For 87 months consecutively, our Income REIT has been doing exactly that by paying investors a weekly cash distribution of between 1.5-2% (net of fees)
Aggregate value of properties owned by The Income REIT, LLC based on the most recent internal valuations as of the end of the fiscal quarter upon which our most recently announced NAV per share is based pursuant to our valuation policies. The aggregate value of the properties underlying loans made by The Income REIT, LLC is based on independent appraisals dated within six months of the original acquisition dates by RM Adviser, Realty Mogul, Co. or Realty Mogul Commercial Capital, Co., as applicable. As with any methodology used to estimate value, the methodology employed by our affiliates’ internal accountants or asset managers is based upon a number of estimates and assumptions about future events that may not be accurate or complete. For more information, see the section of our Offering Circular captioned “Description of Our Common Shares – Valuation Policies.”
Although The Income REIT has historically made monthly distributions, there is no guarantee that the REIT will make distributions, and if we do, we may fund such distributions from sources other than cash flow from operations, including, without limitation, the sale of assets, borrowings, return of capital or offering proceeds, and we have no limits on the amounts we may pay from such sources.
The Income REIT has:
- Paid investors an annualized cash distribution of between 1.2-2% (net of fees) for 87 consecutive months.
- Distributed a total of ${mogulReit1DistributionAmount} to investors to date.
- $376MM in assets purchased by approximately 7,600 unique investors.3

As is more thoroughly discussed in the Share Repurchase Program section of Novel Realty Income REIT’s Offering Circular, after 12 months of ownership, you may request up to 25% of your eligible shares to be repurchased on a quarterly basis at the most recently announced NAV per share multiplied by the Effective Repurchase Rate, which may discount the amount you receive for your repurchased shares based on how long the shares have been held.
The Effective Repurchase Rate is based on the stock purchase anniversary as follows:
| Share Repurchase Anniversary (Year) | Effective Repurchase Rate(1) |
|---|---|
| Less than 1 year | No Repurchase Allowed |
| 1 year until 2 years | 98% |
| 2 years until 3 years | 99% |
| 3 or more years | 100% |
We intend to limit the number of shares to be repurchased during any calendar year to 5.0% of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the prior calendar year (or 1.25% per quarter, with excess capacity carried over to later quarters in the calendar year). In the event that share repurchase requests exceed the 5.0% annual limit of allowable repurchases, pending requests will be honored on a pro rata basis.
As of June 30, 2023, we are receiving requests for the repurchase of our shares in excess of the repurchase limit set forth in our share repurchase program. In accordance with our share repurchase program, such share repurchase requests are honored on a pro rata basis.

Our REIT Manager may in its sole discretion, amend, suspend, or terminate the share repurchase program at any time. Reasons we may amend, suspend or terminate the share repurchase program include (i) to protect our operations and our remaining shareholders, (ii) to prevent an undue burden on our liquidity, (iii) to preserve our status as a REIT, (iv) following any material decrease in our NAV, or (v) for any other reason.
To learn more about the Income REIT's Share Repurchase Plan, please refer to the section of our full offering circular captioned “Description of Our Common Shares – Quarterly Share Repurchase Program."
Because each investor’s tax considerations are different, it is recommended that you consult with your tax advisor. You also should review the section of the offering circular entitled “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations,” including for a discussion of the special rules applicable to distributions in repurchase of shares and liquidating distributions.
Your annual detailed tax information will be reported on Form 1099-DIV, if required, and will be provided to you in electronic form by January 31 of the year following each taxable year.
A liquidity transaction could consist of a sale of all assets, a roll-off to maturity of all assets, a sale or merger of the Company, consolidation with other REITs managed by our Manager, a listing of the Company on an exchange, or any other similar transaction.
The REIT does not have a stated term. The Income REIT's Manager has the discretion to consider and execute a liquidity transaction at any time if it determines it is in the best interest of the Company.
The regulators define some investors as either ‘accredited investors’ or ‘non-accredited investors’. Both may invest in the REIT, but the amount of money that you may invest is different depending on whether you are an accredited investor or a non-accredited investor.
Accredited investors are defined as:
- Individuals earning an annual income of over $200,000 per year for the last two years ($300,000 per year if filing as a couple), with the expectation of maintaining this level of income in the future; OR
- Having a net worth of more than $1 million (individually or jointly), excluding the value of a primary residence; OR
- Being a bank, insurance company, registered investment advisor, business development company, or small business investment company; OR
- Being a general partner, executive officer, director or a related combination thereof for the issuer of a security being offered; OR
- Being a business in which all the equity owners are accredited investors; OR
- Being an employee benefit plan, a trust, charitable organization, partnership, or company with total assets in excess of $5 million.
The Income REIT focuses on investing in the following types of assets: mortgage loans, subordinated mortgage loans, mezzanine debt and participations (also referred to as B-Notes), preferred equity interests in companies whose primary business is to own and operate one or more specified commercial real estate projects, debt securities whose payments are tied to a pool of commercial real estate projects (such as commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”), collateralized debt obligations (“CDO”) and REIT senior unsecured debt), interests in publicly-traded REITs as well as direct interests in real estate that meet certain criteria outlined by the staff of the SEC. We intend to hold at least 55% of the total value of our assets in commercial mortgage-related instruments that are closely tied to one or more underlying commercial real estate projects, such as mortgage loans, subordinated mortgage loans, mezzanine debt and participations, as well as direct interests in real estate that meet certain criteria set by the staff of the SEC.

- Multi-FamilyProperties that have five or more residential units in a single building and may be further classified as garden style, low-rise, or high-rise.
- OfficeMid-rise or high-rise, downtown or suburban.
- RetailGrocery-anchored centers, shopping centers, power centers and strip malls.
- Joint Venture EquityInvestors in Joint Venture Equity own an interest in an entity (usually an LLC) that invests in the equity portion of a property. After all debt is paid, and any Preferred Equity distributions are made, the Joint Venture Equity investor receives a pro rata portion of a preferred return, cash flow, and any profits upon sale. Joint Venture Equity is the riskiest investment as it has the lowest priority of distributions, although it has the greatest upside potential.
- Mezzanine DebtSecond in line for repayment are investors in Mezzanine Debt and B Notes. Mezzanine Debt is structured as a loan secured by a pledge of interest in the entity owning the property. In the event of loan default, investors may have the right to foreclose on the interests of the entity and step into ownership of the property, subject to any senior debt. B Notes are secondary tranches of senior loans with an A/B structure, and are secured by the property itself. In the event of loan default, the investors in a B Note may participate in the right to foreclose on the property and receive sale proceeds to repay principal, unpaid interest and any fees, subject to the A Note investor.
- Preferred EquityInvestors in Preferred Equity investments own an interest in the property and have a priority over the other equity investors to receive distributions of cash flow and capital invested. In the event of loan default, Preferred Equity investors may have the right to take over control and management of the property.

Highlights
Senior Loan Originated by Starwood Mortgage Capital LLC ("Starwood")
The preferred equity investment will be subordinate to a senior loan originated by Starwood, which is anticipated for a Commercial Mortgage Backed Security (CMBS) execution
Historical Occupancy
Five of the six assets in the portfolio have been 100% leased since 2011 and portfolio occupancy is at 95% as of July 2017
Additional Equity Infusion
The Sponsor infused an additional $1.3 million into the transaction during the June 2017 refinance
Highlights
Cash Flow
The successful execution of the business plan is not overly dependent upon capital improvement implementation. The Property currently features strong in-place cash flow and high occupancy.
Resilient Market
The Property is situated in a historically resilient market. Per CoStar, El Paso incurred cumulative job losses of less than 3% during the last recession, and the solid base of government jobs in the area should provide a hedge against future economic downturns.
Additional Upside
With below market rents, the Property offers significant rental upside via mark-to-market as well as additional renovation potential in the form of strategic amenitization.
Highlights
Cash Flow & Value-Add Opportunity
The property features in-place cash flow and the potential to increase rents by marking them to market. Additionally, there is the possibility of value creation through a strategic renovation program.
Demand for Multifamily
According to Newmark Knight Frank, the supply of new apartment units in the Virginia Beach submarket has slowed in recent years and demand remains high. Per CoStar, the Hampton Roads market sustains apartment demand because many residents are government employees in the prime renter cohort (20 to 34 years old).
Stable Market
Per CoStar, Virginia Beach fundamentals are stable, and the market continues to grow while vacancy remains low. There has been an inflow of new residents into the Virginia Beach submarket since 2010. Further, the large government employment base lends to this stability, and could hedge against an economic downtown.
Highlights
Cash Flow
The investment was underwritten to provide double-digit cash yield to the REIT, with underwritten annual cash flow ranging from 12.2% and 17.5% and underwritten average cash-on-cash of 15.3%.
Partner
The Real Estate Company is an experienced office operator, as well as a repeat partner of Novel Realty. It has owned and operated real estate properties with a total basis exceeding $346 million.
Market
The Columbus office market is one of the healthiest in the country thanks to significant employment gains and years of conservative construction (according to CoStar). Over the past five years, the market has experienced average annual rent growth of 5.6% and an average vacancy rate of 5.1%.
Highlights
Growing Market and Sub-Market
Per CoStar, Richmond, and the Shockoe-Bottom sub-market in particular, are in the midst of an exceptional growth period. Affordable cost of living, high quality of life, and job growth in high paying sectors are attracting young professionals to the area with strong population growth projected in the near term.
Management and Value-Add Upside
We believe there is both management upside by raising rents to market rates as well as value-creation potential by refreshing unit interiors, common areas and amenities to lease renovated units at higher rental rates.
Pedestrian Friendly
The properties are adjacent to the only supermarket in the Shockoe Bottom sub-market, a drug store, a coffee shop, and a public transit stop. There is also ground floor retail at the properties which includes a gym and fitness center, a salon, and a laundry pick-up/drop-off. In addition, there are many dining and cultural opportunites, as well as parks and schools within walking distance of the properties.
Highlights
Building Location
The Lubbock Medical Office Building ("The Property") is well located within the Lubbock Medical District, proximal to over 1,100 hospital beds. The Property is adjacent to the largest hospital within the Covenant Health System network, the 394-bed Covenant Medical Center, and their new 150-bed hospital tower expecting completion in winter of 2021.
Credit Tenant
The tenant at the Property is Covenant Health System, whose parent company is Providence St. Joseph Health which has a Moody’s Aa3 rating. Covenant Health System is a dominant healthcare provider in the region; it serves most of the West Texas and New Mexico markets and has a strong presence in Lubbock with a 60% market share.
NNN Lease
Under its triple-net lease, the tenant is responsible for all expenses, including repairs and maintenance, capital expenditures, property management fees, and owner’s insurance.
Highlights
Market
Jefferson County has been resilient during the COVID-19 crisis. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, as of November 2020, the County reported an unemployment rate of 3.8% vs. 6.7% national average. We believe the submarket has weathered the coronavirus pandemic as compared to denser, urban areas.
High Barriers to Entry
The Property is the first new multifamily development in Fenton in over 12 years. Given its newer build, we believe that it separates itself from the competition in terms of quality and location. We believe the Property's strong lease-up velocity demonstrates the need for additional rental properties in the area; however, scarcity of land allowed for commercial/multifamily development in addition to strict municipal codes will help prevent an influx of supply for the forseeable future. There are currently no apartment communities being developed in the immediate area.
Location
The Property benefits from having exceptional access and visibility and is conveniently located near virtually all of St. Louis' major interstates. Within a ten-mile radius, there are over 175,000 jobs, 6.9 million square feet of retail space within a five-mile radius, as well as a wide variety of nearby amenities.
Highlights
Value-Add
As the only property constructed in the submarket between 2001-2015, Kings Landing is uniquely positioned for a renovation. The business plan is to spend approximately $12,000 per unit to upgrade the interior of the units to include quartz counters, vinyl flooring, modern finishes, and a tech package.
Asset Quality
Kings Landing's construction as a mid-rise asset provides a significant contrast to the majority of Creve Coeur multifamily, which is primarily comprised of 1990s and older vintage, and largely garden-style units, with some high-end construction beginning in 2016. Additionally, the Property is the only property in the comparable set with ground-floor retail spaces.
Market
Kings Landing is in Creve Coeur, MO, an affluent suburb of St. Louis. Creve Coeur is one of the most educated suburbs in St. Louis, with higher education attainment of 68%. It has one of the highest median area incomes in the MSA at $96K, and an unemployment rate of 5.1% compared to 6.1% nationally.
Highlights
Desirable Product Type
Roosevelt Commons is a brand new, 2020 built property comprised of 36 townhome style units. Interior finishes include stainless steel appliance packages, luxury vinyl plank flooring, and modern flat panel cabinetry amongst various other design touches which allow the property to achieve above market rents.
10-Year Tax Abatement
Eight of the units have been reserved for residents earning 80% Area Median Income (AMI). This qualifies the Property to receive a 10-year tax abatement from Vancouver's MFTE program which runs through the year 2030. By not having to pay taxes on the improvements to the land, the Property averages a tax savings of over $120,000 a year throughout the hold period.
Market
Roosevelt Commons is in Vancouver, a city just north of Portland on the Washington state side of the metro. Being in Washington state, Vancouver has no income tax. With over thirty-one thousand multifamily units, it is the largest submarket in the region. Vancouver's rent growth has outperformed the overall Portland metro for the past six years, and year-over-year submarket gains are significantly stronger than Portland's performance.
Highlights
Desirable Product Type
Minnehaha Meadows is a brand new, 2020 built property comprised of 49 townhome style units. Interior finishes include stainless steel appliance packages, luxury vinyl plank flooring, and modern flat panel cabinetry amongst various other design touches which allow the property to outperform the market. The property also features central air which is a unique feature for apartments in the Pacific Northwest. Each unit is 1,288 square feet and is ideally suited to a growing work from home tenant base.
Cash Flow
The Property has experienced exceptional leasing velocity since construction was completed in June 2020. Within six months, the property reached 100% occupancy and between March and May of 2021 was averaging ten new leases per month.
Market
Minnehaha Meadows is in Vancouver, a city just north of Portland, Oregon on the Washington State side of the metro. Since Vancouver is located in the Washington State and not Oregon, there is no income tax in Vancouver. With over thirty-one thousand multifamily units, it is the largest submarket in the region. Vancouver's rent growth has outperformed the overall Portland metro for the past six years, and year-over-year submarket gains are significantly stronger than Portland's performance.
Highlights
New Construction
Bentley Apartments is a 138 unit apartment community built in 2020. Equipped with premium finishes and high-quality construction, the Sponsor believes the Property competes well against the new comparable properties in the submarket.
Cash Flow
The Property was developed within a Community Reinvestment Area and received a 15-year full tax abatement on the improved value of the Property starting in tax year 2021. As a result of the tax abatement, a potential to push rents organically, and the favorable interest rate environment, the Sponsor believes the Property is positioned to have strong cash flow.
Location
Bentley Apartments is located in Grove City, OH a thriving suburb south of downtown Columbus. Through a mix of public-private projects in downtown Grove City, the area has transformed over the past five years and attracted an influx of young professionals. Additionally, the Property is located near several retail, dining, and entertainment options.
Highlights
Value-Add
Haverford Place, built in 2001, is primed for a value-add business plan. The submarket has exhibited strong demand for premium finishes. The Property is positioned to capture premiums to current rental rates through higher-end interior upgrades such as granite counters, backsplashes, flooring, upgraded lighting and fixtures, and other interior upgrades.
Desirable Product Type
Haverford Place is comprised of 73% large two- and three-bedroom townhomes, which are desirable in this submarket. The unit sizes at Haverford Place are on average 259 SF larger than other nearby comparable properties. Larger unit sizes are highly sought-after due to the increased prevalence of remote working.
Market
Georgetown, KY has seen significant development through recent investment in the Toyota manufacturing plant and public infrastructure throughout the city. There have been new developments such as shopping centers and dining options. Additionally, the submarket is home to Georgetown College, multiple historical reserves and museums, and state-renowned Scott County Community Park.
Highlights
Market
The Portland-Vancouver-Hillsboro metropolitan statistical area (“MSA”) has recorded cumulative rent growth of 47.2% over the last 10 years, according to CoStar. The submarket of Gresham has exceeded that mark with rent growth of 58.8% over the same period. Over each of the past six years, rent growth in Gresham has been stronger than metro-wide performance in Portland.
Supply Constraint
An average of 27 permits were issued annually totaling 3,230 multifamily units in Multnomah County from 2015 to 2019 compared to 2021 where only two building permits were issued for a total of 352 units, according to JLL. Considering the City of Portland’s implementation of Inclusionary Housing and Urban Growth Boundary programs, we believe the MSA is one of the more challenging markets to develop in across the country.
Desirable Product Type
Edison offers desirable open-concept floorplans with modern design touches. All units have in-unit washers and dryers, as well as air conditioning. 60 of the 64 units are large 2-bed/2-bath, and the average unit is 900 square feet. Compared to the City of Portland's average apartment size of 765 square feet, renters at the Edison have over 17% more living space on average.
Highlights
Strong Sub-Market
The Property is in a well located, highly visible location in Columbia Tusculum, Ohio, the oldest and one of the most prestigious neighborhoods in Cincinnati, Ohio. According to CoStar, submarket vacancy is 0.8% and 5.3% for retail and office, respectively, in a submarket that has 4.6 million square feet of retail and 3.9 million square feet of office. Additionally, we believe that this tenant mix is ideally suited for this high-income neighborhood, which has over a $146,000 average household income within a 1-mile radius, according to CoStar.
Operational Upside
We believe there is an opportunity to improve the Property through capital expenditures and property improvements as well as renewals of existing tenancy at the same or higher rental rates. According to CoStar, rents for the retail and office suites at the Property are 6% and 29% below submarket rents as of August 2022, respectively.
Highly Occupied
As of August 2022, the Property is 100% occupied by a diverse roster of tenants with a weighted average lease term of 3.1 years. The office building at the Property totals 48,137 square feet and is anchored by IPSOS SA, a French market research and consulting firm with 17,000 employees worldwide and a market capitalization of approximately $2 billion. IPSOS comprises 33,284 square feet and is leased through August 2026 at a below market rental rate, according to CoStar. The three retail buildings at the Property total 25,661 square feet and include retail uses that we believe are e-commerce resistant, such as a bank, gym, hair salon, and Verizon store as well as several restaurants.
Highlights
Strong In-Place Leases and Projected Cash Flow
As of the acquisition date, the Property is 96.4% leased.
Defense-Focused Tenancy with Specialized Buildouts
The Property features a strong tenant mix, including defense contractors with uses directly related to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base ("Wright-Patt AFB").
Property Location
The Property is located in Beavercreek, Ohio, directly adjacent to Dayton and approximately three miles from Wright-Patt AFB, one of the largest U.S. Air Force Bases in operation. The City of Beavercreek is an unincorporated municipality and therefore does not assess city income tax on its residents, including tenants at the Property. Because of this tax benefit as well as its close proximity to Wright-Patt AFB, we believe the Property is in a more desirable location than its neighboring areas. Wright-Patt AFB has over 30,000 employees and is the largest single site employer in the state of Ohio with an economic impact of $4.2 billion per year. It is also the headquarters for major units such as the Air Force Materiel Command, which conducts research and development among other duties, and the Air Force Research Laboratory, which leads the discovery, development, and integration of technologies for the Air Force. Wright-Patt AFB also receives government funding for various projects, including the current construction of a 225,000 square foot National Air and Space Intelligence Center, which is expected to add 980 workstations, mission-specific function, meeting areas and advanced visualization capabilities.

Investment Summary
- MogulREIT I has acquired a $2,000,000 preferred equity investment related to the acquisition of a 150,000 square foot office property in Canton, Ohio.
- The property was originally built in 2001 as a build-to-suit building for General Electric. The property is currently 100% leased to Synchrony Financial ("Synchrony"), a spin-off of General Electric, that has been at the property since construction.
- Synchrony, which filed for its IPO in 2014 and has a BBB- credit rating from Standard and Poor's, recently signed a new 10 year lease at the property. The lease, signed in January 2016, is guaranteed by Synchrony.
- The preferred equity investment is fully amortizing over a 5.5 year period and is intended to be paid off by December 2021, prior to the expiration of the new lease in 2025.
- The investment has a 10% fixed interest rate.
- The sponsor and its affiliates have previously acquired 11 assets with a combined value of $40 million, and specialize in acquiring office and retail assets with long term investment objectives.
