS Act: Today, the Fund qualifies as an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act. If the Fund were to become a public company (e.g., following an IPO) and continued to qualify as an emerging growth company, it would be able to take advantage of certain exemptions from the reporting requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and exemptions from certain investor protection measures under the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002. Using these exemptions could benefit the Fund by reducing compliance costs, but could also mean that investors receive less information and receive fewer protections than they would otherwise. However, these exemptions – and the status of the Fund as an “emerging growth company” in the first place – will not be relevant unless the Fund becomes a public reporting company, which we do not plan or foresee.

 

Not Subject to the Corporate Governance Requirements that Apply to Companies Listed on a National Exchange:  Companies whose securities are listed on a national stock exchange (for example, the New York Stock Exchange) are generally subject to a number of rules about corporate governance that are intended to protect investors. For example, the major U.S. stock exchanges require listed companies to have an audit committee made up entirely of independent members of the board of directors (i.e., directors with no material outside relationships with the company or management), which is responsible for monitoring the Fund’s compliance with the law. As of the date of this Offering Statement, neither the Series A Investor Shares, nor any other securities of the Fund, are listed on a national exchange, and it is possible that our securities will never be listed on a national exchange. Accordingly, you may not have the same protections afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to all of the corporate governance requirements of a national exchange.

 

Reduced Disclosure Requirements Under the JOBS Act: The Series A Investor Shares are being offered pursuant to Tier 2 of Regulation A issued by the SEC, as amended pursuant to the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (known as the “JOBS Act”). Regulation A does not require us to provide you with all of the information that would be required in a registration statement in connection with an initial public offering (IPO) of securities. As a Regulation A issuer, we are also not subject to the same level of ongoing reporting obligations as a typical public reporting company, including, but not limited to, many of the disclosure requirements applicable to public reporting companies under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

 

Regulation as an Investment Company: If the Fund were treated as an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, we would be required to comply with a number of special rules and regulations and incur significant cost in doing so, which could impair our ability to make distributions in respect of the Series A Investor Shares. If we failed to comply with these special rules and regulations, we could be prohibited from operating our business and subject to civil and criminal liability, and any contracts we were a party to might be unenforceable. We intend to conduct our business so that we are not treated as an investment company, which may limit the manner in which we may operate. However, we might not be successful in avoiding regulation as an investment company. See the “Investment Company Act Limitations” section starting on page 45 for more information.

 

REITs

 

Must Satisfy Conditions of REIT; Taxes on REITs: We intend to elect to be taxed as a real estate investment trust, or “REIT,” under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) for purposes of federal income taxes. To qualify as a REIT, the Fund must satisfy a number of criteria, both now and on an ongoing basis. Should the Fund fail to satisfy any of these criteria, even inadvertently, it could become subject to penalty taxes and/or lose its REIT status altogether, which would make the Fund subject to federal income tax and thereby reduce the returns to investors substantially. Further, even if it maintains its REIT status, the Fund could be subject to various taxes in some situations. While the Fund intends to seek guidance from tax advisors and operate its business accordingly, there is no guaranty that it will be able to avoid taxes and maintain its qualification as a REIT.

 

Required Distributions:  As a REIT, we generally must distribute 90% of our annual taxable income to our investors. From time to time we might generate taxable income greater than our net income for financial reporting purposes from, among other things, amortization of capitalized purchase premiums, or our taxable income might be greater than our cash flow available for distribution to our stockholders. If we do not have other funds available in these situations, we might be unable to distribute 90% of our taxable income as required by the REIT rules. In that case, we would need to borrow funds, sell a portion of our investments, potentially at disadvantageous prices, or find another alternative source of funds. These alternatives could increase our costs or reduce our equity and reduce amounts to invest in real estate assets and other investments. Moreover, the distributions received by our stockholders in such an event could constitute a return of capital for federal income tax purposes, as the distributions would be in excess of our earnings and profits.

 

Federal and State Income Taxes as a REIT:  Even if the Fund qualifies and maintains its qualification as a REIT, it may be subject to federal income taxes and related state taxes. For example, if we have net income from a “prohibited transaction,” such income will be subject to a 100% tax. The Fund may not be able to make sufficient distributions to avoid excise taxes applicable to REITs. The Fund may also decide to retain income it earns from the sale or other disposition of its property and pay income tax directly on such income. In that event, the Fund’s investors will be treated as if they earned that income and paid the tax on it directly. However, shareholders that are tax-exempt would have no benefit from their deemed payment of such tax liability. The Fund may also be subject to state and local taxes on its income or property. Any federal or state taxes paid by the Fund will reduce the Fund’s operating cash flow and cash available for distributions.

 

REIT Requirements Could Restrict Actions:  REITs are subject to a 100% tax on income from “prohibited transactions,” which include sales of assets that constitute inventory or other property held for sale in the ordinary course of a business, other than foreclosure property. This 100% tax could impact our desire to sell assets and other investments at otherwise opportune times if we believe such sales could be considered a prohibited transaction.

 

Limited Experience Operating a REIT: The Manager has limited experience operating a REIT, which could negatively affect our ability to execute our business strategy, qualify as a REIT, and maintain that status.


Real Estate Investing Risks

 

Speculative NatureReal estate investing can be risky and unpredictable. For example, many experienced, informed people lost money when the real estate market declined in 2007-8. Time has shown that the real estate market goes down without warning, sometimes resulting in significant losses. Some of the risks of investing in real estate include changing laws, including environmental laws; floods, fires, and other Acts of God, some of which can be uninsurable; changes in national or local economic conditions; changes in government policies, including changes in interest rates established by the Federal Reserve; and international crises. You should invest in real estate in general, and in the Fund in particular, only if you can afford to lose your investment and are willing to live with the ups and downs of the real estate industry.

 

Illiquidity of Real Estate: Real estate is generally illiquid, meaning that it is not typically capable of being readily sold for cash at fair market value. Thus, the Fund might not be able to sell properties as quickly or on the terms that it would like. For one thing, we cannot predict how long it will take to find a willing and able buyer. For another thing, we might be required to expend significant amounts of money to correct defects or make improvements before a property can be sold. Moreover, the overall economic conditions that might cause the Fund to want to sell properties are generally the same as those in which it would be most difficult to sell.

 

The Fund

Track Record Does Not Guaranty Future Performance:  The section captioned “Past Performance:  Our Track Record So Far,” starting on page 31, illustrates the performance of comparable investment programs sponsored by our Sponsor. However, there is no guaranty that the Fund’s performance will be similar. The economy as a whole and the real estate market in particular have been very favorable to date; economic conditions may change and we might not be able to adapt.

 

Limited Operating History: Although our Sponsor’s management team is composed of experienced real estate professionals, the Fund itself is a start-up business with a very limited operating history, minimal operating capital, no significant assets and no revenues. Like any start-up, the Fund will face a number of challenges, including: Developing a reputation and brand identity; Raising capital; Controlling costs; Responding effectively to the offerings of existing and future competitors; Managing growth and expansion; and Implementing adequate accounting and financial systems and controls.

 

No Guarantee of DistributionsWhen you buy a certificate of deposit from a bank, the Federal government (through the FDIC) guaranties you will get your money back. Buying a Series A Investor Share of the Fund is not like that at all. The ability of the Fund to make the distributions you expect, and ultimately to give you your money back, depends on a number of factors, including some beyond its control. Nobody guaranties that you will receive distributions.

 

Arbitrary Pricing: The initial price of our Series A Investor Shares was determined arbitrarily by the Manager, and was not determined by an independent appraisal of the Fund’s value and bears no relationship to traditional measures of value such as EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization), cash flow, revenue, or book value.

 

Inability to Participate in the Management of the Fund: As an Investor, you will not have a right to vote or otherwise participate in managing the Fund, except on very limited matters. Instead, the Manager will make all decisions, including investment decisions. Investors will have the right to remove the Manager only in very limited circumstances.

 

No Knowledge of Actual Investments Before Investing: As of the date of this Offering Circular, the Fund doesn’t own any real estate assets. As a result, investors cannot see or evaluate our assets before making an investment decision. Instead, investors are asked to invest first, then trust that their money will be used wisely.

 

Reliance on Our Sponsor and Its Affiliates: Neither the Fund itself nor the Manager will have any employees. Instead, we will rely on our Sponsor’s management team. Accordingly, our ability to achieve our investment objectives and to pay distributions to you will depend upon the ability of our Sponsor’s real estate professionals. If the principals of our Sponsor left or became unable to perform their job duties, we might be unable to execute on our investment strategy and the value of your investment in the Fund could suffer. Any adverse changes in our relationship with our Sponsor, or in our Sponsor’s operations or financial condition, could also adversely affect the Fund and thus the value of your investment.

 

The Fund Stands On Its Own: The Fund will either succeed or fail on its own account. Although certain affiliates of the Fund have been successful, there is no guaranty that the Fund will be successful. Further, neither the Sponsor, Manager, nor any other person or entity, has committed to provide financial assistance to the Fund should such assistance become necessary.

 

Ability To Survive as a Going Concern: In the audited financial statements attached to this Offering Circular, our auditor has noted the Fund has not yet commenced planned principal operations and has not generated revenues or profits since inception, and that these factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Fund’s ability to continue as a “going concern.” As further noted by our auditor, the Fund’s ability to continue as a going concern in the next twelve months is dependent upon its ability to obtain capital financing from investors sufficient to meet current and future obligations, and to deploy that capital effectively to produce profits.  No assurance can be given that the Fund will be successful in these efforts.

 

Possibility of Incomplete Due Diligence: The Manager intends to perform “due diligence” on each asset we purchase, meaning that we will seek out and review information about the property, seller, market and other information the Manager deems relevant. However, due diligence is as much an art as a science. As a practical matter, it is simply impossible to review all of the information about a given piece of real estate, and there is no assurance that all of the information we will review will be accurate or complete in all respects. For example, sometimes important information is hidden or simply unavailable, or a third party might have an incentive to conceal information or provide inaccurate information, and we cannot verify all the information we receive independently. It is also possible that we will reach inaccurate conclusions about the information we review.

 

Selection of Properties: To achieve satisfactory returns for our investors, the Manager must identify properties that satisfy our investment selection criteria and that can be acquired at reasonable prices. There is no guaranty that the Manager will be able to do so. Because the Fund is a newly organized entity and has not yet acquired any properties, you will not have an opportunity to evaluate the terms of any transactions or other financial data concerning our selected properties prior to investing. We cannot be sure that we will be successful in identifying and acquiring properties on financially attractive terms, or that we will achieve our investment objectives. Further, we could face delays in locating suitable investment properties. Such delays could decrease returns on your investment.

 

Property Values Could DecreaseThe value of the property we own could decline, perhaps significantly. Factors that could cause the value of our property to decline include, but are not limited to: Changes in interest rates; Competition from existing properties and new construction; Changes in national or local economic conditions; Changes in zoning; Environmental contamination or liabilities; Changes in local market conditions; Fires, floods, and other casualties; Uninsured losses; Undisclosed defects in property; and Incomplete or inaccurate due diligence.

 

Pricing of Assets: The success of the Fund and its ability to make distributions to Investors depends on the Manager’s ability to gauge the value of real estate assets. Although the Manager and its principals are experienced real estate investors and will rely on various objective criteria to select properties for investment, ultimately the value of these assets is as much an art as a science, and there is no guaranty that the Fund and its advisors will be successful.

 

Competition for Properties: The U.S. commercial real estate market today is competitive, with an abundance of capital chasing a limited supply of quality properties. Our competitors may have greater financial resources than we do and a greater ability to borrow funds to acquire properties. The fierce competition for quality properties will tend to limit our choices and increase the amount we are required to pay for properties that meet our investment criteria, which in turn will tend to reduce yields.

 

Ability to Attract and/or Retain Tenants Our success depends on our ability to attract and retain tenants in our properties. The risks we face include the following:

 

  • Competition from other landlords could keep us from raising rents, or require us to provide financial or other inducements or concessions to attract tenants (g., rent concessions or costs incurred for tenant improvements).
  • Changes in economic conditions generally could reduce demand for our properties.
  • Existing tenants might not renew their leases.
  • Portions of buildings could remain vacant for extended periods.
  • We are subject to the risk that our tenants may default on their obligations, or file for bankruptcy protection.
  • Certain of our properties may be specifically suited to the needs of a certain type of tenant, and we may have difficulty leasing such properties in the event of a vacancy.

 

Any of these circumstances would hurt the Fund financially. If vacancy rates are higher than we expect, we may suffer reduced revenues resulting in less cash available to be distributed to Investors. In addition, the resale value of a property with vacancies could be decreased because the value of a property may depend on the value of the leases of such property.

 

Operating Expenses: The costs of operating real estate – including taxes, insurance, utilities, and maintenance – tend to move up over time. We have limited control over some of our operating costs, and if our costs increase it may reduce the amount available for distribution to investors.

 

Unit Rehabilitation and Capital Improvements:  To retain and attract tenants at favorable rental rates, the Fund may be required to expend substantial funds for tenant improvements and refurbishments. Although we expect to maintain sufficient reserves and/or borrowing capacity for these purposes, these resources might not be adequate. If we have insufficient resources to fund tenant improvements, we may be unable to meet our investment objectives, which could reduce the amount of distributions to Investors.

 

Development and Construction: We might renovate properties or engage in other real estate development activities from time to time, if consistent with our overall investment strategy. Development and construction can be time-consuming and are fraught with risk, including the risk that projects will be delayed or cost more than budgeted.

 

Reliance on Third Parties: We expect to engage third parties to provide essential services to the Fund, including, without limitation, on-site property management and construction. If a third party we retain performs poorly or becomes unable to fulfill its obligations, the Fund’s business could be severely disrupted and our financial condition could be adversely affected. Disputes between us and our third party service providers could disrupt our business and may result in litigation or other forms of legal proceedings (e.g. arbitration), which could require us to expend significant time, money and other Fund resources, which could adversely affect the Fund’s financial position. We might also be subject to, or become liable for, legal claims by our tenants or other parties relating to work performed by third parties we have contracted with, even if we have sought to limit or disclaim our liability for such claims or have sought to insure the Fund and its affiliates against such claims.

 

Financial ProjectionsWe have prepared financial projections reflecting what we believe are reasonable assumptions concerning the conduct of our business. However, the nature of real estate development and investment is such that at least some of our assumptions are likely to be mistaken, either for better or for worse, so that the actual results of investing in the properties are likely to be different than the results reflected in the projections, possibly by a wide amount. The real estate industry can be volatile and difficult to predict.

 

Lack of Diversification: The Fund will invest in only multifamily communities, which is just one of many types of real estate investments (others include commercial, retail, etc.). Furthermore, in the early stages of the Fund’s life, it will own real estate in only a small number of geographic locations. Investors looking for diversification will have to create their own diversified portfolio by investing in other opportunities in addition to the Fund.

 

Our Ability To Implement Our Investment Strategy Will Depend On the Success of this Offering: Our ability to successfully implement our investment strategy will depend, in part, upon our ability to successfully raise money in this Offering. If we are not successful in raising the maximum amount we have sought in this Offering, we may not have adequate capital to fully implement our investment strategy, which could adversely affect the Fund’s performance.

 

Changes To Our Investment Strategy: The Manager has broad discretion to change our investment strategy and guidelines at any time without giving prior notice to, or seeking approval from, our Investors.

 

Inability to Implement Liquidity Transactions:  We will typically aim to hold our properties for approximately five years (although certain properties may be held for longer or shorter periods depending on the characteristics of each property and prevailing market conditions), at which point we intend to seek a “liquidity event,” such as a sale or refinancing of the property. However, there is no guarantee that we will be able to successfully pursue a liquidity event with respect to any of our properties. Market conditions may delay or even prevent the Manager from pursuing liquidity events. If we do not or cannot liquidate our real estate portfolio, or if we experience delays due to market conditions, this could delay Investors’ ability to receive a return of their investment indefinitely and may even result in losses, notwithstanding the provisions of the LLC Agreement.

 

Need for Additional CapitalThe real estate industry is capital intensive, and the inability to obtain financing could limit our growth. We may need to raise more money in the future so we can continue to acquire and operate properties. In addition, we might need to raise money to make capital improvements required by law or by market conditions, or for other purposes. There is no guarantee that funding will be available to us when we need it, or on terms that are not adverse to your interests. If we cannot raise additional funding when needed, our operations and prospects could be negatively affected.

 

Risk of Dilution: If we raise additional capital in the future by issuing equity interests in the Fund, your ownership interest in the Fund would be diluted.

 

Future Securities Could Have Superior Rights:  The Fund might issue securities in the future that have rights superior to the rights associated with the Series A Investor Shares. For example, the holders of those securities could have the right to receive distributions before any distributions are made to Investors, or distributions that are higher, dollar for dollar, than the distributions paid to the holders of the Series A Investor Shares, or the right to receive all their money back on a liquidation of the Fund before the holders of the Series A Investor Shares receive anything.

 

Risks Associated with Leverage: We intend to borrow money to finance the acquisition of new properties, to pay for the renovation of property, and for other purposes. While debt financing can improve the Fund’s ability to successfully implement its business strategy, debt financing also carries significant risks for Investors because debt service payments will reduce cash available for distribution. Generally, our degree of leverage may also increase our vulnerability to downturns in the real estate market or in economic conditions generally. There is no guaranty that we will generate sufficient cash flow to meet our debt service obligations, and we may be unable to repay, refinance or extend our debt when due. We may also give our lender(s) security interests in our assets as collateral for our debt obligations. If we are unable to meet our debt service obligations, those assets could be foreclosed upon, which could negatively affect our ability to generate cash flows to fund distributions to Investors. We may also be required to sell assets to repay debt, and may be forced to sell at times that are unfavorable to the Fund, which would likewise negatively affect our ability to operate successfully.

 

Risks of Seller Financing:  We might sell a property and finance all or part of the selling price by extending credit to the purchaser in the form of a promissory note. Should a purchaser default, we might not get paid, or might have to spend a substantial amount enforcing the obligation.

 

Lack of a Credit RatingCredit rating agencies, notably Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s, assign credit ratings to debt issuers, which are intended to help investors gauge the ability of the issuer to repay debt. The Fund has not been rated by Moody’s or Standard & Poor’s and, as a result, Investors have no objective measure by which to judge the creditworthiness of the Fund.

 

Limited Seller WarrantiesIn most cases, the Fund will be required to purchase property in “as is” condition, with few if any representations or warranties by from the seller. If we learn that a property has defects after closing, we may not be able to look to the seller for reimbursement.

 

Personal Injury Liability:  As a landlord, we may be subject to legal claims for injuries that occur in or outside our properties, e.g., “slip and fall” injuries. Although we expect to maintain our properties in a customary and commercially reasonable manner and to carry insurance against potential liability in amounts we believe are adequate, it is possible that we could suffer liabilities in excess of our insurance coverage or uninsured liabilities.

 

Environmental Risks: We will conduct typical environmental testing on the properties we acquire to determine the existence of significant environmental hazards. However, it is impossible to be certain of all the ways that properties have been used, raising the possibility that environmental hazards could exist despite our environmental investigations. Under federal and state laws, moreover, a current or previous owner or operator of real estate may be required to remediate any hazardous conditions without regard to whether the owner knew about or caused the contamination. Similarly, the owner of real estate may be subject to common law claims by third parties based on damages and costs resulting from environmental contamination. The cost of investigating and remediating environmental contamination can be substantial, even catastrophic.

 

ADA Compliance: The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (the “ADA”) requires all public buildings to meet certain standards for accessibility by disabled persons. When constructed or acquired by the Fund, it is anticipated that each property will comply with all current requirements of the ADA. However, if a property is not compliant with all requirements of the ADA and is not “grandfathered” into compliance, or if additional requirements are imposed in the future, whether pursuant to the ADA or otherwise, we would need to make modifications to that property and/or additional expenditures.

 

Regulation and Zoning:  All of the Fund’s properties will be subject to extensive building and zoning ordinances and codes, which can change at any time. Changes in these laws and regulations could affect one or more of our properties adversely.

 

Casualty Losses A fire, earthquake, hurricane, mold infestation, or other casualty could materially and adversely affect the operation of one or more properties, even if the Fund carries adequate insurance.

 

Changes in Laws: Changes in laws, including but not limited to zoning laws, environmental laws, tax laws, or the laws governing how we are allowed to raise money from investors, could harm the Fund and reduce the return to Investors.

 

Limitation on Rights in LLC Agreement: The Fund’s LLC Agreement limits your rights in several important ways, including these:

 

  • The LLC Agreement significantly curtails your right to bring legal claims against management, even if they make mistakes that cost you money.
  • The LLC Agreement limits your right to obtain information about the Fund and to inspect its books and records.
  • Investors can remove the Manager only in very limited circumstances, even if you think the Manager is doing a bad job.
  • The Manager is allowed to amend the LLC Agreement in certain respects without your consent.
  • The LLC Agreement restricts your right to sell or otherwise transfer your interest, if the Manager determines that the transfer would jeopardize the status of the Fund as a REIT.
  • The LLC Agreement gives the Manager the right to buy back your Series A Investor Shares without your consent if the Manager determines that (i) the Fund would otherwise become subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (after referred to as “ERISA”), (ii) the Fund’s status as a REIT would otherwise be jeopardized, or (iii) you have engaged in certain misconduct.

 

Limitations on Rights in Investment Agreement:  To purchase an Series A Investor Share, you are required to sign our Investment Agreement. The Investment Agreement would limit your rights in several important ways if you believe you have claims against us arising from the purchase of your Series A Investor Shares:

 

  • In general, your claims would be resolved through arbitration, rather than through the court system. Any such arbitration would be conducted in Wilmington, Delaware, which might not be convenient for you.
  • You would not be entitled to a jury trial.
  • You would not be entitled to recover any lost profits or special, consequential, or punitive damages.
  • If you lost your claim against us, you would be required to pay our expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees. If you won, we would be required to pay yours.

 

Conflicts of Interests: Our interests could conflict with your interests in a number of important ways, including these:

 

  • The Fund itself has no employees. The Fund is externally managed by the Manager, which is an affiliate of our Sponsor and will rely on our Sponsor’s executive management and real estate professionals. Your interests might be better served if our management devoted its full attention to maximizing the value of the assets purchased by the Fund. Instead, our management will be managing the assets and liabilities of other companies, some of which may compete directly with the Fund. For more information, including how we will attempt to manage such conflicts, please refer to the “Allocation of Expenses and Investment Opportunities” section beginning on page 53.
  • Our Sponsor and its affiliates, including the individuals who will be responsible for managing the Fund, will have business interests wholly unrelated to the Fund, all of which will require a commitment of time.
  • Although we will always seek to establish terms that are fair to the Fund, the terms of the Management Agreement were negotiated between related parties, and therefore may not be as favorable to the Fund as if they had been negotiated between unrelated third parties.
  • The Manager will receive fees based, indirectly, on the amount of capital we raise in this Offering, and will also receive fees based on the value of the property the Fund acquires, the value of property the Fund sells, the rental income the Fund receives, and the amount of financing the Fund obtains. In each instances, these fees may introduce incentives for the Manager to take actions (g., raising and deploying capital) that may not necessarily be in the best interests of Investors.
  • The property acquisition and disposition fees payable to the Manager may, to some extent, give the Manager an incentive to buy or sell more properties, even when such purchases or sales might be disadvantageous to the Fund. Likewise, our construction management fees may give the Manager an incentive to engage in construction and development activities with respect to our properties even when such activities might be disadvantageous to the Fund.
  • If the Fund invests in a Joint Venture, the Manager will receive fees from the Fund and might also receive fees directly from the Joint Ventures. This could give the Manager an incentive to target Joint Venture opportunities rather than direct investments, even when doing so might not necessarily be in the best interests of Investors.
  • The Manager will be entitled to a monthly fee equal to 5% of the gross rents collected, and in turn will required to pay for the services of one or more reputable third-party property-management companies. The Manager might have an incentive to hire a sub-par property-management company, to make a profit on the “spread.”
  • Our Sponsor and its affiliates might not invest significant equity in the Fund. If they do not, their economic interests could be in conflict with the interests of Investors.
  • We may buy assets from or sell assets to affiliates of our Sponsor. Although we will always seek to establish a fair, arm’s-length price for assets, the interests of our Sponsor and its affiliates may be adverse to the Fund’s interests (and thus your interests as an Investor).
  • The lawyers who prepared the Fund’s LLC Agreement, the Investment Agreement, and this Offering Statement represent us, not you. You must hire your own lawyer (at your own expense) if you want your interests to be represented.

 

No Market for the Series A Investor Shares; Limits on Transferability: There are several obstacles to selling or otherwise transferring your Series A Investor Shares:

 

  • There will be no established market for your Series A Investor Shares, meaning you could have difficulty finding a buyer.
  • Under the LLC Agreement, the Series A Investor Shares may not be transferred if the Manager determines that the transfer could jeopardize the status of the Fund as a REIT.
  • To qualify as a REIT, the LLC Agreement limits the amount of the Fund that any one person may own, which may restrict your ability to sell Series A Investor Shares to others who have invested in the Fund.

 

Taking all that into account, you should plan to own your Series A Investor Shares indefinitely.

 

Uninsured Losses:  We will decide what kind of insurance to purchase, and in what amounts. However, some risks cannot be insured at all, or cannot be insured on an affordable basis, and the Fund might not be able to purchase or afford all the insurance it needs. Therefore, the Fund could incur an uninsured loss.

 

Risk Related to Joint Ventures: We may from time to time enter into joint ventures with financial partners selected by the Manager (see “The Fund – Joint Ventures” starting on page 17). We may rely on our real estate venture partners for a variety of matters, including, without limitation, financing, property development services, and property management services. Our real estate venture partners may have financial, business or other interests that are inconsistent with the interests of the Fund (and thus your interests as an Investor), including interests with respect to the acquisition, financing, sale or refinancing of a property, or the timing of such activities. In some instances, our real estate venture partners may have business interests that compete directly against the Fund. If our real estate venture partners perform poorly or become unable to fulfill their obligations in the joint venture, whether due to financial problems, personnel issues, operational issues, or any other reason, the Fund could be adversely affected. Disputes between us and our real estate venture partners may result in litigation or other forms of legal proceedings (e.g., arbitration), which could require us, the Manager to expend significant time, money and other Fund resources, and may adversely affect the Fund’s financial position.

 

Breaches of Security: It is possible that our systems would be “hacked,” leading to the theft or disclosure of confidential information our investors, tenants, suppliers, and other parties have provided to us. Because techniques used to obtain unauthorized access or to sabotage systems change frequently and generally are not recognized until they are launched, we and our vendors may be unable to anticipate these techniques or to implement adequate defensive measures.

 

FIRPTA Tax on Non-U.S. Sellers A non-U.S. Investor who sells Series A Investor Shares for a gain would generally be subject to tax under the Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act (FIRPTA) if the Fund does not qualify as a “domestically controlled REIT,” meaning a REIT in which less than 50% of the value of the outstanding shares are owned by non-U.S. persons. We intend to qualify as a domestically controlled REIT, but there can be no assurance we will always do so.

Disclaimer
Impact Housing REIT, LLC will invest in multifamily properties, income-producing real estate, a market that may produce returns that are different than the returns an investor could expect from other markets, including the stock market. Before our Sponsor receives anything, investors are entitled to a 7% annual return on their investment. Note: There is no guaranty that investors will receive any return on their investment, or get their capital back. In the last 5 years, the Sponsor has completed 28 projects (totaling 40 multifamily properties) which have achieved an average annual cash on cash return of 8.55% and an average project IRR of 24.74%. For more information about the Sponsor’s track record, see the Offering Circular, here. However, Impact Housing REIT, LLC is itself a newly formed company with no historical data of returns, and there is no assurance that it will achieve comparable success.
