Company Overview
Landa App 3 LLC (“we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”) was formed in June 2021 as a series limited liability company pursuant to Sections 18-215 and 18-218 of the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act (the “LLC Act”) in order to offer a unique investment opportunity for eligible investors to benefit from the performance of curated and fully managed rental real estate properties.
From time to time, the Company will form separate series of membership interests (each a “Series” and the “Series”) for the purpose of offering a unique investment opportunity for eligible investors to benefit from the performance of curated and fully managed rental real estate properties. Each Series is formed to hold a residential rental property as its primary asset (each a “Property” and collectively, the “Properties”).
The Company generally offers 100,000 membership interests (each a “Share” and collectively, the “Shares”) in each of the Series (the respective offerings of Shares of each Series each individually referred to herein as an “Offering”). Investors that purchase Shares in any Series acquire a right to receive monthly distributions (which the Company also refers to as “dividends”) of a portion of the net rental income of such Series. The total distribution amount by a Series, if any, will be calculated by the Manager, acting in its sole discretion, and will be based on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the total number of Shares sold, fees, expenses, taxes, amounts allocated to reserves, economic conditions, debt service requirements, actual and accrued cash flows of the applicable Series, and other factors that could differ materially from our current expectations. The total distribution amount, if any, will be allocated to each holder of Shares of the applicable Series on a pro-rata basis based on the number of Shares of that Series held.
The Company and each Series is managed by Landa Holdings, Inc. (the “Manager”).
All Shares are offered through the Landa Mobile App.

Properties
Descriptions of the Properties as of December 31, 2022 can be found under “Description of the Properties” of our Offering Circular, which can be found here and is incorporated herein by reference.
Investment Objectives
Our primary investment objectives are to:
● | realize growth in the value of our Property investments; |
● | maximize net rental income in each of the Properties; and |
● | preserve, protect and return investor capital contribution. |
The Company cannot assure you that the Company will attain these objectives or that the value of our assets will not decrease.
Investment Strategy
Our investment strategy is to acquire residential properties on an opportunistic basis. The Company will focus on multi-family homes, which may include newly constructed properties in neighborhoods with growing rental demand, strong rental history and in geographic regions which provide steady real estate asset growth, and properties that may need improvements or renovations. The Company intends to leverage our industry expertise, as well as our proprietary technology, to help streamline our property acquisition process.
The Company will focus on acquiring market ready properties, which may include existing income-producing properties or newly constructed properties, in neighborhoods with growing rental demand, strong rental history and in geographic regions which provide steady real estate asset growth. Our acquisition strategy does not include major rehabilitation or repurposing of existing structures, or new ground-up development.
Our expected target markets are neighborhoods surrounding metropolitan statistical areas of at least one million (1,000,000) residents, which the Company estimates having historical capitalization rates ranging from approximately five percent (5%) to ten percent (10%) for mutli-family homes. In addition, the Company expect to target cities with growing populations or cities that show strong rental demand.
Governmental Regulation
Each Series’ respective business practices and Properties are subject to regulation by numerous federal, state and local authorities. See the description of certain applicable regulations under “Regulations” of our Offering Circular, which can be found here and is incorporated herein by reference, for a discussion of applicable governmental regulations.
Industry
Residential Housing
Residential housing is the largest real estate asset class in the United States, with approximately 140 million total housing units and a total value of more than $43.4 trillion according to Zillow.com as of December 31, 2022. Since 2010, the multi-family rental market has seen considerable growth in rents, and we expect this trend to continue as the economy recovers from the COVID-19 pandemic. While 2020 saw a shift from urban to suburban, we believe that multi-family housing demand remains high as renters continue to delay homeownership due to a number of challenges involved with becoming a homeowner. First, mortgage financing for the consumer is now harder to obtain due to conservative mortgage underwriting standards which arose after the global financial crisis. Many Americans have limited credit and do not have the liquidity required to put a down payment on a home. Second, we believe that the U.S. is undergoing a demographic shift away from the desire to own a home. Americans are looking for more flexibility and mobility in their housing. Finally, over recent years, home prices have increased faster than wage growth which has created an affordability problem for potential homeowners. These factors have shifted the landscape in the U.S. housing market over the recent years and have contributed to the rise in the demand for rental housing.
2
The Company believes that the increased demand for rental housing has created the institutionalization of multi-family investment ownership. Prior to 2012, the multi-family rental sector primarily consisted of smaller, non-institutional owners and managers, however, larger institutional investors have emerged in recent years. Despite this growth, it is estimated that institutional owners only represent approximately 375,000 units or 2.5% of all multi-family rental units in the United States, according to Institutional Real Estate, Inc. The expansion of institutional owners into this asset class has led to management efficiency and technology development in the industry which has improved the cost to manage a rental home. Operating metrics for institutionally managed multi-family rentals are now comparable to traditional single-family properties as multi-family rental properties exhibit similar occupancy levels to single-family properties with lower turnover rates. In addition, according to the National Association of Realtors, the multi-family housing market is the most liquid real estate asset class in the United States, with an average of 5.2 million sales of existing homes per year from 2005 to 2021.
Supply: Historically Low and Favorable Conditions Are Expected to Continue
The housing market in the United States has not kept pace with population growth and household formation resulting in a shortage in supply. The Company believes that this supply imbalance has led to higher demand for housing across the country which ultimately affects housing prices. Due to this shortage of housing, the median home prices have increased much faster than what the consumer can afford creating an affordability problem for many Americans, exemplified in the home price to income ratio. In 1995, the home price to income ratio was 4.24, meaning the median cost of a single-family home in the U.S. was 4.24x the average median income. As of December 31, 2021, the home price to income ratio was 7.58, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis. The Company believes that the “American Dream” of owning is starting to fade from the psychology of the U.S. consumer due to the hurdles associated with purchasing a home and the limited affordable supply available. This is exemplified by changes in the homeownership over the past 15 years where the homeownership rate across the country decreased in 90% of U.S. metropolitan areas. As of the end of 2021, the homeownership rate was 65% compared to 69% at its all-time high in 2004, according to a report by the U.S. Census Bureau.
We believe that the multi-family rental industry is well-positioned to provide Americans, who prefer the lifestyle associated with being in a multi-family home, an affordable housing solution as supply constraints continue to keep home prices high and the rate of homeownership low.
Demand: Demographic Shifts and Professionally Managed Services
As the hurdles of homeownership continue to grow for the average American, the Company believes that the demand for rental housing has increased. This shift in demand for rental housing is one of the financial components driven by affordability, however, there is also a demographic shift in the perspective of housing. Delayed household formation, desired mobility, and the illiquidity associated with owning a home are large contributors to the increasing demand for rental housing in the U.S., specifically in the “millennial” population. Millennials, while potentially experiencing higher wage growth compared to previous generations, are also plagued with student debt. According to the Department of Education, as of December 2021, borrowers between ages 24-35 have an average outstanding loan balance of $33,600. This amounts to roughly 8% of the $408,100 median home price in the U.S. Said differently, many millennials have outstanding debt instead of liquidity that could be utilized for a down payment of a home. Millennials are also forming households much later than previous generations, meaning marriage and children are coming later in life. Typically, as these life events happen, the demand for more square footage and transition from apartment living to a single-family household occurs. The Company believes that the combination of student debt and the delay in household formation amongst the millennial population have contributed to the demand for multi-family rental housing.
In addition to these structural hurdles that millennials face with respect to homeownership, we believe that there are psychological and geographic factors that play a part in the demand for rental housing. Psychologically, many millennials do not place as high of a value on homeownership as compared to previous generations. The purchase of a house is typically the largest investment that occurs in an individual’s lifetime and millennials are the generation that witnessed this class of investment depreciate during the financial recession. In addition, many millennials have more mobility due to remote working and improved technology. As commerce, industry and technology improve, fewer Americans will be required to be in an office which may lead to an increase in moving– especially in light of the recent move by many businesses to institute “work from home” policies as a result of the outbreak of COVID-19. The flexibility of being on an annual lease compared to owning a home allows for this optionality and thus aids to drive demand for multi-family rentals.
3
Lastly, we believe demand for multi-family rentals will increase as the sophistication of the companies offering housing solutions improves. Since the recession, there has been an influx of institutional capital into the multi-family rental space which has changed the general landscape of rental housing. We believe they have played a significant role in changing the product. Institutional ownership of multi-family rental homes has provided services, technology and convenience to those looking to rent a multi-family home and these institutions have been well-positioned to experience the demographic shift away from homeownership. We believe that the institutionalization of the multi-family rental industry provides professional management services that make the renting process even easier for many Americans.
We believe that these drivers have impacted the multi-family rental industry positively already. Multi-family rental demand has increased by 14% in the past 10 years according to the Census American Community Survey, compared to 31% for single-family properties. Additionally, multi-family properties have outperformed single-family properties with respect to rent growth, vacancies, and rent payment delinquencies. As consumer preferences related to housing evolve, we expect that the demand for multi-family rental housing will increase and outpace other housing sectors.
Our Manager
Services Provided
Each Series has entered into a management agreement with the Manager (each, a “Management Agreement”). Pursuant to the Management Agreement, the Manager, among other things, provides certain property management, consulting, Landa Mobile App hosting and support and legal and accounting services to each Series, as well as provides each Series with a management team and the appropriate support personnel to meet our operational needs. Under the Management Agreement, the Manager’s services include, but are not limited to, identifying properties for potential acquisition, conducting any required due diligence with respect to each property, obtaining property appraisals, coordinating inspections and financing (if needed), negotiating the purchase of the properties, arranging for rental of any properties, undertaking, and providing customized advisory services. In addition, the Manager granted each Series a license to use the Landa Mobile App.
Investment Decisions and Asset Management
Within our investment policies and objectives, the Manager has discretion with respect to the selection of specific investments and the purchase and sale of the Properties. We believe that successful real estate investment requires the implementation of strategies that permit favorable purchases, effective property management, and timely disposition of such Properties. As such, the Manager employs a disciplined investment approach that utilizes its experience with a structure that emphasizes thorough market research, stringent underwriting standards and an extensive down-side analysis of the risks of each investment. The approach also includes active management of each Property acquired.
To execute our disciplined investment approach, the Manager takes responsibility for the business plan of each investment. The following practices summarize our investment approach:
● | Local Market Research – The Manager extensively researches the acquisition and underwriting of each transaction, utilizing both real time market data and the transactional knowledge and experience of our network of professionals and in market relationships. |
4
● | Underwriting Discipline – The Manager follows a tightly controlled and managed process to examine all elements of a potential investment, including its location, income-producing capacity, prospects for long-range appreciation, tax considerations and liquidity. |
● | Risk Management – Risk management is a fundamental principle in the management of each of the Properties. Operating or performance risks arise at the investment level and often require real estate operating experience to cure. The Manager reviews the operating performance of investments against projections and provides the oversight necessary to detect and resolve issues as they arise. |
● | Property Management – Prior to the purchase of a Property, the Manager develops an asset business strategy which is customized based on the acquisition and underwriting data. This is a forecast of the action items to be taken and the capital needed to achieve the anticipated returns. The Manager reviews asset business strategies regularly to anticipate changes or opportunities in the market during a given phase of a real estate cycle. |
Investments in Property
Our investment in real estate generally takes the form of holding fee simple title to the Properties.
Our obligation to purchase any Property generally is conditioned upon the delivery and verification of certain documents from the seller or developer, including, where appropriate:
● | plans and specifications; |
● | evidence of marketable title subject to such liens and encumbrances as are acceptable to the Manager; |
● | auditable financial statements covering recent operations of Properties having operating histories; |
● | title and liability insurance policies; and |
● | any other documents or materials required in order to evaluate an investment in a property. |
In purchasing, leasing and developing Properties, we are subject to risks generally incident to the ownership of real estate. For more information, please see the section entitled “Risk Factors – Risks Related to the Properties and the Offered Series” of our latest Offering Circular, which can be found here and is incorporated herein by reference.
Investment Process
The Manager has the authority to make all the decisions regarding the Series’ investments consistent with the investment objectives and leverage policies approved by the Manager and subject to the limitations in each Series’ Operating Agreement.
The Manager focuses on the sourcing, acquisition and management of residential properties. The Manager sources investments from former and current financing and investment partners, third-party intermediaries, competitors looking to share risk and investment, and securitization or lending departments of major financial institutions.
In selecting investments, the Manager utilizes its investment and underwriting process, which focuses on ensuring that each prospective investment is being evaluated appropriately. The criteria that the Manager will consider when evaluating prospective opportunities include:
● | macroeconomic conditions that may influence operating performance; |
5
● | real estate market factors that may influence real estate valuations, real estate financing or the economic performance of real estate generally; |
● | fundamental analysis of the real estate, including tenant rosters, lease terms, zoning, operating costs and the asset’s overall competitive position in its market; |
● | real estate and leasing market conditions affecting the Properties; |
● | the cash flow in place and projected to be in place over the expected holding period of the Properties; |
● | the appropriateness of estimated costs and timing associated with capital improvements of the Properties; |
● | a valuation of the investment, investment basis relative to its value and the ability to liquidate an investment through a sale or refinancing of the Properties; |
● | review of third-party reports, including appraisals, engineering and environmental reports; |
● | physical inspections of the real estate and analysis of markets; and |
● | the overall structure of the investment and rights in the transaction documentation. |
The Manager analyzes each potential investment’s risk-return profile and reviews financing sources, if applicable, to ensure that the investment fits within the parameters of financing facilities and to ensure performance of the real estate asset.
Disposition Policies
We intend to hold and manage the Properties we acquire for an indefinite period of time. If the Manager, acting in its sole discretion, decides to sell a particular property, it will seek to achieve a selling price that maximizes the distributions to investors based on then-current market conditions. We cannot assure you that this objective will be realized.
The determination of when a particular Property should be sold or otherwise disposed of will be made by the Manager, acting in its sole discretion, after consideration of relevant factors, including, but not limited to, prevailing and projected economic conditions, whether the value of the Property is anticipated to appreciate or decline substantially, how any existing leases on a Property may impact the potential sales price, and any other factors that the Manager may deem relevant. Pursuant to the applicable Series’ operating agreement, as well as the Company’s operating agreement, the Manager may determine that it is in the best interests of members to dispose of a Property.
Following the sale of a Property, the Manager will distribute the proceeds of such sale pro-rata to the holders of the Shares of the given Series (after payment of any accrued liabilities or debt on the Property or of the Series at that time).
Operating Expenses
Each Series is responsible for certain expenses related to such Series or the Property held by such Series (hereinafter “Operating Expenses”), including, but not limited to:
● | interest expense under the applicable acquisition note issued by such Series to the Manager (each an “Acquisition Note”); |
6
● | any and all fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with the management of a Property, including Monthly Management Fees, Home Ownership Association fees, taxes, marketing fees, security and maintenance fees; |
● | any and all insurance premiums or expenses, including property insurance in connection with the Series’ Property; |
● | any withholding or transfer taxes imposed on the Company or a Series as a result of its or their earnings, investments or withdrawals in connection with the Property; |
● | any governmental fees imposed on the capital of the Company or a Series or incurred in connection with compliance with applicable regulatory requirements in connection with the Property; |
● | any legal fees and costs (including settlement costs) arising in connection with any disputes with tenants, litigation or regulatory investigation instituted against the Series or a Manager in connection with the affairs of the Series; |
● | any fees, costs and expenses of engaging a third-party registrar and transfer agent appointed by the Manager in connection with a Series; |
● | any indemnification payments to be made pursuant to the obligations of the Series’ Operating Agreement; |
● | the fees and expenses of the Company’s or a Series’ counsel in connection with advice directly relating to the Series’ legal affairs; |
● | the costs of any other outside appraisers, inspectors, valuation firms, accountants, attorneys or other experts or consultants engaged by the Manager in connection with the operations of the Series; and |
● | any similar expenses that may be determined to be Operating Expenses, as determined by the Manager in its reasonable discretion. |
The Manager bears its own expenses of an ordinary nature, including all administrative, operating and personnel costs and expenses, taxes, remuneration and expenses paid to employees and utilities expenditures.
If the Operating Expenses exceed the amount of revenues generated from a Series and cannot be covered by any Reserves of such Series’ Property, the Manager may (a) pay such Operating Expenses and seek reimbursement and/or (b) loan the amount of the Operating Expenses to the applicable Series and be entitled to reimbursement of such amount from future revenues generated by such Series. In the case that the Manager provides a loan to a Series, the Series will be obligated to pay interest no greater than 7% on that loan at a rate to be determined solely by the Manager. See “Description of Our Business—Our Manager — Manager Compensation.”
Further, if the Operating Expenses exceed the amount of revenues generated from a Series and cannot be covered by any Reserves of such Series, then you may be unable to receive distributions until the Series can generate revenue.
The Landa Mobile App
The Manager owns and operates a mobile app-based investment platform, which we call the “Landa Mobile App.” Through the Landa Mobile App, investors can:
● | Browse Series’ Offerings and obtain information about a Series and/or Property, including location, property type and projected rental income; |
● | Analyze Properties by reviewing neighborhood statistics and comparable properties in the relevant market; |
7
● | Connect a bank account to the Landa Mobile App, transfer funds to their Landa Account and monitor their Landa Account balance; |
● | Review the Series Materials for the applicable Series; |
● | Transact entirely online, including executing digital legal documentation, funds transfer and ownership recordation; and |
● | Manage and track investments through an online portfolio; and receive distributions and regular financial and tax reports. |
We intend to offer and sell the Shares in our Offerings exclusively through the Landa Mobile App.
Competition
There is significant competition in the real estate industry, including numerous REITs with property acquisition objectives similar to the Series. In addition, we face competition primarily from other real estate investment platform companies such as Roofstock, Inc., Fundrise LLC, Arrived Homes, LLC and Compound Projects, LLC, as well as a range of emerging new companies providing real estate investment products and services. Although we believe that we are well positioned to compete effectively in each facet of our business, there is enormous competition in our market sector and there can be no assurance that we will compete effectively or that we will not encounter increased competition in the future that could limit our ability to conduct our business effectively.
Employees
We do not have any employees and are externally managed by the Manager. Currently, no Series has employees and we do not expect that any Series will have any employees. Employees of the Manager will provide all operational, administrative, and managerial services to the Company and each Series.
Legal Proceedings
There are no legal proceedings material to our business or financial condition pending and, to the best of our knowledge, there are no such legal proceedings contemplated or threatened.
We face risks and uncertainties that could affect us and our business as well as the real estate industry generally. These risks are outlined under the heading “Risk Factors” contained in our Offering Circular, which can be found here and is incorporated herein by reference, as the same may be updated from time to time by our future filings under Regulation A. In addition, new risks may emerge at any time and we cannot predict such risks or estimate the extent to which they may affect our financial performance. These risks could result in a decrease in the value of our common shares.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes included in this report. As noted in the independent auditor’s report, the audit of our financial statements was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the combined financial statements as a whole. The series-level combining supplemental information is presented for purposes of additional analysis of the combined financial statements rather than to present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the individual series. The following discussion contains series-level detail that has not been audited. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements.
Overview
Landa App 3 LLC (the “Company,” “we”, “us,” or “our”) is a Delaware series limited liability company. The Company was formed for the purpose of creating one or more series (a “Series”) and offering membership interests (“Shares”) in such Series and may form new Series from time to time. Each Series will be governed by the Limited Liability Company Operating Agreement of the Company (the “Master Agreement”) and the Series Designation for such Series (as defined in the “Master Agreement”).
The purpose of the Series is to acquire, hold and manage multifamily rental properties (each a “Property”) and offer a unique investment opportunity for eligible investors to benefit from the performance of such Properties. The Series’ primary investment objective is to acquire desirable Properties that provide attractive, risk adjusted, returns. We intend to acquire Properties located in “metropolitan statistical areas” that provide economic growth and strong rental demand. Our objective is to manage each of the Properties in an effort to maximize net rental income and the amount of cash flow that is distributed to the holders of the Shares of the applicable Series. To that end, we will target Properties that we believe are in a stable condition as we determine through due diligence during the acquisition process. We will seek to acquire Properties that we believe will provide monthly net income distributions to investors, without holding periods, and without charging asset management fees. Real estate acquisitions will be on an opportunistic basis. However, there is no assurance that our management or acquisition objectives will be realized. We expect that the Company’s, and each Series’, sole source of income will be from rental income and any profits on the appreciation of any Property, if there is a disposition of the Property.
Each Series has been engaged primarily in acquiring its underlying Property from Landa Properties, LLC (“Landa Properties”) financed initially through promissory notes issued to Landa Holdings, Inc. (the “Manager”) and developing the financial, offering and other materials to begin offering Shares in such Series through the Landa Mobile App. See the Offering Circular under the headings “Description of the Properties” and “Use of Proceeds”, which can be found here, and are incorporated herein by reference, for a description of each of the Properties and information about their acquisition and financing.
We are a development-stage company, since we are devoting substantially all our efforts to establishing and maintaining our business and planned principal operations have only recently commenced. As such, the reported financial information herein will likely not be indicative of future operating results or operating conditions. Because of our corporate structure, we are in large part reliant on the Manager and its employees to grow and support our business. There are a number of key factors that will have large potential impacts on our operating results going forward, including, but not limited to, the Manager’s ability to:
● | continue to identify and acquire high quality, attractive Properties at competitive prices to securitize on the Landa Mobile App; |
● | market the Landa Mobile App and the Offerings in individual Series and attract investors to the Landa Mobile App; |
● | continue to develop the Landa Mobile App and provide the information and technology infrastructure to support the issuance of interests; and |
● | continue to build our existing infrastructure to manage the Properties at a decreasing marginal cost per Property. |
Each Series was organized in June 2022 and acquired title to its underlying Property from Landa Properties LLC (“Landa Properties”) in July, 2022.
Each Series commenced operations on June 24, 2022 (Inception).

Market Outlook—Real Estate Finance Markets
While the ongoing impact of COVID-19 has created uncertainty about the overall stability of the economic and financial market, we remain encouraged by the fundamentals of the residential housing market and believe there will be an increased demand for multi-family rentals. As we look ahead the next three years, we believe improving fundamentals, transactions, and residential real estate lending activities will continue to strengthen in core United States metro markets. We also expect high foreign direct investment in United States markets and real estate assets to continue. Further, the assistance provided by governmental support programs and commitments is expected to support U.S. capital markets over the immediate future.
If markets continue to strengthen, the competition for risk-adjusted yield will become increasingly fierce. We believe that innovative funding options and quicker closing timelines from the Manager allow for greater financing availability in a period of rising competition amongst capital providers.
However, risks related to inflation, interest rate hikes and regulatory uncertainty could adversely affect growth and the values of our investments. In the event market fundamentals deteriorate, our real estate portfolio may be impaired as a result of lower occupancy, lower rental rates, and/or declining values. Further, these circumstances may materially impact the cost and availability of credit to borrowers, hampering the ability of the Manager to acquire new investments with attractive risk-reward dynamics.
Over the short term, we remain cautiously optimistic about the opportunity to acquire investments offering attractive risk-adjusted returns in our targeted investment markets. However, we recognize disruptions in financial markets can occur at any time. By targeting modest leverage and short target investment durations, we believe we will remain well positioned, as compared to our competitors, in the event current market dynamics deteriorate.

Recently, the US experienced the fastest increase in prices since 1981, leading to inflation exceeding nine percent (9%) in June 2022 and six and a half percent (6.5%) in December 2022, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. In response, the Federal Reserve raised interest rates by the largest amount since 1994, ending a near four-decade trend of falling, near-zero interest rates. This shift in interest rates drove mortgage rates to their highest levels in nearly 14 years. We believe that the net result of these increases in interest rates further deter home purchase activity generally, but particularly among millennials who are more likely to require debt, which ultimately may lead to an increase in demand for rentals.
Rising inflation may adversely affect a Series by increasing costs of goods, materials, labor, and fuel, which may increase such Series’ operating expenses. In addition, higher interest rates, may make it difficult or expensive for a Series to refinance any outstanding indebtedness, including the Acquisition Notes (as defined in the Offering Circular), with a new mortgage or other debt financing. As of the date of this Offering Circular, neither the Company nor any of the Series has been materially impacted by inflationary pressures or rising interest rates. The Manager will continue to monitor and assess economic conditions, and intends to take reasonable steps to mitigate any impact on a Series and/or its underlying Property, or the Company in general.
Impact of the COVID-19 Coronavirus Pandemic
The international spread of COVID-19 was declared a global pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020. The extent to which this pandemic could continue to affect our financial condition, liquidity, and results of operations is difficult to predict and depends on evolving factors, including, but not limited to, duration, scope, government actions, and other social responses. Beginning in March 2020, many states in the U.S., including Georgia and New York, where our current Properties are located, implemented stay-at-home and shutdown orders for all “non-essential” business and activity in an aggressive effort to mitigate the spread of COVID-19. These orders have continued to evolve resulting in a full or partial lifting of these restrictions at various points over the past two years. Vaccinations for the COVID-19 virus have been widely distributed among the general U.S. population which has resulted in a loosening of previously mandated restrictions. However, the potential emergence of vaccine-resistant variants of COVID-19 could trigger restrictions to be put back in place. Such restrictions may include mandatory business shut-downs, reduced business operations and social distancing requirements.
The pandemic’s duration and severity and the extent of the adverse health impact on the general population and on the local population where our Properties are and will be located are unknown. These, among other items, will likely impact the economy, the unemployment rate and our operations and could materially affect our future combined results of operations, financial condition, liquidity, investments and overall performance. In addition, our business may be affected by our ability to hire and/or maintain adequate staffing and by disruption in the supply chain for building, construction and related goods and materials. For more information, please see the section entitled “Risk Factors – The COVID-19 pandemic may adversely affect our business” of our Offering Circular, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company and each Series commenced its operations prior to the qualification of its initial Offering Statement and the transfer of title of each of the Properties from Landa Properties to the applicable Series. Once a Series commences its planned principal operations, it will incur significant additional expenses. Until such time as a Series has the capacity to generate cash flows from operations, it may seek additional capital, including from the Manager.

Plan of Operations
We plan to launch an as of yet undetermined number of additional Series and related offerings in the next twelve (12) months with properties that we acquire from our affiliates, including Landa Properties. The proceeds from any additional offerings closed during the next twelve (12) months will be used for, among other things, the acquisition of Properties by the Series conducting the offerings. No investor in any Series will, by virtue of its interest in such Series, including its underlying Property, have any interest in, or rights to acquire an interest in, any other Series.
While each Series intends to hold its Property indefinitely, as each Property reaches what the Manager believes to be its optimum value, the Manager may consider disposing of such Property. Please see “Business – Our Manager – Disposition Policies” for more information about our disposition policy with respect to the Properties.
We expect that the rental income earned from each Series’ Property will satisfy each Series’ cash requirements. Each Series may seek additional capital in the form of debt financing from other financing sources to satisfy any additional cash requirements, including a related-party loan between each Series and the Manager.
14
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Neither the Company nor any of the Series had during the periods presented, and does not currently have, any off-balance sheet arrangements.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Manager to make assumptions, estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported, including the notes thereto, and related disclosures of commitments and contingencies, if any. We have identified certain accounting policies that are significant to the preparation of our financial statements. These accounting policies are important for an understanding of our financial condition and results of operations. Critical accounting policies are those that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and require management’s difficult, subjective or complex judgment, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting the estimate may differ significantly from management’s current judgments. We believe the following critical accounting policies involve the most significant estimates and judgments used in the preparation of our financial statements.
Revenue Recognition
The Company adopted ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and its related amendments, effective June 24, 2022.
We determine revenue recognition through the following steps:
● | identification of a contract with a customer; |
● | identification of the performance obligations in the contract; |
● | determination of the transaction price; |
● | allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and |
● | recognition of revenue when or as the performance obligations are satisfied. |
Operating Expenses
If the Operating Expenses exceed the amount of revenues generated from a Series and cannot be covered by any Reserves of such Series, the Manager may (a) pay such Operating Expenses and seek reimbursement and/or (b) loan the amount of the Operating Expenses to the applicable Series and be entitled to reimbursement of such amount from future revenues generated by such Series. In the case that the Manager provides a loan to a Series, the Series will be obligated to pay interest on that loan at a rate to be determined solely by the Manager, but which will be no greater than 7%. Further, if the Operating Expenses exceed the amount of revenues generated from a Series and cannot be covered by any Reserves of such Series, then you may be unable to receive distributions until the Series can generate revenue.
Fees to the Manager
Monthly Management Fee: The Manager receive fees, reimbursements, and compensation in connection with the acquisition and Property management of the Series’ real estate investments. Management fee percentage ranges from 5% for the New York properties to 8% for the Georgia properties. Management fees are earned based off of rental income.
Acquisition Fee: The Acquisition Notes issued by each Series to the Manager in connection with the acquisition of its Property included amounts attributable to an acquisition fee due to the Manager ranging from five percent (5%) to ten percent (10%) of the purchase price of the Property.
Property Diligence Expenses: The Acquisition Notes issued by each Series to the Manager in connection with the acquisition of its Property included amounts attributable to any and all fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with the evaluation, discovery, and investigation of such Property incurred prior to such acquisition, including legal fees associated with the title insurance, appraisal costs and inspection costs, and any other expenses associated with the acquisition of a Property.
15
Brokerage Fee: The broker of record for each Offering is expected to receive a brokerage fee equal to one percent (1%) of the amount raised from investors through each Series’ Offering. We comply with the requirements of FASB ASC 340-10-S99-1 with regards to offering costs. Prior to the completion of a Series’ Offering, offering costs are capitalized. The deferred offering costs are charged to members’ equity upon the completion of an Offering or to expense if the Offering is not completed.
Administrative Costs: In accordance with FASB ASC 720, administrative costs, including accounting fees and legal fees, are expensed as incurred. See “Item 1. Business—Operating Expenses” for additional information.
For more information about the fees payable to the Manager, please see “Description of our Business—Our Manager—Manager Compensation” of our Offering Circular, which can be found here and is incorporated herein by reference.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
FASB guidance specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect market assumptions. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 1 primarily consists of financial instruments whose value is based on quoted market prices such as exchange-traded instruments and listed equities.
Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly (e.g., quoted prices of similar assets or liabilities in active markets, or quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active).
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. Financial instruments are considered Level 3 when their fair values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flows or similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable.
The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets approximate their fair value.
Earnings (Loss) / Income per Membership Interest
Upon completion of an Offering, each Series intends to comply with accounting and disclosure requirements of ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share. For each Series, earnings (loss) / income per interest will be computed by dividing net (loss) / income for a particular Series by the weighted average number of outstanding interests in that particular Series during the year.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). This ASU supersedes the previous revenue recognition requirements in ASC Topic 605—Revenue Recognition and most industry-specific guidance throughout the ASC. The core principle within this ASU is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received for those goods or services. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which deferred the effective date for ASU 2014-09 by one year to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, while providing the option to early adopt for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. Transition methods under ASU 2014-09 must be through either (i) retrospective application to each prior reporting period presented or (ii) retrospective application with a cumulative effect adjustment at the date of initial application. We adopted this new standard upon formation in October 2019. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our financial statements.
16
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). This ASU requires a lessee to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability under most operating leases in its balance sheet. The ASU is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. We are continuing to evaluate the impact of this new standard on our financial reporting and disclosures.
We do not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards could have a material effect on the accompanying combined financial statements. As new accounting pronouncements are issued, we will adopt those that are applicable under the circumstances.

Compensation of Executive Officers
Neither the Company, nor any Series has any executive officers or employees, nor does the Company or any Series currently intend to hire any executive officers or employees who will be compensated directly by us. Each of the executive officers of our Manager manages our day-to-day affairs; oversees the review, selection and recommendation of investment opportunities; services acquired investments; and monitors the performance of these investments to ensure that they are consistent with our investment objectives. Each of these individuals receives compensation for his or her services, including services performed for us on behalf of our Manager, from our manager. Although each Series indirectly bears some of the costs of the compensation paid to these individuals, through the monthly management fee that each Series pays to the Manager, we do not intend to pay any compensation directly to these individuals.
Compensation of our Manager
For information regarding the compensation of our Manager, please see “Description of our Business – Manager Compensation” in our Offering Circular, which can be found here and is incorporated herein by reference.

Transactions
Property Acquisitions
Each Series previously issued an Acquisition Note to the Manager in connection with the acquisition of its property.
The acquisitions of the Properties by the Series were not, or will not be, arm’s length transactions. Each Series treated, or will treat, its acquisition as a transaction between entities under common control per Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805-50 and recorded, or will record, the transaction at its carryover basis.
Nevertheless, Landa Properties acquired each Property for either the same purchase price that each Series paid for such Property or the most recent appraisal value or broker price opinion, as applicable, for such Property.
For more information on the purchase prices of the Properties, please see “Use of Proceeds” of our Offering Circular, which can be found here and is incorporated herein by reference.
Loans
Each Series financed 100% of the costs associated with the acquisition of its Property, including an acquisition fee and expenses associated with sourcing its Property, with an Acquisition Note issued by such Series to the Manager.

Our Affiliates’ Interests
General
The Manager also serves as manager to Landa App LLC and Landa App 2 LLC, each a Delaware series limited liability company also formed for the purpose of offering a unique investment opportunity for eligible investors to benefit from the performance of curated and fully managed rental real estate properties. Each series of Landa App LLC and Landa App 2 LLC is similarly managed by the Manager. The Manager may also manage other affiliate companies in the future.
The executive officers of the Manager will also manage operations for each Series. These persons will have legal obligations with respect to those entities that are similar to their obligations to the Company. In the future, however, these persons and other affiliates of the Manager may organize other real estate-related programs and acquire for their own accounts real estate properties that may be suitable for us.
In addition, each of the Manager’s executive officers will also provide executive and management services to other affiliated entities. As a result, they will owe duties to each of these entities, their holders, members and partners. These duties may from time-to-time conflict with the duties that they owe to the Company and each Series. These persons will also have conflicts of interest with respect to our agreements and arrangements with the Manager and other affiliates of the Manager, which were not negotiated at arm’s length, and their terms may not have been as favorable to us as if they had been negotiated at arm’s length with an unaffiliated third party. Except as provided in the Master Agreement or the applicable Management Agreement, the Manager is not required to make available any particular individual personnel to us or any Series.
The Manager’s executive officers will not be required to devote a specific amount of time to our affairs. As a result, we cannot provide any assurances regarding the amount of time the Manager will dedicate to the management of our business. Accordingly, we may compete with the Manager and any of its current and future programs, funds, vehicles, managed accounts, ventures or other entities owned and/or managed by the Manager or one of its affiliates, including the Manager, which we refer to collectively as the Manager-sponsored vehicles, for the time and attention of these officers in connection with our business. We may not receive the level of support and assistance that we might otherwise receive if we were internally managed.
For more information related to the risks associated with the Manager’s management of our affiliates who operate competing businesses, please see the section entitled “Risk Factors—Risk Related to the Company and the Manager–The Manager may have a conflict of interest as it manages multiple Series, the Company, and an affiliate company of ours that leases residential properties and has a financial interest in certain agreements of the Series, any of which could result in the Manager not acting in the best interest of a particular Series” of our Offering Circular, which can be found here and is incorporated herein by reference.
Payment of Certain Fees and Expenses of the Manager
Each Series pays or reimburses the Manager for fees and expenses incurred by the Manager in connection with its management of the Series and the Properties, including, but not limited to, any ongoing expense of the Series or the Property that is paid by the Manager, expenses in connection with the special servicing of the non-performing Properties and the liquidation of the Properties, and, if applicable, interest payments on related-party loans for operations, issued by the Manager to a Series. These fees and expenses payable by the Series to the Manager and its affiliates were not determined on an arm’s length basis.
Please see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Other Fees to the Manager” for more information about the fees and expenses payable to the Manager. See also “Interest of Management and Others in Certain Transactions Other Information” in our Offering Circular, which can be found here and is incorporated herein by reference.

We have audited the accompanying combined and combining balance sheet of Landa App 3 LLC and Series (the Company) as of December 31, 2022, and the related combined and combining statements of comprehensive income (loss), members’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the combined and combining financial statements). In our opinion, the combined and combining financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Going Concern
The accompanying combined and combining financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the combined and combining financial statements, the Company’s lack of liquidity, nominal cash and limited operations since inception raises substantial doubt about their ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The combined and combining financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These combined and combining financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s combined and combining financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the combined and combining financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the combined and combining financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the combined and combining financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the combined and combining financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

NOTES TO THE COMBINED AND COMBINING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF ACTIVITIES
Landa App 3 LLC (“App 3”), is a Delaware series limited liability company organized in September 2021. App 3 is a wholly owned subsidiary of Landa Holdings, Inc. and currently operates under an operating agreement with Landa Holdings, Inc. (the “Manager”). The Manager serves as the manager for the real estate properties owned by App 3 and each underlying Series (as defined below).
Landa App 3 and its series (herein referred to as “the Company”) was formed to engage in the business of acquiring, managing and renting multi-family properties (each a “Property,” and collectively, the “Properties”). Landa Holdings, Inc. has created, and it is expected that Landa Holdings, Inc, will continue to create, separate series of interests registered under the Company (each a “Series,” and collectively, the “Series”), that each Property will be owned by a separate Series and that the assets and liabilities of each Series will be separate in accordance with Delaware law. Investors acquire membership interest, or shares, in each Series and will be entitled to share in the return of that particular Series but will not be entitled to share in the return of any other Series. The Company intends to treat each Series as a separate entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes and will elect to be treated as a corporation when it files its initial year Federal tax returns. Landa Holdings, Inc is the managing member and has controlling interest in Landa App 3 LLC and each individual Series, collectively referred to as the Company.
On September 29, 2021, the Company filed Certificates of Registered Series Limited Liability Company with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to register each of the Series.
The Series commenced operations on June 24, 2022. Subsequently, between July 8, 2022 and July 12, 2022, the initial set of properties were acquired from a related party by each of the respective Series. The acquisitions were accounted for as a commonly controlled transaction and recorded, accordingly at their carryover basis.
The Form 1A filed and qualified with the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) on June 24, 2022 included an Audit Opinion from a previous Auditor on the balance sheet as December 31, 2021 reflecting zero assets, liabilities and equity. Since there was no activity in 2021, the comparative 2021 financial statements would not be meaningful and therefore are not presented.
2. GOING CONCERN
The accompanying combined and combining financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has a lack of liquidity, nominal cash, and limited operations since inception. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in the next twelve months is dependent upon their ability to continue to generate cash flow from their rental properties and/or obtain financing from the Manager. However, there are no assurances that the Company can continue to generate cash flow from their rental properties or that the Manager will always be in the position to provide funding when needed. The combined and combining financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
F-10
3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The Company has adopted a calendar year as its fiscal year.
The Company is an emerging growth company as the term is used in The Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act, enacted on April 5, 2012 and has elected to comply with certain reduced public company reporting requirements; however, the Company may adopt accounting standards based on the effective dates for public entities.
The combined and combining financial statements of Landa App 3 LLC and each of the Series are being presented on a combined basis, in accordance with U.S. GAAP (ASC 810, Consolidation) due to common control by Landa Holdings, Inc., in its capacity as managing member to the Company and each Series.
The combined and combining financial statements include the six (6) multi-family properties located in the Atlanta metropolitan area in the state of Georgia and in the borough of Brooklyn in New York City, New York. Each Property was acquired by each respective Series, as set forth in the table below:
Series Name | Series Inception Date | Acquisition Date | ||
Landa Series 24 Ditmars Street | March 1, 2022 | July 11, 2022 | ||

The combined and combining financial statements include the accounts of Landa App 3 LLC and each series listed in the table above. All inter-company transactions and balance have been eliminated in the combined and combing financial statements.
Significant Risks and Uncertainties
The Company is subject to customary risks and uncertainties with development of new technology including, but not limited to, new technological innovations, dependence on key personnel, costs of services provided by third parties, the need to obtain additional financing, and limited operating history.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the combined and combining financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the combined and combining financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates inherent in the preparation of these combined and combining financial statements include, but are not limited to, useful life of assets and depreciation expenses.

The Company adopted FASB ASC 606, Revenue form Contracts with Customers, and its related amendments, effective at inception using the modified retrospective transition approach applied to all contracts. There are no cumulative impacts there were made. The Company determines revenue recognition through the following steps:
● | Identification of a contract with a customer; |
● | Identification of the performance obligations in the contract; |
● | Determination of the transaction price; |
● | Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and |
● | Recognition of revenue when or as the performance obligations are satisfied |
Revenue is recognized when performance obligations are satisfied through the transfer of control of promised goods to the Company’s customers in an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for transferring goods or services to customers. Control transfers once a customer has the ability to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the benefits from, the product. This includes the transfer of legal title, physical possession, the risks and rewards of ownership, and customer acceptance.
Revenues are generated at the Series level. Rental revenue is generated from annual or month to month leases of the multi-family homes. The Company recognizes rental revenue on a monthly basis when earned.
Property Acquisitions
Upon acquisition from a third-party, the Company evaluates the acquired multi-family properties for purposes of determining whether a transaction should be accounted for as an asset acquisition or business combination. Upon adoption of ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business, the purchases of properties are treated as asset acquisitions and are recorded at their purchase price, which is allocated between land and building.
Fair value is determined in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, and is primarily based on unobservable data inputs. In making estimates of fair values for purposes of allocating the purchase price of individually acquired properties subject to an existing lease, the Company utilizes its own market knowledge obtained from historical transactions, its internal construction program and published market data. In this regard, the Company also utilizes information obtained from county tax assessment records to assist in the determination of the fair value of the land and building.
Acquired leases are generally short-term in nature (less than one year).
Property acquisitions from Landa Holdings, Inc are considered this transactions between entities under common control. Under ASC 805-50-30-5, when accounting for a transfer of assets or exchange of shares between entities under common control, the entity that receives the net assets or the equity interests, in this case, the Series, shall initially measure the recognized assets and liabilities transferred at their carrying amounts in the accounts of the transferring entity at the date of transfer.
In July 2022, the initial set of properties were acquired from a related party by each of the respective Series. The acquisitions were accounted for as a commonly controlled transaction and recorded, accordingly at their carryover basis.
Property and equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of buildings, improvements, and other assets. Buildings are depreciated over twenty-seven and half years and improvements and other assets are depreciated over their estimated economic useful lives, generally three to twenty-seven and one half (27.5) years.
Once a property is ready for its intended use, expenditures for ordinary maintenance and repairs are expensed to operations as incurred. The Company capitalizes expenditures above a pre-determined threshold that improve or extend the life of a property.
Impairment of Long Lived Assets
The Company continuously evaluates, by property, whether there are any events or changes in circumstances indicating that the carrying amount of the Series’ single-family residential properties may not be recoverable. To the extent an event or change in circumstance is identified, a residential property is considered to be impaired only if it’s carrying value cannot be recovered through estimated future undiscounted cash flows from the use and eventual disposition of the property. To the extent an impairment has occurred, the carrying amount of our investment in a property is adjusted to its estimated fair value. The process whereby we assess our single-family residential properties for impairment requires significant judgment and assessment of factors that are, at times, subject to significant uncertainty. We evaluate multiple information sources and perform a number of internal analyses, each of which are important components of our process with no one information source or analysis being necessarily determinative. No impairments on any property were recorded as of December 31, 2022.

Income Taxes
App 3 intends to be taxed as a “disregarded entity” for federal income tax purposes and will not make any election or take any action that could cause it to be separately treated as an association taxable as a corporation under Subchapter C of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. The elements of income and expense are included on the tax returns of the entity’s members.
Each individual Series has elected to be treated as a corporation for tax purposes. Each separate Series intends to be accounted for as described in ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes,” which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the combined and combining financial statements and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in future taxable or deductible amounts, based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
The Series recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the combined and combining financial statements from such positions are then measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent (50%) likelihood of being realized upon settlement. There were no uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2022.
The Series’ determinations regarding ASC 740 may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based upon factors including, but not limited to, an on-going analysis of tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof.
The Series is subject to incomes taxes for US Federal purposes and in the states of Georgia and New York. The Series’ tax years are open for examinations for all periods since inception.
Organization and Offering Costs
Prior to qualification, the Manager will pay and record all costs incurred in connection with each Series’ organization, including, the Series’ registration fee and franchise tax in the states of Delaware, Georgia, and New York. In addition, the Manager will pay all costs incurred in connection with each Offering. The Series will not incur any costs or expense on their books for these transactions.
In accordance with FASBASC 720, Organizational Costs, including accounting fees, legal fees, and costs of incorporation, are expensed as incurred.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
The Company follows FASB ASC 220 in reporting comprehensive income. Comprehensive income is a more inclusive financial reporting methodology that includes disclosure of certain financial information that historically has not been recognized in the calculation of net income. Since the Company has no items of other comprehensive income (loss), comprehensive income (loss) is equal to net income (loss).
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, “Leases” (Topic 842). This ASU requires a lessee to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability under most operating leases in its balance sheet. The ASU was effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. In April 2020, the FASB voted to defer the effective date of ASC 842 for private companies and certain no-for-profit entities for one year. For private companies and private NFPs, the leasing standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. For public NFPs the leasing standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this standard did not impact the Company’s financial reporting and disclosure as all of the Company’s leases are twelve (12) months or less and have no escalations in rental income.
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards could have a material effect on the accompanying combined and combining financial statements. As new accounting pronouncements are issued, the Company will adopt those that are applicable under the circumstances.

4. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Fair value is an exit price, representing the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants based on the highest and best use of the asset or liability. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The Company uses valuation techniques to measure fair value that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. These inputs are prioritized as follows:
Level 1 - Observable inputs, such as quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets;
Level 2 - Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, or market-corroborated inputs; and
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions about how market participants would price the assets or liabilities.
The valuation techniques that may be used to measure fair value are as follows:
Market approach - Uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities.
Income approach - Uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present amount based on current market expectations about those future amounts, including present value techniques, option-pricing models, and excess earnings method.
Cost approach - Based on the amount that currently would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (replacement cost).
The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, such as cash, receivables, due to/from related party, and security deposit, approximate their fair value because of their short maturities. The Company believes the carrying amount of acquisition notes payable, related party and bridge note payable approximate fair value based on rates and other terms currently available to the Company for similar debt instruments.

8. MEMBER’S EQUITY
The Company is organized as a series limited liability company. As such, the liability of the members of the Company for the financial obligations of the Company is limited to each member’s contribution of capital.
The Manager will be responsible for directing the management of Series’ business and affairs, managing the day-to-day affairs, and implementing the Series’ investment strategy. The Manager has a unilateral ability to amend the operating agreement and the allocation policy in certain circumstances without the consent of the investors. The investors only have limited voting rights with respect to the Series.
The Manager has sole discretion in determining what distributions, if any, are made to interest holders except as otherwise limited by law or the operating agreement. The Series expects the Manager to make distributions monthly. However, the Manager may change the timing of distributions or determine that no distributions shall be made, in its sole discretion.
Membership Interests
For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Series raised on its public offerings net proceeds of $4,581,592. For the year ended December 31, 2022, five series remained open and one closed.

9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Legal Proceedings
There are no legal proceedings material to the Company’s business or financial condition pending and management is not aware of any legal proceedings contemplated or threatened.
F-17
10. INCOME TAXES
Deferred taxes are recognized for temporary differences between the basis of assets and liabilities for financial statement and income tax purposes.
The Company recognizes deferred tax assets to the extent that it believes that these assets are more likely than not to be realized. In making such a determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations. The Company assessed the need for a valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets and determined a full valuation allowance is not required due to the current uncertainty of the future realization of the deferred tax assets.
Deferred tax assets were calculated using the Company’s combined effective tax rates, which it estimated to be ranging from 21.0% to 27.0% based on the state of the respective Series and the federal tax rate. The total deferred tax asset as of December 31, 2022, is $118,302, which consists entirely of federal and state net operating loss carryforwards. Based on the available evidence, management believes that it is more likely than not that its deferred tax assets will not be realized and accordingly, nearly a full valuation allowance is provided for. The effective rate is reduced to approximately .1% for 2022 due to the valuation allowance on its net deferred tax assets. The provision for income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2022 is $668. The Company did not have any permanent tax difference for the year ended December 31, 2022.
The Company’s ability to utilize net operating loss carryforwards will depend on its ability to generate adequate future taxable income. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards available to offset future taxable income in the amount of $438,155 for state and federal purposes.
The Company’s policy is to record interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits as additional income taxes in the combined and combining statement of comprehensive income (loss). At January 1, 2022, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits and no charge during 2022, and accordingly, the Company did not recognize any interest or penalties during 2022 related to unrecognized tax benefits. There is no accrual for uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2022.
The Company is not presently subject to any income tax audit in any taxing jurisdiction, though its 2022 tax year remains open to examination.
11. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
