INVEST NOW Click here to view the LRO PROPERTY PHOTOS MISCELLANEOUS PROJECT SPECIFIC RISK FACTORS • A closing date has not been seen yet for the purchase of this property. We will not originate a loan on this property until the closing process commences. • Although the borrower has negotiated to purchase the property for the stated purchase price, there can be no assurances the borrower will close on the acquisition at this price. However, the borrower's Skin-in-the-Game will not change regardless of any changes to the closing price. • The acquisition will be subject to a clean title search, and the resolution of any title or tax issues. • The renovation may be extensive, and therefore subject to delays and other unexpected issues. • The renovation will require permitting, and permits may not be obtained on time or may be denied. • Please consult the Offering Circular for further discussion of general risk factors. CLOSING CONDITIONS • Loan is conditioned upon a clean title search and valid title insurance at the time of close. DEVELOPER FEES • GROUNDFLOOR generally charges borrowers between 2% and 6% of the principal amount of the loan for our services. • GROUNDFLOOR does not take a 'spread' on any part of the interest payments. • Developers may capitalize the cost of closing into the principal amount of their request. These closing costs typically range from $500 to $1500. • Unless otherwise limited by applicable law, GROUNDFLOOR will charge a penalty of 2% for any extension made to the borrower.
