OFFERING CIRCULAR
Groundfloor Finance Inc.
Seven Series of Limited Recourse Obligations
Totaling $499,800
Dated: September 27, 2016
This Post-Qualification Offering Circular Amendment No. 33 (this “Offering Circular Amendment No. 33”) amends the offering circular of Groundfloor Finance Inc, dated December 8, 2015, as qualified on December 15, 2015, and as may be amended and supplemented from time to time (the “Offering Circular”), to add additional securities to be offered pursuant to the Offering Circular. Unless otherwise defined below, capitalized terms used herein shall have the same meanings as set forth in the Offering Circular. See “Incorporation by Reference of Offering Circular” below.
This Offering Circular Amendment No. 33 relates to the offer and sale (the “Offering”) of up to an additional $499,800 in aggregate amount of Limited Recourse Obligations (the “LROs”) consisting of seven separate series of LROs to be issued by Groundfloor Finance Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). We own and operate a web-based investment platform (the “Platform”) on which we conduct our business. Our principal offices are located at 75 Fifth Street, NW, Suite 2170, Atlanta, GA 30308. The phone number for these offices is (404) 850-9225. Our mailing address is PO Box 79346, Atlanta, GA 30357, and the telephone number for this location is (678) 701-1194. Our Platform is accessible at www.groundfloor.us.
We will issue the LROs in distinct series, each corresponding to a real estate development project (each, a “Project”) to be financed by a commercial loan from us (each, a “Loan”). The borrower for each Project is a legal entity (the “Developer”) that owns the underlying property and has been organized by one or more individuals (each, a “Principal”) that own and operate the Developer.
The LROs will be unsecured special, limited obligations of the Company. The LROs are not listed on any national securities exchange or on the over-the-counter inter-dealer quotation system. There is no market for the LROs. Our obligation to make payments on a LRO is limited to an amount equal to each holder’s pro rata share of amounts we actually receive as payments on the corresponding Loan, net of certain fees and expenses retained by us. See the sections titled “General Terms of the LROs,” beginning on page 4 and page 91 of the Offering Circular, “The LROS Covered by this Offering Circular,” and “Project Summaries” below for the specific terms of the seven series of LROs covered by this Offering Circular Amendment No. 33.
We do not guarantee payment of the LROs in the amount or on the time frame expected. The LROs are not obligations of the Developers or their Principals, and we do not guarantee payment on the corresponding Loans. We have the authority to modify the terms of the corresponding Loans which could, in certain circumstances, reduce (or eliminate) the expected return on your investment. See “General Terms of the LROs—Administration, Service, Collection and Enforcement of Loan Documents”.
The LROs are speculative securities. Investment in the LROs involves significant risk, and you may be required to hold your investment for an indefinite period of time. You should purchase these securities only if you can afford a complete loss of your investment. See the “Risk Factors” section on page 16 of the Offering Circular.
We will commence offering each series of LROs promptly after the date this Offering Circular Amendment No. 33 is qualified by posting a separate landing page on our Platform corresponding to each particular Loan and Project (each, a “Project Summary”). The offering of each series of LROs covered by this Offering Circular Amendment No. 33 will remain open until the earlier of (1) 30 days, unless extended, or (2) the date the offering of a particular series of LROs is fully subscribed with irrevocable funding commitments (the “Offering Period”); however, we may extend the Offering Period for a particular series of LROs in our sole discretion (with notice to potential investors), up to a maximum of 45 days. We will notify investors who have previously committed funds to purchase such series of LROs of any such extension by email and will post a notice of the extension on the corresponding Project Summary on our Platform.
This Offering is being conducted on a “best-efforts” basis, which means our officers will use their commercially reasonable best efforts in an attempt to sell the LROs. Such officers will not receive any commission or any other remuneration for these sales. In offering the LROs on our behalf, the officers will rely on the safe harbor from broker-dealer registration set out in Rule 3a4-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
The LROs offered hereby may only be purchased by investors residing in California, Georgia, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Texas, Virginia, Washington, and the District of Columbia. This Offering Circular Amendment No. 33 shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sales of these securities in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be, unlawful, prior to registration or qualification under the laws of any such state. In addition, the LROs are offered only to investors who meet certain financial suitability requirements. See “Investor Suitability Requirements.”

YOU SHOULD MAKE AN INDEPENDENT DECISION WHETHER THIS OFFERING MEETS YOUR INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND FINANCIAL RISK TOLERANCE LEVEL. NO INDEPENDENT PERSON HAS CONFIRMED THE ACCURACY OR TRUTHFULNESS OF THIS DISCLOSURE, NOR WHETHER IT IS COMPLETE. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS ILLEGAL.

INVEST NOW Click here to view the LRO PROPERTY PHOTOS MISCELLANEOUS PROJECT SPECIFIC RISK FACTORS A closing date has not been set yet for the purchase of this property. We will not originate a loan on this property until the closing process commences. Although the Borrower has negotiated to purchase the property for the stated purchase price, there can be no assurances the Borrower will close on the acquisition at this price. However, the Borrower’s Skin-in-the-Game will not change regardless of any changes to the closing price. The renovation of the property may be extensive, and therefore subject to delays and other unexpected issues. The renovation will require permitting, and permits may not be obtained on time or may be denied. The funding of this senior loan will be subject to a clean title search, and the resolution of any title or tax issues. The Borrower’s 2015 revenue was derived from rental properties because the Borrower’s primary focus in 2015 was buy and hold.
