Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company

 

The company is not subject to the ongoing reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) because the company is not registering its securities under the Exchange Act.  Rather, the company will be subject to the more limited reporting requirements under Regulation A, including the obligation to electronically file:

 

annual reports (including disclosure relating to our business operations for the preceding two fiscal years, or, if in existence for less than two years, since inception, related party transactions, beneficial ownership of the issuer’s securities, executive officers and directors and certain executive compensation information, management’s discussion and analysis (“MD&A”) of the issuer’s liquidity, capital resources, and results of operations, and two years of audited financial statements),

 

semiannual reports (including disclosure primarily relating to the issuer’s interim financial statements and MD&A) and

 

current reports for certain material events.

 

In addition, at any time after completing reporting for the fiscal year in which the company’s offering statement was qualified, if the securities of each class to which this offering statement relates are held of record by fewer than 300 persons and offers or sales are not ongoing, the company may immediately suspend its ongoing reporting obligations under Regulation A.

 

If and when the company becomes subject to the ongoing reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, as an issuer with less than $1.07 billion in total annual gross revenues during its last fiscal year, it will qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”) and this status will be significant. An emerging growth company may take advantage of certain reduced reporting requirements and is relieved of certain other significant requirements that are otherwise generally applicable to public companies. In particular, as an emerging growth company, the company:

 

will not be required to obtain an auditor attestation on its internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002;

 

will not be required to provide a detailed narrative disclosure discussing its compensation principles, objectives and elements and analyzing how those elements fit with its principles and objectives (commonly referred to as “compensation discussion and analysis”);

 

will not be required to obtain a non-binding advisory vote from its unit holders on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements (commonly referred to as the “say-on-pay,” “say-on-frequency” and “say-on-golden-parachute” votes);

 

will be exempt from certain executive compensation disclosure provisions requiring a pay-for-performance graph and CEO pay ratio disclosure;

 

may present only two years of audited financial statements and only two years of related Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, or MD&A; and

 

will be eligible to claim longer phase-in periods for the adoption of new or revised financial accounting standards.

 

The company intends to take advantage of all of these reduced reporting requirements and exemptions, including the longer phase-in periods for the adoption of new or revised financial accounting standards under Section 107 of the JOBS Act. The company’s election to use the phase-in periods may make it difficult to compare its financial statements to those of non-emerging growth companies and other emerging growth companies that have opted out of the phase-in periods under Section 107 of the JOBS Act.

 

Under the JOBS Act, the company may take advantage of the above-described reduced reporting requirements and exemptions for up to five years after its initial sale of common equity pursuant to a registration statement declared effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or such earlier time that the company no longer meets the definition of an emerging growth company. Note that this offering, while a public offering, is not a sale of common equity pursuant to a registration statement, since the offering is conducted pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements. In this regard, the JOBS Act provides that the company would cease to be an “emerging growth company” if it has more than $1.07 billion in annual revenues, have more than $700 million in market value of its common stock held by non-affiliates, or issue more than $1 billion in principal amount of non-convertible debt over a three-year period.

 

Certain of these reduced reporting requirements and exemptions are also available to us due to the fact that the company may also qualify, once listed, as a “smaller reporting company” under the Commission’s rules. For instance, smaller reporting companies are not required to obtain an auditor attestation on their assessment of internal control over financial reporting; are not required to provide a compensation discussion and analysis; are not required to provide a pay-for-performance graph or CEO pay ratio disclosure; and may present only two years of audited financial statements and related MD&A disclosure.

SUMMARY

 

This summary highlights information contained elsewhere and does not contain all of the information that you should consider in making your investment decision. Before investing in the company’s Series Interests, you should carefully read this entire Offering Circular, including the company’s financial statements and related notes. You should also consider, among other information, the matters described under “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

 

The Company

 

Mansion Collection I LLC, a Delaware series limited liability company formed on December 15, 2022 (“Mansion Collection”), is a wholly owned subsidiary of Mansion Group, Inc. a Delaware corporation (“Mansion Group”). Mansion Collection is an investment vehicle which intends to enable investors to own fractional ownership of a specific short-term rental property. This lowers the cost-of-entry and minimizes the time commitment for real estate investing. An investment in the company entitles the investor to the potential economic and tax benefits normally associated with direct property ownership, while requiring no investor involvement in asset or property management.

 

The company intends to establish separate Series for the holding of short-term rental properties to be acquired by the company. Notably, the debts, liabilities and obligations incurred, contracted for or otherwise existing with respect to a particular Series of the company will be enforceable against the assets of the applicable Series only, and not against the assets of the company. In addition, Mansion Group will manage all Underlying Assets (defined below) related to the various Series including the sales of property, property short-term bookings, maintenance and insurance. In its sole capacity Mansion Group may delegate some or all of these responsibilities.

 

It is not anticipated that any Series would own any assets other than its respective real estate property and associated assets, the reason for which the applicable Series was created (“The Underlying Asset(s)”), plus cash reserves for maintenance, storage, insurance and other expenses pertaining to such Underlying Assets and amounts earned by each Series from the monetization of the Underlying Asset. It is intended that owners of a Series Interest in a Series will only have assets, liabilities, profits and losses pertaining to the specific Underlying Assets owned by that Series, which would include the allocated portion of shared fees, costs and expenses which our managing member has allocated to such Series as discussed under “The Company’s Business – Allocations of Expenses.”

 

For example, an investor who acquires Series Interests in the Baroness CLT, a series of Mansion Collection I LLC, (“Baroness”) will only have assets, liabilities, profits and losses pertaining to the property located at 405 Johnston Drive Pineville, NC 28134.

 

Mansion Life PM, a subsidiary of Mansion Group, will serve as the property manager responsible for managing each Series’ Underlying Assets (the “Property Manager”) as described in the Property Management Agreements between Mansion Life PM and the respective Series (“the “Property Management Agreement”).

 

Mansion Group will serve as the managing member (the “Managing Member”) responsible for the day-to-day management of the company and each Series. Each Series may purchase the property from: (i) a third party, (ii) a related third party, such as is the case with the Baroness Series, (iii) or from Mansion Group or a subsidiary.

Our Series LLC Structure

 

Each property that we acquire will be owned by a separate series of our company that we will establish to acquire that property. As a Delaware series limited liability company, the debts, liabilities, obligations and expenses incurred, contracted for or otherwise existing with respect to a particular series are segregated and enforceable only against the assets of such series, as provided under Delaware law. This would include contractual obligations under the Property Management Agreement that each Series will enter into with respect to the management of the specific property. This would also include the portion of any shared fees, costs or expenses that have been allocated to the Series, as discussed above and under “The Company’s Business – Allocations of Expenses.”

 

For ease of understanding the company’s business structure, we have included the organizational chart below:

 

 

  

Noteworthy information:

 

Mansion Life Properties NC LLC has entered into a separate Property Management Agreement with each existing Series.

 

Mansion Collection Charlotte LLC (“MCC”) is managed by Mansion Collection Advisors. Mansion Group is the managing member of Mansion Collection Advisors. John Sutton, the Chief Executive Officer of Mansion Group owns 55% of the membership interests in MCC. On June 11, 2023 the Series Baroness entered into a Purchase Agreement with MCC to acquire the property located at 405 Johnston Drive Pineville, NC 28134.

 

We source properties from public listings of properties for sale in geographic areas that we determine have desirable characteristics for short-term rentals. We consider factors such as: (i) location, (ii) historical sales, (iii) quality and design of a home, (iv) competitive landscape, (v) tourism, (vi) access to international airports, and (vii) the balance of tourism and permanent residents.

 

Once Mansion Group identifies a property and agrees a price with the sellers, it or one of its controlled affiliates will enter into a purchase agreement for the property. Generally, Mansion Group expects to assign the contract to the relevant Series for the purchase of a specific residential property directly by the Series. However, there may be circumstances or timing considerations that result in Mansion Group or one of its wholly owned subsidiaries acquiring the property directly for further sale to the Series once sufficient funding has been obtained.

 

In cases where the Series purchases the property directly from a third-party Seller, it would use the proceeds of the offering for that Series to purchase the property and may finance a portion of the purchase price with mortgage or other third-party financing. If the purchase agreement for the property does not include a financing condition or the financing contingency has expired and the closing for the property occurs prior to sufficient minimum proceeds being received, Mansion Group or an affiliate may provide a loan to the Series, upon the terms described under “The Company’s Business – Intended Business Process” below, to finance all or part of the purchase price of the property that would be repaid with the proceeds of the offering. The remaining proceeds of the offering for a Series would be used by the Series first to fund any anticipated renovation costs and furnishing expenses for the property to prepare it for rent, then to pay the sourcing fee to our Managing Member and the remainder held by the Series as operating reserves, depending on the amount raised in the offering for that Series.

 

4

 

 

If Mansion Group or one of its affiliates purchases the property directly, then, after the relevant Series has obtained sufficient financing, that Series would purchase the property for an amount equal to the original purchase price (including closing costs) plus holding costs, renovation costs and furnishing expenses actually incurred by Mansion Group prior to the sale to the Series. Any remaining proceeds from offering of such Series would be first allocated to pay the sourcing fee and the remainder held by the Series as operating reserves.

 

Distributions

 

We intend to distribute 100% of the Free Cash Flows of a Series, after reimbursing Mansion Life PM, as Property Manager, for expenses incurred on behalf of a Series, plus accrued interest, and creating such reserves as the Managing Member deems necessary. A Series’ net income, and therefore, its Free Cash Flows, will be reduced by the expenses of that Series, including the following fees paid to our Managing Member and its affiliates:

 

Property Management Fee, paid to Mansion Life PM

 

We and Mansion Group generally seek to set these fees to be comparable to prevailing market rates for the management of short-term rental properties in the relevant geographic area. Currently these fees amount to 25 or 30% of the Gross Receipts of the Series. The Baroness series has agreed to pay Mansion Life PM 15% of the Gross Receipts of the Series

 

Asset Management Fee, paid to the Managing Member of each Series

 

A quarterly fee equal to 0.25% (1% annually) of the capital contributions to the Series

 

Sourcing Fee, paid to the Managing Member of each Series

 

Any portion of the sourcing fee for the Series that is not funded by the proceeds of the Series offering and that is booked as an expense of the Series, at the company’s and Mansion Group’s discretion. Please see “Use of Proceeds” for the sourcing fee applicable to each specific Series

 

We and Mansion Group determined these fees internally without any independent assessment of comparable market fees. As a result, they may be higher than those available from unaffiliated third parties. After payment of all of the above fees, all other cash expenses and capital expenditures by the Series, it may not generate sufficient revenue to produce any Free Cash Flows or make distributions to investors.

 

Please see below and “Securities Being Offered – Distributions” for a more detailed discussion of the calculation of distributions to investors and the compensation paid to our Managing Member and its affiliates, as well as the defined terms used above.

 

Compensation Paid to our Managing Member and its Affiliates

 

Each Series will pay the following fees:

 

Sourcing Fee: If a Series raises the maximum offering amount for that Series, a portion of the proceeds would be paid to our Managing Member as a sourcing fee, which is set forth in the Certificate of Designation for the relevant Series and discussed under “Use of Proceeds” below. The sourcing fee represents a fee payable in connection with the search and negotiation of the property purchase and coordination of the work needed to prepare the property for rental. Our Managing Member determines this fee for each Series and sets the amount between 4-12% of the contractual purchase price of the relevant property acquired by the Series plus 4-12% of the anticipated costs of repairs and furnishings (but not capital expenditures) required to prepare the property for listing and rent. To the extent that a Series raises less than the maximum offering amount resulting in insufficient funds to pay the sourcing fee, the company may choose to expense the balance of the sourcing fee, which would be deducted from revenues generated by the relevant property, or Mansion Group may increase its investment in the relevant Series Interests to cover the balance of the sourcing fee.

 

Asset Management Fees: On a quarterly basis beginning on the first quarter end date following the initial closing date of the issuance of Series Interests, the Series shall pay the Managing Member an asset management fee, payable quarterly in arrears, equal to 0.25% (1% annualized) of the capital contributions to that Series.

 

5

 

 

Property Management Fees: Each Series will pay, monthly, a property management fee to the Property Manager, a controlled affiliate of our Managing Member, equal to a percentage (as specified in the relevant Property Management Agreement) of the Gross Receipts received by the Series during the immediately preceding month. “Gross Receipts” means (i) receipts from the short-term or long-term rental of the Underlying Assets; (ii) receipts from rental escalations, late charges and/or cancellation fees (iii) receipts from tenants for reimbursable operating expenses; (iv) receipts from concessions granted or goods or services provided in connection with the Underlying Assets or to the tenants or prospective tenants; (v) other miscellaneous operating receipts; and (vi) proceeds from rent or business interruption insurance, excluding (A) tenants’ security or damage deposits until the same are forfeited by the person making such deposits; (B) property damage insurance proceeds; and (C) any award or payment made by any governmental authority in connection with the exercise of any right of eminent domain. See “The Company’s Business – Property Management Agreements with Mansion Life PM.

 

We and Mansion Group determined these fees internally without any independent assessment of comparable market fees. As a result, they may be higher than those available from unaffiliated third parties.

 

Other Costs and Expenses

 

Each Series will bear all expenses of the applicable Underlying Asset, including fees, costs and expenses attributable to more than one Series and allocated among the relevant Series as discussed above. Currently, fees that we have identified to be allocated among the Series, once all Series have been established and funded, are the following estimated offering expenses:

 

Dalmore Fees: $20,000 consulting fees plus a $5,000 one-time advance expense allowance to cover reasonable out-of-pocket accountable expenses actually anticipated to be incurred by Dalmore in connection with this offering.

 

Audit Fees (estimated): $15,000

 

Legal Fees: $60,000

 

Escrow Agent Fees (estimated): $25,000

 

State filing fees (estimated): $13,000

 

Any fees, costs, offering expenses or other expenses that are allocated among multiple Series will be equal, in the aggregate, to the amount actually incurred, without any mark-up. Once allocated, the portion of those fees, costs and expenses will become expenses and liabilities of the relevant Series and we would generally expect them to be paid out of the cash reserves or revenues of that Series in the ordinary course.

 

If a Series does not have sufficient cash reserves and revenues to meet its operating expenses, the Managing Member may loan funds to a Series to pay such expenses and charge a reasonable rate of interest. In the case of an unsuccessful offering, all abort costs shall be borne by the Managing Member, and except to the extent assumed by the Managing Member in writing.

 

Under the Property Management Agreement of each Series, to the extent that the Property Manager of such Series incurs expenses on behalf of that Series, the Series will reimburse the Property Manager for any such expenses together with a reasonable rate of interest.

The Current Offering

 

Securities Being Offered:  

We are offering the minimum and maximum number of Series Interests of each Series at a price per Series Interest set forth in the “Series Offering Table” section above.

Each Series of Series Interests is intended to be a separate Series of our company for purposes of assets and liabilities. See “Securities Being Offered” for further details.

The purchase of Series Interests in a Series is an investment only in that Series of our company and not an investment in our company as a whole.

     
Minimum and maximum subscription:   The minimum subscription by an investor is 11 Series Interests and the maximum subscription by any investor is for Series Interests representing 9.8% of the total Series Interests of a particular Series, although such minimum and maximum thresholds may be waived or modified by our Managing Member in its sole discretion.

Selected Risks

 

The company’s business is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including those highlighted in the section titled “Risk Factors” immediately following this summary. These risks include, but are not limited to, the following:

 

An investment in an offering constitutes only an investment in that Series and not in the company or any Underlying Asset.

 

If the company’s series limited liability company structure is not respected, then investors may have to share any liabilities of the company with all investors and not just those who hold the same Series Interests as them.

 

We and Mansion Group determined the amount of fees paid to Mansion Group and its affiliates internally without any independent assessment of comparable market fees.

 

7

 

 

Each Series will rely on its Property Manager, Mansion Life PM, to manage each property.

 

If we fail to manage our growth, we may not have access sufficient personnel and other resources to operate our business and our results, financial condition and ability to make distributions to investors may suffer.

 

If Mansion Group fails to attract and retain its key personnel, the company may not be able to achieve its anticipated level of growth and its business could suffer.

 

There is competition for time among the various entities sharing the same management team.

 

The company has limited operating history for investors to evaluate.

 

Possible changes in federal tax laws make it impossible to give certainty to the tax treatment of any Series Interests.

 

The company’s Managing Member can determine in its sole discretion whether to suspend the redemption provision of the company’s Operating Agreement.

 

The company’s consolidated financial statements include a going concern opinion.

 

If the company does not successfully dispose of real estate assets, you may have to hold your investment for an indefinite period.

 

Competition with other parties for real estate investments may reduce the company’s profitability.

 

The company may not raise sufficient funds to achieve its business objectives.

 

The company’s management has full discretion as to the use of proceeds from the offering.

 

There is currently no trading market for the company’s securities.

 

The purchase prices for the Series Interests have been arbitrarily determined.

 

The company’s real estate and real estate-related assets will be subject to the risks typically associated with real estate.

 

We face possible risks associated with natural disasters and the physical effects of climate change, which may include more frequent or severe storms, hurricanes, flooding, rising sea levels, shortages of water, droughts and wildfires, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

 

The performance of any real estate asset is likely to fluctuate significantly due to seasonality.

 

The underlying value and performance of any real estate asset will fluctuate with general and local economic conditions.

 

The market in which the company participates is competitive and, if it does not compete effectively, its operating results could be harmed.

 

The company will be dependent on the short-term rental platforms through which it lists its properties.

 

A short-term rental property could be difficult to sell, which could diminish the return on the Underlying Assets.

 

8

 

 

The company may decide to sell property which could conflict with an investor’s interests.

 

A decline in general economic conditions in the markets in which each property is located or in the United States generally could lead to a decrease in bookings, cancellations and lower rental rates in those markets.

 

Lawsuits may arise between the company and its tenants resulting in lower cash distributions to investors.

 

Costs imposed pursuant to governmental laws and regulations may reduce the company’s net income and the cash available for distributions to its investors.

 

The costs of defending against claims of environmental liability, of complying with environmental regulatory requirements, of remediating any contaminated property or of paying personal injury or other damage claims could reduce the amounts available for distribution to the company’s investors.

 

Costs associated with complying with the Americans with Disabilities Act may decrease cash available for distributions.

 

Uninsured losses relating to real property or excessively expensive premiums for insurance coverage could reduce the company’s cash flows and the return on investment.

 

Using a credit card to purchase shares may impact the return on your investment as well as subject you to other risks inherent in this form of payment

 

The company’s Operating Agreement and Subscription Agreement each include a forum selection provision, which could result in less favorable outcomes to the plaintiff(s) in any action against our company.

 

Investors in this offering may not be entitled to a jury trial with respect to claims arising under the Subscription Agreement or Operating Agreement, which could result in less favorable outcomes to the plaintiff(s) in any action under these Agreements.

 

Actual or threatened epidemics, pandemics, outbreaks, or other public health crises may adversely affect the company’s business.

The Commission requires the company to identify risks that are specific to its business and its financial condition. The company is still subject to all the same risks that all companies in its business, and all companies in the economy, are exposed to. These include risks relating to economic downturns, political and economic events and technological developments (such as cyber-attacks and the ability to prevent those attacks). Additionally, early-stage companies are inherently more risky than more developed companies. You should consider general risks as well as specific risks when deciding whether to invest.

 

Risks Relating to the Structure, Operation and Performance of the Company

 

An investment in an offering constitutes only an investment in that Series and not in the company or any Underlying Asset. A purchase of Series Interests in a Series does not constitute an investment in either the company or an Underlying Asset directly, or in any other Series Interest.  This results in limited voting rights for the investor, which are solely related to a particular Series, and are further limited by the Operating Agreement, of the company, described further herein.  Investors will have limited voting rights. Thus, the Managing Member and the Property Manager retain significant control over the management of the company, each Series and the Underlying Assets.

 

Furthermore, because the Series Interests in a Series do not constitute an investment in the company as a whole, holders of the Series Interests in a Series are not expected to receive any economic benefit from, or be subject to the liabilities of, the assets of any other Series.  In addition, the economic interest of a holder in a Series will not be identical to owning a direct undivided interest in an Underlying Asset because, among other things, a Series will be required to pay corporate taxes before distributions are made to the holders, and the Property Manager will receive a fee in respect of its management of the Underlying Asset.

 

Liability of investors between Series. The company is structured as a Delaware series limited liability company that issues separate Series Interests for specific Underlying Assets. Each Series will merely be a separate Series and not a separate legal entity. Under the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act (the “LLC Act”), if certain conditions (as set forth in Section 18-215(b) of the LLC Act) are met, the liability of investors holding Series Interests in one Series is segregated from the liability of investors holding Series Interests in another Series and the assets of one Series are not available to satisfy the liabilities of other Series.

 

Although this limitation of liability is recognized by the courts of Delaware, there is no guarantee that if challenged in the courts of another U.S. State or a foreign jurisdiction, such courts will uphold a similar interpretation of Delaware corporate law, and in the past certain jurisdictions have not honored such interpretation.

 

If the company’s series limited liability company structure is not respected, then investors may have to share any liabilities of the company with all investors and not just those who hold the same Series Interests as them and account for them separately and otherwise meet the requirements of the LLC Act, it is possible a court could conclude that the methods used did not satisfy Section 18-215(b) of the LLC Act and thus potentially expose the assets of a Series to the liabilities of another Series.  The consequence of this is that investors may have to bear higher than anticipated expenses which would adversely affect the value of their Series Interests or the likelihood of any distributions being made by a particular Series to its investors.

 

In addition, the company is not aware of any court case that has tested the limitations on inter-series liability provided by Section 18-215(b) in federal bankruptcy courts and it is possible that a bankruptcy court could determine that the assets of one Series should be applied to meet the liabilities of the other Series or the liabilities of the company generally where the assets of such other Series or of the company generally are insufficient to meet its liabilities.

 

If any fees, costs and expenses of the company are not allocable to a specific Series, they will be borne proportionately across all of the Series (which may include future Series to be issued).  Although the Managing Member will allocate fees, costs and expenses acting reasonably and in accordance with its allocation policy (see “The Company’s Business – Allocations of Expenses”), there may be situations where it is difficult to allocate fees, costs and expenses to a specific Series and therefore, there is a risk that a Series may bear a proportion of the fees, costs and expenses for a service or product for which another Series received a disproportionately high benefit.

We and Mansion Group determined the amount of fees paid to Mansion Group and its affiliates internally without any independent assessment of comparable market fees. We and Mansion Group determined internally the rate of property management fees that are set forth in the Property Management Agreement for each Series. While we and Mansion Group generally seek to set these fees to be comparable to prevailing market rates in the relevant geographic area, we have determined the fee rates without any independent assessment of comparable market fees. Similarly, we have determined the amount of the asset management fee, as set forth in the Operating Agreement, and the sourcing fee, each to be paid to Mansion Group by the various Series, without any independent assessment of comparable market fees. As a result, these fees may be higher than those available from unaffiliated third parties.

 

Each Series will rely on its Property Manager, Mansion Life PM, to manage each property. Following the acquisition of any property, the property will be managed by Mansion Life PM, a subsidiary of Mansion Group. In addition, Mansion Life PM will be entitled to certain fees in exchange for its day-to-day operations of each property. Any compensation arrangements will be determined by Mansion Group sitting on both sides of the table and will not be an arm’s length transaction.

 

If we fail to manage our growth, we may not have access to sufficient personnel and other resources to operate our business and our results, financial condition and ability to make distributions to investors may suffer. We do not have any employees and intend to establish additional Series and acquire additional short-term rental properties in the future. As we do so, we will be increasingly reliant on the resources of Mansion Group and Mansion Life PM to manage our properties and our company. If the resources of Mansion Group and Mansion Life PM are not adequate to manage our properties effectively, our results, financial condition and ability to make distributions to investors may suffer.

 

If Mansion Group fails to attract and retain its key personnel, the company may not be able to achieve its anticipated level of growth and its business could suffer. The company’s future depends, in part, on Mansion Group’s ability to attract and retain key personnel. Its future also depends on the continued contributions of the executive officers and other key personnel of Mansion Group, each of whom would be difficult to replace.

 

In particular, John Sutton, the Chief Executive Officer of Mansion Group, is critical to the management of the company’s business and operations and the development of its strategic direction. The loss of his services and the process to replace him or any of key personnel would involve significant time and expense and may significantly delay or prevent the achievement of the company’s business objectives.

 

There is competition for time among the various entities sharing the same management team. Currently, Mansion Group is the Managing Member of Mansion Collection and each Series, and Mansion Life PM is the Property Manager for each Series. Mansion Group expects to create more Series in the future as additional attractive short-term rental properties are identified. It is foreseeable that at certain times the various Series will be competing for time from the management team.

 

The company has limited operating history for investors to evaluate. The company and each Series were recently formed and have not generated any revenues and have no operating history upon which prospective investors may evaluate their performance. No guarantee can be given that the company or any Series will achieve their investment objectives, that the value of any Underlying Assets will increase or that any Underlying Assets will be successfully monetized.

 

Possible changes in federal tax laws make it impossible to give certainty to the tax treatment of any Series Interests. The Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) is subject to change by Congress, and interpretations of the Code may be modified or affected by judicial decisions, by the Treasury Department through changes in regulations and by the Internal Revenue Service through its audit policy, announcements, and published and private rulings. Although significant changes to the tax laws historically have been given prospective application, no assurance can be given that any changes made in that law affecting an investment in any Series of the company would be limited to prospective effect.

 

11

 

 

For instance, prior to effectiveness of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, an exchange of the Series Interests of one Series for another might have been a non-taxable ‘like-kind exchange’ transaction, while transactions would only qualify for that treatment with respect to real property.  Accordingly, the ultimate effect on an investor’s tax situation may be governed by laws, regulations or interpretations of laws or regulations which have not yet been proposed, passed or made, as the case may be.

 

The company’s Managing Member can determine in its sole discretion whether to suspend the redemption provision of the company’s Operating Agreement. Under Section 7.6 of the company’s Operating Agreement, the company is instituting a redemption plan for redeeming Series Interests, which are at set ratios. The ratios in the first 24 months after the acquisition of the relevant Series Interests would require redemption below the prices at which the Series Interests were issued. The company’s Managing Member has the sole discretion whether to suspend redemptions, which may occur in cases of limited liquidity of the company.

 

The company’s consolidated financial statements include a going concern opinion. Our financial statements have been prepared assuming the company will continue as a going concern. We are newly formed and have not generated revenue from operations. We will require additional capital until revenue from operations are sufficient to cover operational costs. There are no assurances that we will be able to raise capital on acceptable terms.  If we are unable to obtain sufficient amounts of additional capital, we may be required to reduce the scope of our planned development and operations, which could harm our business, financial condition and operating results. Therefore, there is substantial doubt about the ability of the company to continue as a going concern.

 

If the company does not successfully dispose of real estate assets, you may have to hold your investment for an indefinite period. The determination of whether and when to dispose of the Underlying Assets associated with any Series is entirely at the discretion of the company. Even if the company decides to dispose of such Underlying Assets, the company cannot guarantee that it will be able to dispose of them at a favorable price to investors.

 

Competition with other parties for real estate investments may reduce the company’s profitability. The company will compete with other entities engaged in real estate investment for the acquisition or sale of properties, including financial institutions, many of which have greater resources than the company does. Larger entities may enjoy significant competitive advantages that result from, among other things, a lower cost of capital. Such competition could make it more difficult for the company to obtain future funding, which could affect the company’s growth as a company.

 

Risks Relating to the Offering

 

The company may not raise sufficient funds to achieve its business objectives. The company may not raise an amount sufficient for it to meet all of its objectives. Once the minimum target amount is met and the company accepts your investment funds, there will be no obligation to return your funds. Even if other Series Interests are sold, there may be insufficient funds raised through this offering to cover the expenses associated with the offering or complete the development and implementation of the company’s operations. The lack of sufficient funds to pay expenses and for working capital will negatively impact the company’s ability to implement and complete its planned use of proceeds.

 

The company’s management has full discretion as to the use of proceeds from the offering. The company presently anticipates that the net proceeds from the offering will be used by us for the acquisition of the Underlying Asset. The company reserves the right, however, to use the funds from the offering for other purposes not presently contemplated herein but which are related directly to growing its current business. As a result of the foregoing, purchasers of the Series Interests will be entrusting their funds to the company’s management, upon whose judgment and discretion the investors must depend, with only limited information concerning management’s specific intentions.

 

12

 

 

There is currently no trading market for the company’s securities. There is currently no public trading market for any Series Interests, and an active market may not develop or be sustained.  If an active public or private trading market for the Series Interests does not develop or is not sustained, it may be difficult or impossible for you to resell your Series Interests at any price.  Even if a public or private market does develop, the market price could decline below the amount you paid for your Series Interests.

 

The purchase prices for the Series Interests have been arbitrarily determined. The purchase price for the Series Interests has been arbitrarily determined by the company and bears no relationship to the company’s assets, book value, earnings or other generally accepted criteria of value. In determining pricing, the company considered factors such as the purchase and holding costs of the Underlying Assets, the company’s limited financial resources, the nature of its assets, estimates of its business potential, the degree of equity or control desired to be retained by Managing Member and general economic conditions.

 

The company’s Operating Agreement sets forth restrictions on the ability to transfer Series Interests. Pursuant to Section 4.2 of the Operating Agreement no Transfer of any Series Interest, whether voluntary or involuntary, will be valid or effective, and no transferee will become a substituted Member, unless the written consent of the Managing Member has been obtained, which consent may be withheld in its sole and absolute discretion.

 

Risk Factors Related to the Real Estate Market

 

The company’s real estate and real estate-related assets will be subject to the risks typically associated with real estate. The properties the company acquires will be subject to the risks typically associated with the travel industry and real estate, which may be adversely affected by a number of risks, including:

 

natural disasters such as hurricanes, earthquakes and floods;

 

pandemics, such as COVID-19;

 

acts of war or terrorism, including the consequences of terrorist attacks;

 

adverse changes in national and local economic and real estate conditions;

 

an oversupply of (or a reduction in demand for) short-term rentals in the areas where particular properties are located and the attractiveness of particular properties to prospective travelers;

 

changes in governmental laws and regulations, fiscal policies and zoning ordinances and the related costs of compliance therewith and the potential for liability under applicable laws;

 

costs of remediation and liabilities associated with environmental conditions affecting properties; and

 

the potential for uninsured or underinsured property losses.

 

In 2020, the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic caused drastic reductions in travel generally as countries, and many states in the United States, imposed stay at home orders and adopted social distancing measures. Though travel has since resumed, it remains subject to restrictions or the reoccurrence of breakouts of COVID-19, including mask mandates and restrictions on international travel, which could continue to dampen the level of travel both within the United States and internationally, which the company expects will help drive demand for short-term rentals. The value of each Series is also related to its ability to generate cash flow and net income, which in turn depends on the amount of booking revenue or other income that can be generated net of expenses required to be incurred with respect to the property. Many expenditures associated with properties (such as operating expenses and capital expenditures) cannot be reduced when there is a reduction in income from the properties.

We face possible risks associated with natural disasters and the physical effects of climate change, which may include more frequent or severe storms, hurricanes, flooding, rising sea levels, shortages of water, droughts and wildfires, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition. To the extent climate change causes changes in weather patterns, our coastal destinations could experience increases in storm intensity and rising sea-levels causing damage to our properties and result in reduced bookings at these properties. Climate change may also affect our business by increasing the cost of, or making unavailable, property insurance on terms we find acceptable in areas most vulnerable to such events, increasing operating costs, including the cost of water or energy, and requiring us to expend funds to repair and protect our properties in connection with such events. Any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

 

The performance of any real estate asset is likely to fluctuate significantly due to seasonality. The performance of any short-term rental property is likely to fluctuate significantly during the course of a year, reflecting periods of lower or higher demand depending on the location of the property. We may experience declines in occupancy rates and revenues during low seasons, while costs and expenses do not decline at the same rate, if at all, which could have a material adverse effect on our profitability, cash flow and ability to make distributions to investors.

 

The underlying value and performance of any real estate asset will fluctuate with general and local economic conditions. The successful operation of any real estate asset is significantly related to general and local economic conditions. Periods of economic slowdown or recession, significantly rising interest rates, declining employment levels, decreasing demand for short-term rentals, declining real estate values, or the public perception that any of these events may occur, can result in reductions in the underlying value of any asset and result in poor economic performance. In such cases, investors may lose the full value of their investment, or may not experience any distributions from the real estate asset.

 

The market in which the company participates is competitive and, if it does not compete effectively, its operating results could be harmed. The company competes with many others engaged in real estate in general and short-term rental operating activities in particular, including but not limited to individuals, corporations, bank and insurance company investment accounts, real estate investment trusts, and private real estate funds. In particular, the company intends to list its short-term rental properties through established short-term rental booking platforms, such as AirBNB and Vrbo, and the company’s properties will compete with all other properties listed in those sites in the vicinity of the company’s property, as well as other traditional accommodations such as hotels which may have built-in client bases and significantly greater resources and the ability to withstand economic downturns or off-peak vacancies. This market is competitive and rapidly changing. Significant increases in the number of listings for short-term rentals in the geographic areas where the company’s properties are located, if not met by a similar increase in demand for short-term rentals, is likely to cause downward pressure on rental rates and, potentially, impact to value of the Underlying Asset. The company expects competition to persist and intensify in the future, which could harm its ability to generate sufficient rental income from its short-term properties or acquire additional properties on terms that investors find to be reasonable.

 

The company will be dependent on the short-term rental platforms through which it lists its properties. The company intends to promote its short-term rental properties through its online short-term rental booking platform, which can be found at www.mansionlife.com/stay and via mobile app available on iOS and Android at www.mansionlife.com/app and other short-term rental booking platforms such as AirBNB and Vrbo and will rely on these platforms to facilitate bookings, communications with renters, collection of rental amounts and taxes, and to remit those payments appropriately. If these platforms were to experience disruptions or fail to meet users’ expectations, our business could suffer. Furthermore, if one or more of these platforms were to cease operations or to reject our listing, we may have difficulty renting our short-term property, which could have a material adverse effect on our results, profitability and the ability to make distributions to investors.

 

A short-term rental property could be difficult to sell, which could diminish the return on the Underlying Assets. A short-term rental property may incur losses due to extended periods of vacancy and may suffer reduced revenues resulting in less cash available for distribution to its investors. In addition, the resale value of the Underlying Assets could be diminished if the market value of the Underlying Assets declines, due to a decrease in cash flow generated by the property or decline in real estate market values. Such a reduction in the resale value of a property could also reduce the value of investors’ Series Interests.

 

14

 

 

The company may decide to sell property which could conflict with an investor’s interests. The company may determine when to sell any property at any time in accordance with the management rights afforded to the Managing Member. Investors will not have a say in this decision. The timing and decision to sell a property may conflict with investors personal interests, beliefs or theories regarding the real estate market. Further, it is possible the sale will not be done at an optimal time. In any case, investors would not have any cause of action against the company or Managing Member for such sales.

 

A decline in general economic conditions in the markets in which each property is located or in the United States generally could lead to a decrease in bookings, cancellations and lower rental rates in those markets. As a result of these trends, the company may reduce revenue, potentially resulting in losses and lower resale value of properties, which may reduce your return.

 

Lawsuits may arise between the company and its tenants resulting in lower cash distributions to investors. Disputes between landlords and tenants are common. These disputes may escalate into legal action from time to time. In the event a lawsuit arises between the company and a tenant it is likely that the company will see an increase in costs. Accordingly, cash distributions to investors may be affected.

 

Costs imposed pursuant to governmental laws and regulations may reduce the company’s net income and the cash available for distributions to its investors. Real property and the operations conducted on real property are subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to protection of the environment and human health. The company could be subject to liability in the form of fines, penalties or damages for noncompliance with these laws and regulations. These laws and regulations generally govern wastewater discharges, air emissions, the operation and removal of underground and above-ground storage tanks, the use, storage, treatment, transportation and disposal of solid and hazardous materials, the remediation of contamination associated with the release or disposal of solid and hazardous materials, the presence of toxic building materials and other health and safety-related concerns. Some of these laws and regulations may impose joint and several liability on the tenants, owners or operators of real property for the costs to investigate or remediate contaminated properties, regardless of fault, whether the contamination occurred prior to purchase, or whether the acts causing the contamination were legal. Activities of the company’s tenants, the condition of properties at the time the company buys them, operations in the vicinity of its properties, such as the presence of underground storage tanks, or activities of unrelated third parties may affect its properties. The presence of hazardous substances, or the failure to properly manage or remediate these substances, may hinder the company’s ability to sell, rent or pledge such property as collateral for future borrowings. Any material expenditures, fines, penalties or damages the company must pay will reduce its ability to make distributions and may reduce the value of your investment.

 

The costs of defending against claims of environmental liability, of complying with environmental regulatory requirements, of remediating any contaminated property or of paying personal injury or other damage claims could reduce the amounts available for distribution to the company’s investors. Under various federal, state and local environmental laws, ordinances and regulations, a current or previous real property owner or operator may be liable for the cost of removing or remediating hazardous or toxic substances on, under or in such property. These costs could be substantial. Such laws often impose liability whether or not the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of such hazardous or toxic substances. Environmental laws also may impose liens on property or restrictions on the manner in which property may be used or businesses may be operated, and these restrictions may require substantial expenditures or prevent us booking the property. Environmental laws provide for sanctions for noncompliance and may be enforced by governmental agencies or, in certain circumstances, by private parties. Certain environmental laws and common law principles could be used to impose liability for the release of and exposure to hazardous substances, including asbestos-containing materials and lead-based paint. Third parties may seek recovery from real property owners or operators for personal injury or property damage associated with exposure to released hazardous substances and governments may seek recovery for natural resource damage. The costs of defending against claims of environmental liability, of complying with environmental regulatory requirements, of remediating any contaminated property, or of paying personal injury, property damage or natural resource damage claims could reduce or eliminate the amounts available for distribution to you.

 

15

 

 

Costs associated with complying with the Americans with Disabilities Act may decrease cash available for distributions. Each Underlying Asset may be subject to the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, as amended, or the ADA. Under the ADA, all places of public accommodation are required to comply with federal requirements related to access and use by disabled persons. The ADA has separate compliance requirements for “public accommodations” and “commercial facilities” that generally require that buildings and services be made accessible and available to people with disabilities. The ADA’s requirements could require removal of access barriers and could result in the imposition of injunctive relief, monetary penalties or, in some cases, an award of damages. Any funds used for ADA compliance will reduce the company’s net income and the amount of cash available for distributions to investors.

 

Uninsured losses relating to real property or excessively expensive premiums for insurance coverage could reduce the company’s cash flows and the return on investment. There are types of losses, generally catastrophic in nature, such as losses due to wars, acts of terrorism, earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, pollution or environmental matters, that are uninsurable or not economically insurable, or may be insured subject to limitations, such as large deductibles or co-payments. Insurance risks associated with potential acts of terrorism could sharply increase the premiums the company pays for coverage against property and casualty claims. Additionally, to the extent the company finances the acquisition of an Underlying Asset, mortgage lenders in some cases insist that property owners purchase coverage against flooding as a condition for providing mortgage loans. Such insurance policies may not be available at reasonable costs, which could inhibit the company’s ability to finance or refinance its properties if so required. In such instances, the company may be required to provide other financial support, either through financial assurances or self-insurance, to cover potential losses. The company may not have adequate coverage for such losses. If any of the properties incur a casualty loss that is not fully insured, the value of the assets will be reduced by any such uninsured loss, which may reduce the value of investor interests. In addition, other than any working capital reserve or other reserves the company may establish, the company has no additional sources of funding to repair or reconstruct any uninsured property. Also, to the extent the company must pay unexpectedly large amounts for insurance, it could suffer reduced earnings that would result in lower distributions to investors.

 

Using a credit card to purchase shares may impact the return on your investment as well as subject you to other risks inherent in this form of payment. Investors in this offering have the option of paying for their investment with a credit card, which is not usual in the traditional investment markets. Transaction fees charged by your credit card company (which can reach 5% of transaction value if considered a cash advance) and interest charged on unpaid card balances (which can reach almost 25% in some states) add to the effective purchase price of the shares you buy. See “Plan of Distribution.” The cost of using a credit card may also increase if you do not make the minimum monthly card payments and incur late fees. Using a credit card is a relatively new form of payment for securities and will subject you to other risks inherent in this form of payment, including that, if you fail to make credit card payments (e.g. minimum monthly payments), you risk damaging your credit score and payment by credit card may be more susceptible to abuse than other forms of payment. Moreover, where a third-party payment processor is used, as in this offering, your recovery options in the case of disputes may be limited. The increased costs due to transaction fees and interest may reduce the return on your investment.

 

The Commission’s Office of Investor Education and Advocacy issued an Investor Alert dated February 14, 2018, entitled Credit Cards and Investments – A Risky Combination, which explains these and other risks you may want to consider before using a credit card to pay for your investment.

 

Risks Related to Forum Selection and Jury Waivers

 

Investors will be subject to the terms of the Subscription Agreement. As part of this investment, each investor will be required to agree to the terms of the Subscription Agreement included as Exhibit 4 to the Offering Statement of which this Offering Circular forms a part. The Subscription Agreement requires investors to indemnify the company for any claim of brokerage commissions, finders’ fees, or similar compensation. Legal conflicts relating to the Subscription Agreement will likely be heard in Delaware courts and will be governed by under Delaware law.

 

Investors in this offering may not be entitled to a jury trial with respect to claims arising under the Subscription Agreement or Operating Agreement, which could result in less favorable outcomes to the plaintiff(s) in any action under these Agreements. Investors in this offering will be bound by the Subscription Agreement and the Operating Agreement, both of which include a provision under which investors waive the right to a jury trial of any claim, other than claims arising under federal securities laws, that they may have against the company arising out of or relating to these agreements. By signing these agreements, the investor warrants that the investor has reviewed this waiver with his or her legal counsel, and knowingly and voluntarily waives the investor’s jury trial rights following consultation with the investor’s legal counsel.

 

16

 

 

If you bring a claim against the company in connection with matters arising under the Subscription Agreement or Operating Agreement, other than claims under the federal securities laws, you may not be entitled to a jury trial with respect to those claims, which may have the effect of limiting and discouraging lawsuits against the company. If a lawsuit is brought against the company under one of those agreements, it may be heard only by a judge or justice of the applicable trial court, which would be conducted according to different civil procedures and may result in different outcomes than a trial by jury would have had, including results that could be less favorable to the plaintiff(s) in such an action.

 

In addition, when the Series Interests are transferred, the transferee is required to agree to all the same conditions, obligations, and restrictions applicable to the Series Interests or to the transferor with regard to ownership of the Series Interests, that were in effect immediately prior to the transfer of the Series Interests, including the Subscription Agreement and the Operating Agreement.

 

The company’s Operating Agreement and Subscription Agreement each include a forum selection provision, which could result in less favorable outcomes to the plaintiff(s) in any action against our company.

 

The Operating Agreement of Mansion Collection includes a forum selection provision that requires any suit, action, or proceeding seeking to enforce any provision of or based on any matter arising out of or in connection with the Operating Agreement, or the transactions contemplated thereby, other than matters arising under the federal securities laws, be brought in state or federal court of competent jurisdiction located within the State of Delaware. Our Subscription Agreement for each manner of investing and class of security includes a forum selection provision that requires any suit, action, or proceeding arising from the Subscription Agreement, other than matters arising under the federal securities laws, be brought in a state of federal court of competent jurisdiction located within the State of Delaware. These forum selection provisions may limit investors’ ability to bring claims in judicial forums that they find favorable to such disputes and may discourage lawsuits with respect to such claims.

DILUTION

 

Dilution means a reduction in value, control, or earnings of the units the investor owns.

 

As of the date of this Offering Circular, Mansion Group owns 100% of the company’s membership interests. Those membership interests are not connected to any specific Series Interest. Investors in this offering will be acquiring Series Interests of a Series of the company, the economic rights of each Series Interest will be based on the corresponding Underlying Asset of that Series. As such, investors will not experience dilution except as a result of the sale of additional Series Interests of the Series to which they have subscribed.

 

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

We are offering, on a best-efforts basis, Series Interests of each of the open Series of our company in the “Series Offering Table” herein. The offering price for each Series was determined by our Managing Member.

 

The company plans to market the securities directly on a “best efforts” basis. The company intends to use its website and an offering landing page to offer the Series Interests to eligible investors. The officers, directors, employees, and advisors of the company or its Managing Member may participate in the offering. When applicable, the company intends to prepare written materials and respond to investors after the investors initiate contact with the company, however no officers, directors, employees or advisors to the company or its Managing Member will orally solicit investors.

 

The Offering Circular will be furnished to prospective investors in this offering via download 24 hours a day, 7 days a week on the company’s website www.mansionlife.com/circulars. Prospective investors may subscribe for the Series Interests in this offering only through the website. In order to subscribe to purchase Series Interests, a prospective investor must electronically complete, sign and deliver to us an executed subscription agreement like the one filed as an exhibit to the Offering Statement, of which this Offering Circular is part, and provide funds for its subscription amount in accordance with the instructions provided therein.

 

We reserve the right to reject any investor’s subscription in whole or in part for any reason. If the offering terminates or if any prospective investor’s subscription is rejected, all funds received from such investors will be returned without interest or deduction.

 

Further, pursuant to Section 6 in the applicable Series Interest Subscription Agreement, the subscriptions are irrevocable by the investor.

 

After each closing, funds tendered by investors will be available to the company for its use. At the initial closing, Mansion Group, our Managing Member, must purchase a minimum of 0.1% and may purchase a maximum of 51% of Series Interests through the Offering, or such other minimum and maximum percentage amount as set forth in the applicable Series Certificate of Designations.

 

We will conduct separate closings with respect to each offering of Series Interests. The termination of an offering for a Series will occur on the earliest to occur of (i) the date subscriptions for the maximum number of Series Interests offered for a Series have been accepted or (ii) a date determined by our Managing Member in its sole discretion. The company intends to create additional Series that may be added to this offering only upon qualification of an amendment to the Offering Statement of which this Offering Circular forms a part. The offering of Series Interests pursuant to the Offering Statement shall terminate upon the earlier of (i) the date at which the maximum offering amount of all Series Interests has been sold, (ii) the date which is three years from the date such offering circular or amendment thereof, as applicable, is qualified by the Commission, or (iii) any date on which our Managing Member elects to terminate this offering in its sole discretion.

 

Once the minimum target amount is met, the company may, in its sole discretion, undertake one or more closings on a rolling basis, and intends to effect a close every 7 days. After each closing, funds tendered by investors will be available to the company and the company will issue the Series Interests to investors. An investor will become a member of the company, including for tax purposes, and the Series Interests will be issued, as of the date of settlement. Settlement will not occur until an investor’s funds have cleared and the company accepts the investor as a member. Not all investors will receive their Series Interests on the same date.

The company has also engaged Dalmore Group, LLC (“Dalmore”) a broker-dealer registered with the Commission and a member of FINRA, to perform the following administrative and compliance related functions in connection with this offering, but not for underwriting or placement agent services:

 

Review investor information, including KYC (“Know Your Customer”) data, perform AML (“Anti Money Laundering”) and other compliance background checks, and provide a recommendation to the company whether or not to accept an investor as a customer;

 

Review each investor’s subscription agreement to confirm such investor’s participation in the offering and provide a determination to the company whether or not to accept the use of the subscription agreement for the investor’s participation;

 

Contact and/or notify the company, if needed, to gather additional information or clarification on an investor;

 

Not provide any investment advice nor any investment recommendations to any investor;

 

Keep investor details and data confidential and not disclose to any third-party except as required by regulators or in its performance pursuant to the terms of the agreement (e.g., as needed for AML and background checks); and

 

Coordinate with third party providers to ensure adequate review and compliance.

 

As compensation for the services listed above, the company has agreed to pay Dalmore a commission equal to 1% of the amount raised in the offering to support the offering on all newly invested funds after the issuance of a No Objection Letter by FINRA. In addition, the company has paid Dalmore a $5,000 one-time advance expense allowance to cover reasonable out-of-pocket accountable expenses actually anticipated to be incurred by Dalmore in connection with this offering. Dalmore will refund any amount related to this expense allowance to the extent it is not used, incurred or provided to the company. The company has also agreed to pay Dalmore a one-time consulting fee of $20,000 to provide ongoing general consulting services relating to this offering such as coordination with third party vendors and general guidance with respect to the offering, which will be due and payable within 30 days after this offering is qualified by the Commission and the receipt of a No Objection Letter from FINRA.  Assuming the offering is fully-subscribed, the company estimates that total fees due to pay Dalmore, including the one-time advance expense allowance fee of $5,000 and consulting fee of $20,000, would be $25,000 plus 1% of the aggregate of offering amounts of all Series shown on the cover page of this Offering Circular.

 

Process of Subscribing

 

After the offering Statement has been qualified by the Commission, the company will accept tenders of funds to purchase the Series Interests.

 

Investors will be required to complete a subscription agreement in order to invest. The subscription agreement includes a representation by the investor to the effect that, if the investor is not an “accredited investor” as defined under securities law, the investor is investing an amount that does not exceed the greater of 10% of their annual income or 10% of their net worth (excluding the investor’s principal residence).

 

19

 

 

To subscribe for the Series Interests, each prospective investor must:

 

1.Go to www.mansionlife.com, complete user registration;

 

2.Complete profile setup and link a bank account;

 

3.Navigate to open prospective offering page, click on the “Invest Now” button; that will open the subscribe panel;

 

4.Complete subscribe information and review and sign the subscription agreement;

 

5.Based on your account status, the company may ask an Investor to provide identification or accreditation proof documents before accepting the subscription.

 

Any potential investor will have ample time and is advised to review the Subscription Agreement, along with their counsel, prior to making any final investment decision.

 

Once the minimum offering amount is reached, the company may close on investments on a “rolling” basis (so not all investors will receive their Series Interests on the same date). Investors may subscribe by tendering funds by check, wire transfer, credit card or ACH transfer to an account maintained by the Escrow Agent until the company has accepted the investor’s subscription. Upon closing, funds tendered by investors will be made available by the Escrow Agent to the company for its use. The company has the right to refuse to sell the Series Interests to any prospective investor or for any reason in its sole discretion, including, without limitation, if such prospective investor does not promptly supply all information requested by the company in connection with such prospective investor subscription. In addition, in the company’s sole discretion, it may establish a limit on the purchase of Series Interests by particular prospective investors.

 

Escrow Agent

 

The company has entered into an escrow agreement with North Capital Private Securities (the “Escrow Agent”). Investor funds will be held by the Escrow Agent pending closing or termination of the offering. All subscribers will be instructed by the company or its agents to transfer funds by check, wire transfer or ACH transfer directly to the escrow account established for this offering. The company may terminate the offering at any time for any reason at its sole discretion. Investors should understand that acceptance of their funds into escrow does not necessarily result in their receiving Series Interests; escrowed funds may be returned.

 

The Escrow Agent is not participating as an underwriter or placement agent or sales agent of this offering and will not solicit any investment in the company, recommend the company’s securities or provide investment advice to any prospective investor, and no communication through any medium, including any website, should be construed as such, or distribute this Offering Circular or other offering materials to investors. The use of the Escrow Agent’s technology should not be interpreted and is not intended as an endorsement or recommendation by it of the company or this offering. All inquiries regarding this offering or escrow should be made directly to the company.

 

For its services, the Escrow Agent will receive fees of approximately $25,000, assuming the maximum offering amount is raised in this offering.

Transfer Agent

 

The company has not yet engaged a transfer agent.

 

Selling Security holders

 

No securities are being sold for the account of security holders; all net proceeds of this offering will go to the company.

 

Forum Selection Provision

 

The Subscription Agreement that investors will execute in connection with the offering includes a forum selection provision that requires any claims against the company based on the Agreement to be brought in a state or federal court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Delaware for the purpose of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of or based upon the Agreement, excluding any claims under federal securities laws. Although the company believes the provision benefits us by providing increased consistency in the application of Delaware law in the types of lawsuits to which it applies and in limiting the company’s litigation costs, to the extent it is enforceable, the forum selection provision may limit investors’ ability to bring claims in judicial forums that they find favorable to such disputes and may discourage lawsuits with respect to such claims. The company has adopted the provision to limit the time and expense incurred by its management to challenge any such claims. As a company with a small management team, this provision allows its officers to not lose a significant amount of time travelling to various forums so they may continue to focus on operations of the company.

 

Jury Trial Waiver

 

The Subscription Agreement that investors will execute in connection with the offering provides that subscribers waive the right to a jury trial of any claim they may have against us arising out of or relating to the Agreement, excluding any claim under federal securities laws. By signing the Subscription Agreement, an investor will warrant that the investor has reviewed this waiver with the investor’s legal counsel, and knowingly and voluntarily waives his or her jury trial rights following consultation with the investor’s legal counsel. If the company opposed a jury trial demand based on the waiver, a court would determine whether the waiver was enforceable given the facts and circumstances of that case in accordance with applicable case law.

THE COMPANY’S BUSINESS

 

Overview

 

Mansion Collection was incorporated in the State of Delaware on December 15, 2022. Mansion Collection is an investment vehicle which intends to enable investors to own fractional ownership of a specific short-term rental property. This lowers the cost-of-entry and minimizes the time commitment for real estate investing. An investment in the company entitles the investor to the potential economic and tax benefits normally associated with direct property ownership, while requiring no investor involvement in asset or property management.

 

The company intends to establish separate Series for the holding of short-term rental properties to be acquired by the company. Notably, the debts, liabilities and obligations incurred, contracted for or otherwise existing with respect to a particular Series of the company will be enforceable against the assets of the applicable Series only, and not against the assets of the company. In addition, Mansion Collection will manage all Underlying Assets related to the various Series including the sales of property, property short-term bookings, maintenance and insurance.

 

Mansion Collection is a wholly owned subsidiary of Mansion Group. As discussed in further in the Operating Agreement of Mansion Collection, Mansion Group is the Managing Member of Mansion Collection. Mansion Group was incorporated in the State of Delaware on August 24, 2018. Mansion Group is a real estate investment platform that allows individual investors to have direct access to quality short-term rental estate investment opportunities and invest in individual short-term rental properties. As of the date of this offering circular, no series of Mansion Collection have been liquidated.

 

Intended Business Process

 

Generally, the company and Mansion Group intend to arrange for the purchase of a specific residential property either: (i) directly by the Series, (ii) by Mansion Group, (iii) by a related third party, (iv) or one of its wholly owned subsidiaries, as described below:

 

If the Mansion Group or one of its subsidiaries purchased the property directly, then, after the relevant Series has obtained sufficient financing, it would sell the property to that Series for an amount equal to the original purchase price (including closing costs) plus holding costs, renovation costs and furnishing expenses incurred by Mansion Group prior to the sale to the Series.

 

In cases where Mansion Group identifies and intends to have the Series purchase that property directly from a third-party Seller, it would use the proceeds of the offering for that Series to purchase the property and may finance a portion of the purchase price with mortgage or other third-party financing. The company generally expects to set a minimum offering amount for each Series such that the net proceeds would be sufficient to finance the net purchase price of the Underlying Assets (less third-party financing), plus closing and any loan costs and expected repairs, renovations or furnishings. If the purchase agreement for the property does not include a financing condition or the financing contingency has expired and the closing for the property occurs prior to sufficient minimum proceeds being received, Mansion Group or an affiliate may provide a loan to the Series to finance all or part of the purchase price of the property that would be repaid with the proceeds of the offering.

 

In cases in which the Managing Member entered into a purchase and sale agreement to acquire the property from a third-party seller and paid closing costs and acquired furniture for the property, the applicable Series would enter into a Promissory Note with the applicable managing member to repay the sum. Next, the applicable Series would obtain additional loan financing to repay the remaining balance on the applicable promissory note.

 

To prepare an Underlying Asset for operation, the Managing Member, or an affiliate, may furnish the Underlying Asset and the make necessary repairs and improvements (“Property Improvements”).

 

Further, the Managing Member may determine in its sole discretion, that improvements to the surrounding neighborhood in which the Underlying Asset is located are necessary. In the event the Managing Member determines that it is in the best interest of the Series to participate in the Lift Up for Neighbors program (“Lift Up For Neighbors”), the Managing Member may use up to 1% of the total proceeds from the applicable Series offering for this purpose. See “Use of Proceeds” for further details.

Property Management Agreements with Mansion Life PM

 

Mansion Life PM is expected to serve as the Property Manager responsible for managing each Series’ Underlying Asset (the “Property Manager”) as described in the relevant Property Management Agreement for the Series. The terms of each Property Management Agreement are as set forth below.

 

Authority: The Property Manager shall have sole authority and complete discretion over the care, custody, maintenance and management of the applicable Underlying Asset for each Series and may take any action that it deems necessary or desirable in connection with each Underlying Asset, subject to the limits set for in the Agreement (generally acquisition of any asset or service for an amount equal to or greater than 1% of the value of the relevant Underlying Assets individually, or 3% of such value in the aggregate requires approval of the Managing Member).

 

Delegation: The Property Manager may delegate all or any of its duties. The Property Manager shall not have the authority to sell, transfer, encumber or convey any Underlying Asset.

 

Performance of Underling Assets: The Property Manager gives no warranty as to the performance or profitability of the Underlying Assets or as to the performance of any third party engaged by the Property Manager hereunder.

 

Assignment: No Property Management Agreement may be assigned by either party without the consent of the other party.

 

Compensation and Expenses: Each Series will pay, monthly, a property management fee to the Property Manager, equal to a percentage (as set forth below) of the Gross Rental Receipts received by the Series during the immediately preceding month.

 

Baroness: 15%

 

“Gross Rental Receipts” means the aggregate amount of all gross receipts actually received by or on behalf of Owner, determined on a cash basis, from (a) tenant rentals and other sums collected pursuant to leases (excluding tenant security deposits returned to tenants) and other amounts collected for rental of the Property, (b) income from the operation of the Property, including but not limited to, internet access, laundry, and vending machines, if any, (c) proceeds from rental loss or business interruption insurance, (d) any sums and charges collected in connection with the termination of tenant leases or settlement of related claims and (e) application fees, pet fees, administrative fees, and other similar miscellaneous income. Gross Rental Receipts shall not include the proceeds of (i) any sale, exchange, refinancing, condemnation, or other disposition of all or any part of the Property, (ii) any loans to Owner, whether or not secured by all or any part of the Property, (iii) any capital contributions made to Owner, (iv) any insurance proceeds (other than rental loss or business interruption insurance) maintained with regard to the Property, (v) security deposits received from any prior owner of the Property or directly from tenants (until applied to obligations that constitute Gross Rental Receipts) and any interest accrued thereon, (vi) cleaning fees, (vii) interest income, (viii) advance rents (until such payments are to apply as rental income), (ix) abatements of taxes, awards arising out of takings by eminent domain, discounts and dividends on insurance policies and (x) rental concessions not paid by third parties.

 

Each Series will bear all expenses of the applicable Underlying Asset and shall reimburse the Property Manager for any such expenses paid by the Property Manager on behalf of the applicable Series together with a reasonable rate of interest.

 

26

 

 

Duration and Termination: Each Property Management Agreement shall be for a period of two years and automatically renew at the conclusion of the term, unless notice of termination is provided.

 

Allocations of Expenses

 

If any fees, costs and expenses of the company are not related solely to a specific Series, they will be allocated by the Managing Member among all Series (or in cases where such fees, costs or expenses relate to several Series but not all Series, among the relevant Series) pro rata based on the value of the series properties or the number of properties, as reasonably determined by the Managing Member or as otherwise set forth in the allocation policy.

 

Once such fees, costs or expenses have been allocated in accordance with the Managing Member’s allocation policy, each relevant Series would record their allocated portion and become liable for payment or for reimbursing the Managing Member for its pre-allocation payment of such expenses. For example, generally, we expect that the costs of repairs, furnishings and capital expenditures for a particular property will be applicable to and incurred solely by the relevant Series which owns such property. Similarly, property management fees and other contractual obligations under the Property Management Agreement for a specific Series, and the asset management fees charged by our Managing Member will be obligations solely of the relevant Series. In contrast and for example, our Managing Member initially bears all offering expenses, other than brokerage commissions, on behalf of each Series. Such expenses will be allocated among and reimbursed by all Series established by Mansion Collection once those Series have all been established and funded. There may be situations where it is difficult to allocate fees, costs and expenses among specific Series and, therefore, there is a risk that a Series may bear a proportion of the fees, costs and expenses for a service or product for which another Series received a disproportionately high benefit. See “Risk Factors – Liability of investors between Series.”

 

Market Outlook

 

Short-term Rental Market - Generally

 

We believe the short-term rental industry (“STR”) is primed for growth due to the following factors:

 

The STR industry is experiencing continued growth since 2019 (see table below).

 

It is outperforming historical industry leaders in the STR space such as office leases.

 

Industry leaders, like AirBnB are seeing an increase in usage from consumers to utilize their platform,

 

Nights booked continue to grow

The below table represents the continued growth of the STR in the United States (the report was published on December 12, 2022).

STR are proving to be one of the best performing real estate classes recently, outperforming on a cap rate basis historical leaders like office space. The table below describes this in detail.

Further to this trend, AirBnB has seen an increase in trust by consumers to utilize their platform. We believe their scale presents great opportunities for our continued expansion but does introduce risk should they remove Mansion Group or devalue our listings on their marketplace. However, we believe our team’s experience in working with third parties provides us a strategic advantage in optimizing our success on these platforms.

Short Term Rental Market – Charlotte, North Carolina

 

The company intends to focus on small, mid-size and destination cities. The company launched its business in Charlotte, NC where the founding team saw an opportunity to acquire real estate assets in a growing market where home prices could still generate positive projected cash-flows and strong historical home-price appreciation. The data in this section represents overall Charlotte area market performance data and is relevant to our offerings located in or near the Charlotte area market.

 

The below chart represents average daily rates by price tiers defined by AirDNA.co tracking of short-term rental listings across the Charlotte, NC city limits. The 4-bedroom and 5-bedroom bands separate themselves in the ability to generate outside returns in this market, given lower supply levels and the revenue versus incremental cost for these properties.

 

 

Airdna.co data was collected from AirDNA on May 27th, 2023 for all “Charlotte, NC” listings, including 3,342 listings.

 

On the home price appreciation front, the Charlotte Metro Area has also seen strong historical appreciation with a 10-year CAGR of 8.96% comparing Q1-2023 to Q1-2013 House Price Indexes provided by the St. Louis Federal Reserve via their FRED system.

Through the use of such platform, investors can browse and screen the investments offered by each of the series in this Regulation A Offering and sign legal documents to purchase Series Interests electronically.

Details of the Underlying Asset, including number of bedrooms, bathrooms, and square footage.

 

Discussion of the location of the Underlying Asset.

 

Offering use of proceeds .

 

31

 

 

Lift Up For Neighbors

 

The Managing Member may determine in its sole discretion, that improvements to the surrounding neighborhood in which the Underlying Asset is located are necessary. In the event the Managing Member determines that it is in the best interest of the Series to participate in Lift Up For Neighbors, the Managing Member may use up to 1% of the total proceeds from the applicable Series offering for this purpose. See “Use of Proceeds” for further details.

 

Lift Up For Education

 

The Managing Member may determine in its sole discretion, that the Company will participate in Lift Up for Education (”LUE”).

Series Baroness is not participating in LUE.

 

Marketing and Distribution Channels

 

The company intends to market its properties primarily through the following vacation rental platforms:

 

Airbnb

VRBO

MansionLife App

 

Each of these platforms enables travelers to search for available lodgings in a particular city or geographic area for the duration of their intended stay. The platforms facilitate travelers’ bookings by reserving the days booked at a particular property, accepting traveler payments, remitting payments to us and refunding, as needed, payments related to cancellations. Mansion Group, the Managing Member, owns and operates the MansionLife App and can be accessed via www.mansionlife.com/app.

 

32

 

 

Competition

 

The company competes with many others engaged in real estate in general and short-term rental operating activities in particular, including but not limited to individuals, corporations, bank and insurance company investment accounts, real estate investment trusts, and private real estate funds. In particular, the company intends to list its short-term rental properties through established short-term rental booking platforms, such as AirBNB and Vrbo, and the company’s properties will compete will all other properties listed in those sites in the vicinity of the company’s property, as well as other traditional accommodations such as hotels which may have built-in client bases and significantly greater resources and the ability to withstand economic downturns or off-peak vacancies.

 

This market is competitive and rapidly changing. Significant increases in the number of listings for short-term rentals in the geographic areas where the company’s properties are located, if not met by a similar increase in demand for short-term rentals, is likely to cause downward pressure on rental rates and, potentially, impact to value of the Underlying Asset. The company expects competition to persist and intensify in the future, which could harm its ability to generate sufficient rental income from its short-term properties or acquire additional properties on terms that investors find to be reasonable.

 

Plan of Operations

 

The strategy for future expansion includes a continued focus on mid-size cities such as Charlotte, NC, Tampa/St. Pete, FL, Raleigh-Durham, NC, Indianapolis, IN, Nashville, TN, Myrtle Beach, SC, Orlando, FL and others that meet the criteria in our investment strategy.

 

The company intends to focus on acquiring properties located in the United States, that are expected to include:

 

Single family homes

 

Condos

  

Condotels

 

Bed and Breakfasts

 

Hotels

 

Small multi-family properties

 

The company relies on historical data, marketing data and the real-estate experiences of our Managing Member’s real estate team and their greater network of real estate experts when evaluating the potential of an Underlying Asset.

 

Further, potential Underlying Assets are evaluated against the following primary characteristics, which may be changed from time to time by the Managing Manager in its sole discretion:

 

Capitalization rates, including set-up fees and furniture, fixtures and equipment as part of the initial purchase price.

 

Underlying Assets with a price range of $300,000 to $3,500,000 and a repair/improvement budget requirement of less than 20% of the Underlying Asset purchase price.

 

Locations that are highly desirable travel and short-term rental locations.

 

As part of our plan of operations, we intend to execute the following milestones over the course of the next 12 months:

 

Close 15 additional Underlying Assets.

 

Reach 15,000 users/investors.

 

Develop strategic relationships with new home developers for build-to-rent homes.

 

33

 

 

Leverage Policy

 

The company may borrow funds to purchase its properties and, if it does, may have up to a 85% loan to value ratio on any given property.

 

We may employ leverage to enhance total returns to our investors through a combination of senior financing on our real estate acquisitions, secured facilities, and capital markets financing transactions. We will seek to secure conservatively structured leverage that is long-term, non-recourse, non-mark-to-market financing to the extent obtainable on a cost effective basis. To the extent leverage is employed it may come either in the form of government-sponsored programs or other long-term, non-recourse, non-mark-to-market financing. The Managing Member may from time to time modify our leverage policy in its sole discretion. However, it is our policy to not borrow more than 85% of the greater of cost (before deducting depreciation or other non-cash reserves) or fair market value of our assets. We cannot exceed the leverage limit of our leverage policy unless any excess in borrowing over such level is approved by the Managing Member.

 

To the extent a Series does not employ leverage to fund the initial purchase of an asset, the Series may subsequently determine to obtain financing for the asset in accordance with this leverage policy. In such case, unless the financing (or any other refinancing) proceeds are needed, to fund the operations of an asset or reserves, the Managing Member may determine, in its sole discretion to distribute all or a portion of such proceeds to investors.

 

Our Investment Process

 

Mansion Group, our Managing Member, leverages its network of guest demand, experienced team members, and data analysis to make their investment decisions.

 

Sourcing

 

Our Managing Member will use an in-house acquisition team (using industry leading technology, intelligence, and analysis tools and screening tools) in collaboration with local real estate professionals to find and source investment opportunities. The opportunities may include individual homes listed on the MLS, bulk rental home portfolios, built-for-rent (“BFR”) communities, off-market deals sourced by its staff and from leads generated from its member network.

 

Due Diligence

 

Our Managing Member evaluates potential investments against its stated investment criteria. Once a geographic market is selected, their due diligence will focus on the sub-market and the property itself, including the particularities of the rental activity within such sub-market and its effect on the value of the property. Value analysis will include projected short-term rental rates and home values, relying on a combination of first-party data, automated valuation models, or AVMs, and third party independent appraisals. Property level analysis will look at standard risk factors including condition of title, structural defects in the home, environmental issues, and other hazards such as floods and earthquakes.

Property Purchase

 

A property will be purchased either by our Managing Member, or an affiliate of the Managing Member and then resold to a particular Series, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the series, or purchased directly by a Series from a third-party seller, in accordance with the acquisition mechanics set forth below.  Following acquisition of a property by a Series, the property will be renovated, to the extent necessary, and then listed for guests to book for short-term stays through a third-party site, such as Airbnb or Vrbo. If an Underlying Asset is renovated prior to the closing of the relevant Series offering, the funds required for renovations will be repaid by the applicable Series out of offering proceeds.

THE COMPANY’S PROPERTY

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION 

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

You should read the following discussion and analysis of the financial statements and financial condition of Mansion Collection and results of its operations together with the financial statements and related notes appearing at the end of this Offering Circular. This discussion contains forward-looking statements reflecting the company’s current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results and the timing of events may differ materially from those contained in these forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including those discussed in the section entitled “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Offering Circular.

 

Overview

 

Mansion Collection, LLC was formed on December 15, 2022 (“Inception”) in the State of Delaware. Mansion Collection is an investment vehicle which intends to enable investors to own fractional ownership of a specific short-term rental property. This lowers the cost-of-entry and minimizes the time commitment for real estate investing. An investment in the company entitles the investor to the potential economic and tax benefits normally associated with direct property ownership, while requiring no investor involvement in asset or property management.

 

Mansion Group is the company’s Managing Member. As the company’s Managing Member, it will manage the company’s day-to-day operations. Mansion Group is also the Managing Member of each Series and Mansion Life PM, a wholly owned subsidiary of Mansion Group, is the Property Manager of each Series and will manage each property that a Series acquires.

 

Going Concern

 

The company’s financial statements have been prepared assuming the company will continue as a going concern. The company is newly formed and has not generated revenue from operations. The company will require additional capital until revenue from operations are sufficient to cover operational costs. These matters raise substantial doubt about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

During the next 12 months, the company intends to fund operations through member advances and debt and/or equity financing. There are no assurances that management will be able to raise capital on terms acceptable to the company.  If it is unable to obtain sufficient amounts of additional capital, it may be required to reduce the scope of its planned development and operations, which could harm its business, financial condition and operating results. The company’s accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from these uncertainties.

 

Results of Operations

 

The company was formed on December 15, 2022 and has had no significant operations and no revenues since that date.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Due to its recent formation, the company has no cash, assets or liabilities reflected on its balance sheet. The company’s capital resources would be derived from operating cash flow, once it has raised sufficient funds through the offering of Series Interests to acquire short-term rental properties. The Series will be dependent on the net proceeds from this offering for funding to acquire these properties. For information regarding the anticipated use of proceeds from this offering, see “Use of Proceeds.”

 

The company may secure mortgage financing that is expected to be incurred by the relevant Series. For a description of the terms of this financing for a particular Series, please see the description of that Series under “The Company’s Business – Property Overview.”

Subsequent Events

 

Baroness Series

 

On May 31, 2023 the company established Series Baroness for the purposes of acquiring the property located at 405 Johnston Drive Pineville, NC 28134 from MCC.

 

On May 31, 2023 the company issued Mansion Group 500 Baroness Series Interests, at a price of $9 per Interest for a total consideration of $4,500.

 

On June 11, 2023 Baroness entered into a real estate purchase agreement with MCC to acquire the property located at 405 Johnston Drive Pineville, NC 28134. The purchase agreement provides for the purchase of the property, plus all furniture, fixtures, and linens, at an agreed upon purchase price plus closing costs.

 

Baroness and Mansion Life PM intend to enter into a property management agreement prior to the closing of the offering. Mansion Life PM is to manage the property located at 405 Johnston Drive Pineville, NC 28134.

 

Please see the unaudited proforma combined financial statements of Mansion Collection I LLC as of and for the period ended December 31, 2022. The unaudited pro forma combined financial information is provided for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the operating results or financial position that would have occurred if the transactions had been completed as of the dates set forth above, nor is it indicative of the future results or financial position of the combined company.

 

Trend Information

 

The company has a limited operating history and has not generated revenue from intended operations.  The company’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 company’s control could cause fluctuations in these conditions, including but not limited to recession, downturn or otherwise; government policies surrounding tenant rights; local ordinances where properties reside as a result of the coronavirus pandemic; travel restrictions; changes in the real estate market; and interest-rate fluctuations. Adverse developments in these general business and economic conditions could have a material adverse effect on the company’s financial condition and the results of its operations.

 

Despite high inflation and an elevated risk of recession, according to some analysts, demand for travel—especially for short-term rental stays, has grown substantially throughout 2022 and is likely to continue. We believe that following factors will contribute to an increase in the demand for short term rentals and an increase in the interest to purchase Series Interests in properties:

 

·The rise of the Digital Nomad: In 2021 over 15.5 million people classified themselves as "Digital Nomads" or workers who worked remotely AND moved frequently.

 

·U.S. housing price growth peaking in 2021.

 

·Changing tides of single-family home rentals in the U.S.: Single family rentals represent the fastest growing housing category in the United States. Led by millennials and the desire by remote workers for more space.

Conflicts of Interest

 

The company is subject to various conflicts of interest arising out of its relationship with Mansion Group, the company’s Managing Member, and its affiliates. These conflicts are discussed below.

 

General

 

The officer and directors of Mansion Group are also the key professionals of Mansion Collection and has legal obligations with respect to those entities that are similar to their obligations to the company. We do not have a policy that expressly prohibits our Managing Member or our and its directors, officers, security holders or affiliates from having a direct or indirect pecuniary interest in any asset to be acquired or disposed of by us or any Series or in any transaction to which we or any Series are a party or have an interest. Additionally, we do not have a policy that expressly prohibits any such persons from engaging for their own account in business activities of the types conducted by us. Specifically, our Operating Agreement does not prevent our Managing Member and its affiliates from engaging in additional fundraising, management or investment activities, some of which could compete with us. In the future, Mansion Group, any officers or directors of Mansion Group and other affiliates of Mansion Group may organize other real estate-related entities or provide real estate related services to us or other persons or entities.

 

Allocation of Acquisition Opportunities

 

From time to time, Mansion Group may create new entities that will acquire real estate assets and make offers of securities to accredited investors, foreign investors and under Regulation D or Regulation A or otherwise. Mansion Group will, in its sole discretion determine which entity will be responsible for acquiring a specific asset.

 

Allocation of the Company’s Affiliates’ Time

 

The company relies on Mansion Group’s real estate professionals and other staff, who act on behalf of Mansion Group and the company for the day-to-day operation of their respective businesses. Mr. Sutton is the Chief Executive Officer of Mansion Group, the Managing Member of the company, as well as the Manager of Mansion Life PM and the other subsidiaries of Mansion Group.

 

As a result of his and Mansion Group staff’s interests in other Mansion Group entities, the obligations to other investors and the fact that Mr. Sutton and the Mansion Group staff engage in and will continue to engage in other business activities, they will face conflicts of interest in allocating time among the company, Mansion Group, other related entities and other business activities in which they are involved. However, the company believes that Mansion Group and its affiliates have sufficient real estate professionals to fully discharge their responsibilities to the Mansion Group entities for which they work.

SECURITIES BEING OFFERED

 

The following descriptions of the company’s Series Interests, certain provisions of Delaware law, the Series Designation for each Series and the Operating Agreement are summaries and are qualified by reference to Delaware law, the Series Designation of the relevant Series and the Operating Agreement.

 

General

 

Title to each Underlying Asset

 

Title to the property comprising an Underlying Asset of a Series will be held by such Series.

 

Managing Member, Mansion Group

 

Mansion Group is the Managing Member of each Series.

 

Mansion Life PM, a wholly owned subsidiary of Mansion Group, is the Property Manager of each Series.

 

The Managing Member may amend any of the terms of the Operating Agreement of Mansion Collection or any Series Designation as it determines in its sole discretion. However, no amendment to the Operating Agreement may be made without the consent of the holders holding a majority of the outstanding Series Interests, that: (i) decreases the percentage of outstanding Series Interests required to take any action under the Agreement; (ii) materially adversely affects the rights of any of the members holding Series Interests (including adversely affecting the holders of any particular Series Interests as compared to holders of other Series Interests); (iii) modifies Section 11.1(a) of the Operating Agreement or gives any person the right to dissolve the company; or (iv) modifies the term of the company.

 

Distributions

 

Subject to Section 7.3 and Article XI of the Operating Agreement, as described in the Operating Agreement, and any Series Designation, any Free Cash Flows of each Series after the following:

 

Repayment of any amounts owed to Mansion Life PM, as Property Manager, for reimbursement of operating expenses paid by the Property Manager on behalf of the Series of the Series, including any accrued interest thereon and

 

the creation of such reserves as the Managing Member deems necessary, in its sole discretion, to meet future operating expenses,

 

will be applied and distributed 100% to the members of such Series on a pro rata basis (which, for the avoidance of doubt, may include the Managing Member or its affiliates that hold Series Interests). We intend to make quarterly distributions of Free Cash Flow to the extent that the Series generates sufficient cash to do so.

 

“Free Cash Flows” means any available cash for distribution generated from the net income received by a Series, as determined by the Managing Member to be in the nature of income as defined by U.S. GAAP, plus (i) any change in the net working capital (as shown on the balance sheet of such Series) (ii) any amortization of the relevant Underlying Asset (as shown on the income statement of such Series) and (iii) any depreciation of the relevant Underlying Asset (as shown on the income statement of such Series) and (iv) any other non-cash Operating Expenses less (a) any capital expenditure related to the Underlying Asset (as shown on the cash flow statement of such Series) (b) any other liabilities or obligations of the Series, including interest payments on debt obligations and tax liabilities, in each case to the extent not already paid or provided for and (c) upon the termination and winding up of a Series or the Company, all costs and expenses incidental to such termination and winding as allocated to the relevant Series in accordance with the terms of the Operating Agreement.

 

42

 

 

We intend to distribute 100% of the Free Cash Flows of a Series, after reimbursing Mansion Life PM, as Property Manager, for expenses incurred on behalf of a Series, plus accrued interest, and creating such reserves as the Managing Member deems necessary. A Series’ net income, and therefore, its Free Cash Flow, will be reduced by the expenses of that Series, including the following fees paid to our Managing Member and its affiliates:

 

Property Management Fee: We and Mansion Group generally seek to set these fees to be comparable to prevailing market rates for the management of short-term rental properties in the relevant geographic area. Currently these fees amount to 15% of the Gross Receipts of the Series.

 

Asset Management Fee: A quarterly fee equal to 0.25% (1% annually) of the capital contributions to the Series.

 

Sourcing Fee: Any portion of the sourcing fee for the Series that is not funded by the proceeds of the Series offering and that is booked as an expense of the Series, at the company and Mansion Group’ discretion. Please see “Use of Proceeds” for the sourcing fee applicable to each specific Series.

 

We and Mansion Group determined these fees internally without any independent assessment of comparable market fees. As a result, they may be higher than those available from unaffiliated third parties. After payment of all of the above fees, all other cash expenses and capital expenditures by the Series, it may not generate sufficient revenue to produce any Free Cash Flows or make distribution to investors.

 

Asset Management Fees

 

On a quarterly basis beginning on the first quarter end date following the initial closing date of the issuance of Series Interests, the Series shall pay the Managing Member an asset management fee, payable quarterly in arrears, equal to 0.25% (1% annualized) of the capital contributions to the Series.

 

Restrictions on Transfer

 

Pursuant to Section 4.2 of the Operating Agreement no Transfer of any Series Interest, whether voluntary or involuntary, will be valid or effective, and no transferee will become a substituted Member, unless the written consent of the Managing Member has been obtained, which consent may be withheld in its sole and absolute discretion. Furthermore, no transfer of any Series Interests, whether voluntary or involuntary, will be valid or effective unless the Managing Member determines, after consultation with legal counsel acting for the company that such transfer will not, unless waived by the Managing Member:

 

result in the transferee directly or indirectly owning in excess of 9.8% of the aggregate outstanding Series Interests;

 

result in there being 2,000 or more beneficial owners (as such term is used under the Exchange Act) or 500 or more beneficial owners that are not accredited investors (as defined under the Securities Act) of any Series, as specified in Section 12(g)(1)(A)(ii) of the Exchange Act, unless the Series Interests have been registered under the Exchange Act or the company is otherwise an Exchange Act reporting company;

 

cause all or any portion of the assets of the company or any Series to constitute plan assets for purposes of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974;

 

adversely affect the company or such Series, or subject the company, the Series, the Managing Member or any of their respective affiliates to any additional regulatory or governmental requirements or cause the company to be disqualified as a limited liability company or subject the company, any Series, the Managing Member or any of their respective affiliates to any tax to which it would not otherwise be subject;

 

require registration of the company, any Series or any Series Interests under any securities laws of the United States of America, any state thereof or any other jurisdiction; or

 

violate or be inconsistent with any representation or warranty made by the transferring Member.

 

43

 

 

Redemption

 

In order to provide an opportunity to investors who need to establish liquidity after acquiring Series Interests, the company is providing a limited redemption right to investors. Unless stated otherwise in the respective Series Designation and Subject to Section 7.5 of the Operating Agreement, a Member associated with one or more Series may request the redemption of his, her, or its Series Interests as follows:

 

For redemption requests made in the first twelve (12) months following the acquisition of Series Interests in an offering, the redemption price will be equal to seventy-five percent (75%) of the purchase price of the Series Interests being redeemed reduced by (i) the aggregate sum of distributions already paid to the Member with respect to such Series Interests, rounded down to the nearest cent, and (ii) the aggregate sum of distributions, if any, that are declared but unpaid with respect to such Series Interests subject to the redemption request.

 

For redemption requests made in the second twelve (12) months following the acquisition of Series Interests in an offering, the redemption price will be equal to ninety percent (90%) of the purchase price of the Series Interests being redeemed, which will not be reduced by the aggregate sum of distributions, if any, that have been paid with respect to such Series Interests prior to the date of the redemption request or have been declared by the Managing Member but are unpaid with record dates during the period between the redemption request date and the redemption date.

 

For redemption requests made thereafter, the redemption price will be equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the purchase price of the Series Interests being redeemed and will similarly not be reduced by paid or declare but unpaid distributions.

 

The Managing Member may in its sole discretion, amend, suspend, or terminate the redemption plan at any time without prior notice, including to protect the Series’ operations and non-redeemed Members, to prevent an undue burden on the Series’ liquidity, to maintain the Company’s tax status, to comply with federal securities laws and regulations, or for any other reason.

 

Voting Rights

 

Investors have limited voting rights, and substantial powers are delegated to our Managing Member under Section 5.1 of the company’s Operating Agreement for which a vote of the Series Interest holders is not required.

 

When submitting a matter of vote, a holder of a Series Interest, is entitled to one vote per Series Interest on any and all matters submitted for the consent or approval of members generally. No separate vote or consent of the holders of Series Interests of a specific Series shall be required for the approval of any matter, except for matters specified in the Series Designation of such Series.

 

For each existing Series, the affirmative vote of the holders of not less than a majority of the Series Interests of the Series then outstanding shall be required for: (a) any amendment to the Operating Agreement (including the Series Designation) that would adversely change the rights of such Series Interests; (b) mergers, consolidations or conversions of such Series or the company; and (c) all such other matters as the Managing Member, in its sole discretion, determines shall require the approval of the holders of the outstanding Series Interests of such Series voting as a separate class.

 

44

 

 

The affirmative vote of at least two thirds of the total votes that may be cast by all outstanding Series Interests, voting together as a class, may elect to remove the Managing Member at any time if the Managing Member is found by a non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have committed fraud in connection with a Series or the company and which has a material adverse effect the company. If the Managing Member is so removed, the members, by a plurality vote, may appoint a replacement managing member or approve the liquidation and termination of the company and each Series in accordance with the provisions of Article XI of the Operating Agreement. In the event of the resignation of the Managing Member, the Managing Member shall nominate a successor Managing Member and the vote of a majority of the outstanding Series Interests shall be required to elect such successor Managing Member. The Managing Member shall continue to serve as the Managing Member of the company until such date as a successor Managing Member is so elected.

 

Confidential Information

 

The purpose of Article XIV of the Operating Agreement is to protect confidential information of the company that would be available to Series Interest holders but not subject to disclosure under federal securities laws or otherwise publicly available. Such information would include personal information of other investors held by the company, personal information provided in connection with bookings, and other information in the books and records of the company that is not public and to which a Series Interest holder requests and receives access. Note, this confidentiality obligation does not extend to disclosures which are required by law or to which the Managing Member consents.

Except as otherwise set forth in the applicable Series Designation, within 120 calendar days after the end of the fiscal year and 90 calendar days after the end of the semi-annual reporting date, the Managing Member must use its commercially reasonable efforts to circulate to each Member electronically by e-mail or made available via an online platform:

provided, that notwithstanding the foregoing, if the company or any Series is required to disclose financial information pursuant to the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (including without limitations periodic reports under the Exchange Act or under Rule 257 under Regulation A of the Securities Act), then compliance with such provisions shall be deemed compliance with the above requirements and no further or earlier financial reports shall be required to be provided to the Economic Members of the applicable Series with such reporting requirement.

 

Our Managing Member intends to file with the Commission periodic reports as required by applicable securities laws.

The company’s Operating Agreement includes a forum selection provision that requires any suit, action, or proceeding seeking to enforce any provision of or based on any matter arising out of or in connection with the Operating Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby, excluding matters arising under the federal securities laws, be brought in state or federal court of competent jurisdiction located within the State of Delaware.

 

This forum selection provision may limit investors’ ability to bring claims in judicial forums that they find favorable to such disputes and may discourage lawsuits with respect to such claims.

ONGOING REPORTING AND SUPPLEMENTS TO THIS OFFERING CIRCULAR

 

The company will be required to make annual and semi-annual filings with the Commission. The company will make annual filings on Form 1-K, which will be due by the end of April each year and will include audited financial statements for the previous fiscal year. The company will make semi-annual filings on Form 1-SA, which will be due by September 28 each year, which will include unaudited financial statements for the six months to June 30. The company will also file a Form 1-U to announce important events such as the loss of a senior officer, a change in auditors, or certain types of capital-raising. The company will be required to keep making these reports unless it files a Form 1-Z to exit the reporting system, which it will only be able to do if it has less than 300 unitholders of record and have filed at least one Form 1-K.

 

At least every 12 months, the company will file a post-qualification amendment to the Offering Statement of which this Offering Circular forms a part, to include the company’s recent financial statements.

 

The company may supplement the information in this Offering Circular by filing a Supplement with the Commission.

 

All these filings will be available on the Commission’s EDGAR filing system. You should read all the available information before investing.

 

Relaxed Ongoing Reporting Requirements

 

If the company becomes a public reporting company in the future, it will be required to publicly report on an ongoing basis as an “emerging growth company” (as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, which the company refers to as the JOBS Act) under the reporting rules set forth under the Exchange Act. For so long as the company remains an “emerging growth company,” the company may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other Exchange Act reporting companies that are not “emerging growth companies,” including but not limited to:

 

not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act;

 

taking advantage of extensions of time to comply with certain new or revised financial accounting standards;

 

being permitted to comply with reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in the company’s periodic reports and proxy statements; and

 

being exempt from the requirement to hold a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and unit holder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

 

If the company becomes a public reporting company in the future, the company expects to take advantage of these reporting exemptions until it is no longer an emerging growth company. The company would remain an “emerging growth company” for up to five years, although if the market value of its Common Stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of any June 30 before that time, the company would cease to be an “emerging growth company” as of the following December 31.

 

If the company does not become a public reporting company under the Exchange Act for any reason, the company will be required to publicly report on an ongoing basis under the reporting rules set forth in Regulation A for Tier 2 issuers. The ongoing reporting requirements under Regulation A are more relaxed than for “emerging growth companies” under the Exchange Act. The differences include, but are not limited to, being required to file only annual and semi-annual reports, rather than annual and quarterly reports. Annual reports are due within 120 calendar days after the end of the issuer’s fiscal year, and semi-annual reports are due within 90 calendar days after the end of the first six months of the issuer’s fiscal year.

 

In either case, the company will be subject to ongoing public reporting requirements that are less rigorous than Exchange Act rules for companies that are not “emerging growth companies,” and its unitholders could receive less information than they might expect to receive from more mature public companies.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

 

June 12, 2023

 

To:Board of Directors, MANSION COLLECTION I LLC
Re:Inception 2022 Financial Statement Audit

 

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of MANSION COLLECTION I LLC (a series limited liability company organized in Delaware) (the “Company”), which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2022, and the related statements of income, members’ equity/deficit, and cash flows for the inception period from December 15, 2022 through December 31, 2022, and the related notes to the financial statements.

 

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

 

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

 

Auditor’s Responsibility

 

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit of the Company’s financial statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

 

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.  We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022, and the results of its operations, shareholders’ equity/deficit and cash flows for the inception period from December 15, 2022 through December 31, 2022 thus ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

MANSION COLLECTION I LLC
Notes to the Financial Statements
Years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021
See accompanying Independent Auditor’s Report

 

NOTE 1 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS

 

MANSION COLLECTION I LLC (“the Company”) is a limited liability organized under the laws of the State of Delaware on December 15, 2022. The Company is newly formed and plans to hold and operate a real estate holding and rental business upon raising capital (see Note 9).

 

The manager (“Manager”) of the Company is Mansion Group Inc. which provides a technology platform. The Company will acquire additional assets, seed them into series companies and raise capital from outside investors (See Notes 3 and 9).

 

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The Company has entered into an agreement to acquire a working real estate asset, and its liabilities, from a related party, Mansion Collection Charlotte, LLC, in exchange for cash raised from outside investors (see Note 3 and 9). The Company may enter into future purchase agreements from Mansion Collection Charlotte, LLC in the future.

 

The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for the fair presentation of the financial statements for the years presented have been included.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the footnotes thereto. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Risks and Uncertainties

 

The Company has a limited operating history. The Company's business and operations are sensitive to general business and economic conditions in the United States. A host of factors beyond the Company's control could cause fluctuations in these conditions. Adverse conditions may include: recession, downturn or otherwise, changes in regulations or restrictions in imports, competition or changes in consumer taste. These adverse conditions could affect the Company's financial condition and the results of its operations. As of December 31, 2022, the Company is operating as a going concern.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash consists of funds held in the Company’s checking account. The Company maintains its cash with a major financial institution located in the United States of America, which it believes to be credit worthy. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insures balances up to $250,000. At times, the Company may maintain balances in excess of the federally insured limits. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had $0 of cash on hand.

 

Sales Taxes

 

Various states impose a sales tax on the Company’s sales to non-exempt customers. The Company collects the sales tax from customers and remits the entire amount to each respective state. The Company’s accounting policy is to exclude the tax collected and remitted to the states from revenue and cost of sales.

 

F-9

 

 

Long-Lived Assets

 

Assets are recorded at cost if the expenditure exceeds $1,000. Expenditures for renewals and improvements that significantly add to the productive capacity or extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. When equipment is retired or sold, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the balance sheet accounts and the resultant gain or loss is reflected in income.

 

Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method, based on useful lives of the assets which range from three to thirty years depending on the asset type.

 

The Company will review the carrying value of property and equipment for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable from the estimated future cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. In cases where undiscounted expected future cash flows are less than the carrying value, an impairment loss is recognized equal to an amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of assets. The factors considered by management in performing this assessment include current operating results, trends and prospects, the manner in which the property is used, and the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition, and other economic factors. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had not yet acquired any fixed assets.

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

The Company has determined the fair value of certain assets and liabilities in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), which provides a framework for measuring fair value.

 

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques should maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

 

A fair value hierarchy has been established, which prioritizes the valuation inputs into three broad levels.

 

·Level 1 inputs consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

 

·Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the related asset or liability.

 

·Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs related to the asset or liability.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company is taxed as a partnership for US federal tax purposes. Items of income, loss, credit and gain are passed through to the members of the Company. The Company complies with FASB ASC 740 for accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company’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 Company’s evaluation, it has been concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Company’s financial statements. The Company 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 Company is likely to incur taxable losses in the short-term and is current in its tax filing obligations. The Company is not presently subject to any income tax audit in any taxing jurisdiction.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company adopted ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, as of January 1, 2019 (the “transition date”) using the full retrospective method. There was no transition adjustment recorded upon the adoption of ASC 606. Under ASC 606, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services.

 

F-10

 

 

To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that an entity determines are within the scope of ASC 606, the Company performs the following steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. At contract inception, once the contract is determined to be within the scope of ASC 606, the Company assesses the goods or services promised within each contract and determines those that are performance obligations and assesses whether each promised good or service is distinct. The Company then recognizes as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied.

 

Revenue rental income will be recognized as earned less allowances for rent collection deficiencies.

 

Sales and Marketing Expenses

 

The Company expenses advertising costs as they are incurred.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In February 2017, FASB issued ASU No. 2017-02, “Leases (Topic 842),” that requires organizations that lease assets, referred to as "lessees," to recognize on the balance sheet the assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by those leases with lease terms of more than 12 months. ASU 2017-02 will also require disclosures to help investors and other financial statement users better understand the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases and will include qualitative and quantitative requirements. The new standard for nonpublic entities will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and early application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the updated standard will have on its financial statements and related disclosures. The Company will adopt this standard after required to and when applicable to the Company.

 

The FASB issues ASUs to amend the authoritative literature in ASC. There have been a number of ASUs to date, including those above, that amend the original text of ASC. Management believes that those issued to date either (i) provide supplemental guidance, (ii) are technical corrections, (iii) are not applicable to the Company, or (iv) are not expected to have a material impact the Company’s financial statements.

 

NOTE 3 – PLANNED ACQUISITIONS

 

As part of the acquisitions and fund raising described in Notes 1 and 9, on June 11, 2023, the Series Baroness entered into a real estate purchase agreement for a real estate property from an affiliate company, Mansion Collection Charlotte, LLC (“Seller”) located at 405 Johnston Dr., Charlotte, NC (“Planned Asset Purchase”) for the amount of $662,884 and anticipates closing on the acquisition prior to December 1, 2023. Also prior to December 1, 2023, the Company intends to assign the Baroness Purchase Agreement to a wholly owned subsidiary of Mansion Series Baroness, using the proceeds from the offering to close the Planned Asset Purchase.

 

Although upon acquisition the Company will terminate the master lease as held by Seller, the Planned Asset Purchase asset has been currently operated under a master lease agreement with Mansion Group, an affiliate of Seller and the Manager of the Company.

 

Accordingly, the Company provides the following separately-stated and pro-forma balance sheet and statements of operations of the operating real estate assets of Seller. The financial statements for the calendar years 2022 and 2021 of Seller are also attached.

 

NOTE 4 – INCOME TAX PROVISION

 

As discussed above, the Company is a partnership for federal income tax purposes. The Company is expected to incur taxable losses in the short-term and any items of income or expense are allocated to the member(s) on a prorata basis.

 

Tax returns once filed which will remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service under the statute of limitations for a period of three years from the date it is filed.

 

F-11

 

 

After the Planned Asset Purchase, the Series Baroness will make an election to be taxed as a corporation for federal income tax purposes.

 

NOTE 5 – MEMBERSHIP INTEREST

 

The Company has a single member though, as discussed in Note 9, individual series companies may have different membership interests.

 

NOTE 6 –DEBT

 

The Company does not have any borrowings.

 

NOTE 7 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Litigation

 

The Company, from time to time, may be involved with lawsuits arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of the Company's management, any liability resulting from such litigation would not be material in relation to the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows. There is no pending or threatened litigation.

 

NOTE 8 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

Related-Party Transactions

 

As discussed above, the Company has entered into a sale purchase agreement to acquire a real estate asset from an affiliate company. The Company has endeavored to structure the sale on arm’s-length terms, but, since the entities are related, there is no guarantee that the sales price is the same as could be obtained on the open market.

 

NOTE 9 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

Reg A Securities Offering and Associated Acquisition

 

The Company is in the process of preparing for a securities offering exempt from registration under Regulation A. The Company intends to raise funds within its series companies sufficient to complete the acquisition described in Note 3 within its series company.

 

On May 31, 2023, the Company established Series Baroness for the purposes of acquiring the property located at 405 Johnston Drive from Seller as described above. On June 11, 2023, the Series Baroness entered into a real estate purchase agreement (the "Baroness Purchase Agreement") with Mansion Collection Charlotte that will be assigned to a wholly owned subsidiary of Series Baroness prior to closing. The Baroness Purchase Agreement provides for the Series Baroness' purchase of the Johnston property, plus all furniture, fixtures, and linens, at an agreed upon purchase price plus closing costs. Concurrently with the assignment of the Baroness Purchase Agreement, the Company will enter into a Property Management Agreement with Mansion Life Properties NC LLC, another related party, to manage the property under the Series Baroness.

 

Management’s Evaluation

 

Management has evaluated subsequent events through June 12, 2023, the date the financial statements were available to be issued.  Based on this evaluation, no additional material events were identified which require adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

NOTE 1: DESCRIPTION OF TRANSACTION

 

Mansion Collection I LLC - Series Baroness (the “Series Baroness”) was established in 2023, for the purpose of acquiring the property located at 405 Johnstone Dr., Charlotte, NC (the “405 Johnstone”) from a related party.

 

Acquisition Mechanics

 

Typically, each series will acquire its series property prior to the commencement or closing of that series’ offering. Each series property will be fully described in a post-qualification offering statement amendment relating to the relevant series. In each such offering circular that is included in any such amendment, information relating to the series property such as the description and specifications of the series property, the purchase price of the series property and the relevant terms of purchase shall be disclosed.

 

It is not anticipated that a series will own any assets other than the series property and associated furnishings, plus cash reserves for maintenance, insurance and other expenses pertaining to the series property and amounts earned by the series from the monetization of the series property, if any. Each series may hold the specific property that it acquires in a wholly owned subsidiary which would be a limited liability company organized under laws of the state of Delaware.

 

NOTE 2: BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The historical financial information has been adjusted to give pro forma effect to events that are (i) directly attributable to the transaction, (ii) factually supportable, and (iii) with respect to the unaudited pro forma combined balance sheets and unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations, expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results.

 

The unaudited pro forma combined financials statements of the Company and the Series Baroness has been prepared to reflect the effects of the subsequent Series acquisitions as if each occurred on January 1, 2022.

 

The Series property was operated under a master lease with an affiliate of the Company prior to its acquisition.
