In this report (this “Annual Report”), the term “CalTier” “we”, or “the company” refers to CalTier Fund I, LP.  The term “General Partner” refers to, CalTier, Inc., our General Partner.

 

Some of the statements in this Annual Report constitute forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements relate to expectations, beliefs, projections, future plans and strategies, anticipated events or trends and similar matters that are not historical facts. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “potential,” “should,” “will” and “would” or the negatives of these terms or other comparable terminology.

 

You should not place undue reliance on forward looking statements. The cautionary statements set forth in this Annual Report identify important factors which you should consider in evaluating our forward-looking statements. These factors include, among other things:

 

  overall strength and stability of general economic conditions and of the real estate industry more specifically;

 

  changes in the competitive environment, including new entrants;

 

  our ability to generate consistent revenues;

 

  our ability to effectively execute our business plan;

 

  changes in laws or regulations governing our business and operations;

 

  our ability to maintain adequate liquidity and financing sources and an appropriate level of debt on terms favorable to our company;

 

  costs and risks associated with litigation;

 

  changes in accounting principles, or their application or interpretation, and our ability to make estimates and the assumptions underlying the estimates, which could have an effect on earnings;

 

  other risks described from time to time in periodic and current reports that we file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

This list of factors that may affect future performance and the accuracy of forward-looking statements is illustrative, but not exhaustive. New risk factors and uncertainties not described here or elsewhere in this Annual Report may emerge from time to time. Moreover, because we operate in a competitive and rapidly changing environment, it is not possible for our management to predict all risk factors and uncertainties, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements we may make. The forward-looking statements are also subject to the risks and uncertainties specific to the company including but not limited to the fact that we have limited operating history and have limited number of management and other staff. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the future events and trends discussed in this Annual Report may not occur and actual results could differ materially and adversely from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements.

 

You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee that the future results, levels of activity, performance and events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements will be achieved or occur. Moreover, neither we nor any other person assume responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of the forward-looking statements.

 

This Annual Report contains estimates and statistical data that we obtained from industry publications and reports. These publications generally indicate that they have obtained their information from sources believed to be reliable, but do not guarantee the accuracy and completeness of their information, and you are cautioned not to give undue weight to such estimates. Although we believe the publications are reliable, we have not independently verified their data. In addition, projections, assumptions and estimates of our future performance and the future performance of the markets in which we operate are necessarily subject to a high degree of uncertainty and risk.

 

You should read this Annual Report with the understanding that our actual future results, levels of activity, performance and achievements may be materially different from what we expect.

 

Should one or more of the risks or uncertainties described in our Offering Circular for the 2023 Regulation A offering occur, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results and plans could differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements.

 

All forward-looking statements, expressed or implied, included in this Annual Report are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement. This cautionary statement should also be considered in connection with any subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements that we or persons acting on our behalf may issue.

 

Except as otherwise required by applicable law, we disclaim any duty to update any forward-looking statements, all of which are expressly qualified by the statements in this section, to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this report.

Investment strategy

 

Real estate properties are marketed as three different types of classes – Class A, Class B and Class C. These classes provide a shorthand way to describe attributes of properties. These are not exact classifications but generally real estate assets within a class have similar characteristics.

 

The highest quality buildings are Class A; some characteristics include that they tend to be:

 

  built within the past 15 years;

 

  low vacancy rates, high income tenants and high rents;

 

  desirable location and professionally managed; and

 

  no significant maintenance issues.

 

Class B is the next highest asset class, some characteristics include that they tend to be:

 

  older than Class A buildings;

 

  often higher vacancy rates and less affluent tenants;

 

  less desirable location than Class A buildings and they can be professionally managed; and

 

  there may be some maintenance issues.

 

This class is sometimes described as “value add” because with some renovations and improvements assets in this class can be elevated to a higher class.

 

The last asset class is Class C, some characteristics include that they tend to be:

 

  older than 20 years;

 

  less desirable locations and at times, poorly managed; and

 

  they have some maintenance issues.

 

Class C buildings may need significant investment in order for them to become reliably income producing.

 

Our focus will primarily be multi-family units that fall into the Class B and Class C categories. We intend to use substantially all of the proceeds of the 2023 Reg A Offering to acquire, manage, operate, leverage, and opportunistically sell multi-family rental properties and development projects through purchasing equity interests in those properties. In addition, we intend to leverage our interest in those properties through engaging in activities, through debt (including senior mortgage loans, subordinated mortgage loans (also referred to as B Notes), mezzanine loans, and participations in such loans), as well as commercial real estate debt securities and other real estate-related assets, where the underlying assets primarily consist of such properties. Even though our focus currently is multi-family rental properties that are Class B and Class C assets, our General Partner will evaluate our strategy at least once every six months. Our General Partner may determine for a variety of reasons (including the lack of available assets) to refocus our policy and we may look toward acquiring other types of real property. 

 

We seek to create and maintain a portfolio of multi-family rental properties and other project investments that generate a low volatility income stream of attractive and consistent cash flow. We intend to achieve this primarily through investment in multi-family value add properties. ‘Value add’ is in this case is defined as properties that may exhibit management or operational problems, require physical improvement and/or suffer from capital constraints. By addressing these issues, we seek to increase value and cash flow of our properties over time.

 

 7 

 

 

Our underwriting process, which our management team has successfully developed over their extensive real estate careers in a variety of market conditions and implemented at our General Partner, involves comprehensive financial, structural, operational and legal due diligence of our borrowers and partners in order to optimize pricing and structuring and mitigate risk. We feel the current and future market environment for multi-family rental properties and development projects (including any existing or future government-sponsored programs) provides a wide range of opportunities to generate compelling investments with strong risk-return profiles for our limited partners.

 

Investment objectives

 

Our primary investment objectives are:

 

  to grow the value of our investments;

 

  to grow net cash from operations so that an increasing amount of cash flow is available for distributions to investors over the long term;

 

  to pay attractive and consistent cash distributions;

 

  to enable investors to realize a return on their investment by beginning the process of liquidating and distributing cash to investors within approximately five years to seven years of the termination of the 2023 Reg A Offering, or providing liquidity through alternative means such as in-kind distributions of our own securities or other assets; and

 

  to preserve, protect and return your capital contribution.

 

We also seek to realize growth in the value of our investments by timing their sale to maximize value. However, there is no assurance that our investment objectives will be met.

 

Investment Strategy

 

Successful investment process takes careful planning and constant improvement in practices at every point along the path from creating the initial relationship through completing the acquisition. For greater clarity, the path is divided into several steps, some of which are highlighted below. While the investment process is important, it is just the first portion in the complete execution of the asset’s life-cycle, and must be considered in light of the asset management and disposition strategies.

 

Our Investment Process

 

Source Relationships

 

Consistent exposure to quality opportunities must begin with creating relationships with those that might have information concerning properties that are available for purchase.

 

Brokers

 

Real estate brokers will provide the widest net in that they are in the business of speaking with owners that may become sellers.

 

Property Owners

 

Establishing direct relationships with property owners will increase the likelihood of access to opportunities before they hit the market.

Identify Opportunities

 

Most submissions will go through an initial evaluation to gather market trends and data and to find a property that will fit our model.

 

Initial Evaluation

 

The starting process for considering an asset is done in the office, and involves a high level financial analysis of price, property rents, vacancy, market rents, potential physical improvements, current lending parameters and MSA dynamics.

 

Site Visit

 

When appropriate, a site visit will be conducted.

 

Advanced Evaluation

 

After property data is obtained a final re-evaluation of the asset’s potential is conducted. Assumptions made in the initial study are confirmed or adjusted as appropriate.

 

Investment Committee

 

The final deciding group is the Investment Committee. It is also the role of the Investment Committee to determine the appropriate time for acquisition and disposing of an asset.

 

Due Diligence

 

Due Diligence stage is the final evaluation, both confirming the information gathered regarding the asset including but not limited to estoppels and property financial records received once escrow is opened, and in completing in-depth review of physical characteristics, including structural reports, Phase I hazardous substance reports, mold evaluations if concerns exist, etc.

 

Close Escrow

 

The transaction is completed only after all due diligence is done and the returns are consistent with the terms approved.

 

Partnership Selection (for Joint-Venture Investments)

 

We place significant value on our partnerships. Because of this, we conduct extensive due diligence on each partner we may make an investment with as a joint-venture investment. Typically, we look for the following when conducting this due diligence:

 

  1. Years of experience in the management team.

 

  2. Successful deals completed.

 

  3. Complimentary focus of their portfolio with ours.

 

  4. Valuation, cash flow and financial stability.

 

  5. Values, mission and aligned goals.

 

Each partnership is different and we evaluate each one on a case by case basis and then determine if we wish to partner with them at the discretion of the General Partner

Market Outlook — Multi-Family Real Estate Market

 

Based on our understanding of the multi-family real estate market, we believe that existing apartments will continue to do quite well in terms of occupancy (i.e., 95%+ occupancy rate), but it may not be possible to push up rents as vigorously as in years past.  Demand for multi-family rental units has been quite robust over the past year due to pent-up demand, rising interest rates, and lack of supply. A Freddie Mac report released in 2021 showed a 3.8 million unit shortage that may take over a decade to correct. Areas such as Los Angeles, which is estimated to be over 390,000 units short; Salt Lake City, which is estimated to be over 27,000 units short; and San Antonio, which is estimated to be over 54,000 units short, demonstrates there is a need for rental units. We anticipate this trend to continue over the next 5-10 years, which will help in keeping occupancy and rent up even if prices drop.

 

Within real estate, performance has diverged significantly between sectors, and we are encouraged by our focus on residential and multifamily class B and C assets where we anticipate continued demand growth. While the impacts of the market, the war in Ukraine, and inflation are currently unpredictable; it is possible that there will be a negative impact, both the U.S. and world economy. In such a scenario, while uncertain, we expect that our current strategies, centered around real estate with intrinsic value (residential logistics) and inherent limited supply, are likely to perform as well or better than most other strategies.

 

In summary, we believe that as an asset class, multi-family assets in core-plus areas in the United States will continue to benefit from appealing risk-adjusted returns. Our understanding is that even through the volatility of the markets, the fundamental demand for housing coupled with population growth, make apartments a relatively safe option for investment capital.

Our ability to produce revenues will rely on several factors including and not limited to sourcing and acquiring properties to develop and the real estate market once we have developed the properties.

 

We will compete with other organizations that invest in multi-family real estate assets, including real estate acquisition funds, REITs (e.g., Fundrise), individuals, corporations, insurance companies, pension funds, partnerships and private funds, for both the properties to development as well as for buyers and tenants once the properties have been developed. Some of these entities have more resources than ours.

 

Legal Proceedings

 

The company is not involved in any litigation, and its management is not aware of any pending or threatened legal actions relating to its intellectual property, conduct of its business activities, or otherwise.

 

Risk Factors

 

We face risks and uncertainties that could affect us and our business as well as the real estate industry generally. These risks are outlined under the heading “Risk Factors” contained in our latest offering circular filed with the SEC (the “Offering Circular”), which may be accessed here, as the same may be updated from time to time by our future filings under Regulation A. In addition, new risks may emerge at any time and we cannot predict such risks or estimate the extent to which they may affect our financial performance. These risks could result in a decrease in the value of our units.

 

Investment Policies

 

The company will focus on investing in Class B and Class C multi-family properties in the United States. CalTier Inc., will act as the General Partner of the company. Though the company may receive capital gains from these properties, the goal of the company will be to purchase properties for rental income.

 

The company will focus on investing in multi-family projects utilizing both equity and debt. Specifically, the company will focus on investing in B class and C class properties. The company will typically invest in properties with a purchase price in the $6 million to $30 million range. The General Partner will revisit this strategy at least every six months.

 

 10 

 

 

The company may acquire an interest in commercial real estate in a variety of ways, including but not limited to:

 

  purchasing fee simple title to a property;

 

  purchasing a note (performing or non-performing) secured by a property through negotiated lender sales and/or auctions;

 

  providing straight debt or convertible debt to an owner of a property; or

 

  purchasing a partnership or membership interest (including minority interests) in a special purpose entity that owns a property.

 

To the extent that the company acquires minority interests in special purpose entities it will need to structure those acquisitions in such a way as to not trigger the definition of an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940.

 

It is contemplated that the company may use leverage (secured debt or short-term lines of credit) to acquire properties. The company will seek to keep the company’s overall portfolio leverage ratio to 65% or less (75% or less, if mezzanine debt is obtained). The foregoing targets exclude short term lines of credit.

 

The primary focus for the company is multi-family income properties. However, the company may also make investments in ground up developments, secondary markets, other real estate and non-real estate backed securities and the like. The company will not invest in mobile home parks, hospitals or agricultural properties.

 

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

We are a Delaware limited partnership formed to acquire and manage a portfolio of multi-family properties and other real estate-related investments which may be wholly or fractionally owned. In addition, we may acquire debt or preferred equity securities that meet our investment objectives.

 

We plan to diversify our portfolio by investment type, investment size and investment risk with the goal of constructing a portfolio of real estate assets that provides stable, attractive returns to our investors. We may make our investments through direct ownership in real estate assets or in partnership with companies with investment objectives similar to ours.

 

CalTier Inc. is the General Partner of the company. CalTier Inc. is responsible for managing our day-to-day operations and our portfolio of real estate and other real estate-related assets. CalTier Inc. also has the authority to make all of the decisions regarding our investments (subject to the limitations in our Limited Partnership Agreement) and the direction and their oversight. CalTier Inc. and/or other affiliates of our General Partner will provide marketing, investor relations and other administrative services on our behalf. CalTier Inc. is the owner of CalTier Advisors, LLC, which is an internet investment adviser registered with the SEC.

Results of Operations

 

For the Years Ended December 31, 2022 and 2021

 

For the year ended December 31, 2022, our investments produced revenues of $84,741, compared to $0 for the year ended December 31, 2021. Investment income for the year ended December 31, 2022 was comprised primarily of rental income produced by our existing portfolio of directly owned and jointly-owned properties. In particular, the company received $75,013 in rental income from the Legend Condominium for the year ended December 31, 2022, which the company acquired in November 2021. By the end of 2021, the company had only made limited investments in real estate, which had not yet produced revenues. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the company acquired and/or invested in a significantly greater number of properties, which is the primary driver behind the increase in investment income in 2022 compared to 2021.

 

We had total expenses of $1,761,180 for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to $433,148 for the year ended December 31, 2021. The largest component of our operating expenses for both the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 were professional and other fees, which were $1,645,825 for the year ended December 31, 2022, and were primarily comprised of marketing expenses related to capital raising in our Prior Reg A Offering, as well as other offering expenses, property taxes, legal, audit, and accounting expenses. These fees increased significantly in 2022 as a result of increasing our marketing spending in an effort to grow the company, as well as receiving additional proceeds from our Prior Reg A Offering which allowed us to put more funds towards growing our company. Additionally, as our operations grew, we incurred more expenses related to marketing, audits, and accounting. The second largest component of operating expenses was management fees (paid to our General Partner, CalTier, Inc., which were largely comprised of Asset Management Fees paid to the General Partner in both periods), followed by interest fees paid on the company’s outstanding loan payable, currently held by Velocity. Our operating expenses significantly increased in all of these categories for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to the year ended December 31, 2021 primarily due to our increased operations in 2022 compared to 2021, which led to both increased revenues from investments, but also increased operating expenses.

 

As a result of the foregoing factors, we incurred a net loss of $1,557,246 for the year ended December 31, 2022, a significant increase compared to a net loss of $415,999 for the year ended December 31, 2021

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of December 31, 2022, we had $177,222 in cash on hand, as well as $398,905 in receivables from escrow, representing investments from our Prior Reg A Offering that we had not yet closed upon as of December 31, 2022.

 

On or about November 18, 2019, we commenced an offering pursuant to Tier 2 of Regulation A seeking to raise up to $50 million from the sale of “units” representing limited liability company interests in our company (the “Prior Reg A Offering”). We terminated the offering in February 2023. In the Prior Reg A Offering, we sold approximately 865,488 units for a total of $4,327,442 in gross proceeds.

 

On February 17, 2023, we commenced a new offering pursuant to Tier 2 of Regulation A seeking to raise up to $72 million from the sale of “units” representing limited liability company interests in our company (the “2023 Reg A Offering”). As of the date of this Annual Report, we have sold approximately 89,466 units for a total of $447,333 in the 2023 Reg A Offering.

 

We are reliant upon the net proceeds from the 2023 Reg A Offering, to continue to make investments in real estate. In addition to those proceeds, we have and intend to obtain the required capital to make investments in real estate through a variety of resources, including using leverage (secured debt or short-term lines of credit) to acquire properties. We intend to keep the company’s overall portfolio leverage ratio at 65% or less. The foregoing targets exclude short-term lines of credit, specifically, the company may obtain lines of credit to provide working capital and to fund acquisitions. No debt is or will be recourse to the limited partners.

Subsequent to December 31, 2022, we have made the following investments and/or entered into agreements to make the following investments:

 

Avenue Grove

 

In February 2023, the company purchased 0.3% interest in Avenue Grove for a purchase price of $200,000. Avenue Grove is a 270-unit concrete apartment complex and sole residential community at the doorstep of Levy Park, a vibrant urban greenspace located in Houston, Texas.  The property is walkable to Houston’s most prestigious neighborhoods, popular employment centers, and top-tier retail and entertainment centers. The property is currently revenue producing, and the company is entitled to a proportionate share of revenues produced by the property based on its ownership interest. As of the date of this Annual Report, the company has not received revenues from its investment in Avenue Grove. The company expects its first revenues from this investment will be earned in Q3 of 2023.

 

Hickory Point

 

In February 2023, the company purchased 3.125% interest in Hickory Point, a 175-unit apartment complex located in Newport News, Virginia, one of the better performing submarkets in the greater Richmond, Virginia region. The property consists of 2-3 townhome-style units and is well-positioned less than one mile from the Fort Eustis station gate, which provides support to over 50,000 active duty military members. We believe the property has great value-add potential and is anticipated to be revenue producing. The company is entitled to a proportionate share of revenues produced by the property based on its ownership interest. As of the date of this Annual Report, the company has not received revenues from its investment in Hickory. The company expects its first revenues from this investment will be earned in Q3 of 2023.

 

Share Price

 

Our General Partner set our initial offering price at $5.00 per unit. Thereafter, the per unit purchase price in the 2023 Reg A Offering will be adjusted every fiscal quarter and, as of July 1, October 1, January 1, and April 1, of each year (or as soon as commercially reasonable and announced by us thereafter), will be equal to the greater of (i) $5.00 per unit or (ii) our net asset value (“NAV”) divided by the number of units outstanding as of the close of business on the last business day of the prior fiscal quarter, in each case prior to giving effect to any share purchases or redemptions to be effected on such day.

 

As of June 30, 2022, September 30, 2022, December 31, 2022, and March 31, 2023, our Net Asset Value (“NAV”) per unit was $5.00. This NAV per unit will be effective through June 30, 2023 (or as soon as commercially reasonable thereafter), unless updated by us prior to that time.

 

Distributions

 

As December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had paid $130,291 and $5,371, respectively, in distributions to our investors. As our company’s assets grow, we intend to continue making distributions to our investors.

 

In addition to funds being allocated to expenses and making distributions to investors, certain funds, including during our offering stage will be distributed to our General Partner to offset certain organization and offering related fees.

Indebtedness

 

The company entered into a Borrower Agreement with Forbix Capital Corp. (“Forbix”) on November 16, 2021. Under the terms of the agreement, the company received a $530,000 loan from Forbix, $17,895 of which was used to pay an origination fee to Forbix. The term of the loan was until May 15, 2021, at which point the loan was due for repayment. The company was required to pay 8.95% per annum in interest. The company did not repay the loan by its maturity date. On August 8, 2022, the company entered into a refinancing related to this loan with Velocity Mortgage Capital, LLC. As a result of this refinancing, the company entered into a Loan Agreement with Velocity Mortgage Capital, pursuant to which the company issued Velocity Mortgage Capital a promissory note in the total principal amount of $600,000, which accrues interest at 9.86% per annum. The $600,000 loan amount includes the payoff of the amount due under the loan due to Forbix, origination fees payable to Velocity Mortgage Capital in connection with the loan, property improvement and management, taxes, insurance, and other related costs. Monthly payments to Velocity Mortgage Capital of principal and interest on the loan commence on October 1, 2022, with full repayment due by September 1, 2052. As of December 31, 2022, the balance due on this loan was $587,177. It is still outstanding as of the date of this Annual Report. A copy of this Loan Agreement and Promissory Note with Velocity Mortgage Capital is filed as Exhibit 6.1 to Annual Report.

 

Trends

 

We continue to identify and pursue potential assets, primarily multi-family value-add, as we believe this asset class to have high demand regardless of overall market and demand fluctuations. In the United States, there is a currently a nationwide shortfall of new multi-family homes, and current housing development efforts in the U.S. is not projected to meet the demand for housing going forward. With rising interest rates and the unaffordability of single-family home prices, we believe there is need for clean and affordable multi-family housing that we intend to capitalize upon.

 

The company continues to invest and expand our portfolio of real estate investments. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources – Our Investments” above for more information on investments we have made to date.

From time to time, the General Partner incurs expenses on the company’s behalf, including, but not limited to, organizational and offering expenses. Such amounts are reimbursable to the General Partner by the company, and are owed to the General Partner until such time as the General Partner is reimbursed by the company for those amounts.

We are subject to various conflicts of interest arising out of our relationship with our General Partner and its affiliates. We discuss these conflicts below.

 

Our General Partner and affiliates are not currently officers, directors, General Partners, key professionals and/or holders of a direct or indirect controlling interest in other investment companies but may do so in the future. However, some of our affiliates are officers, General Partners, key professionals and/or holders of a direct or indirect controlling interest in other companies that way may apply to assist in the financing our acquisitions and projects.

 

Investment Opportunities

 

We rely on the investment professionals in the General Partner to source investment opportunities. These same individuals may source opportunities for themselves, other companies that they are affiliated with and other companies that are managed by the General Partner. Though our General Partner does not currently have other companies investing in the type of investment, our General Partner may in the future develop similar companies with a similar objective. In order to ameliorate this conflict we will aim to not have our acquisition stages overlap with other investment vehicles of the General Partner and we instituted conflicts of interest properties.

 

Competition for Tenants, Buyers and Service Providers

 

We may compete with other multi-family property owners as well as future companies that our General Partner will manage for potential tenants, buyers and service providers for the properties we develop. Further we may our properties may be in competition to be sold or we may compete for the services in the same developers, contractors, building General Partners or other third parties. In such case, we may not be able to fully mitigate our conflict; however, to reduce conflicts, our plan would be to inform the third party of all the potential properties, as appropriate.

 

Allocation of Time

 

We rely on the personnel of the General Partner and its affiliates for the development, management and our day-to-day operation of business. The individual are also the same individual who work with the other companies managed by our General Partner and its affiliates. Therefore, these individuals will need to allocate their time between the various entities and our not obligated to set aside a fixed amount of time for work for this company. That said, we believe that these professionals will have enough time to devote to the various entities. Further, because real estate requires a specialized skill set, we believe utilizing these professional does create certain efficiencies. However, should we discover that we lack the personnel resources to appropriate manage our business, our General Partner intend to hire staff as required.

Compensation

 

In the future some of the General Partner’s executive officers may be principals in a company providing property management and other services to us, including financing services. Fees for services of the General Partner and affiliates to the company are not the result of arm’s length negotiations. The current set up of the fees could impact their judgment including with respect to the sale of real estate investments, the acquisition of real estate, and the continuation, renewal or enforcement of our agreements with our General Partner or its affiliates.

 

Duties Owed by Some of Our Affiliates to Our General and our General Partners’ Affiliates

 

Our General Partner’s affiliates are also officers, directors, managers and/or key professionals of related and unrelated businesses. As a result, they owe duties to each of these entities and their respective members. These duties may from time to time conflict with the duties that they owe to us.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

 

 

To the Board of Directors and Partners
of CalTier Fund I, LP

  

Opinion

 

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of CalTier Fund I, LP, a Delaware limited partnership, which comprise the statements of financial condition, including the schedule of investments, as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the related statements of operations, changes in partners’ capital (deficit), and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of CalTier Fund I, LP as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

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

 

Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements

 

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

 

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

 

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

·Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of CalTier Fund I, LP’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.

 

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

 

·Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about CalTier Fund I, LP’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

 

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

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1 – Nature of Operations

 

Nature of Operations

 

CalTier Fund I, LP (the “Partnership”), was formed on January 23, 2019 and is organized as a Delaware limited partnership formed to invest primarily in multi-family real estate properties in the West, Southwest, and Midwest United States. The Partnership is managed by CalTier, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “General Partner”). The General Partner was formed in 2017 as a California limited liability company to be a fund management and real estate acquisition Partnership focusing on acquiring assets either on its own behalf or with strategic partner(s). The Partnership was formed to raise funds under Regulation A of Title IV of the Jobs Act. In 2022, the General Partner converted into a Delaware corporation. The Partnership intends to raise up to $70 million from a wide range of individual and institutional investors, with a primary focus on individual non-accredited investors, to acquire multi-family and commercial real estate. Each Limited Partner’s liability is limited to the Partner’s capital contribution.

 

In 2021, the Partnership began purchasing investments in other real estate investments to provide some return to current investors as it continues its capital raising efforts. The Partnership has commenced its planned principal operations, it will incur significant additional expenses. The Partnership is dependent upon additional capital resources for the commencement of its planned principal operations and is subject to significant risks and uncertainties; including failing to secure funding to operationalize the Partnership’s planned operations or failing to profitably operate the business.

 

The Partnership’s investment period will commence on the date of the initial closing and expires on the earlier of: (i) the date at which the maximum offering amount has been sold, (ii) the date which is one year from this offering being qualified by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and (iii) the date at which the offering is terminated by the General Partner. The Partnership shall continue indefinitely unless all investments are sold and distributions made to the Limited Partners or at the sole discretion of the General Partner at any point in time.

 

NOTE 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The Partnership is an investment Partnership and follows the accounting and reporting guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates and assumptions reflected in the financial statements include, but are not limited to, the fair value of the investments and unrealized gains/loss on those investments. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Concentration of Cash Balances

 

The Partnership considers cash equivalents to be all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased. The Partnership’s cash and cash equivalents in bank accounts, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Partnership has not experienced any losses due to these limits.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

 

Investments

 

Investments are carried at fair value. Costs to acquire investments are capitalized as a component of investment cost. The fair values of real estate and real estate related investments are estimated based on the price that would be received to sell an asset in an orderly transaction between marketplace participants at the measurement date. Investments without a public market are valued based on assumptions made and valuation techniques used by the General Partner. Such valuation techniques include discounted cash flow analysis, prevailing market capitalization rates or earnings multiples applied to earnings from the investment, analysis of recent comparable sales transactions, recent comparable sales transactions, actual sale negotiations and bona fide purchase offers received from third parties, consideration of the amount that currently would be required to replace the asset, as well as independent external appraisals. In general, the General Partner considers multiple valuation techniques when measuring the fair value of an investment. However, in certain circumstances, a single valuation technique may be appropriate.

 

Purchases and sales of investments are recorded on a transaction basis. Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are determined based upon the specific identification method. The difference between cost and the fair value of investments is reflected as unrealized gains/(losses) on investment. Changes in fair value of the investment from the prior year are included as net unrealized gain on investment in the accompanying statement of operations.

 

Rental income from investment property is recognized as investment income in the accompanying statement of operations on a straight-line basis over the terms of the lease.

 

Distributions that represent returns of capital in excess of cumulative profits and losses are credited to investment cost rather than investment income. Any amounts to a lesser extent are reported as investment income in the accompanying statement of operations.

 

The fair value of investments does not reflect the Partnership’s transaction sale costs, which may be incurred upon disposition of the real estate investments. Such costs are estimated to approximate 2% - 3% of fair value. The Partnership also reflects its equity investments net of investment level financing. Valuation adjustments attributable to underlying financing arrangements are considered in the equity valuation.

 

The Partnership may invest in real estate and real estate related investments for which no liquid market exists. The market prices for such investments may be volatile and may not be readily ascertainable. In addition, there continues to be significant disruptions in the global capital, credit and real estate markets. These disruptions have led to, among other things, a significant decline in the volume of transaction activity, in the fair value of many real estate and real estate related investments, and a significant contraction in short-term and long-term debt and equity funding sources. This contraction in capital includes sources that the Partnership may depend on to finance certain of its investments. These market developments have had a significant adverse impact on the Partnership’s liquidity position, results of operations and financial condition and may continue to adversely impact the Partnership if market conditions continue to deteriorate. The decline in liquidity and prices of real estate and real estate related investments, as well as the availability of observable transaction data and inputs, may have made it more difficult to determine the fair value of such investments. As a result, amounts ultimately realized by the Partnership from investments sold may differ from the fair values presented, and the differences could be material.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

 

Fair Value Measurement

 

FASB guidance specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect market assumptions. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

 

Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 1 primarily consists of financial instruments whose value is based on quoted market prices such as exchange-traded instruments and listed equities.

 

Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly (e.g., quoted prices of similar assets or liabilities in active markets, or quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active).

 

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. Financial instruments are considered Level 3 when their fair values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flows or similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable.

 

The investments in real estate will fall into Level 3 category, therefore, fair-value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of the reporting date.

 

Receivables from Escrow

 

The Partnership uses a third-party escrow company that collects investor contributions. Amounts not remitted to the Partnership at a point in time are reported as receivables from escrow.

 

Organizational Costs

 

In accordance with FASB ASC 720, Other Expenses, organizational costs, including accounting fees, legal fees, and costs of incorporation, are expensed as incurred.

 

Advertising Costs

 

The Partnership expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising costs expensed during the year ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 were $1,369,624 and $226,987, respectively.

 

Risks and Uncertainties

 

The Partnership has no operating history and has not generated revenue from operations. The Partnership’s business and operations are sensitive to general business and economic conditions in the U.S. and worldwide along with local, state, and federal governmental policy decisions. A host of factors beyond the Partnership’s control could cause fluctuations in these conditions, including but not limited to: its ability to raise sufficient funds from investors to acquire multi-family and commercial real estate, the availability of suitable real estate properties to acquire, and changes to Regulation A. Adverse developments in these general business and economic conditions could have a material adverse effect on the Partnership’s financial conditions and the results of operations.

NOTE 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

 

Deferred Offering Costs

 

The Partnership complies with the requirements of FASB ASC 946-20-25, Financial Services – Investment Companies and FASB ASC 340-10-S99-1 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) Topic 5A - Expenses of Offering. Deferred offering costs consist principally of accounting and legal fees incurred in connection with an offering the Partnership intends to fully commence its intended during 2022 under Regulation A. Prior to the completion of the offering, these costs are capitalized as deferred offering costs on the Statements of Financial Condition. The deferred offering costs will be charged against proceeds from Partner contributions upon the completion of the offering or to expense if the offering is not completed further. Deferred offerings costs of $77,838 and $77,838, are capitalized to the Statements of Financial Condition as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Partnership is a limited liability partnership. Accordingly, under the Internal Revenue Code, all taxable income or loss flows through to its partners. Therefore, no provision for income tax has been recorded in the statements. Income from the Partnership is reported and taxed to the Partners on their individual tax returns.

 

The Partnership complies with FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes, (“FASB ASC 740”) for accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements, which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. FASB ASC 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. Based on the Partnership’s evaluation, it has been concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Partnership’s financial statements. The Partnership believes that its income tax positions would be sustained on audit and does not anticipate any adjustments that would result in a material change to its financial position.

 

The Partnership may in the future become subject to federal, state and local income taxation though it has not been since its inception. The Partnership is not presently subject to any income tax audit in any taxing jurisdiction. All years are open for tax examinations.

 

Subsequent Events

 

The Partnership invested $400,000 in two real estate related investments in February 2023.

 

The Partnership evaluated all significant events or transactions that occurred through May 12, 2023, the date these financial statements were available to be issued.

 

NOTE 3 – Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates

 

Reimbursement of Organization and Offering Expenses

 

The Partnership’s General Partner and its affiliates are reimbursed for actual organizational and offering expenses incurred. Organization and offering expenses consist of the actual legal, accounting, printing, marketing, advertising, filing fees, any transfer agent costs and other accountable offering-related expenses which were incurred prior to the inception of the Partnership.

 

Deferred offering costs of $77,838 and $77,838, along with other general expenses were incurred by a related party on the Partnership’s behalf and are shown as advances from related parties on the Statements of Financial Condition and amounted to $401,053 and $294,332 at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. This related party advances are unsecured, interest-free, and repayable on demand.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 4 – Investments and Fair Value

 

When available, the Partnership utilizes quoted market prices from independent third-party sources to determine fair value. In instances where the market for a financial instrument is not active, regardless of the availability of a nonbinding quoted market price, observable inputs might not be relevant and could require the Partnership to make a significant adjustment to derive a fair value measurement. Additionally, in an inactive market, a market price quoted from an independent third party may rely more on models with inputs based on information available only to that independent third party. When the Partnership determines the market for a financial instrument owned by the Partnership be illiquid or when market transactions for similar instruments do not appear orderly, the Partnership uses several valuation sources (including internal valuations, discounted cash flow analysis and quoted market prices) and establishes a fair value by assigning weights to the various valuation sources.

 

The Partnership internally valued certain investments based on overall changes in market conditions and comparable sales data within each of the markets the investment was made due to the relative short term the investment is intended to be held. Other investments were valued at cost as they were purchased within a few months before year end. Changes in assumptions or estimation methodologies can have a material effect on these estimated fair values. In this regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instrument.
