Overview




The Dallas Cityfund will acquire and manage a portfolio of single-family residential real estate assets in Dallas only. Our acquisition strategy will focus on (1) investing in the equity of owner-occupied single-family homes ("Homeshares") and (2) purchasing single-family rentals that we believe offer compelling values with the potential for significant appreciation while providing investors unprecedented access to the highest-demand, fastest-moving real estate markets, like Dallas, Austin, and Miami.

Cityfunds


A new real estate investment product, from Republic Real Estate and Nada.


What is a Cityfund?

A Cityfund is similar to an index fund in that it provides targeted exposure to residential real estate in a single city. Providing access to high-demand, fast-moving markets typically inaccessible to most investors. Cityfunds are designed to mimic the performance of residential real estate in one city only.

What makes Cityfunds different?

Why did we create Cityfunds?

We designed the Cityfund based on the transformation we have seen in the equities market from actively managed mutual funds to index-based exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Many ETFs enable investors to make very targeted investment decisions within a specific sector, geography, or risk profile.

We wanted to provide investors with this type of targeted exposure by creating a real estate investment product that provides targeted exposure to a specific city through a portfolio of residential real estate assets.

Dallas


The Dallas housing market is recovering favorably after the COVID-19 pandemic. In the Dallas-Fort Worth area, single-family home starts surged more than 30% in 2020 with the highest construction volumes in over a decade. According to the Q4 2020 Zillow Home Price Expectations Survey, Dallas is expected to be the 6th hottest housing market in the nation this year. A Realtor.com report for the nation's best performing metro areas also forecasts that DFW could see combined sales and price growth of 15.7 percent in 2021.

Favorable Demographics

An above-average population of millennials, strong in-bound population growth, and a thriving economy are just some of the many reasons why the Dallas real estate market has seen favorable growth.

Key Population & Demographic Statistics:

According to Cushman & Wakefield data, Dallas-Fort Worth could see the biggest population surge in the country this decade, with the population projected to grow by nearly 18% by 2029. The GDP of the Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington, TX MSA is nearly $523.9 billion, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, and has grown by nearly 62% over the last 10 years.

Strategy


Acquisition

Nada’s Homeshares are investments into owner-occupied homes, whereby the Cityfund provides an upfront payment to a homeowner in exchange for a lien-secured share of the home’s future appreciated value. Homeshare investments are made directly by Nada and sourced through their network of licensed real estate agents and direct-to-consumer marketing channels.

Nada has established consumer and property qualification standards; in addition, each Homeshare investment is placed at a risk-adjusted discount to market value—offsetting the risk of declines in home values and protecting the initial investment.

Management

Homeshare investments ensure the owner retains ownership rights and responsibilities. Each Homeshare investment is recorded on the title of each property and processed by Nada’s in-house Title and Escrow service.

Cityfund generates unrealized returns when the home appreciates in value. The Cityfund realizes cash returns when the homeowner takes certain actions, such as selling the entire home, refinancing their mortgage, or reaching the end of the agreed-upon term.


Acquisition

Nada leverages its boots-on-the-ground real estate team and market experience to source opportunistic property acquisitions. Acquisitions are targeted in single cities and their emerging fringe markets. Investment considerations include attributes such as high rental yield forecasts, attractive school districts, and light renovation costs. SFR properties are acquired at a target gross yield of 8 - 12%.

Dallas Cityfund has partnered with Inspectify and Hippo to provide an additional layer of protection on each SFR property acquisition.

Management

Tenant placement is handled by Nada’s real estate sales team. Property management services are handled by third-party service providers that are managed by Nada.

Homeshares


Nada's homeowner equity investment product, "Homeshares", solves a two-sided problem within the residential real estate market. 

  1. Homeshares unlock access to the $22T homeowner equity market for real estate investors seeking access to high-demand and supply-constrained markets.
  2. Homeshares enable liquidity and diversification for homeowners, without incurring new debt or moving out of their home.


What is a Homeshare?

A Homeshare is an investment into owner-occupied single-family homes whereby the Cityfund provides an upfront payment in exchange for a share of the home’s future appreciated value, representing fractional ownership.

Why invest in Homeshares?

Terms


Offering

We are currently offering up to 50,000 Interests at $10.00 per Interest through this offering. The minimum investment is $500 and the maximum investment is $5,000. 

The maximum investment available in this offering is $5,000. If you are an accredited investor who would like to invest at least $10,000, please click here.

Management Fees

Cityfund Manager, LLC will receive the following fees for services related to the investment and management of the Portfolio's assets:

Asset Management Fee:  1.5% per annum of the aggregate capital contributions to the Cityfund.

Acquisition Fee: 1.0% of the gross purchase price of each single-family property we acquire.

Leverage

We may employ modest leverage on our single-family acquisitions to enhance total returns to our investors through a combination of senior financing on our real estate acquisitions, secured facilities, and capital markets financing transactions. Our target portfolio-wide leverage after we have acquired an initial portfolio of diversified investments is between 30-50% of the greater of cost (before deducting depreciation or other non-cash reserves) or fair market value of our assets.

Liquidity Event

We intend to enable the trading of Dallas Cityfund Interests in a secondary marketplace in order to provide investors with liquidity for their investments. Although our goal is to provide this liquidity option, at this time, we have not identified a secondary marketplace platform and such future liquidity can not be guaranteed.

Returns


Cityfunds are designed to provide returns that are related to the home-price appreciation of a specific market. While we are focused on sourcing acquisitions that have the potential for capital appreciation, the market will ultimately determine returns. We cannot assure you that we will attain this objective or that the value of our properties and your investment will not decrease.

Market Data

Based on recent historical and assumed continuing home-price appreciation, we expect both our single-family rental acquisitions as well as our Homeshare investments to generate annual internal rates of return ("IRR") of between 12% and 15% over a 7-year period. These estimated returns may not be met. 

We have provided examples below for hypothetical investments in a single-family rental property and a Homeshare property investment to exhibit how these returns would be generated based on our underlying assumptions.

The hypothetical return assumptions we make below include the income we receive from renting these properties as well as home price appreciation.

The hypothetical return assumptions we make below include home price appreciation as well as the discount to market value that we make our investment ("risk-adjusted value").

Disclaimer


* Past performance is not indicative of future results. No assurance can be provided that the market or the value of our investments will appreciate or will not depreciate in value.
