SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL

Location: Canton, OH

Property Type: Office

Total Investment: $2,000,000

Outstanding Balance (as of 6/30/19): $1,045,171

Purpose of Investment: The sponsor used the proceeds from the investment to acquire the asset and plans to hold for the long term.

Seniority: Preferred Equity

Date Added to REIT: 8/19/2016

Maturity Date: 12/1/2021

Asset Management Update: This is a single-tenant 100% net leased asset. To date, the property has performed as projected. In 2017, the tenant completed over $1.7 million in tenant improvements, with $1.1 million funded by the tenant, which was a good indicator that the tenant was financially sound. Since that time, there have been no major updates at the property, and the borrower has not received any complaints from the tenant. The investment is structured to fully amortize over a 5.5-year period; thus, the loan should fully amortize prior to the date that the tenant would need to give notice to exercise their termination option in March 2022. The investment has been amortizing as agreed and nearly half of the principal is paid off.

The borrower has indicated that it is working towards a refinance during this extension period. The property is currently master leased to Northside Hospital through December 2019. The property is currently 62% leased, and the borrower is in the late stages of a lease for approximately 8,500 square feet, which would bring leased occupancy .to 78%.

Date Added to REIT: 11/15/2017

Interior renovations have commenced and are currently awaiting a City permit to approve the initial work; the borrower has now communicated that the building interiors will be completed by October 2019. The project has experienced delays, and the borrower had construction overruns that resulted in an increased loan amount, from $3,575,000 to the current loan amount of $4,490,000.

Location: San Francisco, CA

Property Type: Multifamily

Total Investment: $4,750,000

Outstanding Balance (as of 6/30/19): $4,750,000

Purpose of Investment: The borrower used the proceeds of this investment to acquire the property and fund renovations.

Seniority: Bridge Loan

Date Added to REIT: 2/16/2018

Maturity Date: 3/1/2021

Asset Management Update: As of March 2019, the property is 100% occupied. The capital improvements consisted of two phases. The borrower has completed the first phase, which consisted of renovating four previously vacant units and completing seismic upgrades to the building. The borrower is currently completing the second phase, which consists of converting the garage units into alternative dwelling units, or ADUs, and completing seismic upgrades relating to such units. Although a few months behind schedule due to an ADU upgrade permit that was delayed, the borrower has leased the four previously vacant units at an average premium of 16% to proforma. Because of the delays, there was an increase to the budget of $250,000 which was funded by a capital call from equity partners, not by an increase in senior loan proceeds. The borrower communicated that the exit plan is to either sell the property or refinance the loan to cheaper capital once the property has a few months of stabilization.

AMERIGROUP CORP HQ

Location: Virginia Beach, VA

Property Type: Office

Total Investment: $1,700,000

Outstanding Balance (as of 6/30/19): $1,700,000

Purpose of Investment: The sponsor used the proceeds of the investment to acquire the property.

Seniority: Preferred Equity

Date Added to REIT: 5/21/2018

Maturity Date: 11/10/2023

Asset Management Update: The property is a 100% NNN leased asset to Amerigroup, a wholly owned subsidiary of Anthem Group (NYSE: ANTM). Because of consistent institutional ownership and tenancy, the Property has been well-maintained, regularly upgraded and is in excellent condition, both in terms of aesthetic quality and building systems. Amerigroup’s lease expires in October 2020, and if the tenant intends to renew, they are required to deliver notice by December 31, 2019. The borrower has communicated to us that they expect to engage the tenant for renewal in early Q4 2019. We believe that the tenant risk is mitigated by the long lead time to re-lease the building and the loan structure. Regarding the latter, in the event the tenant elects not to renew, the senior lender, who was also the original seller, is obligated to provide a 30-month extension and a $1.3 million credit to offset senior loan debt service and to pay down a portion of the principal balance. In that scenario, the borrower also agreed to fund $550,000 into a MogulREIT I controlled reserve account. In return, MogulREIT I agreed to fund up to $2.35 million for required leasing capital, subject to new lease terms’ meeting a minimum debt yield test.

Date Added to REIT: 10/22/2018

The deal was closed in April 2019 and repaid a portion of the senior mortgage in addition to approximately $165,000 in principal towards our mezzanine debt. The borrower is working on several leases at the largest building (2300 Market, 63,804 SF), and it has communicated that it may look to sell this building next.

The prior tenant, Gann Brothers Printing, who was the seller of the property, vacated on March 27, 2019. AMC has commenced paying rent and was scheduled to take possession in late May, but the capital improvements have been delayed slightly due to a tight construction market. In Q1, demolition was completed, and the windows were repaired. In Q2, renovations included installation of lights on the 3rd floor, HVAC units, walls, elevator, and basement floor epoxy.

Purpose of Investment: Acquire and renovate a Class B multifamily apartment complex.

Seniority: Joint Venture Equity

Date Added to REIT: 5/31/2019

Maturity Date: N/A

Asset Management Update: On 5/31/2019, MogulREIT I closed on its investment in La Privada apartments, a 240-unit multifamily property in El Paso, TX. Q2 was a partial quarter and primarily involved takeover initiatives, including finalizing unit renovation finishes, bidding and selecting contractors for capital improvements, ensuring that the property’s on-site management team is properly staffed, and re-branding the property with new ownership in the market.

Execution of the business plan has begun as interior and exterior improvements are underway. Six units were renovated through 6/30/2019, which is ahead of schedule as the proforma projected unit renovations to commence in July 2019. Before the end of Q2, two of the six renovated units were leased at an average rent increase of $138/month above previous rents and 3% above proforma. Furthermore, rents are expected to increase as exterior capital improvements are completed. Exterior capital improvements currently underway include new roofs, playground, exterior paint, HVAC replacements, and deferred maintenance. Primary focus for Q3 entails continuing the unit renovation program while moving forward with exterior improvements.

Seniority: Preferred Equity

Date Added to REIT: 8/3/2017

Payoff Date: 6/24/2019

Asset Management Update: In Q1, we executed a redemption agreement with the borrower to buy out our preferred equity investment on or before July 19, 2019. Given the leasing risk with over 55% of the rent roll expiring before December 2021, including the property’s grocery anchor, we believed that it was an appropriate time to exit the investment. On June 24, 2019, the preferred equity investment was paid off in full in the amount of $1,267,167, which included (i) $1,250,000 in outstanding principal plus $12,500 in accrued interest through July 9, 2019, (ii) a prepayment penalty of $4,167 for interest through July 18, 2019, and (iii) legal fees.

MARKET UPDATES


VIEWS FROM MANAGEMENT Dear Investor, Thank you for your continued support of MogulREIT I. We have now provided 33 consecutive months of distributions, totaling over $6.66MM. To date, 4,817 investors have invested $53.25MM into the REIT. We are also happy to share that over 67% of investors have enrolled in the distribution reinvestment plan, allowing for their distributions to compound over time. Regarding the makeup of the portfolio, as of Q2 2019, MogulREIT I has 17 investments with the underlying real estate spread across 10 states. We’re proud to have constructed a diversified portfolio for investors to get broader exposure to the commercial real estate market with a single investment into the REIT.

MACRO OVERVIEW In Q2, economic indicators remain positive, and the consensus appears to suggest that there is more economic expansion in the US. We are, however, aware that there are multiple global risks that may disrupt growth, including a potential trade war, increasing domestic political tension and civil unrest abroad, among others. We are watching these risks closely and including a potential event in our strategic thinking.

GDP GROWTH Though we believe the U.S. economy is in the late stages of recovery, we continue to believe that there will be moderated economic expansion. According to the ULI real estate economic forecast, a survey of leading real estate economists, GDP growth is forecast at 2.3% in 2019 and 1.8% in 2020. The second quarter of 2019 is in line with this forecast with a 2.1% increase in GDP. As a point of reference, 2018 ended with real GDP growth of 2.2%.

INVESTMENT STRATEGY

Since inception of MogulREIT I, we have focused on two key objectives: paying attractive and consistent cash distributions and preserving, protecting and returning initial capital contributions. At a macro level, this strategy is not changing. To date, the majority of the portfolio has been invested in fixed income type of investments including senior loans, b-notes, preferred equity and mezzanine debt. As a result of these structures, we have not had any opportunity to participate in any upside or appreciation in any of the underlying properties – we have historically strictly been paid a fixed, monthly interest payment from our borrowers and sponsors. Further to this decision, there has been no opportunity for our Net Asset Value, or NAV, to increase. This was intentional since inception of the REIT.

As we start to see several of our investments look to refinance to cheaper capital due to low interest rates, we are working to re-deploy that capital into new investments with the opportunity to participate in the upside appreciation of the underlying real estate and move our Net Asset Value, or NAV, over time. For these investments, we are targeting joint venture equity and direct acquisitions of real property. To continue to focus on our key objective of paying attractive and consistent cash distributions, we are targeting existing assets with strong tenant bases and high occupancy where we expect there to be consistent income. We are actively looking in markets that had sustained occupancy from tenants during the 2008 recession.

In Q2, we moved to implement this strategy. We have historically originated loans/fixed income investments for value-add assets, which typically have two to four-year business plans. These investments are typically shorter term and we were able to charge high interest rates due to the transitional nature of the underlying assets. With this model, the borrowers are incentivized to pay off the investments as soon as they complete their business plans. We are excited that in June and July alone, we had a total of four asset payoffs, the majority of which were earlier than expected due to execution and completion of our borrowers’ business plans or favorable sales opportunities. As a result of these payoffs, we were able to close our first joint venture equity investment in MogulREIT I, La Privada Apartments in El Paso, Texas.

We chose El Paso to launch our first joint venture equity investment as it is a growing, opportunistic city with good downside protection. Per Greysteel’s Q2 2019 report, El Paso is the 18th most populous city in the United States, with a strong demographic due to Fort Bliss, one of the nation’s largest Army bases, and University of Texas – El Paso, which has over 25,000 students. For multifamily properties, while rent growth is 60% below the national average, rent gains have averaged 3.3% in 2018 and 2.5% in 2019, and average vacancy has dropped from 10% in 2016 to 7.0% in 2019. Notably, El Paso held up well through the previous recession, with cumulative job losses of less than 3%. Many back-office jobs, specifically call centers, have recently been added in El Paso due to the large bilingual population, and annual job growth has ranged between 2.5% and 3.0% since 2016. As we look to the future of MogulREIT I, we believe that La Privada meets the long-term strategy of the REIT by offering strong risk mitigants for any market correction along with income and solid growth potential.

On the topic of risk mitigation, especially given the Fed’s interest rate pullback, which is often seen as an indication that the Fed believes the economy requires a boost, we are constantly assessing market conditions to dictate REIT strategy. Even though many fundamentals are strong, we continue to have an inverted yield curve with a widening spread, which has historically been a predictor of an impending market correction, and the current length of this recovery is longer than historical recoveries. We want to be prepared and we want to be in a position to hold onto real estate assets through the cycle. We believe La Privada to be one of these assets, and we will seek to acquire similar, market resilient assets going forward.

Thank you for your continued support of MogulREIT I and we look forward to continuing to meet your expectations and being a long-term investment partner.
