Asset Acquisitions

 

Acquisition of Controlled Subsidiary Investment – Neighborhood Partners 1, LLC 

 

On May 31, 2017, we directly acquired ownership of a “majority-owned subsidiary”, Neighborhood Partners 1, LLC (the “Fundrise eFUND - La Vista - Controlled Subsidiary”), for an initial purchase price of $404,625, which is the initial stated value of our equity interest in the Fundrise eFUND - La Vista Controlled Subsidiary (the “La Vista Investment”). The Fundrise eFUND - La Vista- Controlled Subsidiary used the proceeds to acquire an existing two bedroom, one bathroom, 697 square foot home located in the East Hollywood neighborhood of Los Angeles at 5133 La Vista Court, Los Angeles, CA, (the “La Vista Property”). The closing of both the La Vista Investment and the La Vista Property occurred concurrently.  

 

The La Vista Investment was funded with $404,400 in proceeds from that certain Promissory Grid Note by and between us and the sponsor.

 

The Fundrise eFUND - La Vista - Controlled Subsidiary is managed by us.

 

Pursuant to the agreements governing the La Vista Investment (the “La Vista Operative Agreements”), we have full authority for the management of the Fundrise eFUND - La Vista - Controlled Subsidiary, including the La Vista Property. In addition, Fundrise Lending, LLC, an affiliate of our Manager and a wholly-owned subsidiary of our sponsor, earned an origination fee of approximately 2.0% of the La Vista Investment, paid directly by the Fundrise eFUND - La Vista - Controlled Subsidiary.

 

In addition to the purchase price of $404,625, we anticipate additional hard costs of approximately $142,655 to the planned renovation, including additional soft costs bringing the total projected project cost for the La Vista Property to approximately $547,280. There can be no assurance that the anticipated completion cost will be achieved.

 

The La Vista Investment is anticipated to be held for 12 months, including sale upon completion of renovation improvements. We believe the property will be able to achieve up to a 22% profit margin upon sale based on a $715,000 or $1,025 PSF sellout price. However, there can be no assurance that such value will be achieved.

 

The La Vista Investment thesis is based primarily upon the site’s improving location, physical barriers to entry, basis and market sales for comparable homes in the immediate submarket. The East Hollywood neighborhood is among the densest neighborhoods in Los Angeles, creating natural barriers to entry not found in other parts of Los Angeles. The East Hollywood neighborhood is considered to be highly walkable, with most amenities within walking distance of the La Vista Property.

 

In addition to attractive walkability and density, East Hollywood's prime location provides residents and visitors with convenient access to the entire metro L.A. area. The Hollywood (US-101), Golden State (I-5), Ventura (SR-170), and Glendale (SR-2) freeways are the main arteries serving the community. The MetroRail (Red Line) subway system links North Hollywood to downtown Los Angeles, providing residents a convenient commute to this major employment center. Hollywood is Los Angeles County's top tourist destination, attracting millions of tourists annually. West Hollywood's legendary Sunset Strip, is among the top-ten most popular attractions in Southern California. Other attractions include the Hollywood Boulevard Walk of Fame, Grauman's Chinese Theatre, the famous Hollywood sign, Universal Studios, Universal CityWalk, and Griffith Park.

 

We believe these strong market fundamentals will continue to make the East Hollywood submarket a desirable investment location.

 

 

 

 

Promissory Grid Note

 

On May 26, 2017, we entered into a Promissory Grid Note (the “Promissory Grid Note”), as borrower, with Rise Companies Corp. (“Lender”) as the lender thereto.

Accordingly, prior to entering into the Promissory Grid Note, our Manager’s independent representative reviewed and approved of the terms of the Promissory Grid Note.

Interest
