An accredited investor, in the context of a natural person, includes anyone who:

• earned income that exceeded $200,000 (or $300,000 together with a spouse) in each of the prior two years, and reasonably expects the same for the current year, OR
• has a net worth over $1 million, either alone or together with a spouse (excluding the value of the person’s primary residence).

In addition, entities such as banks, partnerships, corporations, nonprofits and trusts may be accredited investors. Of the entities that would be considered accredited investors and depending on your circumstances, the following may be relevant to you:

• any trust, with total assets in excess of $5 million, not formed to specifically purchase the subject securities, whose purchase is directed by a sophisticated person, or
• any entity in which all the equity owners are accredited investors.

While each MRA Capital Offering has a unique investment profile and expected time horizon, its important to highlight the fact that private real estate investments are illiquid investments and cannot be easily converted to cash. Generally, our investments have a 5-7 year holding periods and many will begin paying distributions after the first quarter.

Throughout your holding period as an MRA Capital Investor, you will receive a quarterly management reports for each investment you own. These reports will be uploaded to your secure online investor portal where you can also review performance on your holdings in real time and view subscription agreements, closing documents, offering memorandums as well as project progress photos.

All of our offerings are set up as partnerships where investors are limited partners who receive a K-1 each year of their investment holding period. This structure allows for each investor to realize their pro rata share of income, expenses, gains, losses depreciation, etc. of the overall investment. Many of our investors are surprised to learn that they are entitled to tax deductions that exceed the income they earned for the year. Taxation of income, gains, etc. will depend heavily on the type of account you invest with and each investors tax situation is different.
