An offering statement pursuant to Regulation A relating to these securities has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”). Information contained in this Offering Circular is subject to completion or amendment. These securities may not be sold nor may offers to buy be accepted before the offering statement filed with the Commission is qualified. This Offering Circular 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 before registration or qualification under the laws of any such state. The Company may elect to satisfy its obligation to deliver a Final Offering Circular by sending you a notice within two business days after the completion of our sale that contains the URL where the Final Offering Circular or the offering statement in which such Final Offering Circular was filed may be obtained.

We are offering up to a maximum amount of 75,000 Class A Interests (“Interests” or “Class A Interests”) at $1,000 per Interest, or up to $75,000,000 in Class A Interests (the “Maximum Offering Amount”) to qualified purchasers hereunder, also referred to herein as “Purchasers” or “Subscribers” (the “Offering”).  Purchasers shall, upon acceptance by the Manager of their Subscriptions and upon receipt by the Company of full payment for such Interests, receive uncertificated Class A Interests in the Company become Class A Members in the Company. The minimum accepted from any Subscriber is $1,000. Funds will be made immediately available to the Company once the Company raises a minimum of $1,000,000, or 1,000 Interests (“Minimum Offering Amount”). The Company is selling our Interests through a Tier 2 offering pursuant to Regulation A (“Regulation A+”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and we intend to sell the Units directly to investors through registered broker-dealers who are paid commissions and via the Company’s website. The Company has engaged Dalmore Group, LLC, a New York limited liability company and FINRA/SIPC registered broker-dealer (“Dalmore”), to provide broker-dealer services in seven specified states, including Washington, Arizona, Texas, Alabama, North Dakota, Florida, and New Jersey, in connection with this Offering. Funds will be used for acquiring real estate assets throughout the United States as well as for working capital in accordance with the Business Purpose of the Company (as defined in the Operating Agreement). The Company’s planned operations involves the purchase of real estate throughout the United States. The Company intends to focus its investment efforts on those properties that are income producing. It is expected that the Company will focus on multifamily properties, but may also consider real estate assets such as single family self-storage, warehouse and industrial, office, and retail properties. The Company intends on holding the investments in the properties for up to seven (7) to ten (10) years. The Company intends on purchasing interests in Special Purpose Entities (SPEs).

The Company intends to invest capital from the proceeds of this Offering for the first three (3) years. Thereafter, the Company will hold and, eventually, sell assets purchased.

Unless terminated by the Manager earlier, this Offering commences upon this Offering Circular being declared qualified and terminates 365 days after commencement of this Offering (the “Offering Period”). The Manager may extend this Offering in its sole discretion for an additional one-year period at which time, the Manager will file the appropriate Offering Circular for qualification with the Commission. There are no provisions for the return of funds once the minimum of 1,000 Interests are sold.

__________ 

Purchasers of our Interests qualified hereunder may be unable to sell their Interests, because there may not be a public market for our securities. Any purchaser of our securities should be in a financial position to hold their Interests indefinitely and bear the risks of losing their entire investment.

The transfer of Interests is limited. A Member may assign, his, her or its Interests only if certain conditions set forth in the Company’s Operating Agreement are satisfied. Potential subscribers of the Interests should expect to remain in the Company for ten (10) years. At, or around, the eighth year of operations, the Manager will attempt to sell, refinance, or otherwise dispose of properties in order to return Capital Account Balances (as defined in the Company’s Operating Agreement) to the Members. The Manager may, at its discretion, sell the properties to, among other potential purchasers, a third-party in order to redeem Members within the ten-year expected time frame. Potential investors should note that the Operating Agreement does not compel the Manager to sell all the properties by year ten, and thus, there is a risk that an investor may remain in the Company indefinitely, although that is not the intention of the Manager as stated herein.

The Company has been formed to acquire various real estate assets throughout the United States. Although the Manager intends to target inner city communities, the Company will not limit itself geographically. The Company intends to focus its investment efforts on properties where the Company can make the greatest impact.

The Company is considered an “emerging growth company” under Section 101(a) of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (the “JOBS Act”) as it is an issuer that had total annual gross revenues of less than $1 billion during its most recently completed fiscal year.

Since the Company is an emerging growth company certain Risk Factors include:

By purchasing Interests, Subscribers are bound by the dispute resolution provisions contained in our Operating Agreement which limits your ability to bring class action lawsuits or seek remedy on a class basis. The dispute resolution process provisions do not apply to claims under the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. By agreeing to the dispute resolution process, including mandatory arbitration, investors will not be deemed to have waived the Company’s compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. Jury trial and pre-trial discovery waivers do not apply to those claims related to federal securities laws violations.

See the section entitled “RISK FACTORS” beginning on page 9 for a more comprehensive discussion of risks to consider before purchasing our Class A Interests.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q: What is Own Our Own Fund I, LLC?

A: Own Our Own Fund I, LLC is a newly formed company created for the specific purpose of identifying and purchasing a diverse portfolio of real estate assets. The Company has been formed to acquire various real estate assets throughout the United States. The Company intends to purchase properties that will appreciate in value over the expected hold period of approximately ten (10) years.

Q: How will Own Our Own Fund I, LLC (OWN) identify properties?

A: The Manager will search for properties using brokers and relationships in the markets where the Manager believes there are opportunities.

Q: What kind of return may be expected by a Member?

A: The Company does not currently own any material assets, therefore, returns are speculative. However, it is the Company’s intent to distribute 80% of Distributable Cash to Class A Members, to be further distributed among Class A Interest holders, or Class A Members, pro rata based on their relative Class A Percentage Interests, but also subject to dilution to the Class A Interest holders (as a class) not to exceed 20% without Member approval (See the “SUMMARY OF OPERATING AGREEMENT” on page 40 and the terms of the Operating Agreement itself for more information.)

Q: What is the minimum investment amount allowed?

A: $1,000.

Q: Who may invest?

A: The Interests will be available to anyone, generally speaking, however, the Manager reserves the right to reject any subscription they wish. Further, Investors will not be allowed to invest more than the greater of 10% of their net worth or their net income.

Q: Where can I buy Class A Interests?

A: All Interests will be available for purchase at ownourown.com.

Q: Who is the Manager?

A: The Manager is Own Our Own Manager, LLC which is controlled by David Gross. For more info on Mr. Gross, please see “MANAGER, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, PROMOTERS AND CONTROL PERSONS”

Q: How can I sell my Interests?

A: Generally speaking, the Interests will not be transferable. Investors should consider investing for the long-term as disposition of the Interests will be difficult, if not impossible. The Company intends to operate for approximately ten (10) years at which time the Manager intends to employ a variety of exit strategies with the intent of then distributing the Capital Account Balances to the Members. Ideally, at or around ten years, the Company will begin to sell or refinance properties that have appreciated in value. Potential investors should note that the Operating Agreement does not compel the Manager to sell all the properties by year ten, and thus, there is a risk that an investor may remain in the Company indefinitely, although that is not the intention of the Manager as stated herein.

Q: Will I be charged upfront selling commissions?

A: No. Investors, individually, will not pay upfront selling commissions as part of the price per Interest purchased in this Offering and any payments of commission will not directly affect the Capital Account Balance of any individual directed for such a sale. The Company has enlisted the services of Dalmore Group, LLC, a broker dealer to serve as the broker dealer in certain states that do not recognize the exemption available under Rule 3(a)(4)(1). However, if the Manager finds that selling the Interests is difficult, it may later enlist the services of a licensed broker- dealer to assist with the sales of the Interests, in which case sales commissions will be paid by the Company.

Q: Do you have a redemption program?

A: No. We do not currently have a redemption program. An Investor should expect to remain in the Company for a period of at least ten (10) years. Potential investors should note that the Operating Agreement does not compel the Manager to sell all the properties by year ten, and thus, there is a risk that an investor may remain in the Company indefinitely, although that is not the intention of the Manager as stated herein.

Q: May I make an investment through my IRA or other tax-deferred retirement account?

A: Yes. You may make an investment through your IRA or other tax-deferred retirement account. In making these investment decisions, you should consider, at a minimum, (1) whether the investment is in accordance with the documents and instruments governing your IRA, plan or other retirement account, (2) whether the investment would constitute a prohibited transaction under applicable law, (3) whether the investment satisfies the fiduciary requirements associated with your IRA, plan or other retirement account, (4) whether the investment will generate unrelated business taxable income (“UBTI”) to your IRA, plan or other retirement account, and (5) whether there is sufficient liquidity for such investment under your IRA, plan or other retirement account. You should note that an investment in our Class A Interests will not, in itself, create a retirement plan and that, in order to create a retirement plan, you must comply with all applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “IRS Code”).

It is the Company’s understanding that IRA and Roth IRA investments can be made through self-directed accounts which are not managed by the Company and most likely will be charged fees to manage the self-directed account. These fees will need to be paid by the investor and are not considered an expense of the Company.

Q: Is there any minimum initial offering amount required to be sold?

A: Yes, we intend to raise a minimum of $1,000,000 prior to using funds to purchase properties or for working capital. We may start funding properties as soon as we identify a property. In some circumstances, the management or some related entity may “pre-fund” a property and funds from this offering will go to replace that “pre-funding” amount as funds are available.

Q: Will I be notified of how my investment is doing?

A: Yes, we will provide you with periodic updates on the performance of your investment in us, including:

We will provide this information to you by posting such information on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov, on our website at www.ownourown.com, and via e-mail.

Q: When will I get my detailed tax information?

A: We expect to deliver your schedule K-1 tax information by March 31st of the year following each taxable year.

EXEMPTIONS UNDER JUMPSTART OUR BUSINESS STARTUPS ACT

We are an emerging growth company. An emerging growth company is one that had total annual gross revenues of less than $1,000,000,000 (as such amount is indexed for inflation every 5 years by the Commission to reflect the change in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, setting the threshold to the nearest 1,000,000) during its most recently completed fiscal year. We would lose our emerging growth status if we were to exceed $1,000,000,000 in gross revenues. We are not sure this will ever take place.

Because we are an emerging growth company, we have the exemption from Section 404(b) of Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and Section 14A(a) and (b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Under Section 404(b), we are now exempt from the internal control assessment required by subsection (a) that requires each independent auditor that prepares or issues the audit report for the issuer shall attest to, and report on, the assessment made by the management of the issuer. We are also not required to receive a separate resolution regarding either executive compensation or for any golden parachutes for our executives so long as we continue to operate as an emerging growth company.

We hereby elect to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards under Section 102(b)(1).

We will lose our status as an emerging growth company in the following circumstances:

RISK FACTORS

Investors in the Company should be particularly aware of the inherent risks associated with our business. As of the date of this filing our management is aware of the following material risks.

General Risks Related to Our Business

We are an emerging growth company organized in November 2019 and have not yet commenced material operations, which makes an evaluation of us extremely difficult. At this stage of our business operations, even with our good faith efforts, we may never become profitable or generate any significant amount of revenues, thus potential investors have a possibility of losing their investment.

We were organized in November 2019 and have not yet commenced material operations. As a result of our start-up status we (i) have generated no revenues, (ii) will accumulate deficits due to organizational and start-up activities, business plan development, and professional fees since we organized. There is nothing at this time, other than the track record of our management, on which to base an assumption that our business operations will prove to be successful or that we will ever be able to operate profitably. However, past results do not guarantee future profitability. Our future operating results will depend on many factors, including our ability to raise adequate working capital, availability of properties for purchase, the level of our competition and our ability to attract and maintain key management and employees.

We are significantly dependent on David Gross. The loss or unavailability of his services would have an adverse effect on our business, operations and prospects in that we may not be able to obtain new management under the same financial arrangements, which could result in a partial loss or return of your investment.

The acquisition of properties and the attainment of new investors is significantly dependent on David Gross. We expect that our investor base will be largely drawn from Mr. Gross’s exposure on social media and on media content delivered over the Company’s website but will not be limited to those outlets. Mr. Gross implemented the Company’s strategy to identify and acquire real estate assets, which has resulted in the success of his prior real estate investments. It would be difficult to replace David Gross at such an early stage of development of the Company. Should the Company be unable to replace David Gross it may be required to cease pursuing business opportunities, which may result in a partial loss or return of your investment.

This offering is a blind pool offering, and therefore, Members will not have the opportunity to evaluate some of our investments before we make them, which makes investments more speculative.

We will seek to invest substantially all of the net offering proceeds from this Offering, after the payment of fees and expenses, in the acquisition of or investment in interests in assets. However, because, as of the date of this Offering Circular, we have not identified the assets we expect to acquire and because our Members will be unable to evaluate the economic merit of assets before we invest in them, they will have to rely on the ability of our Manager to select suitable and successful investment opportunities. These factors increase the risk that our Members’ investment may not generate returns comparable to the Company’s competitors.

Our Manager will have complete control over the business operations and strategy of the Company and will therefore make all decisions over which Members will have no control.

Own Our Own Manager, LLC, our Manager, will make all decisions relating to the business, operations, and strategy, without input by the Members. Such decisions may include purchase and sale decisions regarding the assets, the appointment of other officers, managers, vendors and whether to enter into material transactions with related parties.

Our Manager does not have any experience in managing a real estate fund like the Company.

Our manager of our Manager, Mr. David Gross, has independently and with other partners, purchased real estate assets for his own account. These purchases have not used funds from any passive investors. Therefore, potential investors should be aware that neither Mr. Gross nor the Manager have any experience operating or managing a real estate fund like that which is contemplated by the Company.

An investment in the Interests is highly illiquid. You may never be able to sell or otherwise dispose of your Interests.

Since there is no public trading market for our Interests, you may never be able to liquidate your investment or otherwise dispose of your Interests. The Company intends to operate for a period of ten (10) years. Therefore, you should expect to keep your investment in Class A Interests for a period of at least ten (10) years. Potential investors should note that the Operating Agreement does not compel the Manager to sell all the properties by year ten, and thus, there is a risk that an investor may remain in the Company indefinitely, although that is not the intention of the Manager as stated herein.

Risks Related to the Real Estate Business in General

The profitability of attempted acquisitions is uncertain.

We intend to acquire assets selectively. Acquisition of assets entails risks that investments will fail to perform in accordance with expectations. In undertaking these acquisitions, we will incur certain risks, including the expenditure of funds on, and the devotion of management’s time to, transactions that may not come to fruition. Additional risks inherent in acquisitions include risks that the properties will not achieve anticipated sales price, rents, or occupancy levels and that estimated operating expenses and costs of improvements to bring an acquired property up to standards established for the market position intended for that property may prove inaccurate.

Rising expenses could reduce cash flow and funds available for future acquisitions.

Our properties will be subject to increases in real estate tax rates, utility costs, operating expenses, insurance costs, repairs and maintenance, administrative and other expenses. If we are unable to increase rents at an equal or higher rate or lease properties on a basis requiring the tenants to pay all or some of the expenses, we would be required to pay those costs, which could adversely affect funds available for future cash distributions.

If we purchase assets at a time when the multifamily or commercial real estate market is experiencing substantial influxes of capital investment and competition for properties, the real estate we purchase may not appreciate or may decrease in value.

The real estate markets are currently experiencing a substantial influx of capital from investors worldwide. This substantial flow of capital, combined with significant competition for real estate and the strength in the economy, may result in inflated purchase prices for such assets. To the extent we purchase real estate in such an environment, we are subject to the risk that if the real estate market ceases to attract the same level of capital investment in the future as it is currently attracting, or if the number of companies seeking to acquire such assets decreases, our returns will be lower, and the value of our assets may not appreciate or may decrease significantly below the amount we paid for such assets.

A commercial property’s income and value may be adversely affected by national and regional economic conditions, local real estate conditions such as an oversupply of properties or a reduction in demand for properties, availability of “for sale” properties, competition from other similar properties, our ability to provide adequate maintenance, insurance and management services, increased operating costs (including real estate taxes), the attractiveness and location of the property and changes in market rental rates. Our income will be adversely affected if a significant number of tenants are unable to pay rent or if our properties cannot be rented on favorable terms. Our performance is linked to economic conditions in the regions where our properties will be located and in the market for multifamily space generally. Therefore, to the extent that there are adverse economic conditions in those regions, and in these markets generally, that impact the applicable market rents, such conditions could result in a reduction of our income and cash available for distributions and thus affect the amount of distributions we can make to you.

The outbreak of COVID-19 has created uncertain risks and circumstances.

The United States and many parts of the world are currently under mandated or suggested “stay-in-place” orders in an attempt to contain the COVID-19 virus pandemic. Due to these orders and urges of social distancing, many businesses have been forced to temporarily close until the virus is contained. To this end, it is unclear of the potential risks to our business as a result of these orders and closures. It is uncertain what the economic results will be. It is expected that both employment and the real estate market will be adversely affected. Due to these unknown risks, investing in the Company is incredibly risky at this time.

We will depend on commercial real estate tenants for our revenue and therefore our revenue may depend on the economic viability of our tenants.

We will be highly dependent on income from tenants. Our financial results will depend in part on leasing space in the properties or the full properties we acquire to tenants on economically favorable terms.

In the event of a tenant default prior to stabilization, we may experience delays in enforcing our rights as landlord and may incur substantial costs in protecting our investment and re-letting our property. A default, of a substantial tenant or number of tenants at any one time, on lease payments to us would cause us to lose the revenue associated with such lease(s) and cause us to have to find an alternative source of revenue to meet mortgage payments and prevent a foreclosure if the property is subject to a mortgage. Therefore, substantial lease payment defaults by tenant(s) could cause us to lose our investment or reduce the amount of distributions to Members.

Competition and any increased affordability of single-family homes could limit our ability to lease our apartments or maintain or increase rents, which may materially and adversely affect us, including our financial condition, cash flows, results of operations and growth prospects.

The multifamily industry is highly competitive, and we face competition from many sources, including from other multifamily apartment communities both in the immediate vicinity and the geographic market where our properties are and will be located. If so, this would increase the number of apartments units available and may decrease occupancy and unit rental rates. Furthermore, multifamily apartment communities we acquired compete, or will compete, with numerous housing alternatives in attracting residents, including owner occupied single and multifamily homes available to rent or purchase. The number of competitive properties and/or condominiums in a particular area, or any increased affordability of owner occupied single and multifamily homes caused by declining housing prices, mortgage interest rates and government programs to promote home ownership, could adversely affect our ability to retain our residents, lease apartment units and maintain or increase rental rates. These factors could materially and adversely affect us.

We may not make a profit if we sell a property.

The prices that we can obtain when we determine to sell a property will depend on many factors that are presently unknown, including the operating history, tax treatment of real estate investments, demographic trends in the area and available financing. There is a risk that we will not realize any significant appreciation on our investment in a property. Accordingly, your ability to recover all or any portion of your investment under such circumstances will depend on the amount of funds so realized and claims to be satisfied therefrom.

Our properties may not be diversified.

Our potential profitability and our ability to diversify our investments may be limited, both geographically and by type of properties purchased. We will be able to purchase additional properties only as additional funds are raised. Given the limited number of assets we are targeting, our properties will not be well diversified, and their economic performance could be affected by changes in local economic conditions or changes uniquely affecting one or more particular asset classes.

Our performance is therefore linked to economic conditions in the regions in which we will acquire properties and in the market for real estate properties generally. Therefore, to the extent that there are adverse economic conditions in the regions in which our properties are located and in the market for real estate properties, such conditions could result in a reduction of our income and cash to return capital and thus affect the amount of distributions we can make to you.

Competition with third parties in acquiring and operating properties may reduce our profitability and the return on your investment.

We compete with many other entities engaged in real estate investment activities, many of which have greater resources than we do. Specifically, there are numerous commercial developers, real estate companies, foreign investors and investment funds that operate in the markets in which we may operate, that will compete with us in acquiring residential, commercial, and other properties that will be seeking investments and tenants for these properties.

Many of these entities have significant financial and other resources, including operating experience, allowing them to compete effectively with us. Competitors with substantially greater financial resources than us may generally be able to accept more risk than we can prudently manage, including risks with respect to the creditworthiness of entities in which investments may be made or risks attendant to a geographic concentration of investments. Demand from third parties for properties that meet our investment objectives could result in an increase of the price of such properties. If we pay higher prices for properties, our profitability may be reduced, and you may experience a lower return on your investment. In addition, our properties may be located in close proximity to other properties that will compete against our properties for tenants. Many of these competing properties may be better located and/or appointed than the properties that we will acquire, giving these properties a competitive advantage over our properties, and we may, in the future, face additional competition from properties not yet constructed or even planned. This competition could adversely affect our business. The number of competitive properties could have a material effect on our ability to rent space at our properties and the amount of rents charged. We could be adversely affected if additional competitive properties are built in locations competitive with our properties, causing increased competition for residential renters. In addition, our ability to charge premium rental rates to tenants may be negatively impacted. This increased competition may increase our costs of acquisitions or lower the occupancies and the rent we may charge tenants. This could result in decreased cash flow from tenants and may require us to make capital improvements to properties which we would not have otherwise made, thus affecting cash available for distributions to you.

We may not have control over costs arising from rehabilitation or ground up construction of properties.

We may elect to acquire properties which may require rehabilitation or even be from the “ground up,” meaning that we purchase the land and implement a plan to construct a residential or commercial building on the land. In particular, we may acquire affordable properties that we will rehabilitate and convert to market rate properties. We may also purchase land, entitle the land for a multifamily building, single family residence or commercial building (if that is not already provided), architect a residential or commercial building and build a brand-new multifamily building, single family residence, or commercial building. Consequently, we intend to retain independent general contractors to perform the actual physical rehabilitation and/or construction work and will be subject to risks in connection with a contractor’s ability to control rehabilitation and/or construction costs, the timing of completion of rehabilitation and/or construction, and a contractor’s ability to build in conformity with plans and specification.

Inventory or available properties might not be sufficient to realize our investment goals.

We may not be successful in identifying suitable real estate properties or other assets that meet our acquisition criteria, or consummating acquisitions or investments on satisfactory terms. Failures in identifying or consummating acquisitions would impair the pursuit of our business plan. Moreover, our acquisition strategy could involve significant risks that could inhibit our growth and negatively impact our operating results, including the following: increases in asking prices by acquisition candidates to levels beyond our financial capability or to levels that would not result in the returns required by our acquisition criteria; diversion of management’s attention to expansion efforts; unanticipated costs and contingent or undisclosed liabilities associated with acquisitions; failure of acquired businesses to achieve expected results; and difficulties entering markets in which we have no or limited experience.

The consideration paid for our target acquisition may exceed fair market value, which may harm our financial condition and operating results.

The consideration that we pay will be based upon numerous factors, and the target acquisition may be purchased in a negotiated transaction rather than through a competitive bidding process. We cannot assure anyone that the purchase price that we pay for a target acquisition or its appraised value will be a fair price, that we will be able to generate an acceptable return on such target acquisition, or that the location, lease terms or other relevant economic and financial data of any properties that we acquire will meet acceptable risk profiles. We may also be unable to lease vacant space or renegotiate existing leases at market rates, which would adversely affect our returns on a target acquisition. As a result, our investments in our target acquisition may fail to perform in accordance with our expectations, which may substantially harm our operating results and financial condition.

The failure of our properties to generate positive cash flow or to sufficiently appreciate in value would most likely preclude our Members from realizing an attractive return on their Interest ownership.

There is no assurance that our real estate investments will appreciate in value or will ever be sold at a profit. The marketability and value of the properties will depend upon many factors beyond the control of our management. There is no assurance that there will be a ready market for the properties, since investments in real property are generally non-liquid. The real estate market is affected by many factors, such as general economic conditions, availability of financing, interest rates and other factors, including supply and demand, that are beyond our control. We cannot predict whether we will be able to sell any property for the price or on the terms set by it, or whether any price or other terms offered by a prospective purchaser would be acceptable to us. We also cannot predict the length of time needed to find a willing purchaser and to close the sale of a property. Moreover, we may be required to expend funds to correct defects or to make improvements before a property can be sold. We cannot assure any person that we will have funds available to correct those defects or to make those improvements. In acquiring a property, we may agree to lockout provisions that materially restrict us from selling that property for a period of time or impose other restrictions, such as a limitation on the amount of debt that can be placed or repaid on that property. These lockout provisions would restrict our ability to sell a property. These factors and any others that would impede our ability to respond to adverse changes in the performance of our properties could significantly harm our financial condition and operating results.

Illiquidity of real estate investments could significantly impede our ability to respond to adverse changes in the performance of our properties and harm our financial condition.

Because real estate investments are relatively illiquid, our ability to promptly sell one or more properties or investments in our portfolio in response to changing economic, financial and investment conditions may be limited. In particular, these risks could arise from weakness in or even the lack of an established market for a property, changes in the financial condition or prospects of prospective purchasers, changes in national or international economic conditions, and changes in laws, regulations or fiscal policies of jurisdictions in which the property is located. We may be unable to realize our investment objectives by sale, other disposition or refinance at attractive prices within any given period of time or may otherwise be unable to complete any exit strategy. An exit event is not guaranteed and is subject to the Manager’s discretion.

Risks Specific to Hotel Properties

We plan to invest in the select service hotels segment of the lodging market which is highly competitive.

The select service segment of the hotel business is highly competitive. Our hotel properties will most likely compete on the basis of location, room rates, quality, service levels, reputation and franchise, among many factors. There are many competitors in the select service segment, and many of these competitors may have substantially greater marketing and financial resources than we have. This competition could reduce occupancy levels and room revenue at our hotels. Over-building in the lodging industry may increase the number of rooms available and may decrease occupancy and room rates. In addition, in periods of weak demand, as may occur during a general economic recession, profitability is negatively affected by the relatively high fixed costs of operating hotels.

Our returns could be negatively impacted if we hire third-party management companies and those management companies do not manage our hotel properties effectively.

We currently do not own any hotels and thus, we do not have any management agreements in place. We may hire third-party managers to manage our hotels while we are attempting to dispose of or renovate the properties. Our cash flow from the hotels may be adversely affected if our managers fail to provide quality services and amenities or if they or their affiliates fail to maintain a quality brand name. In addition, our managers or their affiliates may manage, and in some cases may own, invest in or provide credit support or operating guarantees to hotels that compete with our hotel properties, which may result in conflicts of interest and decisions regarding the operation of our hotels that are not in our best interests.

We generally will attempt to resolve issues with our managers through discussions and negotiations. However, if we are unable to reach satisfactory results through discussions and negotiations, we may choose to litigate the dispute or submit the matter to third-party dispute resolution.

Additionally, in the event that we need to replace any management company, we may be required by the terms of the management contract to pay substantial termination fees and may experience significant disruptions at the affected hotels.

Restrictive covenants in our management contracts could preclude us from taking actions with respect to the sale or refinancing of a hotel property that would otherwise be in our best interest.

We may enter into management contracts that contain some restrictive covenants or acquire properties subject to existing management contracts that do not allow the flexibility we seek, including management contracts that restrict our ability to terminate the contract or require us to pay large termination fees. Any such management contract may preclude us from taking actions that would otherwise be in our best interest or could cause us to incur substantial expense.

We may acquire hotels that may be operated under franchise agreements are subject to risks arising from adverse developments with respect to the franchise brand and to costs associated with maintaining the franchise license.

We expect that we may purchase hotel properties that will operate under franchise agreements and we anticipate that some of the hotels we acquire in the future will operate under franchise agreements. We are therefore subject to the risks associated with concentrating hotel investments in several franchise brands, including reductions in business following negative publicity related to one of the brands or the general decline of a brand.

The maintenance of the franchise licenses for branded hotel properties are subject to the franchisors’ operating standards and other terms and conditions. Franchisors periodically inspect hotel properties to ensure that we and our management companies follow their standards. Failure by us or one of our third-party management companies to maintain these standards or other terms and conditions could result in a franchise license being canceled. If a franchise license is cancelled due to our failure to make required improvements or to otherwise comply with its terms, we also may be liable to the franchisor for a termination payment, which varies by franchisor and by hotel property. As a condition of maintaining a franchise license, a franchisor could require us to make capital expenditures, even if we do not believe the capital improvements are necessary or desirable or will result in an acceptable return on our investment. We may risk losing a franchise license if we do not make franchisor-required capital expenditures.

If a franchisor terminates the franchise license or the license expires, we may try either to obtain a suitable replacement franchise or to operate the hotel without a franchise license. The loss of a franchise license could materially and adversely affect the operations and the underlying value of the hotel property because of the loss of associated name recognition, marketing support and centralized reservation system provided by the franchisor and adversely affect our revenues. This loss of revenue could in turn adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, the market price of our common shares and our ability to make distributions to our Members.

Risks Related to Financing

We might obtain lines of credit and other borrowings, which increases our risk of loss due to potential foreclosure.

We may obtain lines of credit and long-term financing that may be secured by our assets. As with any liability, there is a risk that we may be unable to repay our obligations from the cash flow of our assets. Therefore, when borrowing and securing such borrowing with our assets, we risk losing such assets in the event we are unable to repay such obligations or meet such demands.

We have broad authority to incur debt and high debt levels could hinder our ability to make distributions and decrease the value of our investors’ investments.

Our policies do not limit us from incurring debt until our total liabilities would be at 80% of the value of the assets of the Company. Although we intend to borrow typically no more than 70% of a property’s value, we may borrow as much as 80% of the value of our properties. We do not currently own any properties. High debt levels would cause us to incur higher interest charges and higher debt service payments and may also be accompanied by restrictive covenants. These factors could limit the amount of cash we have available to distribute and could result in a decline in the value of our investors’ investments.

Risks Related to Conflicts of Interest

There are conflicts of interest between us, our Manager and its affiliates.

We expect that a third-party will provide asset management and other services to our Manager and the Company. This third-party may or may not be related to the Manager. Prevailing market rates are determined based on industry standards and expectations of what the Manager would be able to negotiate with a third-party on an arm’s length basis. All of the agreements and arrangements between such parties, including those relating to compensation, are not the result of arm’s length negotiations. Some of the conflicts inherent in our Company’s transactions with the Manager and its affiliates, and the limitations on such parties adopted to address these conflicts, are described below. Our Company, Manager and its affiliates will try to balance our interests with their own. However, to the extent that such parties take actions that are more favorable to other entities than the Company, these actions could have negative impact on our financial performance and, consequently, on distributions to Members and the value of our Interests. See “Conflicts of Interest”.

The interests of the Manager, our principals and their other affiliates may conflict with your interests.

The operating agreement provides our Manager with broad powers and authority which may result in one or more conflicts of interest between your interests and those of the Manager, the principals and its other affiliates. Potential conflicts of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

Risks Associated with Joint Ventures/Co-Investors/Parallel Funds

The terms of joint venture agreements or other joint ownership/co-investor arrangements, including, without limitation, Parallel Funds into which the Manager may enter could impair operating flexibility and results of operations.

In connection with the purchase of real estate or making real estate-related investments, the Manager may enter into joint ventures with affiliated or unaffiliated partners including, without limitation, Parallel Funds. In addition, the Company may also purchase or develop properties in arrangements with affiliates of the Manager, the sellers of the properties, developers and/or similar persons. These structures involve participation in the investment by outsiders whose interests and rights may not be the same as the Company’s, in fact, they will likely have preference in distributions and/or superior economic rights in project companies, which will have an indirect, adverse and dilutive impact on your Interest. These joint venture partners or co-tenants may also have rights to take some actions over which the Manager has no control and may take actions contrary to the interests of the Company. For example, joint ownership of an investment, under certain circumstances, may involve risks not associated with direct ownership of such investment, including the following:

If the Company has a right of first refusal or buy/sell right to buy out a co-investor/venturer or partner, we may be unable to finance such a buy-out if it becomes exercisable or we may be forced to exercise those rights at a time when it would not otherwise be in our best interest to do so. If the Company’s interest is subject to a buy/sell right, we may not have sufficient cash, available borrowing capacity or other capital resources to allow the purchase of such an interest of a co-investor/venturer subject to the buy/sell right, in which case we may be forced to sell the interest when otherwise we would have preferred to retain such interest. The Manager may not be able to sell a Company’s interest in a joint venture on a timely basis or on acceptable terms if an exit from the venture is desired for any reason, particularly if the interest is subject to a right of first refusal of the co-investor/venturer or partner.

The Manager may structure or enter a joint venture/co-invest/Parallel Fund relationship in a manner which could limit the amount the Company participates in the cash flow or appreciation of an investment.

The Manager may enter into joint venture agreements, the economic terms of which may provide for the distribution of income to the Company otherwise than in direct proportion to ownership interest in the joint venture. For example, while a co-investor/venturer/Parallel Fund may invest an equal amount of capital in an investment, the investment may be structured such that the Company has a right to priority distributions of cash flow up to a certain target return while the co- investor/venturer may receive a disproportionately greater share of cash flow than the Company is to receive once such target return has been achieved. This type of investment structure may result in the co-investor/venture/Parallel Fund receiving more of the cash flow, including appreciation, of an investment than the Company would receive. If the Manager does not accurately judge the appreciation prospects of a particular investment or structure the agreement appropriately, the Company may incur losses on joint venture/co-invest investments and/or have limited participation in the profits of a joint venture/co-invest investment, either of which could reduce the ability to make cash distributions to the Members.

Co-investments with other parties will result in additional risks.

The Company may co-invest in various investments with other investors obtained by an affiliate of the Manager. It is possible that a co-investor would be unable to pay its share of costs, which could be detrimental to the Company’s investment in a project unless an alternative source of capital could be obtained. In the event a third-party co-investor was to become bankrupt, third party creditors could become involved in the project affairs. In addition, the co-investors could have economic or business interests or goals which are or which may become inconsistent with the Company’s business interests or goals.

If the Manager enters into joint ventures with affiliates, the Company may face conflicts of interest or disagreements with the joint venture partners that will not be resolved as quickly or on terms as advantageous to the Company as would be the case if the joint venture had been negotiated at arm’s-length with an independent joint venture partner. As a result, Member returns may be decreased by entering into such joint ventures with affiliates of the Manager.

In the event that the Company enters into a joint venture with any other program sponsored or advised by the Manager or one of its affiliates, the Company may face certain additional risks and potential conflicts of interest. Joint venture partners may not desire to sell properties at the time the Company desires. Joint ventures between the Company and other Manager programs will not have the benefit of arm’s-length negotiation of the type normally conducted between unrelated co-venturers. Under these joint venture agreements, none of the co-venturers may have the power to control the venture, and an impasse could be reached regarding matters pertaining to the joint venture, including the timing of a liquidation, which might have a negative impact on the joint venture and decrease returns to the Members. Joint ventures with other Manager programs would also be subject to the risks associated with joint ventures with unaffiliated third parties.

Risks Related to Our Capital Structure

Our Manager has the power to issue additional Membership Interests in the Company without the Consent of Any Class A Member Which May Have a Dilutive Impact on Your Percentage Interest By Up To 20%

The Operating Agreement allows for the Manager to (a) issue new classes of equity having rights and preferences determined by the Manager in its sole discretion and (b) allow the Class B Members (or their members or Affiliates) to sell, grant, transfer, or convey a minority of the Class B Interests to others without permission of the Class A Members, as long as doing so (in either case above) does not: (i) dilute the Class A Percentage by more than 20%, or (ii) allow any other Member to exert management control over the Manager. If the Manager decides to issue additional equity as per the above to the greatest amount allowable, then then each Investor’s Percentage Interest would be diluted by 20%, and the entire Class A Percentage Interest would be diluted from 80% to 64%. Such a decrease in your Percentage Interest would decrease the amount of distributable cash to which you would be entitled for each distribution by up to 20%. Lastly, from a non-economic perspective, the Manager may also issue additional equity to third persons that have non-economic rights which are superior to those of the Class A Members such as rights of preemption, additional informational rights, board positions, redemption rights, and co-investment rights. The Company does not currently have any binding arrangements for the sale of any other equity to any other person at this time, however the Manager may engage in such arrangements at any time.

Our Manager and Its Affiliates has the Right to Purchase Class A Interests in this Offering, Which Could Cause the Manager to Exert Additional Influence on Decisions Related to the Company

The Manager or its Affiliates has the ability to purchase Class A Interests in this offering which would cause the Manager’s overall Percentage Interest to increase above 20%, which may increase the ability of the Manger to influence voting of the Members (for example, decisions requiring approval of 75% of Interests of all Members and decisions requiring approval of a majority of Interests of all Members).

We do not set aside funds in a sinking fund to pay distributions, so you must rely on our revenues from operations and other sources of funding for distributions. These sources may not be sufficient to meet these obligations.

We do not contribute funds on a regular basis to a separate account, commonly known as a sinking fund, to pay distributions on the Interests. Accordingly, you will have to rely on our cash from operations and other sources of liquidity, such as borrowed funds and proceeds from sale of the assets, for distribution payments. Our ability to generate revenues from operations in the future is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, statutory and other factors that are beyond our control. Moreover, we cannot assure you that we will have access to additional sources of liquidity if our cash from operations are not sufficient to fund distributions to you. Our need for such additional sources may come at undesirable times, such as during poor market or credit conditions when the costs of funds are high and/or other terms are not as favorable as they would be during good market or credit conditions. The cost of financing will directly impact our results of operations, and financing on less than favorable terms may hinder our ability to make a profit. Your right to receive distributions on your Interests is junior to the right of our general creditors to receive payments from us. If we do not have sufficient funds to meet our anticipated future operating expenditures and debt repayment obligations as they become due, then you could lose all or part of your investment. We currently do not have any revenues.

You will have limited control over changes in our policies and operations, which increases the uncertainty and risks you face as a Member.

Our Manager determines our major policies, including our policies regarding financing, growth and debt capitalization within the Business Purpose of the Company. Our Manager may amend or revise these and other policies without a vote of the Members. Our Manager’s broad discretion in setting such policies and our Members’ inability to exert control over those policies increases the uncertainty and risks you face as a Member. In addition, our Manager may change our investment objectives without seeking Member approval, insofar as such objectives are within the Business Purpose of the Company.

Our ability to make distributions to our Members is subject to fluctuations in our financial performance, operating results and capital improvement requirements.

Class A Members would receive 80% of the Distributable Cash as defined in, and subject to the limited dilution pursuant to the terms of, the Company’s Operating Agreement. (See “SUMMARY OF OPERATING AGREEMENT” and the terms of the Operating Agreement itself). In the event of downturns in our operating results, unanticipated capital improvements to our properties, or other factors, we may be unable, or may decide not to pay distributions to our Members. The timing and amount of distributions are the sole discretion of our Manager who will consider, among other factors, our financial performance, any debt service obligations, any debt covenants, and capital expenditure requirements. We cannot assure you that we will generate sufficient cash in order to pay distributions.

Investors will not receive the benefit of the regulations provided to real estate investment trusts or investment companies.

We are not a real estate investment trust and enjoy a broader range of permissible activities. Under the Investment Company Act of 1940, an “investment company” is defined as an issuer which is or holds itself out as being engaged primarily, or proposes to engage primarily, in the business of investing, reinvesting, or trading in securities; is engaged or proposes to engage in the business of issuing face-amount certificates of the installment type, or has been engaged in such business and has any such certificate outstanding; or is engaged or proposes to engage in the business of investing, reinvesting, owning, holding, or trading in securities, and owns or proposes to acquire investment securities having a value exceeding 40 per centum of the value of such issuer’s total assets (exclusive of Government securities and cash items) on an unconsolidated basis.

We intend to operate in such manner as not to be classified as an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940 as we intend on primarily holding real estate. The management and the investment practices and policies of ours are not supervised or regulated by any federal or state authority. As a result, investors will be exposed to certain risks that would not be present if we were subjected to a more restrictive regulatory situation.

If we are deemed to be an investment company, we may be required to institute burdensome compliance requirements and our activities may be restricted

If we are ever deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, we may be subject to certain restrictions including:

In addition, we may have imposed upon us certain burdensome requirements, including:

The exemption from the Investment Company Act of 1940 may restrict our operating flexibility. Failure to maintain this exemption may adversely affect our profitability.

We do not believe that at any time we will be deemed an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as we do not intend on trading or selling securities. Rather, we intend to hold and manage real estate. However, if at any time we may be deemed an “investment company,” we believe we will be afforded an exemption under Section 3(c)(5)(C) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (referred to in this Offering as the “1940 Act”). Section 3(c)(5)(C) of the 1940 Act excludes from regulation as an “investment company” any entity that is primarily engaged in the business of purchasing or otherwise acquiring “mortgages and other liens on and interests in real estate”. To qualify for this exemption, we must ensure our asset composition meets certain criteria. Maintaining this exemption may adversely impact our ability to acquire or hold investments, to engage in future business activities that we believe could be profitable, or could require us to dispose of investments that we might prefer to retain. If we are required to register as an “investment company” under the 1940 Act, then the additional expenses and operational requirements associated with such registration may materially and adversely impact our financial condition and results of operations in future periods.

NOTICE REGARDING AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE

THE COMPANY’S OPERATING AGREEMENT REQUIRES THAT ALL INVESTORS ARBITRATE ANY DISPUTE, OTHER THAN THOSE CLAIMS UNDER FEDERAL SECURITIES LAWS AND THE RULES AND REGULATIONS PROMULGATED THEREUNDER, ARISING OUT OF THEIR INVESTMENT IN THE COMPANY. ALL INVESTORS FURTHER AGREE THAT THE ARBITRATION WILL BE BINDING AND HELD IN THE STATE OF DELAWARE. EACH INVESTOR ALSO AGREES TO WAIVE ANY RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL. OUT OF STATE ARBITRATION MAY FORCE AN INVESTOR TO ACCEPT A LESS FAVORABLE SETTLEMENT FOR DISPUTES. OUT OF STATE ARBITRATION MAY ALSO COST AN INVESTOR MORE TO ARBITRATE A SETTLEMENT OF A DISPUTE.

ADDITIONAL RISK FACTOR ARBITRATION:

The Operating Agreement contains a mandatory dispute resolution process which may limit the rights of investors to some legal remedies and forums otherwise available. This Agreement contains a provision which requires that all claims arising from Member’s investment in the Company be resolved through arbitration.

For Members’ information:

The dispute resolution process provisions do not apply to claims under the federal securities laws. By agreeing to the dispute resolution process, including mandatory arbitration, Investors will not be deemed to have waived the Company’s compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.

Insurance Risks

We may suffer significant losses that are not covered by insurance.

The geographic areas in which we invest in properties may be at risk for damage to property due to certain weather- related and environmental events, including such things as severe thunderstorms, flooding, sinkholes, and hurricanes. To the extent possible, the Manager may but is not required to attempt to acquire insurance against some of these risks. However, such insurance may not be available (or may only be available at cost-prohibitive costs) in all areas, nor are all hazards insurable as some may be deemed acts of God or be subject to other policy exclusions.

Furthermore, an insurance company may deny coverage for certain claims, and/or determine that the value of the claim is less than the cost to restore the property, and a lawsuit could have to be initiated to force them to provide coverage, resulting in further losses in income to the Company. Additionally, properties may now contain or come to contain mold, which may not be covered by insurance and has been linked to health issues.

Federal Income Tax Risks

The Internal Revenue Service may challenge our characterization of material tax aspects of your investment in the Interests.

An investment in Interests involves material income tax risks which are discussed in detail in the section of this offering entitled “TAX TREATMENT OF COMPANY AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES” starting on page 39. You are urged to consult with your own tax advisor with respect to the federal, state, local and foreign tax considerations of an investment in our Interests. We may or may not seek any rulings from the Internal Revenue Service regarding any of the tax issues discussed herein. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that the tax conclusions discussed in this offering, if contested, would be sustained by the IRS or any court. In addition, our legal counsel is unable to form an opinion as to the probable outcome of the contest of certain material tax aspects of the transactions described in this offering, including whether we will be characterized as a “dealer” so that sales of our assets would give rise to ordinary income rather than capital gain. Our counsel also gives no opinion as to the tax considerations to you of tax issues that have an impact at the individual or partner level.

You may realize taxable income without cash distributions, and you may have to use funds from other sources to fund tax liabilities.

As a Member of the Company, you will be required to report your allocable share of the Company’s taxable income on your personal income tax return regardless of whether you have received any cash distributions from us. It is possible that your Interests will be allocated taxable income in excess of your cash distributions. We cannot assure you that cash flow will be available for distribution in any year. As a result, you may have to use funds from other sources to pay your tax liability.

You may not be able to benefit from any tax losses that are allocated to your Interests.

Interests may be allocated their share of tax losses should any arise. Section 469 of the Internal Revenue Code limits the allowance of deductions for losses attributable to passive activities, which are defined generally as activities in which the taxpayer does not materially participate. Any tax losses allocated to investors will be characterized as passive losses, and, accordingly, the deductibility of such losses will be subject to these limitations. Losses from passive activities are generally deductible only to the extent of a taxpayer’s income or gains from passive activities and will not be allowed as an offset against other income, including salary or other compensation for personal services, active business income or “portfolio income”, which includes non-business income derived from dividends, interest, royalties, annuities and gains from the sale of property held for investment. Accordingly, you may receive no benefit from your share of tax losses unless you are concurrently being allocated passive income from other sources.

We may be audited which could subject you to additional tax, interest and penalties.

Our federal income tax returns may be audited by the Internal Revenue Service. Any audit of the Company could result in an audit of your tax return. The results of any such audit may require adjustments of items unrelated to your investment, in addition to adjustments to various Company items. In the event of any such audit or adjustments, you might incur attorneys’ fees, court costs and other expenses in contesting deficiencies asserted by the Internal Revenue Service. You may also be liable for interest on any underpayment and penalties from the date your tax was originally due. The tax treatment of all Company items will generally be determined at the Company level in a single proceeding rather than in separate proceedings with each Member, and our Manager is primarily responsible for contesting federal income tax adjustments proposed by the Internal Revenue Service. In such a contest, our Manger may choose to extend the statute of limitations as to all Members and, in certain circumstances, may bind the Members to a settlement with the Internal Revenue Service. Adjustments to Company items would continue to be determined at the Company level however, and any such adjustments would be accounted for in the year they take effect, rather than in the year to which such adjustments relate. Our Manager will have the discretion in such circumstances either to pass along any such adjustments to the Members or to bear such adjustments at the Company level.

State and local taxes and a requirement to withhold state taxes may apply, and if so, the amount of net cash from open payable to you would be reduced.

The state in which you reside may impose an income tax upon your share of our taxable income. Further, states in which we will own properties may impose income taxes upon your share of our taxable income allocable to any Company property located in that state. Many states have implemented or are implementing programs to require companies to withhold and pay state income taxes owed by non-resident Members relating to income-producing properties located in their states, and we may be required to withhold state taxes from cash distributions otherwise payable to you. You may also be required to file income tax returns in some states and report your share of income attributable to ownership and operation by the Company of properties in those states. In the event we are required to withhold state taxes from your cash distributions, the amount of the net cash from operations otherwise payable to you would be reduced. In addition, such collection and filing requirements at the state level may result in increases in our administrative expenses that would have the effect of reducing cash available for distribution to you. You are urged to consult with your own tax advisors with respect to the impact of applicable state and local taxes and state tax withholding requirements on an investment in our Interests.

Legislative or regulatory action could adversely affect investors.

In recent years, numerous legislative, judicial and administrative changes have been made in the provisions of the federal income tax laws applicable to investments similar to an investment in our Interests. Additional changes to the tax laws are likely to continue to occur, and we cannot assure you that any such changes will not adversely affect your taxation as a Member. Any such changes could have an adverse effect on an investment in our Interests or on the market value or the resale potential of our properties. You are urged to consult with your own tax advisor with respect to the impact of recent legislation on your investment in Interests and the status of legislative, regulatory or administrative developments and proposals and their potential effect on an investment in our Interests.

DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE

Our Offering Price is arbitrary with no relation to value of the Company. The Interests will be offered by the Company in most states and by a broker-dealer in seven (7) states that require a broker-dealer.

If the maximum amount of Class A Interests are sold under this Offering, the purchasers under this Offering will own 100% of the Class A Interests outstanding.

If the minimum amount of Class A Interests are sold under this Offering, the purchasers under this Offering will own 100% of the Class A Interests outstanding.

If some amount of Class A Interests are sold under this Offering, between the above maximum and minimum amount of this Offering, the purchasers under this Offering will own 100% of the Class A Interests.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

This Offering shall remain open for one year following the Qualification Date of this Offering unless earlier terminated by the Manager in its sole and absolute discretion, provided that the Manager may extend the Offering an additional twelve month period so long as it is compliant with the qualification requirements of the Commission.

The Offering of Class A Interests are being offered by the Company in most states and by a broker-dealer in the seven (7) states which require a broker-dealer. See below for additional information. No compensation will be paid to any principal, the Manager, or any affiliated company or party with respect to the sale of the Class A Interests. This means that no compensation will be paid with respect to the sale of the Class A Interests to Mr. Gross or affiliates. We are relying on Rule 3a4-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, Associated Persons of an Issuer Deemed not to be brokers. The applicable portions of the rule state that associated persons (including companies) of an issuer shall not be deemed brokers if they a) perform substantial duties at the end of the offering for the issuer; b) are not broker dealers; and c) do not participate in selling securities more than once every 12 months, except for any of the following activities: i) preparing written communication, but no oral solicitation; or ii) responding to inquiries provided that the content is contained in the applicable registration statement; or iii) performing clerical work in effecting any transaction. Neither the Company, its Manager, nor any affiliates conduct any activities that fall outside of Rule 3a4-1 and are therefore not brokers nor are they dealers.

The Company has entered into an escrow agreement with North Capital for escrow services. All subscription funds which are accepted will be deposited directly into the escrow account, which shall not bear interest. Subscription funds placed in the escrow account may only be released if the Minimum Offering Amount is raised within the Offering Period. The purchase price for the Class A Interests is $1,000 per Interest, with a minimum purchase of one (1) Interest. The Company shall raise a Minimum Offering Amount of $1,000,000 prior to funds being released to the Company. If the Company does not raise the Minimum Offering Amount within the Offering Period, all proceeds raised to that point will be promptly returned to subscribers of Class A Interests, without interest, if any. Subscription Agreements are irrevocable.

The Company plans use the Own Our Own Manager, LLC’s current network of real estate investors to solicit investments as well as various forms of advertisement. The Company, subject to Rule 255 of the Securities Act of 1933 and corresponding state regulations, is permitted to generally solicit investors by using advertising mediums, such as print, radio, TV, and the Internet. We will offer the securities as permitted by Rule 251 (d)(1)(iii) whereby offers may be made after this Offering has been qualified, but any written offers must be accompanied with or preceded by the most recent offering circular filed with the Commission for the Offering. The Company plans to solicit investors using the Internet through a variety of existing internet advertising mechanisms, such as search based advertising, search engine optimization, and the Company website at www.ownourown.com. The company will provide offering documents, information on the offering, information on the Company’s progress, allow investors to invest in the Offering, and allow investors to view their account after investing from the Company website.

Please note that the Company will not communicate any information to prospective investors except as may be permitted under applicable securities laws without providing access to the Offering. The Offering may be delivered through the website that is in the process of being developed, through email, or by hard paper copy.

However received or communicated, all of our communications will be Rule 255 compliant and not amount to a free writing prospectus. We will not orally solicit investors and no sales will be made prior to this offering statement being declared qualified and a final Offering is available.

Investments will be processed on a first come, first served basis, up to the Maximum Offering Amount of $75,000,000.

The minimum accepted from any Subscriber is $1,000.

Subscription funds may remain in the escrow agent’s escrow account up until such time of a purchase of real estate asset or the repayment of a note payable to an affiliate of the Manager in which the proceeds were used to purchase a real estate asset or pay the Company’s expenses.

No sale will be made to a prospective investor if the aggregate purchase price payable is more than 10% of the greater of the prospective investor’s annual income or net worth. Different rules apply to accredited investors and non-natural persons.

Periodically, the Manager will report to the Members and will supplement this Offering with material and/or fundamental changes to our operations. We will also provide updated financial statements to all Members and prospective Members.

In compliance with Rule 253(e) of Regulation A, the Manager shall revise this Offering Statement during the course of the Offering whenever information herein has become false or misleading in light of existing circumstances, material developments have occurred, or there has been a fundamental change in the information initially presented. Such updates will not only correct such misleading information but shall also provide update financial statements and shall be filed as an exhibit to the Offering Statement and be requalified under Rule 252.

The Company has entered into a BD Agreement with Dalmore Group, LLC, a broker/dealer registered with the Commission and a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”), that is engaged to perform the following administrative and compliance related functions in connection with this offering, but not for underwriting or placement agent services:

This offering will commence immediately on the qualification of this Offering Circular, as determined by the Commission and continue until all of the offered Shares are sold, which is expected to be one year, or the Offering is terminated in the Company’s sole discretion. The Company may extend the Offering for one additional year by filing a Post-Effective Amendment. Funds received from investors will be counted towards the Offering only if the form of payment clears the banking system and represents immediately available funds held by us prior to the termination of the subscription period, or prior to the termination of the extended subscription period if extended by the Company.

USE OF PROCEEDS

The net proceeds to us from the sale of up to 75,000 Class A Interests offered at an offering price of $1,000 per Interest will vary depending upon the total number of Class A Interests sold. The table below shows the intended net proceeds from this offering, indicating scenarios where we sell various amounts of the Class A Interests. There is no guarantee that we will be successful at selling any of the securities being offered in this Offering. Accordingly, the actual amount of proceeds we will raise in this offering, if any, may differ.

The offering scenarios presented below are for illustrative purposes only and the actual amounts of proceeds, if any, may differ.

__________________     

As of December 31, 2019, the Manager has incurred $55,230 to the Company for offering expenses and the balance will be paid by the Manager regardless of the number of Interests sold. Our Offering expenses are comprised of legal and accounting expenses, Commission and EDGAR filing fees, printing and transfer agent fees. Our Manager will not receive any compensation for their efforts in selling our Class A Interests.

The Manager will pay the offering expenses regardless of the amount of Class A Interests we sell and will only be reimbursed if the Company raises a minimum of $1,000,000. If we sell at least 1,000 Class A Interests, we believe that we will have sufficient funds to continue our filing obligations as a reporting company for the next 12 months. We intend to use the proceeds of this offering in the manner and in order of priority set forth above. We do not intend to use the proceeds to acquire the assets of or finance the acquisition of other businesses. At present, no material changes are contemplated. Should there be any material changes in the projected use of proceeds in connection with this Offering, we will issue an amended Offering reflecting the new uses.

In all instances, after the qualification of this Form 1-A, the Company will need some amount of 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, we may change the use of proceeds because of required changes in our business plan. Investors should understand that we have wide discretion over the use of proceeds. Therefore, management decisions may not be in line with the initial objectives of investors who will have little ability to influence these decisions.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the notes thereto contained elsewhere in this Offering Circular.

Critical Accounting Policies

Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies. We have elected to take advantage of this extended transition period, and thus, our financial statements may not be comparable to those of other reporting companies. Accordingly, until the date we are no longer an “emerging growth company” or affirmatively opt out of the exemption, upon the issuance of a new or revised accounting standard that applies to our financial statements and has a different effective date for public and private companies, we will disclose the date on which adoption is required for non- emerging growth companies and the date on which we will adopt the recently issued accounting standard.

Background Overview

Own Our Own Fund I, LLC was formed in the State of Delaware on November 4, 2019. We have no plans to change our business activities or to combine with another business, and we are not aware of any events or circumstances that might cause our plans to change. The Manager of the Company do not have any plans or arrangements to enter into a change of control, business combination or similar transaction or to change management.

This Company’s planned operations involves the purchase of real estate throughout the United States. The Company intends to focus its investment efforts on those properties that are income producing. It is expected that the Company will focus on multifamily properties, but may also consider real estate assets such as single-family self-storage, warehouse and industrial, office, and retail properties. The Company intends on holding the investments in the properties for approximately ten (10) years. The Company intends on purchasing interests in Special Purpose Entities (SPEs). 

The Company will attempt to achieve an overall Company positive internal rate of return, net of expenses.

The Company will be owned by the Manager and Members and will have a Membership which may include, but is not limited to individuals, individual retirement accounts, entities, trusts, banks and other financial institutions, endowments, and pension funds.

The Company hopes to offer its Members the opportunity to earn 80% of the Company’s realized profits which shall be distributed to the Class A Members in proportion to each Member’s respective Capital Contribution. The Manager, Own Our Own Manager, LLC, will exclusively manage the Company. A third-party, will manage our properties.

We are currently searching for properties and hope to acquire a property soon after raising the Minimum Offering Amount. We expect that we will be finished with the process of qualification by  May 2021. Thereafter, we will aggressively search for properties. We hope that by the summer of 2021, we will have acquired our first property, however, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this is uncertain. Acquisitions will depend highly the availability of properties that meet or investment criteria. As we search for properties, we intend to expend capital in accordance with our Use of Proceeds. If we raise the minimum amount of $1,000,000, we will incur expenses related to the operation of the Company and the continuing expenses related to being a reporting company under the requirements of Tier 2, Regulation A. To finish this Form 1-A, we believe we will need a minimum of $80,000. Depending on how much capital we raise, will depend on how much capital we will need for working capital, marketing expenses and professional fees. Our Manager believes that if we only raise the minimum amount, very little will be needed for working capital. However, the more money is raised, the more resources will be needed to in order to run the Company effectively and thus more working capital will be needed. Our Manager is committed to providing the $100,000 for the completion of this Form 1-A, unless we are able to raise a minimal amount through this Offering. When the Manager provides such capital, it will most likely be in the form of purchasing Interests in the Company. Such terms and conditions have not yet been agreed to.

Results of Operations

For the period ended December 31, 2019 (audited) and the six months ended June 30, 2020 (audited)

We generated no revenues for the period ended December 31, 2019. We do not have any current activities. We have generated expenses of $0 from inception (November 4, 2019) to December 31, 2019. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, we did not generate any revenues and did not recognize any expenses.

Total expenses

From inception (November 4, 2019) to December 31, 2019, we have not generated any expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, we did not generate any expenses.

Assets

We currently have $55,230 in pre-paid organization expenses.

Liabilities

We currently have $26,500 in accounts payable and $630 due to our Manager.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2019 and June 30, 2020, the Company had $100 in cash and total liabilities of $55,230. The Company hopes to raise $75,000,000 in this Offering with a minimum of $1,000,000 in funds raised. If we are successful at raising the minimum amount of this Offering, we believe that such funds will be sufficient to fund our expenses over the next twelve months which we currently estimate to be $100,000 that will be financed by our manager in the event we raise less than $1,000,000. Although we intend on identifying multifamily and commercial properties for acquisition with our proceeds, there is no guarantee that we will acquire any such investments. Acquisition will depend highly on our funding, the availability of those funds, availability of multifamily and commercial properties that meet or investment criteria and the size of such liens to be acquired. Upon the qualification of the Form 1-A, the Company plans to pursue its investment strategy of multifamily and commercial properties acquisition. There can be no assurance of the Company’s ability to do so or that additional capital will be available to the Company. If so, the Company’s investment objective of acquiring multifamily and commercial properties will be adversely affected and the Company may not be able to pursue an acquisition opportunity if it is unable to finance such acquisitions. The Company currently has no agreements, arrangements or understandings with any person to obtain funds through bank loans, lines of credit or any other sources. Since the Company has no such arrangements or plans currently in effect, its inability to raise funds for the above purposes will have a severe negative impact on its ability to remain a viable company.

Related Party Transactions

Since our formation, we have raised capital from our Manager. The Manager has provided cash for Company startup costs of which, $55,230 has already been recorded as of the date of the financial statements of the Company (December 31, 2019.) This was recorded as a related party advance from the Manager. It is expected that the Manager will be reimbursed for these expenses and other expenses to be incurred in connection with this Offering. The Manager will only request reimbursement once the Company has raised more than $1million and will limit such reimbursements to $100,000 should only $1 million be raised. The Manager received Class B Interests, at formation as founder’s interests for no consideration. Of the funds provided by our Manager, $26,500 has been recorded as accounts payable, $630 due to Manager and $28,000 has been recorded as paid in equity in exchange for Class A Interests and $100 in exchange for Class B Interests.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

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

Changes In And Disagreements With Accountants On Accounting And Financial Disclosure

None.

Employees

The Company currently has one manager, a limited liability company that was formed for the purposes of managing the Company. The Manager is comprised of one individual: David Gross.

For more information on our personnel, please see “MANAGER, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, PROMOTERS AND CONTROL PERSONS.” Initially Mr. Gross will coordinate all of our business operations. Own Our Own Manager, LLC has provided the working capital to cover our initial expenses. We plan to use consultants, attorneys, accountants, and other personnel, as necessary. We believe the use of non-salaried personnel allows us to expend our capital resources as a variable cost as opposed to a fixed cost of operations. In other words, if we have insufficient revenues or cash available, we are in a better position to only utilize those services required to generate revenues as opposed to having salaried employees. Any expenses related to the Offering will be charged to the Company. For example, any costs associated with raising capital such as escrow, transfer, marketing, audit, legal, and technology fees will be borne by the Company. However, those costs associated with overall management of the Company and the management and acquisition of the properties shall be borne by the Manager except those capitalized expenses related to specific properties.

Our Manager is spending the time allocated to our business in this priority finding new opportunities, negotiating both the purchase and best financing available. Then managing the properties to maximize cash flow and NOI while always seeking opportunities to capture profits through the sale or refinancing of the assets. Staff is in place to handle the general business affairs of our Company such as legal, tax, and accounting issues, including review of materials presented to our auditors, working with our counsel in preparation of filing our Form 1-A, developing our business plan and researching investment opportunities and possible multifamily property and commercial real estate acquisitions. Upon qualification and successful capital raise, the principal and employees of the Manager will devote additional working hours to Own Our Own Fund I.

INVESTMENT POLICIES OF COMPANY

In all types of investment, our policies may be changed by our Manager without a vote by Members, except that the Manager shall be limited to taking actions within the Business Purpose of the Company.

The Company’s planned operations involves the purchase of real estate throughout the United States. The Company intends to focus its investment efforts on those properties that are income producing. It is expected that the Company will focus on multifamily properties, but may also consider real estate assets such as single family self-storage, warehouse and industrial, office, and retail properties. The Company intends on holding the investments in the properties for seven (7) to ten (10) years. The Company intends on purchasing interests in Special Purpose Entities (SPEs).

We will initially seek out properties primarily in urban communities throughout the United States. Although we will be seeking out properties that provide capital appreciation, we will most likely purchase properties primarily for income and cash flow from rental income. Generally, and when possible, we expect to finance our properties with up to 80% loan to value ratio. Upon stabilization of our long-term properties, we intend to evaluate each property in the following manner:

Further, potential investors should be advised:

As market conditions change, our policies for both investments and borrowing will be evaluated and updated as necessary to safeguard Member equity and increase Member returns. We will update our Members via 1-Us within a few business days, 1-SAs semi-annually, and other Member reports if there are any changes in our investment policy or our borrowing policies.

POLICIES WITH RESPECT TO CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS

Our policy with respect to our Manager concerning certain transactions is as follows:

We do not intend on issuing senior securities, or Membership Interests having economic or non-economic rights that are superior to Class A Interests, but may at some time in the future within the terms of the Operating Agreement. We have no interest, currently, in underwriting securities of others or purchasing securities or assets other than real property assets and securities. We may encumber our properties that we acquire with bank financing but we intend that such financing will generally not exceed 80% of the value of the property.

Conflicts of Interest

Our Manager and its affiliates may experience conflicts of interest in connection with the management of our business. Some of the material conflicts that our Manager and its affiliates face include the following:

Allocation of Investment Opportunities

We rely on our Manager’s members who act on behalf of our Manager to:

In addition, any decisions by our Manager to renew, extend, modify or terminate an agreement or arrangement, or enter into similar agreements or arrangements in the future, may benefit one program more than another or limit or impair the ability of any program to pursue business opportunities. In addition, third parties may require as a condition to their arrangements or agreements with or related to any one particular program that such arrangements or agreements include or not include another program, as the case may be. Any of these decisions may benefit one program more than another.

To date, neither the Manager nor its members has raised capital from outside investors and is not currently raising capital from outside investors for any of their projects. Currently, David Gross, the manager of our Manager, has acquired four (4) properties since 2017 with other insiders and developers.

Receipt of Fees and Other Compensation by our Manager and its Affiliates

Our Manager and its affiliates will receive fees from us, which fees will not be negotiated at arm’s length. These fees could influence our Manager’s advice to us as well as the judgment of affiliates of our Manager. Among other matters, these compensation arrangements could affect their judgment with respect to:

No Independent Underwriter

As we are conducting this offering without the aid of an independent underwriter, you will not have the benefit of an independent due diligence review and investigation of the type normally performed by an independent underwriter in connection with the offering of securities. See “Plan of Distribution.”

Investment Company Act Considerations

We intend to conduct our operations so that neither we, nor any of our subsidiaries, are required to register as investment companies under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the Investment Company Act. Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act defines an investment company as any issuer that is or holds itself out as being engaged primarily in the business of investing, reinvesting or trading in securities. Section 3(a)(1)(C) of the Investment Company Act defines an investment company as any issuer that is engaged or proposes to engage in the business of investing, reinvesting, owning, holding or trading in securities and owns or proposes to acquire investment securities having a value exceeding 40% of the value of the issuer’s total assets (exclusive of U.S. Government securities and cash items) on an unconsolidated basis, which we refer to as the 40% test. Excluded from the term “investment securities,” among other things, are U.S. Government securities and securities issued by majority-owned subsidiaries that are not themselves investment companies and are not relying on the exception from the definition of investment company set forth in Section 3(c)(1) or Section 3(c)(7) of the Investment Company Act.

We anticipate that we will hold real estate and real estate-related assets described below (i) directly, (ii) through wholly owned subsidiaries, (iii) through majority-owned joint venture subsidiaries, and, (iv) to a lesser extent, through minority-owned joint venture subsidiaries.

We expect to use substantially all of the net proceeds from this offering (after paying or reimbursing organization and offering expenses) to invest in and manage a diverse portfolio of assets and other real estate-related assets, where the underlying assets primarily consist of such properties.

We monitor our compliance with the 40% test and the holdings of our subsidiaries to ensure that each of our subsidiaries is in compliance with an applicable exemption or exclusion from registration as an investment company under the Investment Company Act.

The securities issued by any wholly owned or majority-owned subsidiary that we may form and that are excluded from the definition of “investment company” based on Section 3(c)(1) or 3(c)(7) of the Investment Company Act, together with any other investment securities we may own, may not have a value in excess of 40% of the value of our total assets on an unconsolidated basis.

The Investment Company Act defines a majority-owned subsidiary of a person as a company 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of which are owned by such person, or by another company which is a majority-owned subsidiary of such person. We treat companies in which we own at least a majority of the outstanding voting securities as majority-owned subsidiaries. The determination of whether an entity is a majority-owned subsidiary of the Company is made by us. We also treat subsidiaries of which we or our wholly-owned or majority-owned subsidiary is the manager (in a manager-managed entity) or managing member (in a member-managed entity) or in which our agreement or the agreement of our wholly-owned or majority-owned subsidiary is required for all major decisions affecting the subsidiaries (referred to herein as “Controlled Subsidiaries”), as majority-owned subsidiaries even though none of the interests issued by such Controlled Subsidiaries meets the definition of voting securities under the Investment Company Act. We reached our conclusion on the basis that the interests issued by the Controlled Subsidiaries are the functional equivalent of voting securities. We have not asked the Commission’s staff for concurrence of our analysis and it is possible that the Commission’s staff could disagree with any of our determinations. If the Commission’s staff were to disagree with our treatment of one or more companies as majority-owned subsidiaries, we would need to adjust our strategy and our assets. Any such adjustment in our strategy could have a material adverse effect on us.

We believe that neither we nor certain of our subsidiaries will be considered investment companies for purposes of Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act because we and they will not engage primarily or hold themselves out as being primarily engaged in the business of investing, reinvesting or trading in securities. Rather, we and such subsidiaries will be primarily engaged in non-investment company businesses related to real estate. Consequently, we and our subsidiaries expect to be able to conduct our operations such that none will be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act.

Certain of our subsidiaries may also rely upon the exclusion from the definition of investment company under Section 3(c)(5)(C) of the Investment Company Act. Section 3(c)(5)(C), as interpreted by the staff of the SEC, requires an entity to invest at least 55% of its assets in “mortgages and other liens on and interests in real estate”, which we refer to as “qualifying real estate interests”, and at least 80% of its assets in qualifying real estate interests plus “real estate-related assets”.

Qualification for exemption from registration under the Investment Company Act will limit our ability to make certain investments. To the extent that the Commission’s staff provides more specific guidance regarding any of the matters bearing upon such exclusions, we may be required to adjust our strategy accordingly. Any additional guidance from the Commission’s staff could provide additional flexibility to us, or it could further inhibit our ability to pursue the strategies we have chosen.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

We currently do not have any real properties. We do not lease or own any real property. Our website may be found at www.ownourown.com. We do not pay rent for our corporate headquarters which is leased by an affiliate of the Manager. We believe that this space will be sufficient for the long term.

OVERVIEW

Own Our Own Fund I, LLC is an emerging growth company which was formed on November 4, 2019. We have commenced only limited operations, exclusively focused on organizational matters in connection with this offering. We intend on generating revenues from rents to tenants for multifamily, and, in certain circumstances, office, hotel, retail, self- storage, warehouse and industrial properties which the Company acquires.

We have no plans to change our business activities or to combine with another business, and we are not aware of any events or circumstances that might cause our plans to change. The Company does not have any plans or arrangements to enter into a change of control, business combination or similar transaction or to change management.

The Company will raise a minimum of $1,000,000 prior to using proceeds from this Offering to acquire properties in the United States with a specific focus on urban markets and the Company can make an impact while providing a return to its investors. The Company intends to initially focus on multifamily properties, but will also, under certain circumstances, consider commercial real estate assets such as mixed use, hotel, office, industrial and retail properties. We expect to use the net proceeds from this Offering to pay for our operating costs in connection with this Offering, including marketing costs and on-going legal and accounting fees, and to finance costs associated with acquiring properties, such as broker price opinions, title reports, recording fees, accounting costs and legal fees.

Own Our Own Fund I, LLC seeks to capitalize on the inefficiencies that exist across the real estate landscape in inner city communities. Despite their size and potential, inner cities have been historically disinvested. Our thesis is that systemic underinvestment has created attractive investment opportunities in inner city real estate and adjacent businesses, which will also yield impact beyond profit.

Own Our Own will work to empower communities to engage and economically benefit from the redevelopment of their own assets. Our fundamental belief is that transformative change and inclusive growth are attainable by harmonizing market-based solutions with community needs and cultural awareness.

Own Our Own will seek to produce attractive risk adjusted returns by developing, redeveloping, acquiring, repositioning, asset managing, operating and disposing of real estate assets and real estate adjacent operating businesses. Although the fund will primarily target assets in core inner-city communities across the US, the Company will opportunistically invest in other markets.

The projected term of the fund will be 10 years from its initial closing. The fund will utilize a combination of equity, debt and hybrid financing for its acquisition of portfolio investments, provided however, that the Company’s total leverage will not exceed 80%, in aggregate, of the value of the Company’s assets.

Special Purpose Entities

Throughout the Offering Circular, in reference to “acquisitions,” the Company intends to acquire interests in “special purpose entities,” also known as “SPEs.” The SPEs will hold title to property acquisitions. The Company, in turn, will invest in the SPE.

Objectives

The Company has definite objectives to fulfill its strategy. These include:

The Company will look to buy multifamily properties, in growth areas for the best possible price, thereby giving the Company an instant competitive advantage. A potential investor should note that the above criteria is subject to change according to market conditions.

Mission

We view housing as a fundamental lever in achieving social equity, as it is the linchpin determinant of several profound societal outcomes: physical, behavioral and mental health, level of educational attainment, employment and general socioeconomic trajectory. We believe that an individual’s opportunity set is largely defined by the neighborhood, and ultimately the housing that they’re raised in, and that many of the issues and social gaps that typify low-income communities are centered around the housing stock available in low-income communities. The upside of this dynamic is that therein also lies the potential for solutions, i.e. building, developing or otherwise improving the housing stock, adjacent services and amenities in these communities.

Housing is thus the foundation of not only a healthy population, but also healthy neighborhoods and communities. Building and sustaining healthy communities requires a robust supply of high quality, affordable housing options that support its social, economic and physical needs.

Own Our Own will develop and invest in housing and mixed-use developments anchored by housing that support place-based strategies to transform neighborhoods in ways that facilitate greater integration, public safety, economic growth, job creation, and access to critical social services and resources. Our mission is to leverage our investment and development activity as a tool to create and spread opportunity across inner city communities.

Qualitative Objectives

Our Value Proposition

Due Diligence & Financing

When the Company identifies a location or a potential property, it will secure the necessary financing, sign a contract and place an escrow deposit to be held with the designated escrow agent. The Company will take the time necessary to complete all its due diligence to the property including: site inspection, reviewing all leases, income and expenses, as well as securing a first mortgage on the property. After the due diligence process has been completed, the Company will determine whether the property is suitable or not.

If property is not suitable, the Company will cancel the contract and look for the next opportunity. If the property is suitable, it will proceed to close, typically within 45 to 60 days. The Company intends to use financing of up to 80% of the loan to value of a particular property.

Joint Venture Partners

The Company may acquire Properties or other real estate related investments from, or invest, co-invest, joint venture or participate with, affiliates of our Manager or other real estate developers and investors, as determined by the Manager in its sole discretion including, without limitation, Parallel Funds. The purchase price of any Property or real estate related investment acquired from or sold to an affiliated party will be based upon the fair market value of the asset established by a third-party appraisal or fairness opinion that is dated within the last 120 days prior to the transaction.

The Manager has relationships with real estate entrepreneurs (“sponsors”) with whom it may, in some limited circumstances, seek to co-invest, joint venture or otherwise participate in certain investments that either the Company identifies, or the sponsor identifies. In the event of such co-investments or participation, including transactions with affiliates, the Manager will seek to secure such investments on behalf of the Company so that it is within the investment and return goals of the Company.

However, in some instances, these sponsors may require a right to receive a priority or pari-passu of return. In such event, the Manager will have the discretion to decide if the projected returns to the Company, after risk adjusting for such priority, warrant proceeding with the investment.

When and if the Manager utilizes its relationships with such sponsors, separate promote structures may be established between the Manager and the co-investor or participant, which may directly benefit the Manager or an affiliate of the Manager, separate from any compensation the Manager may earn as Manager of the Company. Any separate benefit shall be paid directly to the Manager or by the co-investors and participants, and not from Company funds or its Manager.

In some circumstances, the Manager may elect to co-invest with a third-party that the Manager also controls or has some control. The Company will take the same approach with a third-party as if entering into the transaction with a sponsor as discussed above.

We expect to use the net proceeds from this offering for ongoing legal, accounting, and professional fees, and working capital and to finance costs associated with acquiring commercial real estate, such as market appraisals, title and recording fees, broker fees, if any, legal fees and closing costs which, in the aggregate, typically amount to 1% to 3% of the purchase price of the property acquired, with an average of 2%. However, we currently have no real estate acquisitions contemplated. Accordingly, it is difficult to estimate how much will be required in the next 12 months to implement our business plan.

Financing Strategy

Once the proceeds of this Offering have been fully invested, the Company expects our debt financing will be in the range of approximately 60% to 80% of the aggregate value of real estate investments and other assets. Financing for acquisitions and investments may be obtained at the time an asset is acquired or an investment is made or at such later time as the management determines to be appropriate.

In addition, debt financing may be used from time to time for property improvements, lease inducements, tenant improvements and other working capital needs, including the payment of distributions. Additionally, the amount of debt placed on an individual property or related to a particular investment, including our pro rata share of the amount of debt incurred by an individual entity in which the Company invests, may be less than 60% or more than 80% of the value of such property/investment or the value of the assets owned by such entity, depending on market conditions and other factors.

The Company intends to limit borrowing to no more than 80% of the value of Company assets.

Exit Strategies

The Manage intends to operate the Company for up to ten (10) years. The Manager may employ multiple exit strategies including, but not limited to:

The Company will make a decision regarding the appropriate exit strategy at the time in accordance with market conditions.

Geographic Scope

The Company will not limit itself geographically, however it intends to invest initially in Los Angeles and Chicago. The Company will search multifamily and commercial properties that it may purchase at a discount to market value. The Company may acquire properties at market value where it believes that the property represents long-term or strategic value. The Company believes it can successfully identify such a potential target acquisition based upon the depth and the breadth of the industry experience, contacts and industry knowledge of the Company’s Manager. See “MANAGER, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, PROMOTERS AND CONTROL PERSONS” for a discussion of the Manager’s real estate experience.

Competition

We will face competition from other owners, investors and developers that are looking to acquire similar properties and who may implement or are already implementing a similar business plan to ours. Further, we may be at a disadvantage to our competition who may have greater capital resources than we do, specifically cash. It has become increasingly difficult to obtain lending on many properties and those developers that are able to close without financing and pay the full purchase price of a property in cash may be able to close on more properties or will be able to negotiate better purchasing terms.

TAX TREATMENT OF COMPANY AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES

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. This 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 partners.

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. Any such changes may be applied with retroactive effect. Counsel to the Company has not opined on the federal, state or local income tax matters discussed herein, and no rulings have been requested or received from the IRS or any state or local taxing authority concerning any matters discussed herein. Consequently, no assurance is provided that the tax consequences described herein will continue to be applicable or that the positions taken by the Company in respect of tax matters will not be challenged, disallowed or adjusted by the IRS or any state or local taxing authority.

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 partners. 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 partner generally is not taxable to the partner unless the amount of the distribution exceeds the partner’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 expects that the Company will be classified as a partnership for federal income tax purposes.

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

Profits and Losses are allocated to the partners 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 partner 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 accord with the principles of Treasury Regulations issued under Section 704(b) of the IRS Code relating to the partner’s interest in the partnership. 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 interests in the Company at the end of the Company’s taxable year in which the losses occur.

At-Risk Limitation. In 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 Limitation. Generally, 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 such Member’s 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. Since individual Members will be required to include Company income in their personal income without regard to whether there are distributions of Company income, such investors will become liable for federal and state income taxes on Company income even though they have received no cash distributions from the Company with which to pay such taxes.

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.

SUMMARY OF OPERATING AGREEMENT

The Operating Agreement, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 2, is the governing instrument establishing the terms and conditions pursuant to which the Company will conduct business and the rights and obligations by and between and among the Members and the Manager, as well as other important terms and provisions relating to investment in the Company. A prospective Member is urged to read and fully understand the Operating Agreement in its entirety prior to making a decision to purchase Interests. The following is a brief and incomplete summary of the terms of the Operating Agreement and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Operating Agreement.

Profits and Losses

After giving effect to certain special allocations set forth in the Operating Agreement, Net Profits (which is the excess of Profits over Losses) for each Fiscal Year of the Company shall be allocated first to reverse any Net Losses allocated to a Member solely as a result of the application of the limitation set forth below to another Member; thereafter to the Members, in proportion to their Percentage Interest. Net Losses (which is the excess of Losses over Profits) for each Fiscal Year of the Company shall be allocated to and among the Members pro-rata according to their respective Percentage Interests; however, Net Losses allocated as per the above shall not exceed the maximum amount of Losses that can be so allocated without causing any Member to have an adjusted Capital Account deficit at the end of any Fiscal Year. In the event some but not all of the Members would have adjusted Capital Account deficits as a consequence of an allocation of Net Losses above, this limitation shall be applied on a Member-by-Member basis so as to allocate the maximum permissible Net Losses to each Member under Treasury Regulation section 1.704‑1(b)(2)(ii)(d).

Distributions

Distributable Cash shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Manager after withholding sufficient Working Capital and Reserves. Distributions to Class A Members, when made, will be allocated among them pro rata based on each Class A Member’s Class A Percentage Interest and distributions to Class B Members, when made, will be allocated among them pro rata based on each Class B Member’s Class B Percentage Interest.

Distributable Cash, if any, derived from operation of the Company will be evaluated on a monthly basis, and disbursed as provided below until expended:

Distributable Cash, if any, from a “Capital Transaction” such as a refinancing or disposition of a Property, will be distributed as provided below until expended:

On refinance or disposition of a Property:

For the purposes of Cash Distribution calculations only, all Distributions from Capital Transactions such as a refinancing, will be treated as a return of capital until the Class A Members have received one hundred percent (100%) of their initial Capital Contributions, after which any further returns will be a return on investment.

Distributions upon Dissolution

Upon dissolution of the Company, all property (Assets) of the Company (including any Distributable Cash) will be distributed:

Voting Rights of the Members

Majority of Interests shall mean Members whose collective Percentage Interests represent more than fifty percent (50%) of the Interests, whether in the Company or in a particular Class, as specified in specific provisions of this Agreement. Where no class is specified, a Majority of Interests refers to Members having a majority of the total interests in the Company, regardless of class.

The Members will have no right to participate in the management of the Company and will have the authority to vote only on specific matters in the Operating Agreement, which are summarized below.

Votes Requiring 75% of Percentage Interests

Consent of Members holding 75% of Percentage Interests (including Manager) is required for any of the following matters:

Votes Requiring Approval of 75% of the All Members’ Interests other than the Manager

Consent of the Members holding the seventy five percent (75%) of the Percentage Interests (other than the Manager) must affirmatively vote to approve any of the following actions:

Votes Requiring Approval of a Majority of Interests of all Members

A vote of a Majority of Interests of all Members is required to:

Fill a vacancy after the Manager has resigned or been removed (see Article 8.7 of the Operating Agreement);

Removal of Manager for Cause

All Class A and Class B Members (other than the Manager who collectively own seventy five percent (75%) or more of the Interests (the requisite Interests)) shall issue a Notice to Perform to the Manager in accordance with the notice provision in Article 15.1 of the Operating Agreement. The Notice to Perform shall describe the matters of concern to the Members and shall give the Manager up to sixty (60) days to correct the matter of concern to the satisfaction of the voting Members. If the Manager fails to respond to the concerns or demands contained in such Notice to Perform then;

The Manager may be immediately removed, temporarily or permanently, for “Good Cause” determined by: (a) a vote of the requisite Members described above, or (b) by an arbitrator or judge per Article 13.5.4 of the Operating Agreement. Note, however, that removal of the Manager may require approval of a lender or substitution of a loan guarantor if any loan was conditioned on the qualifications of the Manager.

Reasons for Removal; Good Cause Defined

The previous Manager must serve until a new Manager is hired or elected. The Class A Members hereby agree that any right of removal shall be exercised only in good faith. “Good Cause” shall include only the following, as determined by a vote of the requisite Interests:

Termination of a Member Does Not Require Dissolution

The disassociation, withdrawal, death, insanity, incompetency, Bankruptcy, dissolution, or liquidation of any Member or the Manager will not require dissolution of the Company. In the event of the bankruptcy or incapacity of a Member, the Company shall not be dissolved, and the Member’s trustee in bankruptcy or other legal representative shall have only the rights of a transferee of the right to receive Company distributions applicable to the Units of such bankrupt or incapacitated Member as provided in the Operating Agreement. Any Transfer to or from such trustee in bankruptcy or legal representative shall be subject to the provisions of the Operating Agreement.

Manager and Member Liability; Indemnification

The Manager or a Member shall not be subject to any liability to the Company for the doing of any act or the failure to do any act authorized in the Operating Agreement, provided it was performed in good faith, including any liability, without limitation, of any Manager, Member, officer, employee, or agent of the Company, against judgments, settlements, penalties, fines, or expenses of any kind (including attorneys’ fees and costs) incurred as a result of acting in that capacity, provided however that nothing set forth above shall be construed to affect the liability of a Member of the Company (1) to third parties for the Member’s participation in tortious conduct, or (2) pursuant to the terms of a written guarantee or other contractual obligation entered into by the Member (such as a loan guarantee, etc.). The Manager (including its Affiliates, members, officers, employees, and agents) is specifically excluded from personal liability for any acts related to the Company, whether they relate to internal disputes with Members, external disputes with third parties or regulatory agencies, etc., except for cases where a finding is made by a court of law or arbitrator that the Manager engaged in:

Except for these exclusions, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the Manager from and against any and all loss, cost, liability, expense, damage or judgment of whatsoever nature to or from any Person or entity, including payment for the Manager’s defense (including reasonable attorney’s fees and costs) arising from or in any way connected with the conduct of the business of the Company.

Further, each Member shall indemnify and hold harmless the Manager, its Affiliates, officers, shareholders, directors, employees and agents from and against any and all loss, cost, liability, expense, damage or judgment of whatsoever nature to or from any Person or entity, including reasonable attorney’s fees, arising from or in any way connected with any liability arising from that Member’s misrepresentation(s) that it met the Suitability Standards established by the Manager for membership in the Company prior to its admission as a Member.

Parallel Funds, Special Purpose Entities and Co-Investment Opportunities

The Manager may, in its discretion and to the extent permitted by applicable law, create or sponsor partnerships or other vehicles that will be formed for participating pro rata and pari passu in the portfolio companies of the Company (“Parallel Fund”). The Parallel Fund may consist of certain investors who for a variety of reasons may not wish to participate in the investments through the Company. Any costs associated with the formation and administration of a Parallel Fund will be paid by the investors in the Parallel Fund. It is the intention of the Manager that the Manager of the Company will also act as the Manager of the Parallel Fund; provided, however, if such an arrangement were to become prohibited under the terms of the Operating Agreement, a separate Manager would be appointed. The Parallel Fund will likely contain economic terms, rights, restrictions and obligations for its investors that are completely different to those applicable to Investors in the Company, and which may be superior in priority of distributions, in economic rights and in non-economic rights.

Where the Manager deems it appropriate, the Company may use special purpose entities as subsidiaries, including corporations, limited liability companies and limited partnerships to make and hold investments. The Manager may also cause the Company to invest through corporations, limited liability companies, limited partnerships, joint ventures (both with third parties or affiliates of the Manager), or other arrangements in which the Company has an economic interest and where such arrangements are reasonably expected to preserve in all material respects the overall economic relationship of the Members.

To the extent that the Manager determines that any Company investment requires co-investment by third parties, the Manager may offer, but is not required to offer, to the Manager and certain Members the opportunity to co-invest on a side-by side basis with the Company and such Parallel Fund(s) in such investment. The Manager shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to accept all, none or any portion of such Member’s capital for such co-investment opportunity and may offer all or any portion of such co-investment opportunity to any third parties, and the terms offered to such third parties may be different than the co-investment terms offered to electing Members.

With regard to any co-investment comprised of electing Members, the Manager, in its discretion, shall be entitled to receive from the participating Members: (i) an asset management fee computed in the same manner as the Asset Management Fee and (ii) a carried interest computed in the same manner as that of the Company.

Transfers of Interests

A Member may assign, his, her or its Interests only if certain conditions set forth in the Operating Agreement are satisfied. Except as otherwise consented to by the Manager, the assignee must meet all suitability standards and other requirements applicable to other original subscribers and must consent in writing to be bound by all the terms of the Operating Agreement. In addition, the Company must receive written evidence of the assignment in a form approved by the Manager and the Manager must have consented in writing to the assignment. The Manager may withhold this consent in its sole and absolute discretion. Prior to the Manager’s consenting to any assignment, the Member must pay all reasonable expenses, including accounting and attorneys’ fees, incurred by the Company in connection with the assignment.

Dissolution of the Company, Liquidation and Distribution of Assets

The Company shall be dissolved upon the disposition of all Company Properties (which may be determined solely by action of the Manager) or upon a vote by the Members holding 75% of the Percentage Interests. The Company will observe any mandatory provisions of the Act upon dissolution. On dissolution, Assets of the Company will be distributed as described in Article 4.3 hereof.

Fiscal Year, Books and Records

The Company shall engage an independent certified public accountant or accounting firm, in the discretion of the Manager, to audit the Company’s financial statements as of the end of each fiscal year. As soon as practicable after the end of such fiscal year, but in no event later than 120 days after the end of such fiscal year, the Manager shall provide to each Member: audited financial statements of the Company as of the end of and for such fiscal year, including a Statement of Assets, Liabilities, and Members’ Equity and statement of operations, together with the report thereon of the Company’s independent certified public accountant or accounting firm, and a statement of Properties of the Company, including the cost of such Properties.

Within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year, the Manager shall provide the following to each Member:

As soon as practicable after the end of each semi-annual period, but in no event later than 90 days following the end of each such period, the Manager shall prepare and e-mail, mail or make available on its secure website, to each Member

The Company, for accounting and income tax purposes, shall operate on a Fiscal Year ending December 31 of each year, and shall make such income tax elections and use such methods of depreciation as shall be determined by the Manager. The books and records of the Company will be kept on a GAAP basis in accordance with sound accounting practices to reflect all income and expenses of the Company.

During the term of the Company and for seven (7) years thereafter, the Company shall keep at its principal place of business, the following:

A Member may:

A Member shall have the right, during ordinary business hours, to inspect and copy the Company documents listed above at the Member’s expense. But the Member must give seven (7) days’ notice to the Manager of such Member’s intent to inspect and/or copy the documents, and may only inspect and copy such Company documents for a purpose reasonably related to the Member’s Interest in the Company as approved by the Manager. The Company may impose a reasonable charge, limited to the costs of labor and material, for copies of records furnished. The Company may elect, at its option, to provide the requested document electronically.

To the extent allowed by law, the Manager shall honor requests of Members to keep their contact information confidential.

Alternative Dispute Resolution

The Company Operating Agreement contains a dispute resolution agreement. Litigation could require diversion of Company Profits to pay attorney’s fees or could tie up Company funds necessary for operation of the Company, impacting the profitability of the investment for all Members. The Company compels Members to attempt mediation followed by arbitration. This provision excludes claims under federal securities laws and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

We believe this is enforceable under federal law and the state of Delaware as it not only clear and unambiguous, but it clearly states, multiple times, that the Member is waiving his/her right to bring a claim in a court of law before a judge or a jury. The Alternative Dispute Resolution Act (1998) requires all federal district courts to authorize and promote the use of alternative dispute resolution programs. The state of Delaware encourages arbitration and passed the Delaware Rapid Arbitration Act (DRAA) which is designed to make arbitration practice more timely and efficient. The DRAA imposes time limitations on the arbitrator compelling arbitration to complete within 120 days with a 60- day extension.

The Delaware Chancery Court Rules allow parties in a litigation to seek mediation of their pending action in front of a judicial officer different from the one overseeing their litigation. Delaware law also allows for mediation of business and technology disputes where no litigation is already pending. Thus, parties may initiate a mediation in the Court of Chancery without filing a lawsuit. Business entities get access to the experienced Court of Chancery judges, but they also get to resolve their disputes in an efficient and confidential manner. The Court of Chancery’s tradition of flexibility applies in ADR as well, as the parties are able to customize the ADR process to meet their specific needs.

Despite these laws and rules in place, we are uncertain of the enforceability of any Alternative Dispute Resolution provision.

Members, by agreeing to this alternative dispute resolution, will not be deemed to have waived the company’s compliance with the federal securities laws. If, in any action against the Manager, the selected or appointed arbitrator, or judge (if applicable) makes a specific finding that the Manager has violated securities laws, or has otherwise engaged in any of the actions for which the Manager will not be indemnified, the Manager must bear the cost of its own legal defense. The Manager must reimburse the Company for any such costs previously paid by the Company. Until the Company has been fully reimbursed, the Manager will not be entitled to receive any Fees or Distributions it may otherwise be due.

It is expected that all Members, including those in secondary transactions, would be subject to the arbitration provision.

Amendments to Operating Agreement

The Certificate of Formation and the Operating Agreement may only be substantively amended by the affirmative vote of the Members holding 75% of the Percentage Interest of the Company. However, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Operating Agreement, the Manager may amend the Operating Agreement in a manner not materially inconsistent with the principles of the Operating Agreement, without the approval or vote of the Members, including without limitation:

Following any such amendment the Members shall be notified thereof.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We may from time to time be involved in routine legal matters incidental to our business; however, at this point in time we are currently not involved in any litigation, nor are we aware of any threatened or impending litigation.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

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

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.  We conducted our audit in accordance with U.S. generally accepted auditing standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.  An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.  In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.  We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Own Our Own Fund I, LLC as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and for the period from inception (November 4, 2019) to December 31, 2019, in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

The Company’s planned operations involves the purchase of real estate throughout the United States. The Company intends to focus its investment efforts on those properties that are income producing.

The Company is considered an emerging growth company under Section 101(a) of the Jumpstart Business Act as it is an issuer that had total annual gross revenues of less than $1 billion during its most recently completed fiscal period.

Note 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP’). The Company adopted the calendar year for reporting the financial statements.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and the footnotes thereto. Actual results could differ from those estimates. It is reasonably possible that changes in estimates will occur in the near term. All amounts are rounded to the nearest whole dollar upon presentation so certain sums or differences may reflect a rounding difference in some instances.

Risks and Uncertainties

The Company has a limited operating history. The Company’s business and operations are sensitive to general business and economic conditions in the United States. A host of factors beyond the Company’s control could cause fluctuations in these conditions. Adverse conditions may include recession, downturn or otherwise, local competition or changes in underlying real estate values. These adverse conditions could affect the Company’s financial condition and the results of its operations. As December 31, 2019 the Company has not commenced operating as a going concern.

Organization Expenses

The Company has incurred $53,630 of organization expenses.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reporting in the financial statements and consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes related primarily to differences between the basis of receivables, inventory, property and equipment, intangible assets, and accrued expenses for financial and income tax reporting. Where applicable, the deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax return consequences of those differences, which will either be taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

For the current period, the Company is taxed as a partnership for US federal income tax purposes. Additionally, the Company’s subsidiaries, as single-member limited liability companies, will be treated as disregarded as separate from the Company for US federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, all consolidated items of income, deductions, gains or losses and credits are allocated to members in accordance with the operating agreement and subchapter K of the Internal Revenue Code. Since the Company is not liable for tax itself, no material federal tax provision has been recorded.

The Company will be filing its federal and state income tax returns for the period from inception (November 4, 2019) through December 31, 2019. The positions shown on those tax returns are open for examination for a period of three years. Currently, the Company is not under examination by any taxing jurisdiction and has not been assessed any interest or penalties related to income tax matters. The Company routinely evaluates its tax positions that have been taken or are expected to be taken on income tax returns to determine if an accrual is necessary for uncertain tax positions. As of December 31, 2019 the Company has no uncertain tax positions.

NOTE 3 – AMORTIZATION EXPENSE

The organization expenses will be amortized over sixty months when the Company commences operations.

NOTE 4 – INCOME TAX PROVISION
