C. Investment Management Services
The Advisor identifies private real estate operators in the United States, performs due diligence on the operator
and their properties, raises capital for fund vehicles to invest in the operators’ vetted properties, and supports
investors in the funds after the investments are made. The Adviser provides value to investors in three primary
ways:
1. Diversification.
Wellings Capital offers our investors diversification across real estate asset classes,
operators/sponsors, geographies, properties, and strategies. As an example, our Wellings Income Fund
III provides investors diversification across seven operators and 284 properties in 36 states. This
includes self-storage assets, mobile home parks, one apartment complex, and light industrial assets. The
number of properties, types of properties, and number of states are subject to change.
2. Due Diligence. Our operator due diligence process includes over 25 critical items. These due diligence
steps include site visits to the operator’s offices, site visits to the properties, comprehensive background
checks, reference checks with previous investors and service providers, and much more. We share our
due diligence process and results with prospective investors.
3. Access. We allow access to our investors through our funds with providers that would have higher entry
points if investing directly and not generally known or available to the general investing population.
The Adviser consults with prospective investors in the funds about the suitability of these and other potential
investment opportunities. Investors are provided with investment materials for review as well as phone and video
consultations, webinars, and more as needed. Prospective investors can review this information through a portal
designated for that fund and accessed via the Adviser’s website.
After making an initial investment utilizing investor capital, the Adviser tracks the performance of each operator
and investment on a regular basis. Revenue generated through these investments provides the Adviser with the
ability to provide cash flow to investors on a periodic basis. Proceeds above regular ongoing levels, generated
by operators through capital events like the refinance or sale of operator real estate assets, are evaluated for
potential reinvestment or distribution to investors including a potential distribution to Adviser once hurdles are
exceeded.
