Generally, no sale may be made to you in this offering if the aggregate purchase price you pay is more than 10% of the greater of your annual income or net worth. Different rules apply to Accredited Investors and non-natural persons.

For general information on investing, we encourage you to refer to www.investor.gov.

 

XIV-I Invest 1, LLC (the “Company,” or the “Fund”) is a newly-organized Delaware limited liability company formed to purchase and assemble a portfolio of affordable multi-family housing, single-family housing, and unimproved land properties. The Company aims to make a positive, measurable impact on society and the environment through the creation and servicing of its affordable property portfolio. The Company intends to focus its operations on the Atlanta, Georgia metropolitan area, but may invest in other metropolitan areas across the Southeastern United States. The Company is offering by means of this offering circular (the “Offering Circular”) equity in the form of 7,500,000 Class A membership interests (the “Membership Interests,” “Membership Units,” or, singularly, an “Interest” or “Unit”) at a price of $10.00 per Unit on a best-efforts basis.

 

The Company intends to raise Offering Proceeds to engage in the following activities: (i) acquiring, (ii) managing, (iii) developing, (iv) rehabilitating, (v) preserving, and (vi) liquidating affordable housing real property assets, including for-lease multi-family, for-sale single-family, and unimproved land properties (see “Use of Proceeds” below). If the Company raises substantially less than the Maximum Offering Amount, the Company may not be able to acquire a diverse portfolio of affordable real property assets.

 

Each Membership Unit is offered at a price of $10.00, and the Minimum Investment Amount per Investor is $100.00 for ten (10) Units. All Investor funds will be held in an escrow account administered by North Capital Private Securities Corporation (the “Escrow Agent”), until the Minimum Offering Amount has been met, at which time all Investor funds will be deposited into the Company’s main operating account in exchange for the Membership Interests.

 

Sales of the Membership Interests pursuant to this Regulation A Tier 2 Offering (the “Offering”) will commence on the date the Company is made aware of its qualification by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Sales of the Membership Interests will continue until the Maximum Offering Amount is met or until expiration of one year. The Membership Interests will be offered through the Company’s website, found at www.investinxiv.com (the “Platform”), on a continuous and ongoing basis. The acceptance of Investor subscriptions may be briefly paused at times to allow the Company to process and settle subscriptions that have been received effectively and accurately. There are no selling security holders in this Offering.

 

The Company is managed by XIV-I MANAGER LLC, a Georgia limited liability company (the “Manager”), which is responsible for day-to-day management, investment, and development decisions related to the Company. The Manager is wholly-owned by Monica Poole (the “Manager of the Company’s Manager,” or the “Manager of the Manager”).

 

The Manager will receive compensation from the Company and is subject to certain conflicts of interest (see the “Compensation of the Manager” and “Conflicts of Interest” sections below for more details). Investing in the Membership Interests is speculative and involves substantial risks, including risk of complete loss. Prospective Investors should purchase these securities only if they can afford a complete loss of their investment (see “Risk Factors” section below starting on Page 11). There are material income tax risks associated with investing in the Company that prospective Investors should consider. See “Federal Income Tax Considerations” below.

 

The Company will commence sales of the Membership Interests immediately upon qualification of the Offering by the SEC. The Company anticipates that sales will commence Q3-2023.

(1) The Offering price to Investors was arbitrarily determined by the Manager.

(2) There is no underwriter involved with this Offering. Andes Capital, an independent FINRA registered broker-dealer, is assisting the Company to sell the Membership Interests on a best-efforts basis, in exchange for a 1.0% commission on the aggregate amount raised by the Company. However, the Company will pay an additional 4.0% commission on Membership Interests directly sold by Andes Capital or other participating broker-dealers engaged by Andes Capital. If the gross Proceeds received by the Company were solely from the direct selling efforts of Andes Capital, or other participating broker-dealers, the maximum commissions due would be $3,750,000, or 5.0% of the Maximum Offering Amount. No commissions for selling Membership Interests will be paid to the Manager. Please see “Plan of Distribution” below.

(3) Net Deployable Proceeds to the Company only reflect an approximation of the Proceeds, less estimated commissions to the broker-dealer, less the deduction of organization and offering expenses reimbursement to the Manager. Any expenses associated with the Membership Interests and/or other investments of the Company shall be paid by the Company in accordance with the terms set forth herein and in the Operating Agreement.

(4) There are no selling security holders in this Offering. The initial expenses associated with this Offering, including legal and accounting expenses, have been or will be paid by Affiliates of the Company, which will be reimbursed from the Proceeds from the Offering. An Affiliate of the Company, XIV-I, INC. (the “Sponsor”), in exchange for payment of initial organizational and Offering expenses on behalf of the Company, has been issued 1,000 Class B Membership Interests, which represent 100% of the Company’s Class B Membership Interests. Additionally, the Company intends to reimburse Affiliate MCE POOLE, INC. for organizational and Offering expenses incurred on behalf of the Company in excess of $25,000.00, which are estimated to be approximately $100,000.00. The reimbursement amount to MCE POOLE, INC. is estimated to be $75,000.00 as of the Date of this Offering Circular.

RISK FACTORS

 

Any investment in the Membership Interests involves a significant degree of risk and is suitable only for Investors who have no need for liquidity in this investment. When analyzing this Offering, prospective Investors should carefully consider each of the following risks.

 

INVESTMENT RISKS

 

The Offering Price and Minimum Investment Amount have been arbitrarily determined by the Company and do not reflect the value of the assets that have been or will be acquired by the Company.

The Offering price per Unit and the Minimum Investment Amount have been arbitrarily determined by the Company and do not bear any relationship to the assets that have been or are to be acquired by the Company or any other established criteria or indicia for valuing a business. The Manager may (in its sole and absolute discretion) accept or require a lesser or greater Minimum Investment Amount pursuant to a submission and subsequent qualification of a Post qualification amendment. In addition, the assets that are to be acquired by the Company could have a higher or lower value than the Offering price, which may result in the valuation of the Company being lower or higher than the Offering price.

 

Investment in the Membership Interests is speculative, and each Investor assumes the risk of losing his, her, or its entire investment.

Investment in these Membership Interests is speculative, and by investing, each Investor assumes the risk of losing the entire investment. The Company has limited operations as of the date of this Offering Circular and will be solely dependent upon the efforts of the Manager to develop and manage the property asset portfolio that is developed, all of which are subject to the risks described herein. Accordingly, only Investors who are able to bear the loss of their entire investment and who otherwise meet the Investor Suitability Standards should consider purchasing these Membership Interests.

 

The Company’s ability to commence operations is dependent on its ability to raise funds.

In order to execute the Plan of Operations, the Company will require varying amounts of capital based on the properties the Company intends to acquire. The Company’s ability to commence operations is largely dependent upon its ability to raise funds through this Offering and thereby securing its real estate property investments. Investors should be aware that there is no assurance that the Company will obtain capital investments necessary to commence operations and become profitable. In addition, receipt of capital investments of less than the Maximum Offering Amount will reduce the ability of the Company to spread investment risks through diversification of its property asset portfolios.

 

There is no federal registration therefore there is limited governmental review.

This Offering has not been registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission or with any state regulators. Although certain states require notice filing pursuant to pertinent state securities laws, the Offering is largely subject to limited governmental review.

 

There is limited redemption and transferability of Membership Interests and no public market for the Membership Interests.

Membership Interests cannot redeemed until seven (7) years has elapsed after the issuance of the Membership Interests, except in the Manager’s sole and absolute discretion, and with the Manager’s prior written consent. There is no public market for the Membership Interests, and none is expected to develop in the future. Even if a potential buyer could be found, the transferability of these Membership Interests may be limited. Investors must be capable of bearing the economic risks of this investment with the understanding that these Membership Interests may not be liquidated by resale or redemption and should expect to hold their Membership Interests as a long-term investment (see “Securities Being Offered” below).

 

There is no guarantee of reaching Maximum Offering Amount.

There is no assurance that the Company will obtain capital investments equal to the amount required to close the Offering. In addition, receipt of capital investments of less than the Maximum Offering Amount may reduce the ability of the Company to spread investment risks through diversification of its real estate property asset portfolio or debt portfolio.

  

No assurance can be provided that the Maximum Offering Amount will be adequate working capital and/or will absolve the need for additional financing.

In the opinion of the Manager, if the maximum number of Membership Interests being offered is sold, the Company may have sufficient working capital to achieve its planned operations. However, there can be no assurance that even if the maximum number of Membership Interests is sold that the Company would not be required to seek alternative or additional sources of financing. The Company is not restricted in the application of the funds as provided within this Offering Circular under the caption “Use of Proceeds” below.

 

Terms of the Membership Interests may not be favorable to prospective Investors.

The Manager has set the terms of the Membership Interests in a manner which is favorable to the Company and has not tried to consider the favorability or suitability of such terms for any prospective Investors.

 

The Company may employ leverage, resulting in the Membership Interests being subordinate to any debt incurred by the Company.

Any indebtedness incurred by the Company (e.g., through a credit line, borrowing from the Manager, an Affiliate financer, etc.) may expose the Investors to substantially greater risk. Any debt incurred by the Company may be senior to the Investors and may have priority of payment. If there are no sufficient cash flows generated from the operations of the Company and the Company has to pay Investors, it may affect the Company’s ability to make distributions to Investors. In addition, leverage may involve restrictive covenants, interest obligations and other risks that are customary to organizations that employ leverage in financing their investments.

 

The Company will invest in assets that have not yet been identified, therefore, potential Investors will be unable to evaluate the Company’s property asset portfolio prior to making their investment.

None of the specific assets in which the Company will invest in are identified at this time. Therefore, any potential Investor is unable to evaluate the property assets portfolio to determine whether to invest in the Company. However, the general business goals of the Company are to invest in properties as further described herein. The Company may later have specific, identifiable portfolio data which Investors may review upon their prior written request to the Company.

 

The Company has the right to change its asset profile; there is no guarantee that the asset profile will not change substantially over time.

The Company reserves the right (in its sole and absolute discretion) to modify, change or revise its typical investment profile and the mix of properties that it invests in or otherwise participates in, and accordingly, Investors have no guarantee, and should not assume that the investment mix and profile of the Company will not change substantially over time.

 

The Offering is being undertaken during a period of fluctuating interest rates.

The Offering is being undertaken during a period of rising fluctuating rates, which may impact both the ability of the Company to acquire assets and the return on investments made.

BUSINESS RISKS

 

There is reliance on key personnel to make all decisions with respect to the management of the Company, therefore, Investors will have very limited choice in the management decisions.

The Manager of the Company will make virtually all decisions with respect to the management and day-to-day operations of the Company including, without limitation, the determination as to which properties to invest in and the terms of the investment. The Investors will have very limited voice in the management decisions of the Company and can exercise only a limited (if any) amount of control over the Company. The Company gives no assurance that the Company will operate at a profit or positive cash flow. The Company is dependent to a substantial degree on the continued services of the Manager of the Company’s Manager. In the event of the death, incapacity or other termination of the Manager of the Company’s Manager, the business and operations of the Company may be adversely affected. Furthermore, all investments related to specific property assets will be undertaken by the Company without the Investors having any ability to directly affect such transactions.

 

The Company’s key personnel are not required to devote full-time to the business of the Company.

The Manager of the Company’s Manager is not required to devote their individual capacity full-time to the Company's affairs, but only such time as the affairs of the Company may reasonably require.

 

The Company’s key personnel have limited prior experience in operating a blind-pool real estate investment fund.

The Manager and its key personnel have limited experience in conducting the business of a blind-pool real estate investment fund, such as that of the Company.

 

No restriction preventing the Manager or its Affiliates from competing with the Company by investing or sponsoring investments similar to those of the Company.

Though neither the Manager nor any Affiliates currently have the intention to do so, there is no restriction preventing the Manager, or any Affiliate, from competing with one another by investing in or sponsoring the formation of other investment groups similar to the Company. The Manager or Affiliates may make decisions that may at times favor persons other than the Company. Unless otherwise mandatorily required to the contrary by applicable law, the Manager and its Affiliates are exonerated from any liability for investment opportunities given to other persons, including (without limitation) Affiliates, as is described further in the Operating Agreement. A discussion of Conflicts of Interests can be found below.

 

Delays in the participation in the investment yield by Investors may occur.

There may be a delay between when subscription funds are accepted from Investors and when such Investors are accepted as Members of the Company. Such delays may result from the Manager having to verify an Investor’s suitability and admissibility as a Member and accept the Investor as a Member.

 

Management and investment practices of the Company are not regulated by federal or state authorities.

The management and investments of the Company are not regulated by the Securities and Exchange Commission or state regulatory authorities, except to the extent that the Offering will be qualified by the SEC, or except to the extent the properties themselves are subject to certain legal standards such as zoning or building codes. While the Company will use its best efforts to comply with all laws, including federal, state and local laws and regulations, there is a possibility of governmental action to enforce any alleged violations of laws which may result in legal fees and damage awards that would adversely affect the Company and its ability to distribute income to Investors.

 

Investment in the Company involves certain tax and ERISA risks of which Investors should be aware.

An investment in the Company involves certain tax risks of general application to all Investors and certain other risks specifically applicable to Keogh accounts, Individual Retirement Accounts and other tax-exempt Investors (see “Federal Income Tax Considerations” and “ERISA Considerations” below).

 

Fluctuations in the real estate market may affect the profitability of the Company and may not be able to liquidate their investment to take advantage of higher available returns.

Real estate markets are subject to abrupt and substantial fluctuations and the purchase of Membership Interests are a relatively illiquid investment. Investors may wish to liquidate their investment to take advantage of higher available returns but may be unable to do so due to restrictions on transfer, redemption, and withdrawal.

 

Risks of leveraging the Company’s asset portfolio include assigning a portion of or the entire Company’s asset portfolio as security for obtaining additional capital.

The Company may borrow funds from any third-party sources to fund investments in properties. These additional sources of capital may be secured by assets held by the Company. In order to obtain such additional capital, the Company may assign or encumber part or its entire asset portfolio to the lender or investor. Such money may bear interest at a variable rate. Therefore, if prevailing interest rates rise, the cost of money could reduce the Company’s profitability or cause losses.

 

Risks of real estate ownership that could affect the marketability and profitability of the properties.

There is no assurance that the Company’s owned properties will be profitable or that cash from operations will be available for distribution to the Investors. Because real estate, like many other types of long-term investments, historically has experienced significant fluctuations and cycles in value, specific market conditions may result in occasional or permanent reductions in the value of property interests. The marketability and value of the properties will depend upon many factors beyond the control of the Company, including (without limitation):

 

  1. Changes in general or local economic conditions;

 

  2. Changes in supply of or demand for competing properties in an area (e.g., as a result of over-building);

 

  3. Changes in interest rates;

 

  4. Promulgation and enforcement of governmental regulations relating to land use and zoning restrictions, environmental protection and occupational safety;

 

  5. Condemnation and other taking of property by the government;

 

  6. Unavailability of mortgage funds that may increase borrowing costs and/or render the sale of a property difficult;

 

  7. Unexpected environmental conditions;

 

  8. Financial conditions of tenants, ground lessees, ground lessors, buyers and sellers of properties;

 

  9. Changes in real estate taxes and any other operating expenses;

 

  10. Energy and supply shortages and resulting increases in operating costs or the costs of materials and construction;

 

  11. Various uninsured, underinsurance or uninsurable risks (such as losses from terrorist acts), including risks for which insurance is unavailable at reasonable rates or with reasonable deductibles;

 

  12. Imposition of rent control; and,

 

  13. Acts of nature, including, but not limited to, pandemics, weather events, and other natural disasters.

 

 

10

 

There are a number of risks involved in investing in development, redevelopment and undeveloped properties.

The Company anticipates that it will invest in existing properties that require varying degrees of development. In addition, some properties may be under construction or under contract to be developed or redeveloped. Properties that involve development or redevelopment will be subject to the general real estate risks described above and will also be subject to additional risks, such as unanticipated delays or excess costs due to factors beyond the control of the Company. These factors may include (without limitation):

 

  1. Strikes;

 

  2. Adverse weather;

 

  3. Governmental prohibition;

 

  4. Epidemics;

 

  5. Earthquakes, Hurricanes, and other "force majeure" events;

 

  6. Changes in building plans and specifications;

 

  7. Zoning, entitlement and regulatory concerns, including changes in laws, regulations, elected officials, and government staff;

 

  8. Material and labor shortages;

 

  9. Increases in the costs of labor and materials; changes in construction plans and specifications; rising energy costs; and

 

  10. Delays caused by the foregoing (which could result in unanticipated inflation, the expiration of permits, unforeseen changes in laws, regulations, elected officials and government staff, and losses due to market timing of any sale that is delayed).

 

Delays in completing any development or renovation project will cause corresponding delays in the receipt of operating income and, consequently, the distribution of any cash flow by the Company with respect to such property.

 

The Company is eligible for certain tax credits that may no longer be available in the future.

The Company may utilize certain tax credits to fund certain of its acquisition and construction expenses. In the future, the authorities providing these tax credits may eliminate the tax credits or change the eligibility criteria to use the tax credits, therefore negatively affecting the Company’s access to this type of funding. Should the Company lose access to tax credits or is eligible to less, its business, operating results, financial condition, and prospects could be materially and adversely affected, and the Company may be unable to continue operations.

 

There are risks associated if buying contaminated property assets.

The Company may acquire or invest in properties with known environmental conditions for the purpose of remediating the contamination. Following completion of the remediation, such properties would generally be rented. If the Company does not remediate the environmental condition of a property sufficiently, liability may arise from persons who rented the property. This may cause the Company to defend a lawsuit or regulatory action, in addition to remediating the property. This may cause the profits for the Company and any investment to be affected.

 

Properties invested in by the Company that may not comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act and other changes in governmental rules and regulations could have adverse consequences to the Company’s profitability.

Under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (the "ADA"), all public properties are required to meet certain federal requirements related to access and use by disabled persons. Properties acquired by the Company or in which it makes a property investment may not be in compliance with the ADA. If a property is not in compliance with the ADA, then the Company may be required to make modifications to such property to bring it into compliance, or face the possibility of imposition, or an award, of damages to private litigants. In addition, changes in governmental rules and regulations or enforcement policies affecting the use or operation of the properties, including changes to building, fire and life-safety codes, may occur which could have adverse consequences to the Company.

 

Unforeseen Changes

While the Company has enumerated certain material risk factors herein, it is impossible to know all risks which may arise in the future. In particular, Investors may be negatively affected by changes in any of the following: (i) laws, rules, and regulations; (ii) regional, national, global economic factors, and/or real estate trends; (iii) the capacity, circumstances, and relationships of partners of Affiliates, the Company, or the Manager; or (iv) the presence, availability, or discontinuation of real estate and/or housing incentives.

 

The Company continuously encounters changes in its operating environment, and the Company may have fewer resources than some of its competitors to continue to adjust to those changes. The operating environment of the Company is undergoing rapid changes, with frequent introductions of laws, regulations, competitors, market approaches, and economic impacts. Future success will depend, in part, upon the ability of the Company to address the needs of its Investors, sponsors, and clients by adapting to those changes and providing products and services that will satisfy the demands of their respective businesses and projects. Many of the competitors have substantially greater resources to adapt to those changes. The Company may not be able to effectively react to all of the changes in its operating environment or be successful in adapting its products, services, and approach.

Only Class A Membership Interests are being offered through this Offering to Investors. There have not been any transfers or sales of the Company’s Class A Membership Interests within the past year to affiliated persons of the Company.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

The Offering will be conducted through general solicitation, direct solicitation, and other marketing efforts, and Investors will be directed to the Portal to invest through this Offering. The Manager has engaged KoreConX, as its transfer agent, and Andes Capital Group LLC (“Andes Capital”), as an independent FINRA broker-dealer to assist the Company in selling the Membership Interests. The Manager is not engaging an underwriter for the sale of the Membership Interests. The Offering is being conducted on a best-efforts basis, which means the Manager and the broker-dealer will use commercially reasonable best efforts in an attempt to sell the Membership Interests. The Manager of the Company’s Manager will not receive any commission or any other remuneration for these sales, relying on the safe harbor from broker-dealer registration set forth in Rule 3a4-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Manager has engaged Andes Capital, a FINRA registered broker-dealer, to serve as broker of record for the Offering in exchange for a 1.0% commission on the Company’s passive sales of the Membership Interests.

 

This is the first offering of securities by the Company, the Company’s Manager, the Sponsor, any Member of the Company in its/their history. The Company, the Company’s Manager, the Sponsor, any Member of the Company have not raised capital through the sales of securities prior to this Offering. The Membership Interests offered through this Offering are not transferable by any Member until such Member has held the interests for 9 months. Furthermore, the Manager has discretion on whether the transferee is admitted as a new member. The Membership Interests are not currently listed or traded on any public or private market. The Company does not intend on listing the Membership Interests on any public or private market in the foreseeable future. Therefore the Membership Interests are not currently “marketable securities”, nor does the Company have any intention on taking actions that would make the Membership Interests “marketable securities”.

 

The Manager has engaged North Capital Private Securities Corporation (the “Escrow Agent”) to hold Investor funds in an escrow account until the Minimum Offering Amount is met. All forms of payment for the Units by Investors will be made payable to the Escrow Agent until the Minimum Offering Amount is reached. If the Proceeds received by the Company do not meet the minimum of $1,000,000.00 within twelve months, then the Manager will instruct the Escrow Agent to return Investor funds promptly. If, however, the Minimum Offering Amount is met, then there may be a delay between the time the Investor submits the funds, and the time the Company receives those Investor’s funds.

 

The Manager will not limit or restrict the sale of the Membership Interests during this 12-month Offering. No market exists for the Membership Interests and no market is anticipated or intended to exist, therefore there is no plan to stabilize the market for any of the securities to be offered.

 

The Manager of the Company’s Manager is engaged in the Company’s business of developing real estate investments, and is not, or has ever been, a broker nor dealer of securities. The Manager of the Company’s Manager will not be compensated in connection with the sale of securities through this Offering. The Manager believes that any and all associated persons of the Company are not deemed to be brokers under Exchange Act Rule 3a4-1 because: (1) no associated person of the Company is subject to a statutory disqualification, as that term is defined in section 3(a)(39) of the Exchange Act at the time of their participation; (2) no associated person of the Company will be compensated in connection with his participation by the payment of commissions or by other remuneration based either directly or indirectly on transactions in connection with the sale of securities through this Offering; (3) no associated person of the Company is an associated person of a broker or dealer; (4) associated person of the Company perform substantial duties for the Company other than the sale or promotion of securities; (5) no associated person of the Company has acted as a broker or dealer within the preceding twelve months of the date of this Offering Circular; (6) no associated person of the Company will participate in selling this Offering after more than twelve months from the Effective Date of the Offering.

 

Andes Capital has agreed to act as broker of record to assist in connection with this Offering. Andes Capital is not purchasing or selling any securities offered by this Offering Circular, nor is it required to arrange the purchase or sale of any specific number or dollar amount of securities. Andes Capital may engage other brokers to sell the securities on their behalf. Andes Capital will receive compensation for all passive sales (“Passive Commission”) of the Units offered and sold pursuant to this Offering Circular at a rate of 1.0% of the gross Proceeds for a maximum of $750,000. For Proceeds received by the Company through the direct introductions and introductory efforts made by Andes Capital, or those of other participating broker-dealers engaged by Andes Capital, the Company will pay to Andes Capital, or other participating broker-dealers, a “Selling Commission” equal to 4.0%. Thus, the maximum commissions the Company could pay Andes Capital is 5.0% of aggregate Proceeds, or $3,750,000.00, if all Proceeds were raised through Andes Capital’s direct selling efforts. As of the date of this Offering Circular, it is unknown how many of the Membership Interests will be sold through the direct selling efforts of Andes Capital.

 

The Manager intends to publicly market the Offering using general solicitation through methods including emails to potential Investors, the internet, social media, and any other means of widespread communication.

 

The Offering Circular will be furnished to prospective Investors via download 24 hours per day, 7 days per week on the Company’s website at www.investinxiv.com and via of the EDGAR filing system.

 

The following table shows the total discounts and commissions payable to Andes Capital in connection with this Offering by the Company:

Passive Commissions $0.10 $750,000.00*
Proceeds, Before Expenses $9.90 $74,250.000.00

USE OF PROCEEDS

While these anticipated uses will not change if the Maximum Offering Amount is not reached, the Company may not be able to acquire a diverse portfolio of affordable real property assets if substantially less than the Maximum Offering Amount is raised through the Offering. The Company will commence operations when the Minimum Offering Amount of $1,000,000.00 in Proceeds are raised. The Company may engage in joint ventures with third parties using the Proceeds of the Offering.

(1) Andes Capital, an independent FINRA registered broker-dealer, is assisting the Company to sell the Membership Interests on a best-efforts basis, in exchange for a 1.0% commission on the aggregate amount raised by the Company. However, the Company will pay an additional 4.0% commission on Membership Interests directly sold by Andes Capital or other participating broker-dealers engaged by Andes Capital. If the gross Proceeds received by the Company were solely from the direct selling efforts of Andes Capital, or other participating broker-dealers, the maximum commissions due would be $3,750,000, or 5.0% of the Maximum Offering Amount. No commissions for selling Membership Interests will be paid to the Manager.

(2) The initial expenses associated with this Offering, including legal and accounting expenses, have been or will be paid by Affiliates of the Company, which will be reimbursed from the Proceeds from the Offering. An Affiliate of the Company, XIV-I, INC. (the “Sponsor”), in exchange for payment of initial organizational and Offering expenses on behalf of the Company, has been issued 1,000 Class B Membership Interests, which represent 100% of the Company’s Class B Membership Interests. Additionally, the Company intends to reimburse Affiliate MCE POOLE, INC. for organizational and Offering expenses incurred on behalf of the Company in excess of $25,000.00, which are estimated to be approximately $100,000.00. The reimbursement amount to MCE POOLE, INC. is estimated to be $75,000.00 as of the Date of this Offering Circular.

(3) Net Deployable Proceeds to the Company only reflect an approximation of the Proceeds, less estimated commissions to the broker-dealer, less the deduction of organization and offering expenses reimbursement to the Manager. Any expenses associated with the Membership Interests and/or other investments of the Company shall be paid by the Company in accordance with the terms set forth herein and in the Operating Agreement.

 

The foregoing represents the Manager’s best estimate of the allocation of the Proceeds of this Offering based on the planned Use of Proceeds for the Company’s operations and current objectives. The Manager will not raise funds from other sources in order to fund the Company’s operations, except the possible use of leverage from third-party, trusted lenders for the acquisition or refinancing of properties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Manager may borrow money from financiers, other lenders, or banks to fund its investments, who are not yet identified as of the date of this Offering Circular, as the Manager does not have any agreements with any financers, lender, or banks to borrow funds on behalf of the Company.

 

None of the Net Proceeds of the Offering (allowing for reserves) are committed to specific properties or allocated to a specific property type. The Manager intends to use the Proceeds as stated above and expects the Use of Proceeds to remain substantially the same whether the Maximum Offering Amount is met or some lesser portion thereof. However, the Manager reserves the right to use the Proceeds of this Offering in any manner in its sole discretion.

 

In all instances, if and upon qualification of this Form 1-A by the SEC, the Company will need working capital to maintain its general existence and comply with its reporting obligations. In addition to changing allocations because of the amount of Proceeds received, the Manager may change the Use of Proceeds because of required changes in the business plan and operating expenses. The Manager reserves the right to use the Proceeds of this Offering in any lawful business activity in which a Delaware limited liability company may engage.

 

Use of Proceeds to Discharge Debt

 

Currently, there is no debt associated with the Company. No amounts of the Proceeds are anticipated to discharge existing Company debt.

 

Method of Depreciation

 

The Manager will use basic GAAP Principles, and the depreciation method will be implemented per project at the maximum allowable deprecation schedule that will best benefit all Investors. The method of appraisal will be conducted by a certified third-party appraisal, and/or a combination of market data and income potential.

 

Maximum Leverage Expected to be Used

 

The Manager intends to use a stabilized leverage ratio is 60% at the fund level and as much as 75% on an individual asset. These ratios will be derived from the greater of asset cost basis or fair market value of asset.

DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS

 

XIV-I Invest 1, LLC was formed on February 7, 2022 as a Delaware limited liability company. The Company primarily seeks to preserve and create financially-inclusive multi-family and single-family residential housing opportunities in the Atlanta, Georgia metropolitan statistical area, as well as other major metropolitan areas in the Southeastern United States, such as Charlotte, North Carolina and Jacksonville, Florida. The Company may also invest in other major metropolitan areas within the United States having populations above 580,000.

 

The Company intends to acquire and manage a portfolio of real estate assets as investments positioned in corridors of expected growth. The Company will target mixed-use and single-use projects, multi-family assets, single-family assets, and unimproved land for investment. The Company believes these asset classes are positioned for consistent growth and will address the need for more affordable and financially-inclusive housing in the United States.

 

The Company’s Mission of Inclusivity

 

The Company intends to engage in “impact investing,” which means the Company seeks to affect positive, measurable change in society and the environment through the creation and preservation of affordable housing, while generating a return for Investors. The Company emphasizes acquiring and developing “financially-inclusive” assets, which it defines as affordable and workforce housing, as well as housing for individuals earning median or near-median income of their geographic locale.

 

The Company also intends to create a diverse and inclusive equity ownership group that reflects the communities where the Company’s investment properties are located. This includes building an ownership group comprised of diverse economic classes, ethnicities, genders, and racial groups; however, nothing in this statement is intended to preclude any potential Investor in this Offering. The Company seeks to achieve this diverse ownership group by encouraging tenants, owners, and other community stakeholders where the Company operates to become Investors; the Company will market this Offering to persons in the communities where the property assets are located, including marketing to tenants of the Company’s properties. There will be no special treatment given nor additional conditions applied to such Investors.

 

The Company will seek to collaborate with public and private partnerships through the integration of local incentives, including federal tax credits, subsidized acquisition, permanent financing, and green retrofitting, to drive housing affordability and sustainability. The Company will identify such partnerships as appropriate and applicable, and has not arranged any specific partnerships as of the date of this Offering Circular.

 

The Manager must raise a minimum of $1,000,000.00 on behalf of the Company prior to the Proceeds from this Offering being released from the escrow account into the Company’s operating account. The Manager expects to use the Net Proceeds from this Offering to purchase and manage assets, pay for operating costs of the Company, and pay fees and costs associated with this Offering, including marketing costs, legal and accounting fees.

*These figures are from the United States Census Bureau’s Metropolitan and Micropolitan Statistical Areas Population Totals and Components of Change: 2020-2021. The Manager may invest in real estate assets in other metropolitan areas in the United States at its discretion.

 

The Company intends to primarily invest in real estate assets in metropolitan Atlanta, Georgia. According to the United States Census Bureau, the Atlanta area is among the fastest growing metropolitan areas in the United States, with its overall area population growing approximately 15% between 2010 and 2020.

 

The Company may invest in real estate assets in the Charlotte, North Carolina and Jacksonville, Florida metropolitan areas as well. While having a smaller population than the Atlanta, Georgia area, United States Census Bureau data indicates metropolitan Charlotte and metropolitan Jacksonville have grown approximately 50% and 19% from 2010 to 2020, respectively.

 

While the Company intends to invest in the markets listed above, the Manager may cause the Company to invest in other locations, depending upon the availability of suitable investment opportunities.

Investment Objectives

 

The Manager intends to selectively invest in financially-inclusive, housing-related assets that will allow the Company to:

 

  Realize competitive, risk-adjusted returns through distributable cash, comprehensive net operating income growth, and asset appreciation

 

  Collaborate with public and private entities to integrate local housing incentives to preserve, protect, and create affordable housing options within the communities where the Manager causes the Company to acquire property

 

  Preserve, protect and return invested capital

 

  Provide an investment vehicle for Investors desiring an integrated and novel approach to addressing diversity, environment, inclusive economics, and parity of access

 

  Create value for community members, Investors, and the environment through inclusionary fundraising and coherent management practices

 

 

Investment Strategy

 

The Company primarily seeks to acquire, develop, rehabilitate, and lease affordable multi-family housing The Company may acquire for-sale, single-family homes up to 3,000 square feet, suitable for redevelopment as affordable housing. The Company may also acquire and develop unimproved property as affordable single-family and multi-family housing.

 

The Company anticipates acquiring target properties with a gross purchase price up to $45,000,000, but the Manager may acquire more or less expensive properties depending on market opportunities and the financial condition of the Company.

 

The Company intends to acquire property assets that are existing, income producing, under development, under construction, or unimproved with development potential. The Manager aims direct the Company to acquire properties expected to provide distributable cash at stabilization and appreciation over a seven-year investment horizon. These investments may include redevelopment, repositioning, such as rehabilitation or rezoning, or ground up development.

 

The Company may enter into joint ventures with third parties for the acquisition, development, repositioning of properties.

 

Use of Incentives

 

The Company plans to take advantage of incentives offered by local and state governments, as well as available federal credits, to lower risk and boost the Company’s returns. The Company has identified the following local and state government incentives, offered through local authorities or housing: (i) Invest Atlanta; (ii) Atlanta Housing (Affordable Housing Programs & Resources); (iii) Housing Authority of DeKalb County; and, (iv) Georgia Department of Community Affairs.

 

Incentives provided by these authorities include, but are not limited to, the following:

 

  · Below-Market Rate Loans – These include acquisition and construction loans which carry flexible financing terms, including the ability to subordinate to private capital, below-market equity requirements, and below-market interest rates

 

  · Subsidized Mortgages – Subsidized mortgages for eligible purchases either through the issuance of single family mortgage revenue bonds or through the provision of capital to buy down of rates on conventional mortgages

 

  · Down Payment Assistance – Down payment assistance for eligible purchasers to help with down payment requirements from conventional lenders

 

  · Expedited Permits – Expedited permitting for the production of affordable units

 

With respect to federal tax credits, the Company plans to deploy both Low-Income Housing Tax Credits (“LIHTC”) and New Markets Tax Credits (“NMTC”) where applicable. Both programs provide project equity that does not require a market return. Additionally, if the project is delivered on time and on budget, the principal amount of the investment does not have to be repaid. The Manager believes the below-market rate return requirements will reduce the Company’s risk and allow the Company to capture more yield.

 

The Manager believes that partnering directly with local and state authorities may provide additional benefits to the Company, including significantly reducing the cost of acquiring land.

Borrowing Policy

 

The Company may strategically use leverage to purchase assets and to maximize returns for both its Members and community stakeholders, including tenants. Leverage may be used in the form of senior debt, subordinate debt, tax credit equity, mezzanine financing or other suitable financial structures. The Company intends to use a stabilized leverage ratio is 60% at the Company level and as much as 75% on an individual asset. These ratios will be derived from the greater of asset cost basis or fair market value of asset. The Company intends to utilize competitively priced non-recourse, long-term financing when available. While the Company’s Board of Advisors may advise the Manager on setting the Company’s leverage policies, the Manager may modify the Company’s leverage policy from time to time at its sole discretion.

 

The Manager intends to direct the Company to, but is under no obligation to, take advantage of the following subsidy and loan programs from housing authorities such as Invest Atlanta:

The Manager plans to finance the Company’s acquisitions through equity financing, including equity capital raised through the Offering. In addition, the Manager has been engaged in developing the financial, offering, and other materials to begin offering the Membership Interests.

The Company is recently formed and has not yet generated revenue. The Manager is devoting its efforts to establishing the Company’s business and planned principal operations will commence at once the Minimum Offering Amount of $1,000,000.00 is raised. Due to start-up nature of the Company’s business, the reported financial information once the Company is capitalized and has assets or liabilities, may not be indicative of future operating results or operating conditions. Because of its structure, the Company is in large part reliant on the Manager grow its business.

There are a number of key factors that will potentially impact the Company’s operating results going forward, including the Company’s ability to obtain high quality properties at reasonable prices, supervise the renovation of those properties, and subsequently rent and/or sell the properties at premium rental income rates and/or sales prices. Another factor is the Manager’s ability to effectively market the Platform and the Offering to Investors. Finally, another factor is the ability to provide a useful Platform for Investors and maintain it effectively to provide the information and technology infrastructure to support the issuance of Membership Interests.

At the time of this filing, the Company has not commenced its operations of purchasing properties, is not capitalized, and has no assets or liabilities, and will not until such time as a closing has occurred.

In the future, the Company may incur financial obligations related to loans made to the Company by the Manager, Affiliates of the Company, or third-party lenders.

FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

 

The following is a summary of certain relevant federal income tax considerations resulting from an investment in the Company but does not purport to cover all of the potential tax considerations applicable to any specific purchaser. Prospective Investors are urged to consult with and rely upon their own tax advisors for advice on these and other tax matters with specific reference to their own tax situation and potential changes in applicable law discussion is a general summary of certain federal income tax consequences of acquiring, holding and disposing of partnership interests in the Company and is directed to individual Investors who are United States citizens or residents and who will hold their interests in the Company as “capital assets” (generally, property held for investment). It is included for general information only and is not intended as a comprehensive analysis of all potential tax considerations inherent in making an investment in the Company. The tax consequences of an investment in the Company are complex and will vary depending upon each Investor’s individual circumstances, and this discussion does not purport to address federal income tax consequences applicable to all categories of Investors, some of whom may be subject to special or other treatment under the tax laws (including, without limitation, insurance companies, qualified pension plans, tax-exempt organizations, financial institutions or broker-dealers, traders in securities that elect to mark to market, Members owning capital stock as part of a “straddle,” “hedge” or “conversion transaction,” domestic corporations, “S” corporations, REITs or regulated investment companies, trusts and estates, persons who are not citizens or residents of the United States, persons who hold their interests in the Company through a company or other entity that is a pass-through entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes or persons for whom an interest in the Company is not a capital asset or who provide directly or indirectly services to the Company). Further, this discussion does not address all of the foreign, state, local or other tax laws that may be applicable to the Company or its Members.

 

Prospective Investors also should be aware that uncertainty exists concerning various tax aspects of an investment in the Company. This summary is based upon the IRS Code, the Treasury Regulations (the “Treasury Regulations”) promulgated thereunder (including temporary and proposed Treasury Regulations), the legislative history of the IRS Code, current administrative interpretations and practices of the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”), and judicial decisions, all as in effect on the date of this Offering Circular and all of which are under continuing review by Congress, the courts and the IRS and subject to change or differing interpretations.

 

Prospective Investors are urged to consult with and rely upon their own tax advisors for advice on these and other tax matters with specific reference to their own tax situation and potential changes in applicable law.

 

FOREIGN INVESTORS: NON-U.S. INVESTORS ARE SUBJECT TO UNIQUE AND COMPLEX TAX CONSIDERATIONS. THE COMPANY AND THE MANAGER MAKE NO DECLARATIONS AND OFFER NO ADVICE REGARDING THE TAX IMPLICATIONS TO SUCH FOREIGN INVESTORS, AND SUCH INVESTORS ARE URGED TO SEEK INDEPENDENT ADVICE FROM ITS OWN TAX COUNSEL OR ADVISORS BEFORE MAKING ANY INVESTMENT. 

 

Tax Classification of the Company as a Partnership

General.

The federal income tax consequences to the Investors of their investment in the Company will depend upon the classification of the Company as a “Partnership” for federal income tax purposes, rather than as an association taxable as a corporation. For federal income tax purposes, a partnership is not an entity subject to tax, but rather a conduit through which all items of partnership income, gain, loss, deduction and credit are passed through to its Members. Thus, income and deductions resulting from Company operations are allocated to the Investors in the Company and are taken into account by such Investors on their individual federal income tax returns. In addition, a distribution of money or marketable securities from the Company to a Member generally is not taxable to the Member unless the amount of the distribution exceeds the Member’s tax basis in his interest in the Company. In general, an unincorporated entity formed under the laws of a state in the United States with at least two members, such as the Company, will be treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes provided that (i) it is not a “publicly traded partnership” under Section 7704 of the IRS Code and (ii) does not affirmatively elect to be classified as an association taxable as a corporation under the so-called “check the box” regulations relating to entity classification. The Company is not currently a “publicly traded partnership” within the meaning of Section 7704 of the IRS Code for the reasons discussed below. In addition, the Manager does not intend to affirmatively elect classification of the Company as an association taxable as a corporation. Accordingly, the Manager has elected that the Company will be classified as a partnership for federal income tax purposes.

 

The Manager has no intention of the Company being traded on any market. However, in the event the Company does become publicly traded, then the following rules apply:

 

Publicly Traded Partnership Rules.

Under Section 7704 of the IRS Code, a partnership that meets the definition of a “publicly traded partnership” may be treated as a corporation depending on the nature of its income. If the Company were so treated as a corporation for federal income tax purposes, the Company would be a separate taxable entity subject to corporate income tax, and distributions from the Company to a partners would be taxable to the partners in the same manner as a distribution from a corporation to a shareholder (i.e., as dividend income to the extent of the current and accumulated earnings and profits of the Company, as a nontaxable reduction of basis to the extent of the partner’s adjusted tax basis in his interests in the Company, and thereafter as gain from the sale or exchange of the Investors interests in the Company). The effect of classification of the Company as a corporation would be to reduce substantially the after-tax economic return on an investment in the Company.

 

A partnership will be deemed a publicly traded partnership if (a) interests in such partnership are traded on an established securities market, or (b) interests in such partnership are readily tradable on a secondary market or the substantial equivalent thereof. As discussed in this offering circular, interests in the Company (i) will not be traded on an established securities market; and (ii) will be subject to transfer restrictions set forth in the Operating Agreement. Specifically, the Operating Agreement generally prohibits any transfer of a partnership interest without the prior consent of the Manager except in connection with an Exempt Transfer. The Manager will consider prior to consenting to any transfer of an interest in the Company if such transfer would or could reasonably be expected to jeopardize the status of the Company as a partnership for federal income tax purposes.

 

The remaining discussion assumes that the Company will be treated as a partnership and not as an association taxable as a corporation for federal income tax purposes. 

 

Allocation of Partnership Income, Gains, Losses, Deductions and Credits

Investors will become Members of the Company once they have executed a subscription agreement, their funds have been deposited into the Company’s escrow account, and the Manager has accepted the Investor as a Member of the Company.

 

Profits and Losses are allocated to the Members under the Operating Agreement. In general, Profits or Losses during any fiscal year will be allocated as of the end of such fiscal year to each Member in accordance with their ownership interests. Certain allocations may be effected to comply with the “qualified income offset” provisions of applicable Treasury Regulations relating to partnership allocations (as referenced below).

 

Under Section 704(b) of the IRS Code, a Company’s allocations will generally be respected for federal income tax purposes if they have “substantial economic effect” or are otherwise in accordance with the “member’s interests in the partnership.” The Company will maintain a capital account for each Member in accordance with federal income tax accounting principles as set forth in the Treasury Regulations under Section 704(b), and the Operating Agreement does contain a qualified income offset provision. The Operating Agreement requires liquidating distributions to be made in accordance with the economic intent of the transaction and the allocations of Company income, gain, loss, and deduction under the Operating Agreement are designed to be allocated to the Members with the economic benefit of such allocations and are in a manner generally in accordance with the principles of Treasury Regulations issued under Section 704(b) of the IRS Code relating to the Member’s Interest in the Company. As a result, although the Operating Agreement may not follow in all respects applicable guidelines set forth in the Treasury Regulations issued under Section 704(b), the Manager anticipates that the Company’s allocations would generally be respected as being in accordance with the Member’s interest in the Company. However, if the IRS were to determine that the Company’s allocations did not have substantial economic effect or were not otherwise in accordance with the Members’ interests in the Company, then the taxable income, gain, loss and deduction of the Company might be reallocated in a manner different from that specified in the Operating Agreement and such reallocation could have an adverse tax and financial effect on Members.

 

Limitations on Deduction of Losses.

The ability of a Member to deduct the Member’s share of the Company’s losses or deductions during any particular year is subject to numerous limitations, including the basis limitation, the at-risk limitation, the passive activity loss limitation and the limitation on the deduction of investment interest. Each prospective Investor should consult with its own tax advisor regarding the application of these rules to it in respect of an investment in the Company.

 

Basis Limitation. Subject to other loss limitation rules, a Member is allowed to deduct its allocable share of the Company’s losses (if any) only to the extent of such Member’s adjusted tax basis in its interest in the Company at the end of the Company’s taxable year in which the losses occur.

 

At-Risk LimitationIn the case of a Member that is an individual, trust, or certain type of corporation, the ability to utilize tax losses allocated to such Member under the Operating Agreement may be limited under the “at-risk” provisions of the IRS Code. For this purpose, a Member who acquires a Company interest pursuant to the Offering generally will have an initial at-risk amount with respect to the Company’s activities equal to the amount of cash contributed to the Company in exchange for its interest in the Company. This initial at-risk amount will be increased by the Member’s allocable share of the Company’s income and gains and decreased by their share of the Company’s losses and deductions and the amount of cash distributions made to the Member. Liabilities of the Company, whether recourse or nonrecourse, generally will not increase a Member’s amount at-risk with respect to the Company. Any losses or deductions that may not be deducted by reason of the at-risk limitation may be carried forward and deducted in later taxable years to the extent that the Member’s at-risk amount is increased in such later years (subject to application of the other loss limitations). Generally, the at-risk limitation is to be applied on an activity-by-activity basis. If the amount for which a Member is considered to be at-risk with respect to the activities of the Company is reduced below zero (e.g., by distributions), the Member will be required to recognize gross income to the extent that their at-risk amount is reduced below zero.

 

Passive Loss Limitation. To the extent that the Company is engaged in trade or business activities, such activities will be treated as “passive activities” in respect of any Member to whom Section 469 of the IRS Code applies (individuals, estates, trusts, personal service corporations and, with modifications, certain closely-held C corporations), and, subject to the discussion below regarding portfolio income, the income and losses in respect of those activities will be “passive activity income” and “passive activity losses.” Under Section 469 of the IRS Code, a taxpayer’s losses and income from all passive activities for a year are aggregated. Losses from one passive activity may be offset against income from other passive activities. However, if a taxpayer has a net loss from all passive activities, such taxpayer generally may not use such net loss to offset other types of income, such as wage and other earned income or portfolio income (e.g., interest, dividends and certain other investment type income). Member income and capital gains from certain types of investments are treated as portfolio income under the passive activity rules and are not considered to be income from a passive activity. Unused passive activity losses may be carried forward and offset against passive activity income in subsequent years. In addition, any unused loss from a particular passive activity may be deducted against other income in any year if the taxpayer’s entire interest in the activity is disposed of in a fully taxable transaction.

 

Non-Business Interest LimitationGenerally, a non-corporate taxpayer may deduct “investment interest” only to the extent of such taxpayer’s “net investment income.” Investment interest subject to such limitations may be carried forward to later years when the taxpayer has additional net investment income. Investment interest is interest paid on debt incurred or continued to acquire or carry property held for investment. Net investment income generally includes gross income and gains from property held for investment reduced by any expenses directly connected with the production of such income and gains. To the extent that interest is attributable to a passive activity, it is treated as a passive activity deduction and is subject to limitation under the passive activity rules and not under the investment interest limitation rules. 

 

Limitation on Deductibility of Capital Losses. The excess of capital losses over capital gains may be offset against ordinary income of a non-corporate taxpayer, subject to an annual deduction limitation of $3,000. A non-corporate taxpayer may carry excess capital losses forward indefinitely.

 

Taxation of Undistributed Company Income (Individual Investors)

Under the laws pertaining to federal income taxation of limited liability companies that are treated as partnerships, no federal income tax is paid by the Company as an entity. Each individual Member reports on his federal income tax return his distributive share of Company income, gains, losses, deductions, and credits, whether or not any actual distribution is made to such Member during a taxable year. Each individual Member may deduct his distributive share of Company losses, if any, to the extent of the tax basis of his Interests at the end of the Company year in which the losses occurred. The characterization of an item of profit or loss will usually be the same for the Member as it was for the Company.

 

Tax Returns

Annually, the Company will provide the Members sufficient information from the Company's informational tax return for such persons to prepare their individual federal, state and local tax returns. The Company's informational tax returns will be prepared by a tax professional selected by the Manager.

ERISA CONSIDERATIONS

 

In some cases, if Investor fails to meet the fiduciary and other standards under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), the Code or common law as a result of an investment in the Company’s Membership Interests, Investor could be subject to liability for losses as well as civil penalties.

 

There are special considerations that apply to investing in the Company’s Membership Interests on behalf of pension, profit sharing or 401(k) plans, health or welfare plans, individual retirement accounts or Keogh plans. If Investor is investing the assets of any of the entities identified in the prior sentence in the Company’s Membership Interests, Investor should ensure that:

 

  1. The investment is consistent with Investor’s fiduciary obligations under applicable law, including common law, ERISA and the Code;

 

  2. The investment is made in accordance with the documents and instruments governing the trust, plan or IRA, including a plan’s investment policy;

 

  3. The investment satisfies the prudence and diversification requirements of Sections 404(a)(1)(B) and 404(a)(1)(C) of ERISA, if applicable, and other applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code;

 

  4. The investment will not impair the liquidity of the trust, plan or IRA;

 

  5. The investment will not produce “unrelated business taxable income” for the plan or IRA;

 

  6. Investor will be able to value the assets of the plan annually in accordance with ERISA requirements and applicable provisions of the applicable trust, plan or IRA document; and

 

  7. The investment will not constitute a prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code.

 

Failure to satisfy the fiduciary standards of conduct and other applicable requirements of ERISA, the Code, or other applicable statutory or common law may result in the imposition of civil penalties and can subject the fiduciary to liability for any resulting losses as well as equitable remedies. In addition, if an investment in the Company’s Membership Interests constitutes a prohibited transaction under the Code, the “disqualified person” that engaged in the transaction may be subject to the imposition of excise taxes with respect to the amount invested.

Independent Auditor’s Report

 

To the Member of XIV-I Invest 1, LLC

 

Opinion

 

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of XIV-I Invest 1, LLC, which comprise the balance sheet as of December 31, 2022 and the related statements of operations, member’s equity, and cash flows for the period from February 7, 2022 (inception) to December 31, 2022, and the related notes to the financial statements.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of XIV-I Invest 1, LLC as of December 31, 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period from February 7, 2022 (inception) to December 31, 2022 in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of XIV-I Invest 1, LLC and to meet our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

 

Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements

 

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for 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.

 

In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about XIV-I Invest 1, LLC’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are available to be issued.

 

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgement made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.

 

In performing an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, we:

 

  · Exercise professional judgement and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.

 

  · Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.

 

  · Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit 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 XIV-I Invest 1, LLC’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.

 

  · Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements.

 

  · Conclude whether, in our judgement, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about XIV-I Invest 1, LLC’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

 

Doubt about the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note C to the financial statements include no assets or equity. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s evaluation of the events and conditions and management’s plans regarding those matters are also described in Note C. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

 

We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control related matters that we identified during the audit.

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2022

 

Note A – Nature of Business and Organization

 

XIV-I Invest 1, LLC (the “Company”) is a Delaware Limited Liability Company formed on February 7, 2022 under the laws of Delaware. The Company was formed to acquire, manage, develop, rehabilitate, preserve, or create an impact real estate investment portfolio consisting of: for lease multifamily, for sale single family, and land in serving such uses.

 

Note B – Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with an original maturity of less than three months to be cash and cash equivalents. The Company places its temporary cash investments with high quality financial institutions. At times, such investments may be in excess of FDIC insurance limits. The Company does not believe it is exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company is a limited liability company under the laws of the State of Delaware and has elected to be treated as a partnership for federal tax reporting purposes. As such, the Company does not pay federal or state income taxes on its taxable income. Instead, the income is passed through to the members. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been made in the financial statements.

 

The Company recognizes and discloses uncertain tax position in accordance with GAAP. The Company evaluated its tax positions and determined it has no uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2022. The Company’s tax returns are subject to income tax examinations generally for a period of three years from the date of filing. The Company’s 2022 tax year will be open for examination for federal and state taxing authorities.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure on contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Note C – Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is a dependent upon future sales and obtaining additional capital and financing. While the Company believes in the viability of its ability to raise additional funds, there can be no assurances to that effect. The financial statements do not include adjustments to reflect the possible effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Note D – Member’s Deficit

 

Class A Interests

 

The Company has authorized interests of Seven Million Five Hundred Thousand (7,500,000) Class A Interests each representing an original Capital Contribution of Ten and 00/100 Dollars ($10.00) for an aggregate of Seventy Five Million and 00/100 Dollars ($75,000,000.00). Capital Contributions shall be payable in accordance with the written Subscription Agreement between the Company and the Class A Members. The aggregate equity of the Class A Interests is eighty-five percent (85%) of the Company, which shall not be reduced under any circumstances without the consent of a majority in interest of the Class A Members. No Class A interests were outstanding as of December 31, 2022.

 

Class B Interests

 

The Company has authorized interests of one thousand (1000) Class B Interests each requiring a capital contribution of Twenty Five Dollars ($25.00) for Twenty Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000.00) in the aggregate, which may be paid by the payments of expenses associated with the formation of the Company and the offering of the Class A Interests. If fully issued, the Class B Interests shall represent fifteen percent (15%) of the aggregate profits, losses and tax credits or other tax items in the Company. Amounts advanced by the Class B Member or an affiliate thereof for the benefit of the Company in excess of Twenty Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000.00) shall be reimbursable by the Company. The Company has authorized the issuance of 1,000 interests as of June 30, 2022. The Company issued the interests on August 19, 2022.

 

Note E – Related Parties

 

As of December 31, 2022, the Company owed approximately $24,000 to a related party who funded formation expenses.

 

Note F – Commitments and Contingencies

 

Contingencies

 

Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company but which only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company’s management and its legal counsel assess such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgement. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings, the Company’s legal counsel evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.

 

If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable, but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss if determinable and material, would be disclosed.

 

Note G – Subsequent Events

 

Management has assessed subsequent events through April 13, 2023, the date on which the financial statements were available to be issued.
