  • Low Interest Rate

    Historically low interest rates may allow real estate to generate higher cash flows.

  • Income Tax Treatment

  • Hedge Against Inflation

Trion Overview & Strategy

Trion Properties is a forward thinking, vertically-integrated real estate investment firm. The firm redevelops underutilized apartment buildings in improving neighborhoods into modern thriving communities. Trion’s business model over the last ten years has been to acquire opportunistic multifamily properties that require a specific strategy to improve the property and increase income and valuation. Trion’s value-add renovations have included light cosmetic renovation to the common areas and interiors of the units, vacant buildings where all major systems need to be replaced due to several years of deferred maintenance, or acquiring nonperforming debt secured by multifamily real estate and/or lender real estate owned (“REO”) where diligence was limited or nonexistent.

  • Trion intends to renovate and stabilize each multifamily real estate asset within roughly 24 months following acquisition. Trion generally will retain each asset for approximately three to five years following stabilization and/or cash out refinancing of the asset.
  • Transform various multifamily assets into clean, modern apartments.
  • Market to adults with the discretionary income to afford contemporary lodging.
  • Upgrade and develop aesthetic and amenities to appeal to higher-paying residents.
  • Create a distinct Trion Properties look and feel among entire apartment portfolio.

Target Markets of Trion

Management believes this is the “best real estate in the US” based on overall desirability, strong housing demand, weather, culture, entertainment, business centers, infrastructure, transportation, shopping and educational opportunities. There are limited-to-no housing starts under the $800K price point for one simple reason: average land costs + construction costs preclude profit. Trion acquires SFR assets at values under replacement cost. Huge mismatch of supply and demand (LA Times July 26, 2017). In other words, the supply of sub-$800,000 low-to-mid-tier SFR is limited and constrained while demand is the largest in the US.

Trion Fund Management Team

Trion has assembled a team of motivated real estate professionals with a combined 50+ years. John Kralik has purchased, renovated and sold over 5,000 SFRs since 2009. Trion is a seasoned vertically integrated real estate operator with a full in-house team providing deal sourcing, construction management and brokerage.

Investment Summary

Acquired by Trion Properties in August 2013, this 41 unit, 1920s ‘bricker’ located in the Westlake/Macarthur Park area was completely vacant and heavily distressed at acquisition. The building was purchased for $1.6MM, with an additional $1.75MM allocated to extensive rehab and renovations. These renovations consisted of completely modern interiors, as well as a tasteful 1920s themed exterior that complements the vintage of the property, appealing to the demographic of the area. As a result, the property went through a year 3 cash-out refinance with a valuation of approximately $9M and over 3x equity multiple, as the property continues to achieve the highest rent/SF in the Westlake/Macarthur Park neighborhood for a property of its vintage.

SIERRA VILLAGE

North Highlands, California

fund

Investment Summary

Sierra Village, featuring 185 units in an attractive 1980’s garden style property, with a superior amenity package to the competitive set presented an exceptional value-add opportunity upon acquisition. The asset was owned by a Texas-based operator with little presence in Sacramento who had recently purchased the asset as part of a pool of properties via a receivership sale. As such, the property had low rental rates, high expenses, and below-market occupancies. Trion saw an opportunity to create value through effective management and strategic renovations. Trion’s experienced vertically integrated management team, implemented interior renovations, professional management practices and cost control efficiencies to maximize the asset’s operation. Within less than 3 years of acquisition, Trion had increased net operating income by approximately 70% operating at approximately 98% occupancy. Upon closing of the sale in September 2016, the project level IRR will be approximately 58.46%, with an equity multiple of 2.71x on a 3-year hold of the asset.

Important Disclosure Statement for Trion:

An investment in the units of Trion is speculative and risky. No assurance can be given that investors will realize their investment objectives or will realize a substantial return (if any) on their investment. Investors should be able to bear the complete loss of their investment in Trion. For this reason, each prospective subscriber for Trion should carefully read Trion’s Private Placement Memorandum (“Memorandum”) and all Exhibits to the Memorandum. Each prospective subscriber should consult with his attorneys, accountants, and business advisors prior to making an investment in Trion. Only qualified, eligible investors may invest in Trion.

Trion will invest in multifamily, residential real estate, which includes apartment and student housing. As such, investment in the Units does not constitute a diversified investment. Trion intends to diversify its investments by investing in multiple multifamily residential properties throughout the United States. Trion intends to hold approximately 20 properties with no single investment representing more than 20% of Trion's total invested capital. Anticipated portfolio characteristics may differ from actual portfolio holdings. An inability to raise substantial funds in this Offering could also result in substantial limitations on Trion’s ability to achieve a diversified portfolio of assets.

Because this is a blind pool offering, investors will not have the opportunity to evaluate investments before Trion makes them, which makes an investment in Trion more speculative. The investors must rely on the management of Trion and to make all investment decisions. There can be no assurances or guarantees that Trion’s investment objectives will be realized or Trion’s investment strategy will prove successful.

An investment in Trion may be affected by a number of factors beyond the control of the management of Trion that will affect the value of Trion’s investments. These include risks typically associated with investments in residential real estate that produce income such as increased vacancy rates, re-letting risk, or decreased rental rates, adverse changes in general economic conditions or local conditions that may reduce the demand for multifamily residential properties, changes in the demand for or supply of competing properties in an area, unanticipated holding costs, the availability and cost of necessary utilities and services, changes in real estate tax rates and other operating expenses, changes in governmental rules and fiscal policies, changes in zoning and other land use regulations, environmental risks such as mold contamination or environmental claims that could be made against Trion, and natural disasters, most of which are not covered by insurance.

Trion will operate in a highly competitive market for investment opportunities. Trion's profitability depends, in large part, on the ability to acquire profitable investments. In doing so, Trion will compete with numerous other entities and individuals engaged in real estate investment activities, many of which have greater financial, technical, marketing, and other resources than Trion. Poor performance of the investment management in selecting investments for Trion, or poor performance of any investment, could adversely affect the profitability of Trion and the overall return to the investors.

Trion may make investments through a joint venture or co-investment arrangement. Such arrangements may be on terms that limit Trion’s ability to control the investments and to receive returns on those investments.

Adverse economic conditions may adversely affect the ability of Trion to obtain financing. Unfavorable financing terms or the inability to obtain financing would adversely affect the operating results of Trion. The high level of leverage on the properties increases the debt service risks and the likelihood of foreclosure. Trion's borrowing of capital increases the risks of adverse effects on Trion's financial condition.

The investment manager of Trion has a limited operating history and track record upon which prospective investors may base an evaluation of its likely performance. Prospective investors should not rely on the past success of the investment manager's affiliates. The success of Trion is significantly dependent upon the expertise of certain investment or support personnel and any future unavailability of their services could have an adverse impact on the Trion’s performance. The General Partner and a majority of Limited Partners may agree to amend the Trion Agreement, which could be adverse to some limited partners. It is impossible to predict accurately the results from an investment in the Trion because of general risks associated with the complete reliance on the General Partner and its affiliates to identify and negotiate the investments to be acquired by Trion.

The proposed method of operation of Trion creates certain inherent conflicts of interest among the Trion, Trion, the General Partner and their affiliates. The liability of the investment manager is limited. Trion and its affiliates may compete with Trion's investments and may provide services to the Trion or Property Owners. Trion may make direct investments in affiliates of the investment manager. The investment manager may have conflicting fiduciary obligations with respect to the allocation of investment opportunities. The investment manager and its affiliates will receive compensation and reimbursements. Certain compensation to the investment manager and its affiliates has not been established by arms-length agreement. Trion's and the investment manager's officers and agents will engage in other management activities. A single legal counsel will represent Trion, the investment manager, Trion and their affiliates.

The investment manager may have conflicting fiduciary obligations when making investments through a joint venture or co-investment with an affiliate of the investment manager. These transactions may not be the result of arm's-length negotiations and may involve conflicts between the Trion's interests and the interests of the investment manager and its affiliates. The investment manager will use reasonable efforts to ensure that the terms and conditions of such transactions will be no more favorable to the affiliate than could be obtained by arms-length negotiations with an independent third party.

An investment in Trion is illiquid. No public or other market will develop for the Units. These securities are subject to restrictions on transferability and resale and may not be transferred or resold except as permitted under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and the applicable State securities laws, pursuant to registration or exemption there from. Prospective investors should be aware that they will be required to bear the financial risks of any investment in these securities for an indefinite period of time.

Units of Trion are offered without registration under any securities laws due to a reliance on an available exemption. Although, Trion’s offering documents are not reviewed or approved by federal or state regulators, Trion must comply with a variety of legal and compliance requirements. Failure to comply with the requirements for a private offering exemption would adversely affect Trion. Maintenance of an Investment Company Act exemption may impose limits on Trion's operations, and if Trion becomes subject to the Act, Trion would likely be unable to continue its business.

To the extent Fund cash flow permits, the investment manager intends to make monthly distributions to the Limited Partners, however, the investment manager may reinvest all or a portion of proceeds received from CityVest on or before December 31 2020, rather than using such proceeds to make distributions to the Limited Partners. Prospective investors should be aware that the sole source of cash from which Trion will make cash distributions on the Units will be from revenues received from investments made by Trion. No assurance can be made that Trion will receive sufficient return on its investments to enable it to make any distributions to the Limited Partners.

Certain statements included in this presentation constitute "forward-looking statements" and are subject to a number of significant risks and uncertainties. Any such forward-looking statements contained herein should not be relied upon as predictions of future events. Certain such forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "believes," "expects," "may," "will," "could" "would likely," "should," "seeks," "approximately," "intends," "plans," "estimates," "anticipates," "continue" or the negative thereof or other variations thereof or comparable terminology, or by discussions of strategy, plans or intentions.

In that regard, actual results may differ materially from those in forward-looking statements. As a result of the foregoing, no assurances can be or are given as to future results of operations or financial condition of Trion.

Trion’s investment approach has complex tax implications for investors. These ramifications should be reviewed carefully and applied to each investor’s individual circumstances. Trion may involve structures or strategies that may cause delays in important tax information being sent to investors. You should obtain investment and tax advice from your advisers before deciding to invest.

This material includes certain statements, estimates and projections of Trion with respect to the anticipated future performance of Trion. Such statements, estimates and projections reflect various assumptions of the investment manager that may or may not prove to be correct, and no assurance can be made that Trion can or will attain such results. Nothing contained herein is or should be relied on as a promise or representations as to the future performance of Trion.
