Deal diligence14 findings · worst high

Automated checks across the fund's extracted PPM. Every finding is shown with the evidence it's based on — proven numbers or a verbatim quote and page.

Waterfall structure

Structural checks run against Cornerstone Institutional Growth REIT, Inc.'s extracted waterfall. Each is a deterministic test — the numbers shown are proven from the PPM, not estimated.

Disposition Fee (3%) is taken above the waterfall

Medium

A performance- or transaction-linked fee paid above the waterfall reaches the GP before the LP's distribution priorities run, eroding the pool the pref + return-of-capital draw from. Routine asset-management fees above the line are normal; a disposition/promote-flavored fee there is a leak worth pricing.

If the Advisor or a director or Sponsor or any Affiliate thereof provides a substantial amount of the services in the effort to sell the property of the Corporation, that Person may receive an amount up to 3% of the sales price of such property or properties; provided, however, that the amount paid when added to all other real estate commissions paid to unaffiliated parties in connection with such sale shall not exceed the lesser of the Competitive Real Estate Commission or an amount equal to 6% of the sales price of such property or properties.

Document quality

Drafting defects found in the PPM prose — numeric inconsistencies, broken cross-references, unfilled placeholders, and defined-term problems. Each is shown with the offending quote and its page.

Unfilled placeholder text — [to come]

High

Section 7.1 lists the directors who shall serve until the next annual meeting, but only one name is filled in; the remaining four director slots are unfilled '[to come]' placeholder tokens, meaning the board roster shipped incomplete.

The number of directors of the Corporation shall be five ... The names of the directors who shall serve on the board until the next annual meeting of the stockholders and until their successors are duly elected and qualified are: Terry G. Roussel [to come] [to come] [to come] [to come]
PPM p.1797% confidence

Defined-term defect — Conflicts Committee

Medium

Section 10.1(b) repeatedly grants powers to 'the Conflicts Committee', a term never defined anywhere in the charter; the body established and used throughout (including in Section 10.1(a) immediately above) is the 'Independent Directors Committee', creating ambiguity about which committee may create subcommittees and delegate powers.

The Conflicts Committee may create a subcommittee of the Conflicts Committee and delegate to the subcommittee any of the powers of the Conflicts Committee. The members of any such subcommittee shall serve at the pleasure of the Conflicts Committee.
PPM p.2690% confidence

Unfilled placeholder text — Registration Statement (No. 333- )

Medium

Section 5.8(c) leaves the Form S-11 registration statement number blank ('No. 333- '), an unfilled template field; the very same reference is fully populated as 'No. 333-126087' in the certificate legend on page 14, confirming the page-6 blank was never completed.

set forth in the Corporation's Registration Statement (No. 333- ) on Form S-11 as such registration statement has been amended or supplemented
PPM p.685% confidence

Spelling / typo — no limit the number

Info

Broken sentence in Section 5.11: 'there is no limit the number of successive one-year postponements' is missing a word (should read 'no limit to/on the number').

although there is no limit the number of successive one-year postponements if the Independent Director Committee determines that each postponement is in the best interest of the stockholders

Service providers3 gaps

Legal Counsel
Gap
Not disclosed
No independent counsel named for investors. Common in small syndications where Manager and Fund share counsel — reduces independence. Verify during diligence.
Auditor
Gap
Not disclosed
Audit intent not stated in PPM. Ask the sponsor: will the fund be audited, by whom, and on what frequency?
Fund Administrator
Gap
Not disclosed
No third-party fund administrator referenced. Manager likely handles admin internally — common for <$10M raises but reduces independence.
Placement Agent
OK
No placement agent engaged
No placement agent engaged. Direct placement by Manager — no placement fees eat your invested capital.
