Morris, Manning & Martin, LLCThe Bottom Line
Your Money vs. Reality
Note: For the money market returns, Vanguard Federal Money Market Fund (VMFXX) has been considered. For Gold prices, London Bullion Market Association data has been used.
Key Takeaways:
- RealtyMogul barely beat cash investments despite taking significant real estate risk
- Public REIT ETFs delivered 3x better returns with daily liquidity
- Even “safe” Treasuries generated 44% more wealth with government backing
Bottom line: You took REIT-level risk, but your payoff looked more like a savings account than a true wealth builder.

Portfolio Focus

Pros/Bulls Say

- Consistent Monthly Income Stream: 102+ consecutive monthly distributions at 6.0% annualized yield with no performance fees eating into returns
- Accessible Entry Point: $5,000 minimum investment democratizes access to commercial real estate typically reserved for institutions
- Defensive Multifamily Focus: Heavy apartment exposure provides inflation protection through short-term lease renewals in growing markets
Cons/Bears Say

- Distribution Sustainability Concerns: Only 60% of 2024 distributions came from operating cash flow—the rest funded through borrowing, essentially returning your own money
- Minimal Manager Alignment: Less than 1% manager ownership with no performance incentives creates weak alignment with investor interests
- Limited Liquidity and Transparency: Quarterly redemptions with caps, internal NAV calculations, and just 16 properties create concentration risk with poor exit flexibility
Verdict
0.5/5 RealtyMogul Income REIT suffers from declining NAV, distribution sustainability concerns, minimal manager alignment, and operational uncertainty following the offering withdrawal. The combination of poor performance and limited transparency creates an unattractive risk-return profile for wealth-building investors.
Fees & Expenses
Fee Type
Why It Matters
How Calculated
Typical Amount
The fund charges a 1.0% annual management fee with additional organizational costs. Recent filings show the fund continues quarterly NAV calculations internally without third-party verification.
Fee Impact Example:
$10,000 invested for 10 years at a 2.5% net return:
- You’d pay about $100/year in management fees—totaling $1,000+ over a decade.
- That’s roughly 8% of your potential gains lost to ongoing expenses.
Portfolio Snapshot
Overview
ALIGNMENT: Below Average
- Managers have minimal skin in the game with less than 1% ownership and no performance fees, creating little incentive to outperform targets or protect investor capital. This misalignment becomes more concerning when you consider that most of your returns come from their decisions, not market forces. Without real financial stakes or bonus structures tied to beating benchmarks, there’s limited motivation to go above and beyond for shareholders. Your interests and theirs simply aren’t aligned.
Performance: Below Average
- NAV declined 17.4% from approximately $10.00 to $8.26 while paying distributions primarily from sources other than operational cash flow. The fund’s 2.5% estimated return significantly trails major asset classes, and with only 60% of 2024 distributions coming from actual operations, you’re essentially getting some of your own money back. This return of capital structure means the fund isn’t generating enough income to sustain its distribution rate, raising serious questions about long-term sustainability.
Market Risk: Above Average
- Heavy concentration in multifamily real estate creates sector-specific vulnerability with limited diversification across property types or geographic markets. The fund’s exposure to just 16 properties means a single vacancy or local economic downturn can significantly impact your investment. With 72% of assets in multifamily properties, you’re betting heavily on one segment of real estate. This concentration amplifies both potential gains and losses, making the fund more volatile than diversified alternatives.
Business Risk: Above Average
- The voluntary withdrawal of the fund’s offering statement in July 2025 suggests operational challenges and uncertainty about future capital raising. Internal NAV calculations lack third-party verification, creating transparency concerns about actual asset values. Management’s decision to stop actively seeking new investors raises questions about the fund’s strategic direction and growth prospects. Combined with minimal manager investment and concentrated holdings, these factors create elevated business risk that could impact future performance and liquidity.
Liquidity Risk: Average
- Quarterly redemptions are capped at 5% annually, and recent NAV declines may trigger additional redemption restrictions during market stress periods. Your money could be locked up for extended periods, especially if other investors also want to exit. The fund’s quarterly redemption schedule means you can only access your money four times per year, and even then, you’re not guaranteed full liquidity. This structure makes the investment unsuitable for anyone who might need quick access to their capital.
Debt Risk: Above Average
-
RealtyMogul Income REIT is carrying 67% leverage, which is above its typical target range and creates elevated financial risk. While most loans are fixed-rate, providing some protection from interest rate swings, the high debt load means less financial flexibility during market downturns. The fund’s small size and concentrated portfolio of just 16 properties amplifies this risk—if a few properties underperform, debt service payments could strain cash flow and potentially impact distributions to investors.
-
Transparency: Below Average
- No independent third-party NAV verification means you’re relying on the fund’s internal calculations of what your investment is worth. Limited property-level disclosure makes it difficult to assess individual asset performance or quality. The recent offering withdrawal raises questions about operational transparency and management’s willingness to share information with potential investors. Without regular independent valuations or detailed asset-level reporting, you’re investing somewhat blindly in a fund that controls its own scorecard.
