The preparation of these financial statements requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On a regular basis, we evaluate these estimates. These estimates are based on management’s historical industry experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

Factors which could have a material adverse effect on our operations and future prospects include, but are not limited to:

 

  our ability to effectively deploy the proceeds raised in the offering;

PART II 

BridgeWell Preferred Income LP

 

Item 1. Business

 

The Company

 

BridgeWell Preferred Income LP is a Limited Partnership organized on January 25, 2016 in the state of Florida for the purpose of investing in (1) mortgages secured by real estate and (2) directly in real estate. It is managed by Preferred Income Manager LLC (“PIM” or “Manager”).

 

The Company was formed to raise up to $50 million under Regulation A Plus from a wide range of individuals, focused equally on individual accredited and non-accredited investors, to acquire loans on non-owner occupied single-family residential properties, as well as real estate to hold for appreciation and/or income production. The fund-raising activity is done through the General Partner, Preferred Income Manager LLC, and is focused primarily on raising funds through investment seminars held in Central Florida.

 

We operate under the direction of John Parrett, who is the Manager of the General Partner, Preferred Income Manager LLC (“PIM”, “Manager”, or “General Partner”). Mr. Parrett is also the President and CEO of an affiliated company, BridgeWell Capital LLC, which is the originator and servicer of a large percentage of the loans that are purchased by the Company.

 

We are offering up to $50 million in Class A Interests (the “Interests”) in this offering for $1,000 per unit (the “Offering”). The minimum initial permitted purchase is $10,000. See Item 2 – “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations - Overview” for more information concerning the current status of the Offering.

 

Investment Strategy

 

The Company invests primarily in mortgage loans secured by mortgages issued to companies whose purpose is to buy, fix and sell, or hold and rent, non-owner occupied single-family residential homes. Depending on favorable market conditions, the Company may invest in small-balance commercial loans as well as new construction loans. The Company also invests directly in real estate development projects with the goal of selling them for retail market value or holding them for appreciation and/or income production. The Company focuses on purchasing loans and real estate primarily in the states of Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Indiana, although it purchases loans throughout the United States.

 

The loans that the Company purchases are held by companies (typically LLC’s or Land Trusts) and personally guaranteed by the borrower(s). The Company has the use of a $5 million warehouse line of credit which facilitates the purchase of loans and maximizes fund returns.

 

Competition

 

We face a high degree of competition in all areas of our business. These areas include attracting and retaining investor funds, purchasing loans, and purchasing real estate at a competitive price. Competition for investor funds comes from other uninsured products such as mutual funds provided by insurance companies and brokerage firms. Our competition for mortgage loans comes from commercial banks and other private lenders, including some rather large well-organized companies. Our competition for real estate purchases is varied, but includes professional investors, large real estate investment companies, financial institutions, REIT’s, life insurance companies and the like. Our ability to grow and manage our portfolio of loans and real estate depends on the ability of our Manager to navigate the competitive landscape of these industries. We believe our Manager has the extensive experience, knowledge and relationships to effectively compete in our areas of investment.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations

 

Overview

 

BridgeWell Preferred Income LP (the “Company”) was formed on January 25, 2016 for the purposes of investing in a diversified portfolio of first and second mortgage loans that are secured by a deed of trust or mortgage. We focus on purchasing loans in the following states: Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, South Carolina, North Carolina, Indiana, however the Company holds loans throughout the United States. The Company invests in real estate and real estate trusts in select locations with the goal of selling them for retail market value or holding them for appreciation and/or income generation.

 

As of December 31, 2020, the Company had sold 19,797 Limited Partnership Interests (Units) to Investors ($19.797 million). During 2020, 8.113 Limited Partnership units ($8.1 million) were contributed, while 3.096 ($3.1 million) units were redeemed.

 

As of December 31, 2020, the Company was invested in $14.6 million in secured mortgage loan notes, $1.96 million in real estate investments, $1.67 million on Real Estate Owned (“REO”) and $1.2 million was being held in cash at a depository insured bank. Of the cash held at December 31, 2020, $841 was “restricted”. Restricted cash comprises a deposit with the warehouse line that is not available to the Company for immediate or general business use.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company generated $1,195,070 in investment income from mortgage loans receivable of $14.6 MM at year end. The Company generated interest income of $3,096 on bank balances held. The Company generated a $9,302 gain from REO retention, and a loss on sale of real estate investments of $35,277. The Company did not pay any servicing fees in 2020, as the loan servicer, BWC, permanently waived their fees in 2020 to order to assist the Company during COVID-19. The Company paid no management fees in 2020, as the General Partner and Manager, PIM, elected to waive permanently the management fees to manage the Company assets in 2020. The waiving of servicing and management fees had a positive impact on earnings for the year 2020. For the year ended December 31, 2020, warehouse credit line fees from the warehouse line were paid by the servicer, while warehouse interest expense amounted to $53,630. General and administrative expenses were $51,679 for the year ended December 31, 2020. These were primarily comprised of advertising costs ($12,435), investor seminars ($4,019) and audit, tax & legal fees ($32,614). Overhead costs in 2020 were approximately half of what they were in 2019, primarily because COVID-19 made it impossible to hold in-person capital-raising seminars. Net income was $1,225,053 for the year ended December 31, 2020.

 

In addition, as of December 31, 2020, 26 loans amounting to $2,366,966 were in default. As of December 31, 2019, 17 loans amounting to $1,546,607 were in default. Subsequent to year end of 2020, five were paid off ($523,010), three were foreclosed ($178,587) and the remainder is in process of workout or foreclosure. It is presently anticipated that these loans will be resolved between one and three years from the year end of 2020, however, due to COVID restrictions and delay in the court system, Management is uncertain when recovery will occur. Loans in default will reduce the cashflow and income generated to the Company, however, Management does not anticipate that these loans in default will incur loss of principal upon disposition or resolution. Please see Note 3 of the financial statement below.

  

During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company generated $1,168,903 in investment income from mortgage loans receivable of $14.53 MM at year end. The Company generated interest income of $10,393 on bank balances held. The Company generated a $5,653 gain on the sale of $155,472 in real estate assets and $34,327 gain on REO retention. The Company had servicing fees of $27,348 to provide monthly servicing to the existing portfolio of mortgage loans receivable, as well as $123,409 in management fees to manage the Company assets throughout the year. For the year ended December 31, 2019, warehouse credit line fees and interest expense from the related party warehouse line of credit amounted to $27,360, and warehouse credit line fees and interest expense from the warehouse line of credit amounted to $80,965. General and administrative expenses were $105,045 for the year ended December 31, 2019. These were primarily comprised of advertising costs ($51,009), Investor Seminars ($16,913) and Audit, Tax & Legal Fees ($33,575). Net income was $830,221 for the year ended December 31, 2019.

 

Operating Risk

 

The extent of the impact of the coronavirus (“COVID-19”) outbreak on the financial performance of the Company’s investments will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of the outbreak, related advisories and restrictions, the impact of COVID-19 on the financial markets, and the overall economy, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. If the financial markets and/or overall economy are impacted for an extended period, the Company’s investment results may be materially adversely affected.

 

5 

 

Operating functions that have changed due to COVID-19 conditions include site visits, borrower draws, and new loan applications and funding. Foreclosure actions on non-performing loans have been delayed. Permitting, zoning and other issues related to real estate held for development or rehabilitation has been delayed. All of these trends are predicted to continue through the first half of 2021 and in some regions until early 2022. Changes to the operating environment may increase operating costs. Depending on the severity and length of the outbreak, COVID-19 could present uncertainty and risk with respect to the Company, its performance, and its financial results.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The Company is seeking to raise up to $50 million by selling Limited Partnership Interests (Units) to Investors. Most of the capital we raise is invested in secured mortgage notes and income-producing and/or appreciating real estate. In addition, the Company purchases and/or holds real estate that is retained from foreclosures on mortgage loans receivable (“REO” properties)

 

During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company raised an additional net $5.0 million in Limited Partnership contributions to end the year at $19.8 million in Limited Partnership capital. The Company’s $5 million warehouse line of credit was utilized from January to April of 2020 with balances ranging from $513 K to $4.1 million. No loans were placed on the credit line during the remainder of 2020 due to COVID-19-related market conditions. At December 31, 2020, the Company was committed to providing an additional $1.16 million in credit line draws on existing rehabilitation loans. Commitments are funded by a combination of collections of mortgage loans receivable and credit line advances.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company raised an additional net $5.92 million in investor contributions to end the year at $14.78 million. The Company also had access to a $2MM related party line of credit for investment purposes, the balance of which ranged from $253,008 to $597,181, and ended the year at $0. The Company’s $5,000,000 line of credit was utilized from May to December of 2019 with balances ranging from $798,647 to $3.70 million, ending the year at $3.70 million. The related party line of credit was subsequently closed due to non-use. At December 31, 2019, the Company was committed to providing an additional $1.97 million in credit line draws on existing rehabilitation loans. Commitments are funded by a combination of contributions, collections of mortgage loans receivable, and warehouse credit line advances.

 

The Company does not currently have any capital commitments. Should we need more liquid capital, we have established institutional buyers for the type of secured mortgage loans that we hold.

 

Trend Information

 

We are closely monitoring the impact of rising interest rates and rates of return on the type of secured mortgage loan notes that the Company purchases. During the reporting period ending December 31, 2020, we have not noticed a material change substantial enough to prevent the Company from acquiring investment inventory at sufficient rates to provide Limited Partner preferred returns.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

We have identified the policies outlined in the Offering Circular and attachments as critical to our business operations and an understanding of our results of operations. Those policies outlined are not intended to be a comprehensive list of all of our accounting policies. In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, with no need for management’s judgment in their application. The impact and any associated risks related to these policies on our business operations is discussed throughout Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation where such policies affect our reported and expected financial results. Note that our preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. There can be no assurance that actual results will not differ from those estimates.

Additional Company Matters

 

The Company has not filed for bankruptcy protection nor has it ever been involved in receivership or similar proceedings. The Company is not presently involved in any legal proceedings material to the business or financial condition of the Company. The Company does not anticipate any material reclassification, merger, consolidation, or purchase or sale of a significant proportion of assets (not in the ordinary course of business) during the next 12 months.

 

PIM is pursuing the opportunity to diversify into real estate related income, from 100% dependency on secured mortgage notes, to a percentage of the income being derived from income-producing and/or appreciating properties owned by the Company. Therefore, in 2020 the Company purchased $946,155 in REO properties which are in the process of being rehabilitated for the purpose of selling for a profit or holding as long-term rentals.

 

Investment in the property at 501 Franklin (see below for description and history of the property) increased by $19,350 during fiscal year 2020. This covered maintenance, engineering, and property taxes for the year. These costs were capitalized and are included on the 2020 balance sheet presented below.

 

Investment in the property at 501 Franklin increased by $646,700 during fiscal year 2019. Of this, $500,000 was used to pay off an existing first mortgage. This allowed for institutional financing of initial development costs. An additional $27,049 was used for interest, $16,268 for insurance and property tax, and the remaining $103,383 for development of the property (i.e., design, engineering, permitting, site work and surveying). These costs were capitalized and are included on the 2019 balance sheet presented below.

 

In early September 2018, when an undeveloped parcel of land known as 501 Franklin became available, the Company purchased 100% ownership in this property. Preliminary analysis determined that completion of development of this property would likely result in an ongoing 10%+ annual cash-on-cash return. The property has been in engineering and entitlement since late 2015. It is located in an extremely fast-growing area on the western edge of Ocoee, at the intersection of Highway 429 and 436. This particular property is in an exceptionally prime location and is considered a ‘Gateway’ property to the City of Ocoee. It has been approved by the City of Ocoee for an 88,000 square foot mixed-use retail and office center comprising four 2-story buildings on a total of 5.77 acres. The value of the property is increasing substantially due to large new development in the immediate area, the completion of Highway 417 (the western Orlando beltway) and from other rapid development in the surrounding cities of Winter Garden and Ocoee. Property value has also increased significantly subsequent to acquisition by the Company, as full entitlement for the development of 88,000 square feet was finalized post-acquisition. Entitlement is the legal process of obtaining approvals for a specific development plan. The property was acquired by the purchase of 100% of the beneficial interest in the titled owner of the property, 501 Franklin Land Trust LLC, in an affiliated party transaction.

 

According to the Fund Offering Circular section titled, Policies with Respect to Certain Transactions, affiliated party transactions are authorized. Therefore, it is noted that an affiliated party transaction was conducted in compliance with the Fund Offering Circular section titled, Policies with Respect to Certain Transactions, whereby a mortgage note was executed between the Fund, as the mortgagee, and an affiliated party, Cherry Gap, LLC, the mortgagor.

Report on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of BridgeWell Preferred Income LP, which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the related statements of investments, income, changes in partners’ capital, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.

 

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

 

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

 

Auditors’ Responsibility

 

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

 

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors’ judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditors consider internal control relevant to BridgeWell Preferred Income LP’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of BridgeWell Preferred Income LP’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall pres entation of the financial statements.

 

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Organization

 

BridgeWell Preferred Income LP (“Company”) is a Florida limited partnership formed on January 25, 2016. The general partner is Preferred Income Manager LLC (“PIM”, “General Partner” or “Manager”). The Company invests primarily in mortgage loans secured by the first and/or second mortgages issued to home remodelers, landlords, builders, developers, and private and commercial real estate investors who purchase or refinance residential real estate properties that they intend to hold as rental property or for resale. Operations are conducted throughout the United States, but primarily in the Southeast. Mortgage loans acquired by the Company are primarily originated by BridgeWell Capital LLC (“BWC”), an affiliated company to the Manager, pursuant to a set of underwriting guidelines approved by management. BWC also services the loans pursuant to a Master Note Servicing Agreement. The Company focuses on purchasing loans in the following states: Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, South Carolina, North Carolina, and Indiana. However, the Company holds loans throughout the United States.

 

The Company also invests in commercial real estate or land that management intends to renovate and sell or hold for appreciation and/or income production.

 

The Company’s commercial investment operations commenced upon receiving authority to issue Limited Partnership Units as discussed below.

 

General Company Provisions

 

The Company is managed by PIM. The rights, duties and powers of the Manager are governed by the Company’s limited partnership agreement.

 

PIM acting alone has the power and authority to act for and bind the Company.

 

Terms and Offering of the Company

NOTE 1- SUMMARY OF ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

Limited Partnership Units (continued)

 

Exchange Commission to issue Limited Partnership Units under Regulation A, the Conditional Small Issues Exemption, for a period of 12 months. Under the terms of the Company’s offering, it can issue up to 50,000 Limited Partnership Units at a price of $1,000 per unit. The Limited Partnership Units bear a preferred return of 7.00%. Limited Partners collectively holding more than 75% of the Limited Partnership Units may vote to dissolve the Company. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the number of outstanding Limited Partnership Units were 19,797 and 14,780, respectively.

 

On January 7, 2020, the Company filed a Post-Qualification Amendment to continue to offer Limited Partnership Units beyond the initial 12 months. Rule 251(D)(3)(I)(F)(4) permits Regulation A Offerings to conduct ongoing, continuous offerings of securities for more than thirty (30) days after the qualification date, but only if not more than three (3) years have elapsed since the initial qualification date of the offering, unless a new offering circular is submitted. The Company is permitted to continue to offer and sell the securities until the earlier of the qualification date of the new offering circular or the one hundred eighty (180) calendar days after the third anniversary of the initial qualification date of the prior offering circular, i.e. July 30, 2021. The Company intends to offer the Limited Partnership Units on a continuous and ongoing basis pursuant to Rule 251(D)(3)(I)(F).

 

General Partnership Units

 

The Company issued General Partnership Units to PIM, the General Partner. General Partnership Units are voting units and give the General Partner the sole discretion to operate the Company. General Partnership Units are entitled to 100% of profits after the payment of Company expenses and the 7.00% preferred return to the limited partners. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the number of General Partnership Units were 74,827 and 70,185, respectively.

 

Liquidity and Withdrawals

 

There is no public market for units of the Company, and none is expected to develop in the foreseeable future. The Company does have a redemption program; however, no Limited Partnership Unit holder may request a redemption until 90 days after the units were purchased. Any redemption is not subject to penalty. Each calendar quarter, the Company will only redeem Limited Partnership Units up to 10% of the value of the total outstanding capital of the partnership as of December 31 of the prior year.

NOTE 1 -SUMMARY OF ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

Profits and Losses

 

Subject to performance of the Company and after paying Company expenses, management fees and interest on the line of credit, profits and losses are allocated in the following order:

 

Losses are allocated pro-rata to Limited Partners.
   
Profits are allocated pro-rata to Limited Partners to the extent of prior losses; then to pay for cumulative preferred returns; thereafter 100% to the General Partner.

 

Distributions

 

The Company distributes or reinvests amounts equal to the Limited Partners’ 7.00% non-compounded preferred return on their proportionate units based on the Company’s excess distributable cash each month. PIM will distribute funds only to the extent that funds are available.

 

Management and Related Party Fees

 

The Manager and/or its affiliates are entitled to receive certain fees, compensation, and expense reimbursements from the Company, such as, but not limited to, the amounts specified below.

 

BridgeWell Capital LLC services loans and collects a servicing fee of up to 3.00% of the principal balance. This is outlined in the Note Servicing Agreement.

 

PIM is entitled to receive an asset management fee of 1.00% per annum on assets under management. This is outlined in the Regulation A filing.

 

The Company receives certain operating and administrative services from PIM, some of which may not be reimbursed to PIM. The Company’s financial position and results of operations would likely be different without this relationship with the Manager.

 

Basis of Accounting and Use of Estimates

 

The Company’s financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2020 and 2019

 

NOTE 1 -SUMMARY OF ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

Basis of Accounting and Use of Estimates (continued)

 

accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The Company is an investment company that follows the specialized accounting and reporting guidance of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services - Investment Companies. The accrual basis of accounting requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses reported in the financial statements, as well as amounts included in the notes thereto, including discussion and disclosure of contingent liabilities. Although the Company uses its best estimates and judgements, actual results could differ from these estimates as future confirming events occur.

 

Mortgage Loans Receivable

 

Mortgage loans receivable are recorded at their outstanding principal balance with interest thereon being accrued as earned. Company loans will have varying terms at the discretion of the Manager. Most Company loans will generally have a term of 12 months and provide for monthly payments of interest with a “balloon payment” at the end of the term. As of December 31, 2020, there are certain loans that have terms of two to 30 years. The Company will not recognize interest income on loans once they are determined to be impaired until the interest is collected in cash. A loan is impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price or the fair value of the underlying collateral.

 

The Company will from time to time purchase non-performing loans from other individual or institutional investors. At its sole discretion, the Manager may accrue interest on these loans after assessing the likelihood of collection of such interest. This is reassessed at regular intervals by the Manager during the time of non-performance and pending foreclosure. If it is determined at reassessment that some or all of the accrued interest is likely uncollectable, these amounts will be recorded as a loss on the statement of income.

 

Allowance for Loan Losses

 

The allowance for loans losses will be established for future potential loan losses. Loan

NOTE 1 -SUMMARY OF ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

Allowance for Loan Losses (continued)

 

losses will be charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectability of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, will be credited to income. The allowance for loan loss is evaluated on a regular basis by management and is based upon management’s periodic review of the collectability of the loans considering historical experience, the types and dollar amount of loans in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, there were no allowances for loan losses recorded.

 

Real Estate Investments

 

Real Estate Purchases

 

The Company invests in real estate and real estate trusts in select locations, and then redevelops them with the goal of selling them for retail market value or holding them for appreciation and/or income generation, providing attractive returns. Investments in real estate are carried at fair value. Real estate investments are comprised of commercial properties or raw land that is initially recorded at the purchase price plus closing costs when acquired. Real estate investments also include purchases of real estate owned (“REO”) properties from individual or institutional investors. Improvements and development costs are capitalized as a component of the cost. Real estate investments are accounted for in accordance with FASB Topic 946, which requires investments to be initially measured at their transaction price and subsequently measured at fair value when the real estate rehabilitation or development is close to completion or completed and management can make an assessment of fair value. The fair value of each real estate investment is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset in an orderly transaction between marketplace participants at the measurement date. Unrealized gains or losses are recorded in operating income or expense.

 

Foreclosed Assets (Real Estate Owned)

 

Real estate owned includes real estate acquired in full or partial settlement of loan obligations plus capitalized construction and other development costs incurred while preparing the real estate for sale. At the time of foreclosure, the property is recorded at fair value, and the gain or loss on foreclosure is recorded in operating income or expense

NOTE 1 -SUMMARY OF ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

Real Estate Investments (continued)

 

Foreclosed Assets (Real Estate Owned) (continued)

 

Improvements are capitalized as incurred. Following foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed with any subsequent write-downs recorded as a separate valuation allowance against real estate owned and charged to other operating expenses.

 

Subsequent increases to real estate owned are recorded as unrealized gains when any rehabilitation improvements to the property are close to completion and management can make an assessment of fair value.

 

The maintenance of the real estate owned for which rent is collected, is expensed as incurred. The maintenance of real estate owned that does not have rent collected is capitalized. The Company actively works to sell, or prepare for sale, the acquired real estate, and gain and loss on these dispositions are recorded in operating income or expense. Recognition of gains on the sale of real estate is dependent upon the transaction meeting certain criteria related to the nature of the property, terms of sale and potential financing.

 

While the Company holds real estate properties, it may rent them on a month-to-month basis. Rental income is considered incidental. Therefore, rental income is recorded as received and no depreciation expense is recorded during the current year.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Mortgage interest income on performing loans is recognized as revenue when earned according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Payoff fees and rebates are recognized when earned according to the contractual terms of the loan or other agreement.

 

Gain or loss on sale of real estate investment is recognized when a mortgage loan is converted to an REO, during periodic re-valuations, and at the time of sale of the asset.

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an assert or paid to

Fair Value Measurements (continued)

 

transfer liability in the principal of most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Company determines the fair values of its assets and liabilities based on a fair value hierarchy established under applicable accounting guidance which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. There are 3 levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value. The 3 levels are defined as follows:

 

Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.

 

Level 2 inputs are based on either observable prices for identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets; observable prices for similar assets or liabilities; or other inputs that are derived directly from, or through correlation to, observable market data at the measurement date.

 

Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s own financial model using assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability (including assumptions about risk). Unobservable inputs are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances and may include the Company’s own data. See Valuation and Process Techniques below.

 

Valuation Process and Techniques

 

The Company has various processes and controls in place to ensure that fair value is reasonably estimated. A model validation policy governs the use and control of valuation models used to estimate fair value. Periodic reassessments of the models are performed to ensure that they are continuing to perform as designed.

 

While the Company believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date.

NOTE 1 -SUMMARY OF ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

Fair Value Measurements (continued)

 

Valuation Process and Techniques (continued)

 

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of assets and liabilities:

 

Performing mortgage loans that management intends to hold to maturity are valued at historical cost, which is considered fair value. Non-performing and impaired mortgage loans are reported at the net realizable value of the underlying collateral based on an observable market price or a current appraised value. Mortgage loans are classified as Level 3.

 

Real estate investments are fair valued on a quarterly basis when the rehabilitation or development of the asset is close to completion and fair value is determinable. Management determines fair value using valuations or market estimates from third parties. Investments are classified as Level 3. Foreclosed real estate, or real estate owned, is reported at the property’s estimated fair value less estimated costs to sell based on its appraised value at the time of foreclosure. Subsequent changes in value are recorded based on the current appraised value as further discussed in the Real Estate Investments section.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company has elected to be a partnership under the Internal Revenue Code and a similar section of the state code. The members of a partnership are taxed on their proportionate share of the Company’s taxable income. Therefore, no provision or liability for income taxes has been included in these financial statements.

 

The Company has evaluated its current tax positions and has concluded that as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, no significant uncertain tax positions exist for which a reserve would be necessary.

 

The Company’s income tax returns are subject to review and examination by federal, state and local governmental authorities. As of December 31, 2020, there are 3 years open to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and various for state and local governmental authorities. To the extent penalties and interest are incurred through the examinations, they would be included in the accompanying statements of income.

Advertising Costs

 

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expenses for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 were $12,436 and $51,010, respectively. These balances are included in General & Administrative Expenses on the accompanying statements of income.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

Accounting Standard Issued but Not Yet Effective

 

Credit Losses – In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), and was clarified by FASB ASU 2019-04, Codification Improvements, and FASB ASUs 2019-05 and 2019-11, Targeted Transition Relief and Clarification. Prior to this pronouncement, generally accepted accounting principles required use of the incurred loss method for recognizing credit losses in the reserve. The incurred loss method recognizes a credit loss when it is probable that a loss has been incurred. The new guidance replaces the incurred loss method with one that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. The pronouncement also allows for the irrevocable election of the fair value measurement for certain financial assets. Management is in the process of evaluating this guidance but does not believe it will have a significant impact on the financial statements of the Company. The effective date of FASB ASUs 2018-19 and 2019-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses have been deferred until interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022.

 

Accounting Standard Issued and Adopted

 

Fair Value Measurement – In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Disclosure Framework (Topic 820) – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. This guidance removes or modifies various disclosures relating to the activity or reconciliations of Level 1, 2 and 3 fair value measurements. It is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Management has adopted the guidance and it has not had a significant impact on the financial statements of the Company.
