The Project: 804 Drayton St. Savannah Ga.
The Project: 804 Drayton St. Savannah Ga.
804 Drayton, aka; 105-107 Gwinnett is a historical 8bed/8ba mansion converted into 8 apartments. Done4U acquired the building for $800,000 less than asking and they threw in the 25 space parking lot (separate parcel) for free. Done4U acquired the project at the onset of COVID and like many markets, Savannah exploded. The “as-is” appreciation on this project is already up 42% and that does not include the parking lot, which we value at approximately $1mm.
Who is Done4U? Done4U is a Wyoming LLC specifically designated to the operations of this project. It is the same reputable team and members of Strategic Passive Investments, who have nearly 3 decades of investment experience and hundreds of millions of dollars in transactions (over $90mm in the last 4 years). The purpose of a designated entity is to ensure the investors of this offering are not subject to any potential future litigation, claims, or judgements. More importantly, it gives the investors in this offering anonymity and protections against any legal disputes you may have personally, or otherwise.
We have spent the last 2+ years getting through the many hurdles a project like this requires. Historic and city permits are all complete.
The property never had central heating and air. It also still had the electrical and cast- iron pipes from the early 1900s. New electrical, plumbing and 8 independent HVAC units have been installed. We are now ready to fast track this project to the finish line. Depending on how successful capital raise is, we expect operations to begin late spring, or early summer. These units will all be completed to superior luxury finishes you may find in a Ritz Carlton, or Four Seasons Hotel. The units are all 1 bed, 1 bath with separate living room and kitchen. Each unit will accommodate up to four guests. Although we will eventually convert these units into short term vacation rentals, we will rent them out as much needed corporate housing until we can acquire STVR certification (approximately 3years).
It is important to take into consideration how this project. In the below, we get into the nuts and bolts of this opportunity and we are backing that up with a ton of data and comparables. As an investor, and as this memorandum stresses, you should do your own due diligence and with it, you will find that our projections are extremely conservative. What sets us apart from anything we could find as a comparison does not have the location, views, off-street parking, design, or the amenities that ours come with. We will get more into these details as you continue to read.
The Location and Renderings:
The Location and Renderings:
We couldn’t ask for a better location. Located on the park and next door to Hotel Bardo. The free tourist trolley pics up at our front door every 30 minutes. 1 block to the east is a Kroger grocery store – the only one downtown. The park is host to many, many events every year and a main stopping point for tourists and locals alike. Jazz festivals, art exhibitions, food festivals, you name it and it is right out the front door. The renderings are very similar to the luxury we will provide in each apartment. Desiger appliances and furniture, 65” smart TVs, Keurig coffee and cappicino/espresso makers, automation for curtains and lights. Hard-wired internet connections for top-level execs who cannot use wifi, egyptian cotton sheets, electric bikes for gettiing around town. Each guest will receive a warm welcome with wines, cheeses and local craft beer in the fridge. We will exceed every expection of our guests, as you would expect from a 5 star resort.
The Amenities:
The Amenities:
It is importannt to note that the amenaties sets us apart from any corporate housing, or when the time comes, short term vacation rental housing. By Partnering with Hotal Bardo, our guests have free use and access to all their amenities.
This is a gamechanger. Not only will our guests have beautiful Forsyth Park at their disposale, they have free access to 5 star amenities right next door at no additional cost. This will most certainly make our units standout and over time, we will be able to substantially increase our rates with this offering.
Before we get too far ahead of ourselves, let’s talk about that freebie parking lot we got! Parking in Savannah is notoriously bad. Off street parking is nearly impossible to come by. We have 25 spots across the street from the world famous Forsyth Park and right next door the nicest hotel in Savannah, Hotel Bardo. They too have parking problems and have leased 15 of our spots on a 10 year lease for $4500/mo. In exchange, all our guests get free access to their five-star ameneties like the pool, gym, spa, etc. Obviously, these other corporate units don’t offer this level of luxury, or location. As such we know our projections are likely far lower than expectations. On the remaining 10 spots we have, they will be metered spots charging $3/hr, $45/24hrs and for our guests $15/24hrs.
Here we have the worst corporate housing we could find that would accommodate the same number of guests as ours.
I think we could all agree that this place is a real dump, but it is a dump that rents for a little over $4k/month. Why, because the demand for corprate house in Savannah is through the roof.
We have done about $30mm in this market over just the last two years, so we do know a little something about where the actual projections will land for us, but to be fair, we tried to find the nicest corporate rental we could find. Keep in mind, this one is again, not in a great location like ours, doesn’t have the luxury features ours will and does not have the 5-star Hotel Bardo amenities ours does.
Investment: $3,550,000
Gross Rent: $395,520 ($4,500/mo (x4) and $5,500 (x4) with 80% occupancy)
Parking: $54,000/Hotel Bardo / $86,400(10 spots at an average of $30/day 80% occupancy),
Gross Revenues: $535,920, or 15.09%
Operating Expenses: $48,000
Net Profit: $487,920, or 13.74%
The Actual Projections:
The Actual Projections:
The two above are obviously conservative projections based on both the worst and the best we could find. We are still in communication with corprate housing managers to determine what we will rent ours for, but as of today we intend to rent the four units facing the park for $5,500/month and the four units in the back for $4,800/month.
It takes about 3 years to get short term rental certification in Savannah. Once we have it, we will have a game changer in the monthly revenues. It is important to know the above projections do not take into account Hotel Bardo over sold accomidations, where if we have availability, they will push the guests to us at their advertised suite rate, which is between $550 and $1500 per night, based on season..
Short Term Vacation Rental Projections:
Short Term Vacation Rental Projections:
Once the city gives us our short term vacation rental certification, our revenues will grow substantially, but so will our operating costs. Running and owning similar sized STVRs in the past, we have a pretty good feel for what those numbers will look like. We also know what needs to be done in order to maintain 5-star reviews for our STVRs. Although Savannah doesn’t really have an off-season, spirng, summer and fall are obviously our busiest months and in the winter we get snowbirds who stay for 3-6 months at a time. We couldn’t really base our projections on similar AirBnb properties, because nothing has our location, or amenities package, or even the extras we throw in for free, like e-bikes to get around on. In addition, if you are a family of four, would you rather stay in queen beds at Hotel Bardo, or rightnext door in a one-bedroom apartment. Would you rather pay $500/nt and $55 for parking, or $350/nt and $15 for parking?
Now something we need to consider, is that when we are STVR certified, we will effectively be a direct competitor to Hotel Bardo and the cost of our units should technicaly meet, or exceed Hotel Bardo rates. Our apartments will have nicer in unit furniture, TVs, electric bikes and other ameneties, in addition to the use of Hotel Bardo ameneties. In theory and probably in reality, or rates should be equal too, or greater than Bardo. The following screenshot is the cost of a standard double room, which sleeps four for a reservation for 4 nights at the end of March, 2024. As you can see, our projections are based on half that amount per night for the entire year.
Case in point, once a STVR we will be competing with other STVRs, but when somebody searches for hotels on Kayak, Expedia, etc., STVRs pop up as well. Due to our proximity and access, our pricepoints are going to be more intune with Hotel Bardo, not a typical AirBnB. That said, we have used what we feel is an extremely low and conservative number for our projections. In all liklihood you could assume that the following projections are half of where we likely will be.
Investment: $3,550,000
Gross Rent: $720,000 ($250/nt at an 80% occupancy)
Parking: $54,000/Hotel Bardo -- $86,400(10 spots at an average of $30/day 80% occupancy)
Gross Revenues: $860,400, or 24.33%
Operating Expenses: $115,000
Net Profit: $745,400, or 20.99%
Investment: $3,000,000
Gross Rent: $720,000 ($250/nt at an 80% occupancy)
Parking: $54,000/Hotel Bardo -- $86,400(10 spots at an average of $30/day 80% occupancy)
Gross Revenues: $860,400, or 28.68%
Operating Expenses: $115,000
Net Profit: $745,400, or 24.85%
Equity/After Repair Value:
Equity/After Repair Value:
Remember, we bought this place for a steal already and got the parking lot for free. When you take that into consideration and throw in the incredible appreciation Savannah continues to experience, you get an after repair valuation that looks just too good to be true. We believe a real after repair value on just the improved property is $5.5mm. The parking lot is worth a million just based on the rental CAP it is already producing. For sake of this PPM, we are keeping the ARV at $4.75MM and the parking lot at $1mm, or a total of $5.75mm for the building and parking.
Investment: $3,550,000
ARV: $5,750,000
Profit (in equity): $2,200,000
Profit Percentage: 61.97%
Year 1 Cashflow: 15.09%
year 1 gross profit: 76.97%
CAVEAT: Throughout this summary, we have done our best to tone down this opportunity as much as possible, using lower than expected projections. This data is all very easily verifiable, by spending a few hours online doing your very own due diligence. We saved the best for last, which is the followng.
1) We project our after repair value will be closer to $7.5mm
2) 5+ units in Savannah were up 23% in 2023, which was the lowest national real estate market since 1995.
3) The above and below offering is based on an investment cost of $3,550,000. We have an overbudget of $550,000 calculated into our projections. Considering what stage we are currently in the renovations, we are confident our actual investment will be closer to $3.150,000. We will only sell enouogh Class A units to complete the project and a slush account for operations. Thus, your cost to value on everything stated above and below will obviously increase.

RISK FACTORS
The purchase of the Units involves a high degree of risk to the Prospective Investor and is suitable only for persons of financial means who have no need for liquidity in investments and who can afford the possible loss of their entire investment. These risks include certain risks relating to regulatory, operating, tax and investment matters. Prospective Investors should give careful consideration to the following risk factors contained herein. Risk and consult with their own professional advisor(s) to consider carefully the following factors, the Operating Agreement and the Company.
a. Real Estate Risks
Risks of Real Estate in General. The risks and benefits of investment in real estate depend upon many factors over which the Sponsor has little or no control, including, without limitation, (i) changes in the economic conditions in the country in general, and in the area in which the Property is located, which changes could give rise to a decrease in local demand, an increase in local supply of land, an increase in unemployment, a change in the characteristics of the area in which the real property is located, an restrictive governmental regulation, (ii) various uninsurable risks, (iii) increases in the costs in excess of the budgeted costs, and (iv) the continuing advance of certain provisions of the federal, tax laws.Appeal of the Property. A major risk of owning any property is its appeal.
The appeal to prospective tenants and/or buyers of any given property depends, among other things upon unpredictable public tastes and such appeal cannot be predicted in advance with any degree of certainty. While the experience and talent of the persons involved with a property generally improve the chances of any given development project achieving success there can be no assurance that any particular property will appeal to prospective buyers.
Competition. Another major risk is competition from other businesses. Sponsor expects to encounter competition from others in the area, and a certain number of competitors are better capitalized and more established in the market.
Economic Uncertainties. The success of the Property will depend upon certain factors, which are beyond the control of the Sponsor and cannot be predicted accurately at this time. Such factors include general and local economic conditions, increased competition, increased construction costs, changes in demand, and limitations, which may be imposed by government regulation.
Uninsured Losses; Cost of insurance. Although the Manager will arrange for certain insurance coverage to the extent that doing so is reasonable, costs of insurance may escalate beyond those anticipated, or certain kinds of losses may be uninsurable or may exceed available coverage. In the event of an uninsured loss, Investors may recognize a loss of all or a portion of investment.
b. Operating Risk.Profitability.
The Company is a newly formed entity, which had no operation prior to this offering. There can be no assurance that the Company will operate profitably in the future. However, the Managers have been executing in this market for over 10 years. In the last 2, they have completed over $24,000,000 projects in this market for a profit.
Likelihood of Success-Business Risks. The likelihood of success of the Offering must be considered in the light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays frequently encountered in connection with the acquisition, operation, and sale of real estate. However, the Managers acquired this project over two years ago and has met most of the potential delays and problems that could arise.
Risk of Interpretation of Real Estate Documents and Agreements. There are certain risks in connection with any real estate acquisition resulting from the drafting and subsequent interpretation of mortgages, deeds, leases, purchase agreements, Done 4U Investments contracts, et cetera. Any documents describing the Property or the legal relations thereto could be subject to various interpretations and potential disputes. While legal counsel will review certain legal documents, it is impossible to prevent and be secured against such various differing interpretations.
Risks of Real Estate Ownership. Real estate is not readily marketable. It is fixed in location and is subject to adverse social and economic changes and uses, rising operating costs, construction-related deficiencies, vacancies and collection difficulties. Operating expenses may increase beyond the rent levels obtainable by the Property or rental income may decline due to vacancies, which can be the result of improper management, or a change in the social patterns in the area. If adequate rent increases are not obtained (or are restricted by federal or local law) to offset increased costs, the Company may default on potential debt obligations with adverse consequences to the Investors. The Company may contract liability on debt secured by a mortgage. The Company will rely upon the Manager to negotiate and consummate such documents as are required, including mortgages, deeds, mortgage notes, assignments and related instruments.
Results of Operations - Possible Operating Deficits. Pursuant to this Offering, the Company is raising capital of $2,700,000 payable in full upon subscription. It is not anticipated that the Company or the project will require additional capital (except for the refinance) beyond that mentioned above, however, there is no assurance that these funds will be adequate. This Offering is based upon projected results, which may be greater than results obtained from actual operations. Actual results may differ adversely for a number of reasons; following the purchase, the Property may be subject to rising operating costs, rent collection difficulties, possible rent controls imposed by the government and adverse economic and social events. If operating income is substantially less than projected, and additional cash requirements are necessary and such funds are not provided by the Members or by outside financing, the Project could go into default and be foreclosed. (See "USES OF FUNDS".)
Dependence Upon Manager. The Manager has full discretion in the management of the Company and the Manager has full discretion in the management and control of the affairs of the Company, including the authority to sell less than all or substantially all of the Company’s assets for whatever consideration it deems appropriate. Except upon the sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, the sale of such assets will not result in the dissolution of the Company. The sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s interests will result in the dissolution of the Company. The success of the operations of the Company will be dependent in large measure on the judgment and ability of the Manager.
Limited Transferability. The Units have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), or under the securities laws of any state, but are being offered and sold in reliance upon exemptions from registration thereunder, including the exemptions from federal registration contained in Section 4(2) of the Act and/or Regulation D, Rule 506 promulgated thereunder. As a consequence of the restrictions on subsequent transfer imposed by these exemptions, the Units may not be subsequently sold, assigned, conveyed, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise transferred by the holder thereof, whether or not for consideration, except in compliance with the Act and applicable state securities laws. There will be no public market for the Units following termination of this Offering and it is not expected that a public market for the Units will ever develop.
Restriction on Transferability of Units. The Operating Agreement places restrictions on the transfer or assignment of the Units. Any Member who desires to transfer a Unit in the Company in accordance with the terms of the Operating Agreement will nevertheless be prohibited from transferring said Unit except in compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws. Accordingly, Investors in the Company should be prepared to remain Members until the termination of the Company.
Lack of Liquidity. There is no present market for the Units, and no such market is anticipated. Further, there can be no assurance that a market for the Units will develop or, if such market develops that it will continue. Further, there are restrictions on transfer of the Unit in the event that a market develops for the Units. Accordingly, an investment in the Units will not be liquid and there can be no assurance that the Units offered hereby can be resold at or near the Offering price and, in fact, purchasers of the Units may be unable to resell them for an indeterminate period of time.
Done 4U Investments Decisions. The Manager is vested with the exclusive authority as to the management and conduct of the business and affairs of the Company. The success of the Company depends, to a large extent, upon the Done 4U Investments decisions made by the Manager.
Restoration of Deficit Capital Accounts. Each Member should be aware that if there is a deficit in the Member’s capital account following the distribution of liquidation proceeds, the Member will be required to restore the amount of such deficit, which could be substantial, to the Company, which amount shall then be distributed to Members in accordance with their positive capital account balances or paid to creditors.
No Business Appraisal of the Units. The Offering price per Unit was unilaterally and arbitrarily determined by the Sponsor based upon acquisition costs, estimated operating expenses, estimated fees to be paid and estimated offering expenses. However, Sponsors believe the purchase price to be on competitive terms.
No Assurance of Return of Invested Capital. Any return to the Members on their capital contribution will be dependent upon the ability of the Sponsor. Such ability will be determined in part, upon economic factors and conditions beyond the control of the Sponsor.
Adequacy of Capital and Reserves. An adequate amount of capital is necessary for success of the Company. In the event there are cost overruns or delays, further capital may be necessary.
Special Risks of the Company Form and Membership Units
Liability for Return of Capital Contribution. Under WYOMING Law, which is applicable to the Company, any Member who receives a return of any portion of the capital contribution to the Company may be liable to Company for the amount of the returned portion of the capital contribution, plus interest only to the extent necessary to discharge the Company's liabilities to creditors who extended credit to the Company or whose claims arose during the period the returned portion or capital contribution was held by the Company.
No Right to Manage. Investors are not permitted to take any part in Done 4U Investments or control of the business or affairs of the Company except as specifically provided for in the Operating Agreement. The Operating Agreement vests exclusive control and Done 4U Investments of the Company in the Manager. Accordingly, the Company will be totally dependent on the Manager and its Affiliates to manage the business of the Company. Accordingly, the success of the Company's business will depend in large part upon the expertise of the Manager. Removal of the Manager is permitted only under certain limited conditions as set forth in the Operating Agreement.
Limitation of Manager’s Liability. The Manager, its affiliates, its officers, shareholders, directors, employees, and agents will not be liable to any Member, and the Company will indemnify the foregoing against any all liabilities, or damages, including attorney fees incurred by them by virtue of the performance any of them of the duties of the Manager acting as Manager in connection with Company's business, so long as such person acted within the scope of its, his, or her authority and in good faith on behalf of the Company, but only if such course of conduct does constitute gross negligence, fraud, and/or willful or intentional misconduct. Under the terms of the Operating Agreement, the Manager, its affiliates, and its officers, shareholders, directors, employees and agents will not be liable for any loss or damage to Company property caused by any occurrence beyond the control of the Manager. A Member may have a limited right of action against the Manager than would be available absent indemnification provisions contained in the Operating Agreement.Securities Law Compliance. This offering has not been registered under Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act") or any applicable state securities laws such state laws. There is no assurance that the offering presently qualifies or will continue to qualify under such exceptive provisions due to, other things, the adequacy of disclosure, the manner of distribution of the offering, the existing of similar offerings conducted by the Company, or the retroactive change of any securities or regulations. If suits for rescission are brought against the Company under the Act or laws, both capital and assets of the Company could be adversely affected. Further expenditure of Company time and capital in defending an action by investors, the Securities Exchange Commission, or state regulators, even in the Company is ultimately exonerated adversely affect the Company's ability to profitably develop the Property.
d. Tax Risks. A summary of Federal income tax provisions is included in this Memorandum. No representation or warranty of any kind is made by the Manager, the Company, counsel to the Manager or the Company with respect to any tax consequences relating to the Company, or the allocation of taxable income or loss set forth in this Memorandum or the Operating Agreement and each Investor should seek his own tax advice concerning the purchase of an Interest.
Suitability of the Investment to the Investor. It is expected that the Company will produce taxable income to its Investors. Because of the 1986 Reform Act, in the event taxable loss is produced by the Company in any year, such loss will be available to an Investor only to the extent of the Investor’s passive income from other sources.Unutilized tax losses may be carried forward into subsequent years to offset future passive income or offset taxable gain upon disposition of the Company’s assets.
Federal Income Tax Risks.i. Necessity of Obtaining Professional Advice. THERE IS NO GENERAL EXPLANATION OF THE FEDERAL INCOME TAX ASPECTS OF INVESTMENT IN THE COMPANY CONTAINED IN THIS MEMORANDUM, AND ACCORDINGLY, EACH INVESTOR IS URGED TO CONSULT SUCH INVESTOR’S OWN TAX INVESTMENT AND LEGAL ADVISORS WITH RESPECT TO SUCH MATTERS AND WITH RESPECT TO THE ADVISABILITY OF INVESTING IN THE COMPANY. The income tax consequences of an investment in the Company are complex, subject to varying interpretations, and may vary significantly between Investors depending upon such personal factors such as sources of income, investment portfolios and other tax considerations. A Prospective Investor should consider with his professional advisors the tax effects of his becoming a Class A Member. Each Investor should, at his own expense, retain, consult with and rely on his own advisors with respect to the tax effects of his investment in the Company. In addition to considering the federal income tax consequences, each Investor should also consider with his own advisors the state and local tax consequences of an investment in the Company.
No representations are made as to any federal, state or local tax consequences resulting from an investment in the Company, and no assurances are given that any deduction or other federal income tax benefits will be available to Members in the Company in the current or future years.
ii. Company Tax Status. Although the Manager believes that the Company will be treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes, such treatment cannot be assured. If the Company were to be classified as an association taxable as a corporation, the tax status of the Company and the Members would be adversely affected, and any tax benefits expected from an investment in the Company would be lost.
iii. Tax Law Changes. The existence and amount of particular credits and deductions, if any, claimed by the Company may depend upon various determinations and allocations, characterizations of payments, and other matters which are subject to potential controversy on factual as well as legal grounds. Changes in the Code and official interpretations thereof after the date of this Memorandum may eliminate or reduce any perceived tax benefits from an investment in the Units. There can be no assurance that regulations having an adverse effect on the Members will not be issued in the future and enforced by the courts. Any modification or change in the Code or the regulations promulgated thereunder, or any judicial decision, could be applied retroactively to any investment in the Company. In view of this uncertainty, Investors are urged to consider ongoing developments in this area and consult their advisors concerning the effects of such developments on an investment in the Company in light of their own personal tax situations.
iv. Absence of Ruling or Opinion. The Company will not seek a ruling from the IRS or an opinion of counsel with respect to any tax matters described in this Memorandum.
v. Passive Activity Loss Rules. Under the Tax Reform Act of 1986, non-corporate taxpayers may use losses from passive activities only to offset taxable income from other passive activities. Passive activity income includes income from investments in a trade or business in which the taxpayer does not materially participate, other than "portfolio income" such as interest, dividends, royalties and gain from the sale of property producing portfolio income. It is unlikely that a Member's share of any losses will constitute losses from a passive activity. However, in the event a Member's share of any losses does constitute losses from a passive activity then, to the extent that a Member's share of losses has not been deducted against passive activity income, it may be deducted against any type of income upon a taxable disposition of the Member's entire interest in the Company (subject to any other restrictions in the Code).
vi. Disallowance and Reallocation. The Company will claim all deductions for federal income tax purposes that the Manager believes the Company is entitled to claim. However, there can be no assurance that such deductions, or the allocation of such deductions to the Member, will not be contested or disallowed. Any challenge or disallowance may be raised in connection with the tax returns filed by the Company or any Member. The costs of any administrative or legal proceedings regarding any such challenge or disallowance, if raised in connection with the tax returns filed by a Member, will be borne solely by the affected Member. If the IRS contests the deductibility of some or any of the items of expense of which deductions are to be claimed, such a contest could result in the disallowance of some or all of the tax benefits to the Members. Furthermore, other audit adjustments may affect both the timing and the tax benefits available.Under Section 704(a) of the Code, allocations of income, gain, loss, deduction, or credit among partners pursuant to the provisions of a written partnership agreement will be respected, so long as such allocations have substantial economic effect. If the allocations under the Operating Agreement were deemed not to have substantial economic effect or were deemed not to be in accordance with the Member's interest in the Company, partnership tax treatment could be denied.
vii. Distributions. Cash distributions by a partnership to its partners are taxable only to the extent the amount of such a distribution exceeds the partner's tax basis for his interest in the partnership, or to the extent a distribution causes a recapture of losses under the Code. It is possible for a partner to have income reported on his federal income tax return although no cash (or cash in an amount less than is reported as income) is distributed to him. It is also possible for a partner to have a loss reported on his federal income tax return, even though cash is distributed to him (which will be treated as a reduction of his tax basis for his interests). If a major capital transaction should occur with respect to the Company, a Member will be deemed, for tax purposes, to have received a distribution of money in the amount of his share of any debt of the Company that is assumed or canceled. The tax upon income allocated to the Members could exceed cash flow and net sale proceeds distributed to the Members and, to the extent of the excess, the payment of such taxes will be out-of-pocket expenses of the Members.
viii. Deductibility of Fees. The deductibility of fees, if any, to be paid by the Company to the Manager, its affiliates and others may be subject to challenge and disallowance, in whole or in part, on the ground that such fees: (i) are not reasonable in amount for the services performed; (ii) constitute non-deductible syndication costs; (iii) must be amortized over longer periods of time than contemplated by the Company or are deductible only upon dissolution of Company income. If all or a portion of any fees were disallowed as current deduction, a Member's tax losses would be reduced in the years in which such deductions were disallowed.
ix. Risk of Audit. Information returns filed by the Company are subject to audit by the IRS. An audit of the Company's returns may lead to adjustments of a Member's return with respect to items other than those relating to the Member's investment in the Company, the costs of which would be borne by the affected Members.The tax treatment of items of partnership income, loss, deductions, and credits is determined at the partnership level in a unified partnership proceeding, and the Manager, as the "tax matters Member" of the Company, may, under certain circumstances, represent and bind all of the Members. Any adjustment made to the Company's or a Member's return could result in the affected Members being subject to an imposition of interest, additional taxes and penalties.
x. Profit Motive. The IRS has advised its agents to examine certain partnership tax returns to determine the partnership's profit motive. A partnership lacking a profit motive may not deduct expenses in excess of revenues (except for interest and state and local taxes). If the operation of the Company is deemed to be an activity not engaged in for profit, or should any Member be found not to have the requisite profit motive, the tax benefits of an investment in the Company would be substantially reduced. The Manager believe that the Company has a significant profit motive.
xi. “At-Risk” Rules. Partners in a partnership are subject to Section 465 of the Code, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, limiting the partner's share of an otherwise deductible loss to the total amount of the partner's investment. A limited partner may not include any partnership liability in determining his or her "at-risk" limitation.

(a) Allocation of Manager’s Activities. The Manager and Affiliates are not required to devote themselves exclusively to the affairs of the Company. Further, the Manager and affiliates may own real estate in the same market as the Property. The Manager and Affiliates may have a conflict of interest in the ownership of these other properties and in allocating Done 4U Investments, services and functions between the Company, Property and their other present and future interests. The Manager and Affiliates believe that they have sufficient time and staff to be fully capable of discharging their responsibilities to the Company and to any other present or future activities.The Manager and/or its Affiliates serve and may serve in such capacity in other limited partnerships, limited liability companies, corporations or entities which will compete with the activities of the Company. The Manager and/or its Affiliates may have conflicts of interest in allocating Done 4U Investments, time, services and functions between other limited partnerships or ventures and this Company as well as any future limited partnerships or limited liability companies. The Manager believes that, together with its affiliates and any employees or agents which may be retained in the future, it has sufficient staff to be fully capable of discharging its responsibilities to this Company and any other present or future limited partnerships, limited liability companies, corporations or entities.The Operating Agreement provides that no contract, action or transaction is void or voidable with respect to the Company because it is between or affects the Company and one or more of its Members, Managers, or officers or because it is between or affects the Company and any other person in which one or more of its Members, managers or officers are Members, Managers, directors, trustees, or officers or have financial or personal interest, or because one or more interested Members, managers or officers participate in or vote at the meeting that authorizes the contracts, action, or transaction, provided certain circumstances apply.
(b) Compensation to Manager and Sponsor. This Offering involves compensation or benefits to the Manager and profit participation to the Sponsor.The Manager and Sponsor believe that the fees that the Company intends to pay are reasonable, in light of the tasks and risks undertaken, and will result in substantial benefits to the Class A Members.
(c) Lack of Independent Counsel. The Prospective Investors, Manager, Sponsor and the Company have not had separate legal counsel in connection with the formation of the Company, the acquisition of the Property and the offering of the Units; nor have the Prospective Investors been represented in preparation of the Operating Agreement. Therefore, the terms of such arrangements have not been determined on an arms-length basis. Prospective Investors should seek the advice of their own counsel.
(d) Liability of Members and Manager. Applicable state law and the Operating Agreement provide that the debts, obligations and liabilities of the Company, however or wherever arisen or derived, shall be solely those of the Company, and no Member of the Company shall be personally liable for the same to third parties solely by reason of his or her status as a Member, and that the failure of the Company to observe any formalities or requirements relating to the exercise of its powers or Done 4U Investments of its business or affairs shall not be grounds for imposing personal liability on Members for liabilities or obligations of the Company.
STANDARD OF CARE; INDEMNIFICATION
Standard of Care of Manager. California law provides that manager of a limited liability company shall perform their duties as manager in good faith, in a manner they reasonably believe to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and with the care that an ordinarily prudent person in a similar position would use under similar circumstances. This is in addition to the several duties and obligations of and limitations on the Manager as set forth in the Operating Agreement. To impose liability on a manager, however, it must be shown by clear and convincing evidence that the standard of care was not met by the Manager.It should be noted that the cost of litigation against any Manager for enforcement of the standard of care may be prohibitively high and that any judgment obtained may not be collectible since the Manager in not bonded and any judgment exceeding their net worth may not be collectible. An investment decision should be based on the judgment of an Investor as to the investment factors described in this Memorandum rather than reliance upon the value of the right to bring legal actions against or to control the activities of the Manager.Notwithstanding the standards of care obligations, the Manager has broad discretionary power under the terms of the Operating Agreement and under applicable state law to manage the affairs of the Company with the assistance, if desirable, of consultants or others retained for the account of the Company or the Manager. Generally, actions taken by the Manager are not subject to vote or review by the Members, except to the limited extent provided in the Operating Agreement.Indemnification. The Operating Agreement provides that the Company may, to the fullest extent not prohibited by the Company's Operating Agreement or any provisions of applicable law indemnify the Manager against any and all costs and expenses (including amounts paid in settlement, and other disbursements) actually and reasonably incurred by or imposed upon such person in connection with any action, suit, investigation or proceeding (or any claim or other matter therein), whether civil, criminal, administrative or otherwise in nature, including any settlements thereof or any appeal therein, with respect to which the Manager are named or otherwise becomes or is threatened to be made a party by reason of being or at any time having been a Manager of the Company or, at the direction or request of the Company, a manager, director, trustee, officer, employee, or agent of or fiduciary for any other limited liability company, corporation, partnership, trust, venture, or other entity or enterprise.Because there are provisions in the Operating Agreement for indemnification of the Manager, purchasers of Class A Units may have a more limited right of action than they would have absent such provision in the Operating Agreement. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising out of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, may not be provided to directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing, or otherwise, the Manager have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is contrary to public policy and is, therefore, unenforceable.
RESTRICTION ON TRANSFER
The Units have not been registered under the Act. The Units are being offered and will be sold in the absence of any registration under the Act, by reason of an exemption under Section 4(2) and/or Regulation D promulgated under the Act. The availability of such exemption is dependent, in part, upon the "investment intent" of each Investor and will not be available if any Investor purchases a Unit with a view toward its distribution. Accordingly, each Investor will be required to acknowledge that his purchase is being made for investment, for his own record and beneficial account, and without any view to the distribution thereof. A Unit may not be resold by a Member unless and until it is subsequently registered under the Act and applicable state securities laws or unless appropriate exemptions from registration are available.Investors have not been, and will not be, granted the right to require the registration of the Units under the Act and applicable state securities laws. Moreover, the Company has no intention to register the Units under federal securities laws (or to take any action to make exemptions from registration on resale or transfer available to the Investors) and, in view of the nature of the transaction, it is highly unlikely that there will be any such registration (or such action taken) at any time in the future. Accordingly, an Investor must bear the economic risk of an investment in a Unit for an indefinite period of time.If a Member wishes to dispose of his Units in a transaction not requiring registration under the Act and applicable state securities laws, such disposition is governed by, among other things, the terms of the Operating Agreement.Notwithstanding the foregoing, after the termination of the Offering no Unit or any part thereof may be assigned, sold, exchanged or transferred if such conveyance, together with the conveyance of all other Units assigned, sold, exchanged or otherwise transferred within the period of twelve (12) consecutive months prior thereto might result in the termination of the Company under the provisions of Section 708(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, or any successor statute, except as set forth in the Operating Agreement. Finally, no sale, exchange or other transfer or assignment of the whole or any portion of a Unit will be permitted without the prior written consent of the Members, which consent will be withheld if (a) all applicable Federal and state securities laws and regulations with respect to transfers of securities, including but not limited to the Act and the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, are not complied with to the satisfaction of the Members, or (b) in the sole opinion of counsel to the Company there will be adverse consequences to the Company or any of the non-transferring Members under any applicable Federal, state or local income tax laws or regulations, or (c) for any other reason in the sole discretion of the Members.
