Risks: Private Placements and Direct Participation Programs are speculative investments and involve a high degree of risk. These risks include, but are not limited to, lack of liquidity, limited transferability, conflicts of interest, economic and real estate fluctuations based upon a number of factors, which may include changes in interest rates, laws, operating expenses, and tenant turnover. There is no guarantee that any investment in the Renter Wealth Creation Fund (the “Fund”) will be successful or the Fund will achieve its investment objectives, including, among other things, generate profits, issue distributions, obtain tax benefits or result in selling the relevant properties as intended. All investing involves risk, including potential loss of principal. Below are some of the key risks relating to an investment in the Fund. A more detailed discussion of the “risk factors” related to the “Fund” are included in the Private Placement Memorandum.
Investment Objective to Limit Investor Returns. Operating cash and capital proceeds distributions will be limited, to a certain extent, to the amount necessary to achieve initial preferred returns and fund target returns for the Fund’s members, and cash that would otherwise be distributed to the members will be used to create wealth for tenants as part of the Cash Rewards Programs and Capital Proceeds Sharing Programs. As a result, the Fund will receive lower returns than other investments members could make in private funds or other vehicles that do not have tenant wealth creation as a primary objective of such investment’s strategy. Moreover, initial preferred returns and Fund target returns may never be realized by the Fund and paid to investors. In addition, to the extent the managing member seeks investments under the Community Reinvestment Act to meet the social objectives of the Fund, the Fund may receive lower returns.
Subordination of Class B Members. Distributions to Class B Members will be subordinated to distributions to Class A Members. There can be no assurance that the Fund will be able to generate enough distributable cash to achieve the initial preferred returns or the Fund’s target return of Class B Members, and to the extent that Distributable Cash is not available to fully make such distributions to Class B Members, Class B Members may receive lower returns from the Fund than Class A Members.
Illiquidity of Interests. Investors should be aware of the long-term nature of this investment. There is not now and will not be a secondary market for interests in the Fund.
Limitations on Raising Capital. The Fund’s managing member may be restricted in raising capital from potential members of the Fund.
Investor Failure to Fund Capital Commitment. If one or more investors fail to fund their capital commitment obligations when due, the Fund’s ability to complete its investment program or otherwise to continue operations may be substantially impaired. A default by one or more investors who have made capital commitments could limit the Fund’s opportunities for investment diversification and reduce returns to the Fund.
Lack of Operating History. The Fund’s managing member and the Fund are both newly organized entities and accordingly, have no operating history upon which prospective investors can evaluate the Fund’s likely performance. Although the Fund’s management team is composed of professions with experience in acquiring and financing affordable housing projects, there can be no assurance that the performance of those activities will be reflective of the future performance of the Fund.
Reliance on Key Persons of the Fund’s management team. The ability of the Fund’s managing member to manage the Fund’s affairs currently depends on the management team of Enterprise Community Investment, Inc. There can be no assurance that the members of the management team will remain affiliated with Enterprise Community Investment, Inc. throughout the term of the Fund or otherwise be able to continue to carry on their current duties throughout such term. The inability to recruit and hire replacement or additional key personnel as needed could have a material adverse effect on the Fund’s operations.
Investment Policies and Strategies. The Fund may not meet its stated investment strategy and goals, and the Fund’s managing member has the right to vary from its strategy and policies if it determines it is in the best interests of the Fund.
Lack of Control by Investors. Investors will not have an opportunity to evaluate the investments made by the Fund or the terms of any particular investment. Investors should expect to rely solely on the ability of the Fund’s managing member to make appropriate investments for the Fund and to appropriately manage and dispose of the investments.
Limited Right to Remove the Managing Member. The power of the Fund’s members to remove the Fund’s managing member is limited.
General Economic and Other Conditions. The Fund will make investments in real estate projects and these investments may be adversely affected from time to time by such matters as changes in general economic, industrial and international conditions, changes in taxes, prices and costs, and other factors of a general nature that are beyond the control of the Fund.
Changes in the Regulatory Environment. The regulatory environment for private funds and other financial entities is evolving. Changes in law or regulations may adversely affect the value of investments held (directly or indirectly) by the Fund, may affect the ability of the Fund to pursue its investment strategies, or may restrict or prevent the Fund’s managing member or asset manager from continuing to perform services for the Fund in the manner currently contemplated.
General Risks Inherent in Real Estate Investments. The Fund will be subject to risks incident to the ownership of real estate, including: changes in general economic or local conditions; changes in tenant preferences that reduce the attractiveness of the Fund’s properties to tenants; fluctuation in occupancy rates, operating expenses and rental schedules; costs associated with the need to periodically repair, renovate and re-lease space; withdrawal of tenants and difficulty replacing tenants; tenant defaults; changes in supply or demand of competing properties in an area; changes in interest rates, zoning and other governmental regulations and availability of permanent mortgage funds that may render the sale of a property difficult or unattractive; increases in maintenance, insurance and other operating costs, including real estate taxes, associated with one or more properties, which may occur as other circumstances such as market factors and competition cause a reduction in revenues from such properties; inflation; changes in tax laws and rates; and imposition or extension of rent controls by governmental authorities.
Lack of Liquidity of Real Estate Investments. The Fund’s real estate investments will generally be highly illiquid compared to other asset classes. Given the nature of real estate investments, the Fund may be unable to realize its investment objectives by sale or other disposition at attractive prices within any given period of time, or may otherwise be unable to complete any exit strategy for its investments. In some cases the Fund may be prohibited by contract from selling investments for a period of time, or there may be contractual rights or obligations that may otherwise significantly affect price and/or liquidity. In addition, it is expected that investments will not be sold until a number of years after they are made. The types of investments held by the Fund may be such that they require a substantial length of time to liquidate.
Due Diligence and Analytic Risks of Real Estate Investments. There is generally limited publicly available information about real properties, and the Fund must therefore rely on due diligence conducted by its managing member and/or its affiliates. Should the Fund’s managing member’s and/or its affiliates’ pre-acquisition evaluation of the physical condition of each new investment fail to detect certain defects or necessary repairs, the total investment cost could be significantly higher than expected. Furthermore, should the managing member’s estimates of the costs of improving, repositioning or redeveloping an acquired property prove too low, or its estimates of the time required to achieve occupancy prove too optimistic, the profitability of the investment may be adversely affected. |
