Acquiring Distressed Nonperforming Notes Secured By Real Estate

$10,000,000.00

Accredited Investors Only Regulation D, Rule 506(c) Exemption Only

Company Overview

Silverwood Capital Fund I LLC (the “Company” or the “Fund”) was formed to take advantage of a narrow niche in the mortgage note industry. The Company will seek to acquire, workout and manage nonperforming real estate notes secured by residential 1-4 unit properties. While the primary emphasis will be focusing on nonperforming junior and Home Equity Line Of Credit (“HELOC”) notes, we will purchase select senior liens and REOs. Using our network of banking and equity fund contacts, and advanced marketing techniques, the Fund will purchase mortgages and real estate at significant discounts to its underlying value. By focusing on distressed mortgages and properties, we know the potential for above average returns exist. Our initial focus will include, but not be limited to nonjudicial foreclosure States such as Minnesota, Texas, and Georgia.

Silverwood Capital Nonperforming Note Fund Benefits

  • 8% Preferred Return To Class A Investors
  • 50/50 Split Of Net Profits With Fund Managers
  • Aggregate Internal Rate Of Return (IRR) is Approximately 17%
  • Risk Is Reduced by Spreading Funds Over Pools Of Notes
  • Lower Acquisition Costs Due To Volume Purchases
  • Experienced Fund Managers With 22 Years Of Combined Real Estate Experience

Why Nonperforming Notes?

Investing in nonperforming notes is a great way to invest in real estate without getting dirty, or smashing your finger with a hammer. Nonperforming notes are home loans the homeowner stopped paying on for one reason or another. When they stop paying their loan the bank usually sells them at a discount to the amount owed. Depending on many factors such as location, age, condition, and type of asset, you can pay as little as $0.05, all the way to Par, or the amount owed. When you buy nonperforming notes for a discount, the potential to make more than your investment is possible, though there is no guarantee.

Strategy And Implementation

The Fund intends to operate as a hybrid real estate investment equity fund with a certain portion of the allocated capital being utilized for short-term opportunities, and the balance for acquisitions that will mature over a three to five-year period.

We have found there are eleven exit strategies we can employ to profit from nonperforming notes. If the home is occupied, the homeowner can be contacted to either start paying again or settle for a lump sum. If repaying, the loan can also be modified to more favorable terms if needed. This paying loan will supply years of payments, and at any time, it can be sold for a higher price than purchased.

If the home is rented, we can keep the renter and receive the rental payments, and or sell it to the renter with a lease-option or land contract. If unoccupied, you can go right to foreclosure and it will usually be uncontested if they are deceased, or they vacated it. At that point, the home can be sold as is to a rehabber or do-it-yourselfer, fixed up and sold for a higher price, or rented out.

Short Term Investments (under 18 months)

The Fund Manager anticipates that up to fifty percent (50%) of capital from the Offering will be allocated towards opportunities that involve asset acquisition, re-position and/or rehabilitation, and disposition within 18 months. Many of these opportunities will be sourced from distressed sellers or "special circumstance" type acquisitions (package Bank REO, buyer or seller joint venture, etc.) wherein a significant amount of equity and value is pres- ent from the time of acquisition, and additional equity and profit is realized through the re-position, rebranding, and the rehabilitation process.

Properties in this category are anticipated to require more re-positioning and rehabilitation work and would be reflected in the distressed level acquisition costs. The construction and rehabilitation experience of the Fund Manager is a critical part of this process as that expertise will allow the Fund to fully assess expected costs, time- frames, and other important metrics to maximize net profit and minimize risks related to unexpected rehabilita- tion costs and re-position expenses.

Long Term Investments (2 to 4 years)

The Fund Manager intends to allocate up to fifty percent (50%) of invested capital towards acquisitions that will require a longer duration of time to mature prior to disposition & expects that these assets will still be sourced at attractive acquisition rates, however the properties may not require as much rehabilitation or may demand a higher acquisition premium and thus less initial equity immediately post-acquisition. The Fund Manager intends to deploy elements of rehabilitation and re-positioning to maximize value and allow assets in this category will typically be held in the Fund’s portfolio for three to five years prior to disposition including performing notes that give us high yields, or rental properties.

The return on investment for renegotiated debt with performance as agreed are expected to yield an annualized minimum of 15%; with typically annualized yields potentially exceeding 20%. Since the Fund Manager is vertically integrated, it has the ability to manage all aspects of investing, due diligence, servicing, workout, foreclosure, rehab, and disposition. By focusing on acquisition prices less than 50% of Fair Market Value in growing and mature urban areas, homes worth $80-100,000 or more, and avoiding rural and “C” and “D” class neighbor- hoods, we avoid many of the problems and additional expenses associated with them.

Silverwood Capital Fund I Management

The Fund is managed by two highly experienced real estate and finance professionals in the distressed secured debt market that specializes in asset acquisition and management. With a proven track record to implement a balance investment strategy in the distressed real estate debt industry, and twenty-two years of combined real estate experience of the buying, workout, and disposition of nonperforming assets including over 80 notes, and rehabbing over 500 houses, Silverwood Capital Management LLC (the Fund Manager) has the ability to handle the challenges and complexities of the Fund and intends to deploy a similar methodology to produce superior anticipated returns for Investors.

The Market

In the 2nd Quarter of 2018, US banks held approximately $32.7 Billion dollars in non-accruing residential 1-4 unit loans according to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Of that amount, $9.9 Billion is in our primary target type of asset, non-accruing junior and HELOC liens. The majority of the nonaccruing or nonperforming loans are $19.9 Billion in nonaccruing senior liens, and $2.9 Billion in REO.

Nationally as of December 2017, the percentage of loans over 90 days late was approximately 1%. By compari- son, the states of Minnesota, Texas and Georgia were .6%, 1% and 1.1% respectively. Based on this, SMG has concluded that the opportunity for distressed debt acquisition in non-judicial foreclosure states is on par with national averages.

Should be a great call @Dave Van Horn! Are you archiving old ones online?

I'd start with getting rid of that manager, and switching to owner finance and selling the rentals to the tenants and then you can just collect checks, until they stop paying...

The tenant who recently vacated this unit claims that he left the unit in "broom clean" condition. He's been calling the office harrassing my staff about getting his security deposit back. Lol, sorry my man it doesn't matter how many negative reviews you leave online. We aren't going to be giving that security deposit back.

What would you do if a tenant from hell left this fridge in one of your units?

 Rule #1 in rehabs, or at least our rule #1 is never, ever, ever, ever, open a leftover fridge or freezer. Band it up, take it out and dispose of it properly. And was there any other leftover crap or damage? If that was all, deduct cost to dispose and give him the balance, if any...

I've got a noobie question that I'm hoping someone can help me with. 

 Actually the correct term is newbie... :-) We purchased a mobile home in Arizona and it had a deed of trust, so I would record it to let the world know you have an encumberance on it. I would assume mortgage states are the same. It was on a piece of property, and the wheels were removed, so that is different than one in a park that you are renting. In that case, its more like a vehicle with title.. Good luck!

And to anyone who says, the buyer's submitting the offer, you the agent are only presenting I say this: fine, you spend 90 hours studying bland material, pass a test, pay several hundred to get your license, and then another $500 for this and that, plus another $50 - $100 per month for MLS fees, plus whatever your brokerage charges, and become an agent yourself. Then you can soil your own name and reputation with low-ball garbage offers that get no where.

Submitting low-ball offers carries much more risk than reward.  A real investor will recognize this.  

 Who are you to assume its pointless & be a judge? Its your job to submit them or tell him to find another agent. You are violating your code of ethics, and sometimes those offers do get taken...

You need to report them to the State agency that regulates them. They HAVE to present your offer and if they don't you can complain about it. If they have a pattern of that, they can lose their license. There are always bad apples in every basket, so start looking for an investor friendly one in your neck of the woods. Obviously this one is not...
