CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K of RREEF Property Trust, Inc., other than historical facts may be considered forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). We intend for all such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act, as applicable by law. Such statements include, in particular, statements about our plans, strategies, and prospects and are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, as well as known and unknown risks, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected or anticipated. Therefore, such statements are not intended to be a guaranty of our performance in future periods. Such forward-looking statements can generally be identified by our use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “would,” “could,” “should,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “believe,” “continue,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict” or other similar words.

The forward-looking statements included herein are based upon our current expectations, plans, estimates, assumptions and beliefs that involve numerous risks and uncertainties. Assumptions relating to the foregoing involve judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive and market conditions and future business decisions, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond our control. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, our actual results and performance could differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. Factors which could have a material adverse effect on our operations and future prospects include, but are not limited to:


•	our ability to raise and effectively deploy proceeds from our public offering;


•	changes in economic conditions generally and the real estate and securities markets specifically;


•	legislative or regulatory changes (including changes to the laws governing the taxation of REITs);


•	the effect of financial leverage, including changes in interest rates, availability of credit, loss of flexibility due to negative and affirmative covenants, refinancing risk at maturity and generally the increased risk of loss if our investments fail to perform as expected;


•	our ability to access sources of liquidity when we have the need to fund redemptions of common stock in excess of the proceeds from the sales of shares of our common stock in our continuous offering and the consequential risk that we may not have the resources to satisfy redemption requests; and


•	changes to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

Forward-looking statements that were true at the time made may ultimately prove to be incorrect or false. We caution readers not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which reflect our management’s view only as of the date this Annual Report on Form 10-K is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). We make no representation or warranty (express or implied) about the accuracy of any such forward-looking statements contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Additionally, we undertake no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated events or changes to future operating results. The forward-looking statements should be read in light of the risk factors identified in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

Formation

RREEF Property Trust, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us”) is a Maryland corporation that was formed on February 7, 2012 and qualified as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for federal income tax purposes beginning with the taxable year ended December 31, 2013. We intend to invest in a diversified portfolio of high quality, income-producing commercial real estate located throughout the United States, including, without limitation, office, industrial, retail and multifamily properties. Although we intend to invest primarily in real properties, we also intend to acquire common and preferred stock of publicly traded REITs and other real estate companies and debt backed principally by real estate, such as senior mortgage loans, subordinated mortgage loans, mezzanine loans and commercial mortgage-backed securities, or CMBS. We refer to real estate equity securities and real estate loans collectively as “real estate-related assets.” We will seek geographic diversification of our property portfolio and for the properties underlying our investments in real estate-related assets principally in major metropolitan areas that we consider target and investable markets throughout the United States. As of December 31, 2014, we owned five commercial properties located in four states, comprising 554,910 rentable square feet of commercial space. As of December 31, 2014, these properties were 100% leased. As of December 31, 2014, we owned a real estate securities portfolio with a value of $6,400,611.

Substantially all of our business is conducted through our operating partnership, RREEF Property Operating Partnership, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”). We own, directly or indirectly, 100% of the partnership interest in the Operating Partnership. The Company is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership and originally contributed $199,000 to the Operating Partnership in exchange for its general partner interest. The initial limited partner of the Operating Partnership is RREEF Property OP Holder, LLC (the “OP Holder”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, which originally contributed $1,000 to the Operating Partnership. We are externally managed by RREEF America, L.L.C. (“RREEF America” or our “advisor”), our advisor and sponsor. RREEF America is the alternatives real estate division of Deutsche Asset & Wealth Management ("Deutsche AWM"), a division of Deutsche Bank, AG.

RREEF America acts as our advisor pursuant to an advisory agreement with us, and is responsible for managing our affairs on a day-to-day basis and for identifying and making acquisitions and investments on our behalf. Our charter provides that our independent directors are responsible for reviewing the performance of our advisor and determining whether the compensation paid to our advisor and its affiliates is reasonable. The advisory agreement with RREEF America is for a one-year term and is renewed on an annual basis by our board of directors. The fee payable to the advisor under the advisory agreement contains both a fixed and performance component. For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2014, no fixed component was earned and the performance component was waived by our advisor. We have no paid employees and rely upon RREEF America and its affiliates to provide substantially all of our day-to-day management.

On January 3, 2013, pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-11 (File No. 333-180356) filed under the Securities Act (the “Registration Statement”), we commenced our initial public offering on a “best efforts” basis of a maximum of $2,500,000,000 in shares of our common stock (the “Offering”). Of this amount, we are offering up to $2,250,000,000 to the public in shares in our primary offering and up to $250,000,000 in shares to our stockholders pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan. We are offering to sell any combination of two classes of shares of our common stock, Class A shares and Class B shares, with a dollar value up to the maximum offering amount. The two share classes have different selling commissions and ongoing fees and expenses.

Pursuant to the terms of the Offering, we were required to deposit all subscription proceeds in escrow until the date we received purchase orders for at least $10,000,000 (including shares purchased by our sponsor, its affiliates and our directors and officers and excluding purchase orders received from Pennsylvania investors) in any combination of Class A and Class B shares, and our board of directors authorized the release of the escrowed purchase order proceeds to us so we can commence operations. On May 30, 2013, RREEF America purchased $10,000,000 of our Class B shares, and on that same day, following the authorization of our board of directors, our escrow agent released all of the escrowed proceeds to us (excluding proceeds from Pennsylvania investors). Since then and going forward, the per share purchase price of our common stock varies from day-to-day, and on any given business day, for a given share class, will be equal to our net

Table of Contents

asset value (“NAV”) of such share class divided by the number of shares of our common stock outstanding for such share class as of the end of business on such day, plus, for Class A shares only, applicable selling commissions.

We are structured as a perpetual-life, non-exchange traded REIT. This means that, subject to regulatory approval of our filing for additional offerings, we intend to sell shares of our common stock on a continuous basis and for an indefinite period of time. We will endeavor to take all reasonable actions to avoid interruptions in the continuous offering of our shares of common stock. There can be no assurance, however, that we will not need to suspend our continuous offering. The offering must be registered in every state in which we offer or sell shares. Generally, such registrations are for a period of one year. Thus, we may have to stop selling shares in any state in which our registration is not renewed or otherwise extended annually. We reserve the right to terminate the Offering at any time and to extend our offering term to the extent permissible under applicable law.

Investment Strategy, Objectives and Policies

Our investment strategy is to acquire a diversified portfolio of: (1) high quality, income-producing commercial properties, (2) common and preferred stock of REITs and other real estate companies, which we refer to as “real estate equity securities,” and (3) debt backed principally by real estate, which we refer to as “real estate loans.” We refer to investments in real estate loans and real estate equity securities collectively as “real estate-related assets.” Our real property portfolio will be diversified in investable and target markets across the United States as selected by Deutsche AWM and will consist primarily of office, industrial, retail and multifamily property types. The actual percentage of our portfolio that is invested in office, industrial, retail and multifamily property categories may fluctuate due to market conditions and investment opportunities. Deutsche AWM investable markets include those markets that have relatively high liquidity and lower relative supply risks, and have outperformed during certain stages of previous real estate investment cycles. Deutsche AWM target markets are a subset of the investable market universe in which Deutsche AWM forecasts strong economic and real estate fundamentals and Deutsche AWM believes are poised to outperform the overall U.S. real estate market during the next five years. We intend to provide our investors with superior risk-adjusted long-term returns, including attractive and stable distributions of current income as well as capital preservation and appreciation in our NAV. In addition, we believe that our structure as a perpetual-life REIT will allow us to acquire and manage our investment portfolio in a more active and flexible manner because we will not be limited by a pre-determined operational period and the need to provide a “liquidity event” at the end of that period.

We expect to maintain a level of liquid assets primarily in real estate equity securities as a source of funds to meet redemption requests, in addition to a revolving line of credit.

Our primary investment objectives are:


•	to generate an attractive level of current income for distribution to our stockholders;


•	to preserve and protect our stockholders’ capital investments;


•	to achieve appreciation of our NAV; and


•	to enable stockholders to allocate a portion of their diversified, long-term investment portfolios to direct real estate as an alternative asset class.

We cannot assure investors that we will attain our investment objectives.

Our board of directors is comprised of four directors who are independent from us and three directors who are employees of our advisor or its affiliates. Our board of directors, including our independent directors, reviews our investment portfolio on a quarterly basis. In addition, our board of directors has adopted investment guidelines which set forth, among other things, our portfolio allocation targets, guidelines for investing in our targeted property types and investment policies restricting certain types of investments, all of which we describe in more detail below. Our board of directors reviews the investment guidelines on an annual basis or more frequently as it deems appropriate. Changes to our investment guidelines must be approved by our board of directors, including a majority of our independent directors. Our board of directors may revise our investment guidelines without the concurrence of our stockholders. However, our board of directors will not amend our charter, including any investment policies that are provided in our charter, without the concurrence of holders of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote, except for amendments that do not adversely affect the rights, preferences and privileges of our stockholders.

Our investment guidelines delegate to our advisor authority to execute acquisitions and dispositions of investments in properties and real estate-related assets, in each case so long as such acquisitions and dispositions are consistent with the investment guidelines adopted by our board of directors. Our board of directors has ultimate oversight over our

Table of Contents

investments and may change from time to time the scope of authority delegated to our advisor with respect to acquisition and disposition transactions. The consideration we pay for each property acquired will ordinarily be based on the fair market value of the property. However, in connection with an acquisition of a property from RREEF America, as our sponsor and advisor, a director or any of their affiliates, and in connection with any other acquisition in which a majority of our independent directors determines to be appropriate, the fair market value of the property acquired will be determined by an independent appraiser selected by our independent directors.

During the period until we have raised substantial proceeds in our Offering and acquired a diversified portfolio of our target investments, which we refer to as our “ramp-up period,” we will balance the goal of achieving our portfolio allocation targets with the goal of carefully evaluating and selecting investment opportunities in order to maximize diversification and risk-adjusted returns. As a result, during our ramp-up period, the percentages of our net assets comprised of various categories of assets may fluctuate as we identify investment opportunities and make investments with a combination of proceeds from this offering and proceeds from borrowings.

Following our ramp-up period, we will seek to invest:


•	up to 80% of our net assets in properties;


•	up to 35% of our net assets in real estate equity securities;


•	up to 15% of our net assets in real estate loans; and


•	up to 10% of our net assets in cash, cash equivalents and other short-term investments.

Acquisition and Investment Policies

Commercial Real Estate Properties

We intend to have up to 80% of our net assets in a diversified portfolio of high quality, income-producing commercial real estate properties diversified across office, industrial, retail and multifamily property types. We believe that our advisor’s significant experience acquiring, managing and exiting real property investments across all of our targeted property types in various U.S. real estate markets will be beneficial to achieving our investment goals and objectives.

Headquartered in New York, our advisor has been acquiring and managing real estate investments in the United States since 1975. As of December 31, 2014, our advisor managed approximately $18.0 billion in real property in the Americas comprised of 321 properties and approximately 74.6 million square feet. Our advisor will utilize the personnel and resources of Deutsche AWM’s real estate investment business as appropriate in performing services for us, including leveraging the capabilities and strengths of its global platform.

A more detailed description of the property types we will invest in is as follows:

Office Properties. Office sector properties are generally categorized based upon location and quality. Buildings may be located in Central Business Districts, or CBDs, or suburbs. Buildings are also classified by general quality and size, ranging from Class A properties which are generally large-scale buildings of the highest quality to Class C buildings which are below investment grade. We intend to invest in Class A or B office properties that are near executive housing, have sufficient transportation access or are located within well-established suburban office/business parks or CBDs. We expect the term of our office leases to be between five and ten years which can help mitigate the volatility of our portfolio’s income.

Industrial Properties. Industrial properties are generally categorized as distribution centers or warehouses, research and development facilities, flex space or manufacturing. The performance of industrial properties is typically dependent on the proximity to economic centers and the movement of trade and goods. In addition, industrial properties typically utilize a triple-net lease structure pursuant to which the tenant is generally responsible for property operating expenses in addition to base rent which helps mitigate the risks associated with rising expenses. We intend to invest in industrial properties that are located in major distribution hubs and near transportation modes such as port facilities, airports, rail lines and major highway systems.

Retail Properties. The retail sector is comprised of five main categories: neighborhood retail, community centers, regional centers, super-regional centers and single-tenant stores. Location, convenience, accessibility and tenant mix are generally considered to be among the key criteria for successful retail investments. Retail leases tend to range from three to five years for small tenants and ten to 15 years for large anchor tenants. Leases, particularly for anchor tenants, may include a base payment plus a percentage of retail sales. Income and population density are generally considered to be key

Table of Contents

drivers of local retail demand. We will seek investments in retail properties that are located within densely populated residential areas with favorable demographic characteristics and near other retail and service amenities.

Multifamily Properties. Multifamily properties are generally defined as having five or more dwelling units that are part of a single complex and offered for rental use as opposed to detached single-family residential properties. There are three main categories of multifamily properties: garden-style, low-rise and high-rise. Apartments generally have the lowest vacancy rates of any property type, with the better performing properties typically located in urban markets or locations with strong employment and demographic dynamics. We plan to invest in multifamily properties that are located in or near employment centers with favorable potential for employment growth and conveniently situated with access to transportation and retail and service amenities. Traditional multifamily properties are generally leased by apartment unit to individual tenants for one year terms.

Geographic Diversification

We generally will invest in properties in the largest metropolitan areas in the United States, classified into our target and investable markets. Our advisor's research group will produce forecasts for all of the major real estate markets that pass a set of screening criteria used to define the most attractive target real estate investment markets. Research specialists for the office, industrial, retail and multifamily sectors have designed appropriate models for assessing supply and demand in the major target submarkets for investment in these metros. Demand models are based upon economic and employment forecasts provided by our advisor's economists. The purpose of forecasting market behavior is to determine which of the target markets (and property sectors therein) are likely to outperform over the forecasted period in order to determine views on active tactical weighting of a portfolio.

Financing

We intend to incur debt to acquire properties where our advisor determines that incurring such debt is in our best interest, and in the best interest of our stockholders. We may finance the properties on our secured line of credit or obtain new property level debt. In addition, from time to time, we may acquire properties without financing and later incur mortgage debt secured by one or more of these properties if favorable financing terms are available. We will use the proceeds from the debt to acquire additional properties and maintain liquidity. See “Borrowing Policies” below for a more detailed description of our borrowing intentions and limitations.

Description of Leases

In general, we will seek a favorable mix of tenants in our properties to achieve greater economic diversification than is afforded by geographic and property type considerations alone. We will strive to maintain a stable blend of national and international credit tenants and creditworthy regional and local tenants. Tenancy diversification criteria will be applied at the property level as well as at the portfolio level.

The length of tenancy generally will reflect local market conditions for each property. However, if possible, we will seek to negotiate longer-term leases to reduce the cash flow volatility associated with lease rollovers, provided that contractual rent increases are included. We intend to manage lease rollover risk on a portfolio basis. Where appropriate, we will also seek leases that provide for operating expenses, and/or expense increases, to be paid by the tenants. We may acquire properties under which the lease term has partially expired. We also may acquire properties with shorter lease terms if the property is in an attractive location, if the property is difficult to replace, or if the property has other favorable attributes.

Real Estate Underwriting Process

Our property acquisitions will be sourced by our advisor's real estate transactions group, which has offices strategically located in San Francisco, Chicago and New York. The acquisitions professionals of our advisor spend a majority of their time sourcing, evaluating, and closing transactions. These professionals are organized along regional lines with specific markets and regions of coverage.

Potential acquisitions are systematically screened in the investment process to select the most attractive opportunities. The transactions group applies a comprehensive, systematic, and in-depth process to the analysis of institutional real estate markets as well as to the future performance prospects of each potential investment. The criteria includes specifications such as transaction size, investment process (time frames), leverage, geographic location, property type, physical characteristics, return hurdles, and various other portfolio considerations.

Table of Contents

After sourcing a potential acquisition and performing an initial analysis, the transactions group presents the potential transaction to the Americas Investment Committee. The Americas Investment Committee has responsibility for screening and approving each potential real property investment as well as investments in real estate loans. Once deal terms are agreed with a seller, the opportunity is first presented to the program or account that has the highest priority position on the rotation priority list. See "Conflicts of Interest-Certain Conflict Resolution Measures-Allocation of Investment Opportunities below for further detail. If RREEF Property Trust has the highest priority position, and the acquisition is deemed appropriate for our portfolio and meriting future investigation, then the Americas Investment Committee, including our CEO and lead portfolio manager, formally allocates the investment to the Company. At this point the acquisition is approved to move forward and due diligence is commenced.

Due Diligence

Our advisor will perform a comprehensive due diligence review on each property that it proposes to purchase on our behalf. As part of this review, our advisor will obtain an environmental site assessment, which at a minimum includes a Phase I assessment, and structural condition reports. Our advisor will propose to purchase a property only if our advisor is satisfied with the physical and environmental status of the property as well as the property’s tenancy. Our advisor will also perform tax due diligence on the property to ensure that any purchased asset will not adversely affect our ability to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. In addition, our advisor will generally seek to condition our obligation to acquire the property on the delivery and verification of certain documents from the seller or developer, including, where appropriate:


•	plans and specifications;


•	surveys;


•	evidence of marketable title;


•	title and liability insurance policies;


•	asbestos, soil, physical, structural and engineering reports;


•	evidence of compliance with zoning, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and fair housing laws;


•	tenant leases and other relevant legal documents; and


•	financial statements covering recent operations of properties having operating histories.

Closing

The transactions group which sourced and evaluated the acquisition, negotiated the agreement, and coordinated the due diligence process also takes responsibility for closing the transaction. Many resources are utilized during closing and may include engineering, finance, legal counsel, accounting, portfolio management, asset management and risk management personnel.

Disposition Policies

We anticipate that we will hold most of our properties for an extended period. However, we may determine to sell a property before the end of its anticipated holding period. We will monitor each investment within the portfolio and the overall portfolio composition for appropriateness in meeting our investment objectives. Our advisor may determine to sell a property before the end of its anticipated holding period if:


•	an opportunity arises to enhance overall investment returns by reallocating capital through sale of the property to a more attractive investment;


•	there are diversification benefits associated with disposing of the property and rebalancing our investment portfolio;


•	in the judgment of our advisor, the value of the property might decline or the property may underperform;


•	the property was acquired as part of a portfolio acquisition and does not meet our investment guidelines;


•	we need to generate liquidity to satisfy redemption requests, to pay distributions to our stockholders or for working capital; or


•	in the judgment of our advisor, the sale of the property is otherwise in our best interest.

Generally, we will reinvest proceeds from the sale, financing or other disposition of properties in a manner consistent with our investment strategy, although we may be required to distribute such proceeds to the stockholders in order to comply with REIT requirements or in other instances.

Table of Contents

Ownership Structure

In most cases, our Operating Partnership or one or more subsidiary entities controlled by our Operating Partnership will acquire properties on our behalf. We may also utilize qualified REIT subsidiaries or taxable REIT subsidiaries if such structures would provide an economic benefit to us. Generally, we will acquire the entire equity ownership interest in properties. However, we may also enter into joint ventures, general partnerships, co-tenancies and other participation arrangements with other investors to acquire properties. In most cases in which less than the entire equity ownership interest is acquired, we will seek critical elements of control. We will generally acquire fee simple interests for the properties (in which we own both the land and the building improvements), but may consider leased fee and leasehold interests if we believe the investment is consistent with our investment strategy and objectives.

Joint Venture Investments

We may co-invest in the future with third parties through partnerships or other entities, which we collectively refer to as joint ventures, acquiring non-controlling interests in or sharing responsibility for managing the affairs of the joint venture. In such event, we would not be in a position to exercise sole decision-making authority regarding the joint venture. Investments in joint ventures may, under certain circumstances, involve risks not present were a third party not involved, including the possibility that partners or co-venturers might become bankrupt or fail to fund their required capital contributions. Co-venturers may have economic or other business interests or goals which are inconsistent with our business interests or goals, and may be in a position to take actions contrary to our policies or objectives. Such investments may also have the potential risk of impasses on decisions, such as a sale, because neither we nor the co-venturer would have full control over the joint venture. Disputes between us and co-venturers may result in litigation or arbitration that would increase our expenses and prevent our officers and directors from focusing their time and effort on our business. Consequently, actions by or disputes with co-venturers might result in subjecting properties owned by the joint venture to additional risk. In addition, we may in certain circumstances be liable for the actions of our co-venturers.

Joint Venture and Co-ownership Arrangements with Affiliates

Subject to approval by our board of directors and the separate approval of our independent directors, we may invest in properties and assets jointly with affiliates of our advisor as well as third parties. Joint ownership of properties, under certain circumstances, may involve conflicts of interest. Examples of these conflicts include:


•	such partners or co-investors might have economic or other business interests or goals that are inconsistent with our business interests or goals, including goals relating to the financing, management, operation, leasing or sale of properties held in the joint venture or the timing of the termination and liquidation of the venture;


•	such partners or co-investors may be in a position to take action contrary to our policies or objectives, including our policy with respect to maintaining our qualification as a REIT;

•

under joint venture or other co-investment arrangements, neither co-venturer or co-investor may have the power to control the venture or co-investment and, under certain circumstances, an impasse could result and this impasse could have an adverse impact on the joint venture or co-investment, which could adversely impact the operations and profitability of the joint venture or co-investment and/or the amount and timing of distributions we receive from such joint venture or co-investment; and


•	under joint venture or other co-investment arrangements, each joint venturer or co-investor may have a buy/sell right and, as a result of the exercise of such a right, we may be forced to sell our interest, or buy a co-venturer’s interest, at a time when it would not otherwise be in our best interest to do so.

Each transaction we enter into with our advisor or its affiliates is subject to an inherent conflict of interest. Our board of directors may encounter conflicts of interest in enforcing our rights against any affiliate in the event of a default by or disagreement with an affiliate, or in invoking powers, rights or options pursuant to any agreement between us and any affiliate. A majority of our directors, including a majority of the independent directors, who are disinterested in the transaction must approve each transaction between us and our advisor or any of its affiliates as being fair and reasonable to us and on terms and conditions no less favorable to us than those available from unaffiliated third parties.

Value-Add Opportunities

We may periodically seek to enhance investment returns through various value-add opportunities. Examples of potential value-add investments include properties with significant leasing risk, forward purchase commitments, renovation opportunities and other nontraditional property types. These investments generally have a higher risk and

Table of Contents

higher return profile than properties that fall within our primary investment strategy. Currently, value-add investments are capped at 15% of our gross asset value so long as, in the aggregate, they are not expected to materially change the risk profile of the overall portfolio.

Development Opportunities

We do not intend to acquire higher risk and higher return properties in need of significant renovation, redevelopment or repositioning. However, we may invest in these types of properties if we believe that attractive risk-adjusted investment returns can be achieved through proactive management techniques or value-added programs. Investments in development assets are included in, and subject to, the 15% value-added cap described in "Value-Add Opportunities" section above. We are permitted to undertake speculative development at or adjacent to properties we own.

Real Estate Equity Securities

We may invest up to 35% of our net assets in U.S. real estate equity securities. We believe that the inclusion of an allocation to real estate equity securities allows us to improve the total return profile of an investment in our shares of common stock. We believe that our advisor’s ability to acquire real estate equity securities in conjunction with acquiring a diverse portfolio of properties and real estate loans affords us additional liquidity and diversification, which provides greater financial flexibility and discretion to construct an investment portfolio designed to achieve our investment objectives throughout various economic cycles.

We believe that execution of our strategy to include U.S. real estate equity securities in our overall investment portfolio will be greatly enhanced due to the expertise that our advisor provides us through its access to the in-house real estate equity securities platform of Deutsche AWM’s real estate investment business ("Deutsche AWM Real Estate Securities"). As of December 31, 2014, the Deutsche AWM Real Estate Securities team was comprised of 23 professionals who manage approximately $10.0 billion of real estate securities globally, making Deutsche AWM one of the largest managers of actively managed listed real estate securities in the world. The investment approach of Deutsche AWM Real Estate Securities focuses on active stock selection by local investment teams with a global top-down overlay of strategic allocation and risk management. The importance of underlying real estate fundamentals is emphasized in the selection and valuation of stocks.

Subject to the percentage of ownership limitations and gross income and asset requirements required for REIT qualification, we intend to invest in equity securities of companies engaged in the real estate sector where such investment would be consistent with our investment policies and our status as a REIT. In any event, we do not intend that our investments in securities will require us to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act, and we intend to generally divest appropriate securities before any such registration would be required.

Equity securities in the real estate sector include those issued by REITs and similar tax transparent entities, real estate operating companies (“REOCs”) and other real estate related companies that, as their primary business own, develop, operate or finance real estate in the United States of America. Equity securities issued by REITs, REOCs and other real estate related companies include any stapled security or an issued security of an equity nature of a unit trust company that derives the majority of its earnings from real estate activities. REOCs and other real estate related companies in which we invest typically will either have at least 50% of their assets in real estate or related operations, or derive at least 50% of their revenues from such sources. Our real estate equity securities portfolio may consist of securities investments of different types of REITs, such as equity or mortgage REITs. Equity REITs buy real estate and pay investors from the rents they receive and from any profits on the sale of their properties. Mortgage REITs lend money to real estate companies and pay investors from the interest they receive on those loans. Hybrid REITs engage in owning real estate and making real estate based loans. While our advisor expects that our assets will be invested primarily in equity REITs, in changing market conditions we may invest more significantly in other types of REITs. We may also acquire exchange traded funds and mutual funds focused on REITs and real estate companies. We intend to invest primarily in common stock, but may also include other types of equities, such as preferred or convertible stock.

We may invest in securities that are listed on one or more nationally recognized stock exchanges. Subject to our ability to participate in such investments, we may also invest in securities that are not yet listed on a public stock exchange, but which (1) the issuer has publicly announced its intention to list the securities on a public stock exchange within 180 days of the date of such announcement; or (2) are issuances of a listed company and the securities are expected to list on a public stock exchange within 180 days of the date of issuance.

Table of Contents

We may also invest in securities that our advisor has determined are not sufficiently marketable to be considered liquid securities, including securities that are eligible for resale in reliance on an exemption from registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We may also invest in exchange-traded funds, including those primarily designed to replicate or model the performance of securities market indices.

We may also invest in securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities (“U.S. Government Securities”); certificates of deposit, demand and time deposits and bankers’ acceptances; prime commercial paper, including master demand notes; and repurchase agreements secured by U.S. Government Securities (or other interim investments in foreign government and other non-U.S. short-term investments).

Our charter requires that any investment in equity securities (other than equity securities traded on a national securities exchange or included for quotation on an inter-dealer quotation system) must be approved by a majority of our directors, including a majority of our independent directors, not otherwise interested in the transaction as being fair, competitive and commercially reasonable.

We may not acquire (1) securities of companies with a market capitalization of less than $50 million at the time of purchase nor (2) interests or equity securities in any entity either holding investments, or engaging in activities, prohibited by our charter. We also may not engage in the business of securities trading, underwriting or the agency distribution of securities issued by other persons.

Real Estate Equity Securities - Investment Decision Process

In evaluating prospective real estate equity securities investments, our advisor’s portfolio construction process encompasses a two-step investment strategy through a combination of bottom-up stock selection and top-down sector allocation.

Portfolio Construction Process

Deutsche AWM Real Estate Securities combines fundamental real estate analysis with detailed bottom-up company valuation to derive expected returns by company. Our advisor’s investment process begins with a top-down view of the real estate markets utilizing information from third party research providers and its in house resources. Deutsche AWM Real Estate Securities has the ability to take advantage of accessing real-time property market information provided through our advisor’s direct property investment activities, which include research, transactions, portfolio management, asset management, and capital markets expertise. In addition, Deutsche AWM Real Estate Securities has significant history and long-standing relationships with the REITs and their management teams.

Sector Allocations

Sector allocations are established at a minimum on a quarterly basis and reviewed by our advisor’s Real Estate Securities Strategic Investment Committee, whose membership consists of senior members from the Chief Investment Office, acquisitions, portfolio management, and research teams of the advisor, as well as the Deutsche AWM Real Estate Securities portfolio management team. Sector allocations are based on analyzing trends in each property sector, individual company performance and valuation, and recommendations for property sector allocations for the upcoming quarter. Members of the committee from our advisor’s direct property investment business discuss views on trends within property sectors and geographic regions.

After discussing individual property sectors and geographic regions, specific property sector allocation recommendations are discussed with each Investment Committee member. Deutsche AWM Real Estate Securities coordinates comments on final allocations, which are stated as ranges within which the portfolio will be positioned. The keys to the property sector allocation process involve (1) discussing real-time trends and future expectations for property type sectors from the direct side participants, (2) comparing these to the public markets views, and (3) positioning the portfolio to take advantage of discrepancies.

Stock Selection

Once property sector weights have been determined, issuers within each sector are selected by using a valuation process in which Deutsche AWM Real Estate Securities forecasts total return utilizing our advisor’s proprietary valuation model. Sector specialists within Deutsche AWM Real Estate Securities forecast 10-year cash flows for each issuer by utilizing our advisor’s market level revenue forecasts and a detailed breakdown of each issuer’s portfolio. Deutsche AWM

Table of Contents

Real Estate Securities calculates a unique required return for each issuer based on the issuer’s market exposure and property quality. Deutsche AWM Real Estate Securities leverages information provided by our advisor’s property acquisition and disposition professionals to determine a net real estate value for the issuer's portfolio. Net asset values for the issuers are adjusted for differences in operations and corporate strategy, management quality, liquidity, general and administrative expense and franchise value. Stocks are then selected and weights are identified based on our advisor’s review of total return potential for each issuer through this valuation process, and through discussion of these expectations among the portfolio management team and the property sector analyst. Decisions on which securities to buy or sell are based on in-depth research of public and direct property markets, while taking a disciplined approach to managing risk. The stock valuation and portfolio construction process focuses primarily on price/NAV, but also considers price/cash flow, and enterprise value/EBIDTA (or inversely, equity cash flow yield and implied capitalization rates).

Sale of Real Estate Equity Securities

Our advisor may choose to sell a security for a variety of reasons, including but not limited to the following:


•	the security is not fulfilling its investment purpose;


•	our advisor determines that the security has reached its optimum valuation; or


•	a particular company’s condition or general economic conditions have changed

Investing in and Originating Real Estate Loans

We may invest up to 15% of our net assets in real estate loans. The inclusion of an allocation to real estate loans allows us to add sources of income and further diversify our portfolio. The type of debt interests we will seek to acquire will be obligations backed principally by real estate of the type that generally meets our criteria for direct investment, including, without limitation, senior mortgage loans, subordinated mortgage loans, mezzanine loans and commercial mortgage-backed securities ("CMBS"). We do not intend to invest in real estate loans until our total NAV reaches $100 million. The criteria that our advisor will use in making or investing in loans on our behalf is substantially the same as those involved in acquiring our investments in properties. We expect that the average duration of real estate loans will typically be three to ten years.

We believe that execution of our strategy to include real estate loans in our overall investment portfolio will be greatly enhanced due to the expertise that our advisor provides us through its access to our advisor’s in-house real estate debt investment platform, (the "Debt Investments Group"). The Debt Investments Group is comprised of five professionals with extensive experience in originating, underwriting and investing in mezzanine loans, B-notes, preferred equity and mortgages secured by cash-flowing, or transitional, real estate and real estate related assets across various property types.

Our real estate loans investment strategy is to originate or acquire well-structured, moderate loan-to-value, senior mortgage loans and subordinate real estate debt for institutionally desirable commercial real estate properties sponsored by experienced, financially sound borrowers that achieve strong risk-adjusted returns for investors.

We may originate or acquire interests in mortgage loans, generally on the same types of properties we might otherwise buy. These mortgage loans may pay fixed or variable interest rates or have “participating” features described below. Normally, our mortgage loans will be secured by income-producing properties. They usually will be non-recourse, which means they will not be the borrower’s personal obligations. We expect that most will be first mortgage loans, with first priority liens on the property. These loans may provide for payments of principal and interest or may provide for interest-only payments, with a balloon payment at maturity.

We may make mortgage loans that permit us to participate in the revenues from or appreciation of the underlying property consistent with the rules applicable to qualification as a REIT. These participations will let us receive additional interest, usually calculated as a percentage of the gross income the borrower receives from operating, selling or refinancing the property above cost. We may also receive an option to buy an interest in the property securing the participating loan. If the nature of the underlying property is not consistent with the rules applicable to qualification as a REIT, we may assign participation rights to a taxable REIT subsidiary to avoid prohibited transaction exposure.

We may invest in mezzanine loans, which are a type of subordinate loan where the loan is secured by one or more direct or indirect ownership interests in an entity that directly or indirectly owns real estate. Investors in mezzanine loans are compensated for the increased credit risk from a pricing perspective and still benefit from the right to foreclose on its security, in many instances more efficiently than first mortgage loans. Upon a default by the borrower under a mezzanine

Table of Contents

loan, the mezzanine lender generally can take control of the entity that owns the property on an expedited basis, subject to the rights of the holders of debt senior in priority on the property. Rights of holders of mezzanine loans are usually governed by an intercreditor agreement that provides the mezzanine lender with the right to cure defaults and limit certain decisions of holders of any senior debt secured by the same properties, which provides for additional downside protection and higher recoveries.

We also may invest in CMBS, which are securities that evidence interests in, or are secured by, a single commercial mortgage loan or a pool of commercial mortgage loans. As a result, these securities are subject to all of the risks of the underlying mortgage loans. In a typical CMBS transaction, many single mortgage loans of varying size, property type and location are pooled and transferred to a trust. The trust then issues multiple tranches of bonds that may vary in yield, duration and payment priority, thereby allowing an investor to select a credit level that suits its risk profile. Losses and other shortfalls from expected amounts to be received on the mortgage pool are borne by the most subordinate tranches, which receive payments only after the more senior tranches have received all principal and/or interest to which they are entitled.

The securitization process for CMBS is governed by one or more nationally recognized rating agencies, including Fitch, Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s, who determine the respective bond class sizes, generally based on a sequential payment structure commonly referred to as a “waterfall.” Bonds that are rated from AAA to BBB- by the rating agencies are considered “investment grade.” Bond classes that are subordinate to the BBB class, including unrated bond classes, are considered below investment grade, and are often collectively referred to as the “B-piece” of a CMBS securitization transaction. The respective bond class sizes are determined based on the review of the underlying collateral by the rating agencies. The payments received from the underlying loans are used to make the payments on the securities. Based on the sequential payment priority, the risk of nonpayment for the AAA securities is lower than the risk of nonpayment for the non-investment grade bonds. Accordingly, the AAA class is typically sold at a lower yield compared to the non-investment grade classes that are sold at higher yields. Due to its lower credit ratings and higher risk, successful investing in B-piece debt requires thorough and detailed loan-level due diligence (similar to loan origination), which we believe reduces the competition among potential buyers and presents an opportunity for us to benefit from the experience of our management team and the resources available to it. In addition, B-piece buyers generally have strong negotiating leverage in a CMBS securitization transaction, which may be utilized to favorably influence the structure of the transaction and reject undesirable loans. We may invest in CMBS which are rated AAA through BBB as well as CMBS that are considered below investment grade or are unrated.

Given the complexity of investments in CMBS and CMBS B-pieces and the infrastructure and skills required to successfully make such investments, we believe that the resources of our advisor provide us a competitive advantage in making these types of investments. Our advisor’s ability to evaluate CMBS based on the credit risk of the underlying collateral and the risk of the transactional structure is crucial in creating attractive risk-adjusted investment returns based on our expected performance of a CMBS investment.

We may not make or invest in individual mortgage loans (excluding any investments in mortgage pools, commercial mortgage-backed securities or residential mortgage-backed securities) unless an appraisal is obtained concerning the underlying property, except for mortgage loans insured or guaranteed by a government or government agency. In cases where a majority of our independent directors determines the need, and in all cases in which the transaction is with our advisor, any of our directors or any of their affiliates, an appraisal shall be obtained from an independent appraiser. We will maintain the appraisal in our records for at least five years and it will be available for inspection and duplication by common stockholders. We will also obtain a mortgagee’s or owner’s title insurance policy as to the priority of the mortgage.

We also may not make or invest in mortgage loans that are subordinate to any lien or other indebtedness of any of our directors, advisor or our advisor’s affiliates. Additionally, we may not make or invest in mortgage loans, including construction loans but excluding any investment in commercial mortgage-backed securities or residential mortgage-backed securities, on any one real property if the aggregate amount of all mortgage loans on such real property would exceed an amount equal to 80% of the appraised value of such real property as determined by appraisal unless substantial justification exists because of the presence of other underwriting criteria.

Real Estate Loans - Investment Decision Process

In evaluating prospective real estate loan investments, our advisor will consider factors such as, but not limited to, the following:

Table of Contents


•	conducting site visits;


•	understanding submarket, regional and property market trends as well as the general economic climate;


•	reviewing the reputation, track record and objectives of the deal sponsor and guarantor;


•	meeting key personnel of the deal sponsor;


•	performing property analysis and valuation;


•	current and projected cash flow


•	expected levels of rental and occupancy rates


•	potential for capital appreciation


•	condition and use;


•	analyzing competition and business plan objectives;


•	determining the ratio of the investment amount to the underlying property value;


•	evaluating the degree of liquidity of the investment;


•	in the case of mezzanine loans, determining the ability to acquire the underlying real property;


•	evaluating the legal, tax, regulatory and accounting aspects of the investment structure;


•	performing credit analysis;


•	developing an asset management plan; and


•	considering any additional factors our advisor deems relevant.

The factors considered, including the specific weight we place on each factor, will vary for each prospective loan investment. As a result, we do not, and are not able to, assign a specific weight or level of importance to any particular factor. In addition, we will seek to obtain a customary lender’s title insurance policy or commitment as to the priority of the mortgage or condition of the title. We will also consider the requirements of the REIT rules, which may limit our ability to make certain loan investments.

We may originate loans from mortgage brokers or personal solicitations of suitable borrowers, or may purchase existing loans that were originated by other lenders. Our advisor will evaluate all potential real estate loans to determine if the security for the loan and the loan-to-value ratio ("LTV") meets our investment criteria and objectives. Most loans that we will consider for investment would provide for monthly payments of interest and some may also provide for principal amortization, although many loans of the nature that we will consider provide for payments of interest only and a payment of principal in full at the end of the loan term. We will not originate loans with negative amortization provisions.

Our loans may be subject to regulation by federal, state and local authorities and subject to various laws and judicial and administrative decisions imposing various requirements and restrictions, including, among other things, regulating credit granting activities, establishing maximum interest rates and finance charges, requiring disclosures to customers, governing secured transactions and setting collection, repossession and claims handling procedures and other trade practices. In addition, certain states have enacted legislation requiring the licensing of mortgage bankers or other lenders and these requirements may affect our ability to effectuate our proposed investments in loans. Commencement of operations in these or other jurisdictions may be dependent upon a finding of our financial responsibility, character and fitness. We may determine not to make loans in any jurisdiction in which the regulatory authority determines that we have not complied in all material respects with applicable requirements.

Sale of Real Estate Loans

Our primary investment objective is to hold our real estate loans until the date of maturity. However, in the event an opportunity arises, we may consider a sale of a loan before its maturity date.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Other Short-Term Investments

We intend to invest up to 10% of our assets in cash, cash equivalents and other short-term investments. These types of investments may include the following, to the extent consistent with our qualification as a REIT:


•	money market instruments, cash and other cash equivalents (such as high-quality short-term debt instruments, including commercial paper, certificates of deposit, bankers’ acceptances, repurchase agreements, interest- bearing time deposits and credit rated corporate debt securities);


•	U.S. government or government agency securities; and


•	credit rated corporate debt or asset-backed securities of U.S. or foreign entities, or credit rated debt securities of foreign governments or multi-national organizations.

Other Investments

Table of Contents

We may, but do not presently intend to, make investments other than as described above. At all times, we intend to make investments in such a manner consistent with maintaining our qualification as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code. We do not intend to underwrite securities of other issuers.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

In the normal course of business, we may be exposed to the effect of interest rate changes and price changes and may seek to limit these risks by following established risk management policies and procedures including the use of derivatives. To mitigate exposure to variability in interest rates, we may use derivatives primarily to fix the interest rate on debt which is based on floating-rate indices and to manage the cost of borrowing obligations. We may use a variety of commonly used derivative products, including interest rate swaps, caps, collars and floors. We intend to enter into contracts with only major financial institutions based upon minimum credit ratings and other factors. We will periodically review the effectiveness of each hedging transaction. We intend to conduct our hedging activities in a manner consistent with the REIT qualification requirements.

Borrowing Policies

We intend to use moderate financial leverage to provide additional funds to support our investment activities. This allows us to make more investments than would otherwise be possible, resulting in a more diversified portfolio. Our target leverage ratio after our ramp-up period is approximately 40% of our gross assets, inclusive of property-level and entity-level debt. During our ramp-up period, we may employ greater leverage in order to more quickly build a diversified portfolio of assets. We may leverage our portfolio by assuming or incurring secured or unsecured property-level or entity-level debt. An example of property-level debt is a mortgage loan secured by an individual property or portfolio of properties incurred or assumed in connection with our acquisition of such property or portfolio of properties. An example of entity-level debt is a line of credit obtained by our operating partnership. In an effort to provide for a ready source of liquidity to fund redemptions of shares of our common stock in the event that redemption requests exceed net proceeds from our continuous offering, we may decide to seek to obtain a line of credit under which we would reserve borrowing capacity. Since May 1, 2013, we have had a revolving secured line of credit with available borrowing capacity at all times. Borrowings under the line may be used not only to redeem shares, but also to fund acquisitions or for any other corporate purpose.

Our actual leverage level will be affected by a number of factors, some of which are outside our control. Significant inflows of proceeds from the sale of shares of our common stock will generally cause our leverage as a percentage of our net assets, or our leverage ratio, to decrease, at least temporarily. Significant outflows of equity as a result of redemptions of shares of our common stock will generally cause our leverage ratio to increase, at least temporarily. Our leverage ratio will also increase or decrease with decreases or increases, respectively, in the value of our portfolio. If we borrow under a line of credit to fund redemptions of shares of our common stock or for other purposes, our leverage would increase and may exceed our target leverage. In such cases, our leverage may remain at the higher level until we receive additional net proceeds from our continuous offering or sell some of our assets to repay outstanding indebtedness.

Our board of directors will review our aggregate borrowings at least quarterly. In connection with such review, our board of directors may determine to modify our financial leverage policy in light of then-current economic conditions, relative costs of debt and equity capital, fair values of our properties, general conditions in the market for debt and equity securities, growth and investment opportunities or other factors. If we utilize a line of credit to fund redemptions, we will consider actual borrowings when determining whether we are at our leverage target, but not unused borrowing capacity. If, therefore, we are at our target leverage ratio of 40% and we borrow additional amounts under a line of credit, or if the value of our portfolio decreases, our leverage could exceed 40% of our gross assets. In the event that our leverage ratio exceeds our target, regardless of the reason, we will thereafter endeavor to manage our leverage back down to our target.

There is no limitation in our charter on the amount we may borrow against any single improved real property. However, we may not borrow more than approximately 75% of the sum of the cost of our investments (before non-cash reserves and depreciation), which is based upon the limit specified in our charter that borrowing may not exceed 300% of the cost of our net assets. “Net assets” is defined as our total assets other than intangibles valued at cost (prior to deducting depreciation, reserves for bad debts and other non-cash reserves) less total liabilities. However, we may temporarily borrow in excess of this amount if such excess is approved by a majority of our directors, including a majority of our independent directors, and disclosed to stockholders in our next quarterly report, along with justification for such excess. In such event, we will review our debt levels at that time and take action to reduce any such excess as soon as practicable. In addition to the limitation in our charter regarding our borrowings, our advisor has adopted a

Table of Contents

guideline stating that the leverage on any single improved property divided by its value may not exceed 75% LTV at the time of acquisition. For this purpose, the LTV ratio will be measured at the time such leverage is committed (not giving effect to any subsequent reductions in the value of the properties at closing or thereafter).

Our charter prohibits us from obtaining loans from any of our directors, our advisor or any of their affiliates, unless a majority of our directors (including a majority of our independent directors) not otherwise interested in the transaction approves the loan as fair, competitive and commercially reasonable and on terms and conditions not less favorable than comparable loans between unaffiliated parties under the same or similar circumstances.

Relationship with Our Dealer Manager, Wholesaler and Sub-Advisor

RCS Capital Corporation, ("RCAP"), is the parent company of the SC Distributors, LLC (the "dealer manager"), Realty Capital Securities, LLC (the "wholesaler"), and Strategic Capital Advisory Services, LLC (the "sub-advisor"). In light of the recent developments involving RCAP as described in Part I, Item IA., "Risk Factors," our management wishes to clarify the nature of the relationships between our company, our sponsor and advisor and our board of directors, on the one hand, and RCAP and its affiliates, including the dealer manager, the wholesaler and the sub-advisor, on the other hand.

The dealer manager provides distribution-related services to us on a contractual basis pursuant to the dealer manager agreement and the wholesaler provides distribution-related services to us on a contractual basis pursuant to the wholesaling agreement. Pursuant to a sub-advisory agreement with our advisor, the sub-advisor provides our advisor with administrative services relating to communications with our stockholders, public relations services, marketing services, technology support and various operational services. The dealer manager, the wholesaler and the sub-advisor exercise no control or influence over our investment, asset management or accounting functions or any other aspect of our management or operations, and neither the dealer manager, the wholesaler nor the sub-advisor owns any equity interests in our advisor.

In addition, we operate under the direction of our board of directors, a majority of which are independent of us, RREEF America and its affiliates. Furthermore, no member of our board of directors also serves as a director or executive officer of RCAP, the dealer manager, the wholesaler, the sub-advisor or any of their affiliates.

Conflicts of Interest

We are subject to various conflicts of interest arising out of our relationship with our advisor, its affiliates and its employees, some of whom serve as our executive officers and directors. These conflicts include (1) conflicts with respect to the allocation of the time of our advisor and its key personnel, (2) conflicts with respect to the allocation of investment opportunities and (3) conflicts related to the compensation arrangements between our advisor, its affiliates and us. Our independent directors have an obligation to function on our behalf in all situations in which a conflict of interest may arise. All of our directors have a fiduciary obligation to act on behalf of our stockholders. We have adopted corporate governance measures to mitigate material conflict risk.

Interests of Our Advisor and Its Affiliates in Other Real Estate Programs

We rely on the real estate professionals employed by, and acting on behalf of, our advisor to source potential investments in properties, real estate-related assets and other investments in which we may be interested. Our advisor and certain members of its management team are presently, and in the future intend to be, involved with a number of other real estate programs and activities. Our advisor currently manages private commingled investment funds which are focused on the major real estate property types and markets primarily throughout the United States and, to a limited extent, internationally. Existing funds, such as RREEF America REIT II, and future programs may directly compete with us for investment opportunities because the programs also may seek to provide investors with an attractive level of current income by means of stable distributions from investments in real estate as an asset class. In addition, our advisor manages a number of separate accounts on behalf of institutional investors that seek similar investment opportunities and may compete with us in receiving allocated investment opportunities.

Our advisor and other affiliates are not prohibited from engaging, directly or indirectly, in any other business or from possessing interests in any other business venture or ventures, including businesses and ventures involved in the acquisition, ownership, development, management, leasing or sale of real property or the acquisition, ownership, management and disposition of real estate-related assets. None of the entities affiliated with our advisor are prohibited

Table of Contents

from raising money for another entity that makes the same types of investments that we target, and we may co-invest with any such entity. Any such potential co-investment will be subject to approval by our independent directors.

Our advisor will not make any investment in properties on our behalf or recommend that we make any investment in properties unless the opportunity is approved in advance by our advisor’s Americas Investment Committee. The Americas Investment Committee, which is a committee comprised of certain key personnel of our advisor, is responsible for determining which of its investment programs will have the opportunity to acquire and participate in real property investments as they become available and could face conflicts of interest in making these determinations. As a result, other investment programs and investors advised by our advisor or its affiliates may compete with us with respect to certain investments that we may want to acquire. Pursuant to the Americas Investment Committee charter, the committee administers an allocation policy designed to address this potential conflict of interest. See “—Certain Conflict Resolution Measures—Allocation of Investment Opportunities” below.

Competition for Acquiring, Leasing and Selling Investments

We may compete with other entities that our advisor's affiliates may advise for opportunities to acquire, lease, finance or sell investments. As a result of this competition, certain investment opportunities may not be available to us. Our advisor has developed procedures to resolve potential conflicts of interest in the allocation of investment opportunities between us and other programs or investors it advises. Our advisor will be required to provide information to our board of directors to enable the board, including the independent directors, to determine whether such procedures are being fairly applied to us. See “—Certain Conflict Resolution Measures—Allocation of Investment Opportunities” below for a further description of how potential investment opportunities will be allocated between us and affiliated and other related entities.

Our executive officers, certain of our directors and their affiliates also may acquire or develop real estate and real estate-related assets for their own accounts, and have done so in the past. Furthermore, our executive officers, certain of our directors and their affiliates may form additional real estate investment entities in the future, whether public or private, which can be expected to have the same or similar investment objectives and targeted assets as we have, and such persons may be engaged in sponsoring one or more of such entities at approximately the same time as the offering of our shares of common stock. Our advisor, its employees and certain of its affiliates and related parties will experience conflicts of interest as they simultaneously perform investment services for us and other real estate programs that they sponsor or have involvement with.

Certain of our advisor’s affiliates or other related entities currently own or manage properties in geographic areas in which we own or expect to acquire real properties. Conflicts of interest will exist to the extent that we own real properties in the same geographic areas where real properties owned or managed by RREEF America or its affiliates are located. In such a case, a conflict could arise in the leasing of real properties in the event that we and another entity managed by RREEF America were to compete for the same tenants in negotiating leases, or a conflict could arise in connection with the resale of real properties in the event that we and another entity managed by RREEF America were to attempt to sell similar real properties at the same time. Conflicts of interest may also exist at such time as we or our affiliates or other related entities managing real property on our behalf seek to employ developers, contractors or building managers.

Allocation of Time of Our Advisor’s Key Personnel

We rely on the personnel of our advisor and its affiliates to manage our day-to-day activities and to implement our investment strategy. Our officers and non-independent directors are also employees of our advisor and certain of its affiliates and are presently, and plan in the future to continue to be, involved with real estate programs and activities which are unrelated to us. W. Todd Henderson, our Chairman of the Board, serves as President and Director of RREEF America REIT II and President and Director of RREEF America REIT III. RREEF America REIT II is a private REIT formed to generate attractive, predictable investment returns from low risk equity investments in multifamily, industrial and office properties within the continental United States. RREEF America REIT III is a private REIT formed to generate attractive investment returns from moderate-risk equity investments in undeveloped land, multifamily, industrial, retail and office properties within the continental United States. RREEF America REIT III is closed and is no longer accepting new subscriptions or making new investments. RREEF America REIT II, which is sponsored and managed by our advisor, may directly compete with us for investors and investment opportunities. As a result, these individuals may have conflicts of interest in allocating their time between us and other activities in which they are or may become involved. Our advisor and its employees will devote only as much of its time to our business as our advisor, in its judgment, determines is reasonably required, which, with respect to each individual, may be substantially less than full time. Therefore, our advisor and its employees may experience conflicts of interest in allocating management’s time and services among us and other real estate programs or business ventures that our advisor or its affiliates manage.

result in actions that are more favorable to other entities affiliated with our advisor than to us. However, our advisor has assured us that it and its affiliates have, and will continue to have, sufficient personnel to discharge fully their responsibilities to all of the activities in which they are involved.

Receipt of Fees and Other Compensation by Our Advisor

The advisory agreement with our advisor is not the result of arm’s-length negotiations. As a result, the fees we agree to pay pursuant to the advisory agreement may exceed what we would pay to an independent third party. The advisory agreement requires approval by a majority of our directors, including a majority of the independent directors, not otherwise interested in the transaction as being fair and reasonable to us and on terms and conditions not less favorable than those which could be obtained from unaffiliated entities.

Our advisor will receive substantial fees from us. These compensation arrangements could influence our advisor’s advice to us, as well as the judgment of the personnel of our advisor who serve as our officers or directors. Among other matters, the compensation arrangements could affect the judgment of our advisor’s personnel with respect to:


•	the continuation, renewal or enforcement of the advisory agreement, and the amounts we pay under such agreement;


•	the advisory fee that we pay to our advisor is based upon our NAV, and our advisor will have authority under certain circumstances to adjust the value of certain portions of our portfolio of other real estate related assets, or the calculation of our NAV;


•	our advisor could be motivated to recommend riskier or more speculative investments in order for us to generate the specified levels of performance that would entitle our advisor to incentive compensation; and


•	the decision to buy or sell an asset based on whether it will increase or decrease our NAV as opposed to whether it is the most suitable investment for our portfolio.

We will pay the fixed component of the advisory fee to our advisor regardless of the quality of the services our advisor provides during the term of the advisory agreement. Our advisor, however, has a fiduciary duty to us. If our advisor fails to act in our best interest, then it will have violated this duty. The advisory agreement may be terminated by us or our advisor on 60 days’ notice.

Certain Conflict Resolution Measures

Our charter contains many restrictions relating to conflicts of interest, including those described below.

Advisor Compensation

The independent directors will evaluate at least annually whether the compensation that we contract to pay to our advisor is reasonable in relation to the nature and quality of services performed and whether such compensation is within the limits prescribed by our charter. The independent directors will supervise the performance of our advisor and the compensation we pay to it to determine whether the provisions of our advisory agreement are being carried out.

Term of Advisory Agreement

Each contract for the services of our advisor may not exceed one year, although there is no limit on the number of times that we may retain a particular advisor. Our charter provides that a majority of the independent directors may terminate our advisory agreement with our advisor without cause or penalty on 60 days’ written notice. Our advisor may terminate our advisory agreement on 60 days’ written notice.

Certain Transactions with Affiliates

Each transaction we enter into with our advisor or its affiliates is subject to an inherent conflict of interest. Our board of directors may encounter conflicts of interest in enforcing our rights against any affiliate in the event of a default by or disagreement with an affiliate, or in invoking powers, rights or options pursuant to any agreement between us and any affiliate. In order to reduce the conflicts inherent in transactions with affiliates, our charter has provisions relating to entering into certain types of transactions with our directors, our advisor, our sponsor or any of their affiliates. We may not purchase or lease properties from our sponsor, our advisor, any of our directors or any of their affiliates without a determination by a majority of our board of directors, including a majority of our independent directors, not otherwise interested in the transaction, that the transaction is fair and reasonable and at a price to us no greater than the cost of the

Table of Contents

property to our sponsor, our advisor, our director or their affiliate unless there is substantial justification for such excess amount and such excess is reasonable. In all cases in which real property is acquired from our sponsor, our advisor, any of our directors or any of their affiliates, the fair market value of the property shall be determined by an independent expert selected by our independent directors not otherwise interested in the transaction.

We may not sell or lease properties to our sponsor, our advisor, any of our directors or any of their affiliates without a determination by a majority of ourdirectors, including a majority of our independent directors, not otherwise interested in the transaction, that the transaction is fair and reasonable to us.

In addition, we may not make any loans to our sponsor, our advisor, any of our directors or any of their affiliates, except for certain mortgages for which an independent appraisal is obtained concerning the underlying property and for loans to our wholly owned subsidiaries. Our charter also prohibits us from investing in indebtedness secured by a mortgage on real property which is subordinate to any mortgage or equity interest of our sponsor, our advisor, our directors or any of their affiliates.

Our charter prohibits us from borrowing funds from our sponsor, our advisor, any of our directors or any of their affiliates unless approved by a majority of our directors, including a majority of our independent directors, not otherwise interested in the transaction, as fair, competitive and commercially reasonable, and on terms not less favorable to us than comparable loans between unaffiliated parties under the same or similar circumstances. This prohibition on loans will only apply to advances of cash that are commonly viewed as loans, as determined by our directors. By way of example only, the prohibition on loans would not restrict advances of cash for legal expenses or other costs incurred as a result of any legal action for which indemnification is being sought, nor would the prohibition limit our ability to advance reimbursable expenses incurred by directors or officers, our sponsor, our advisor or any of their affiliates.

A majority of our directors, including a majority of the independent directors, not otherwise interested in the transaction must conclude that all other transactions between us and our advisor, our sponsor, any of our directors or any of their affiliates are fair and reasonable to us and on terms and conditions not less favorable to us than those available from unaffiliated third parties.

Our charter prohibits us from paying a fee to our advisor, our sponsor, our directors or any of their affiliates in connection with redemption of our common stock.

Our advisor, our sponsor, our directors and their affiliates may not vote their shares regarding (1) the removal of any of them or (2) any transaction between them and us. In determining the requisite percentage in interest of shares necessary to approve a matter on which our advisor, our sponsor, our directors and their affiliates may not vote, any shares owned by them will not be included.

Allocation of Investment Opportunities

Many investment opportunities that are suitable for us may also be suitable for other real estate funds, including RREEF America REIT II or future funds which we refer to as a “programs,” and approximately 16 separate accounts managed or advised by our advisor and its affiliates, which we refer to as “accounts.” When our advisor identifies a real estate investment opportunity, it will present the opportunity to the program or account which it advises or manages that has the highest priority position on the rotation priority list, but only if the investment opportunity is suitable for the program or account. The criteria considered in determining whether an opportunity is suitable include the risk profile and portfolio diversification objectives of the program or account and the intensity of management that the property will require.

The rotation priority list will be continuously maintained so that, subject to any conflicting legal or regulatory requirements, the program or account with the longest elapsed time since being allocated an investment opportunity holds the highest priority position. When a program or account accepts an investment opportunity, it will be moved to the lowest priority position, unless (1) it subsequently determines not to proceed with the transaction, (2) the transaction is terminated or determined to be unsuitable for the program or account as a result of the its due diligence review or (3) the transaction is subject to an auction or bidding process that results in the property being sold to a third party. In the event that a transaction is not consummated as a result of any of the three scenarios described above, the program or account will retain its position on the rotation priority list as if it had not accepted the investment opportunity, except that investment opportunities allocated to other programs or accounts after the first program or account initially accepted the opportunity but before the transaction was terminated will not be affected. Notwithstanding the foregoing allocation policy, if an investment opportunity pertains to a property that is contiguous or located near, and is highly competitive

Table of Contents

with, an existing property owned by a program or account, the opportunity will first be offered to the program or account that owns the existing property, regardless of its position on the rotation priority list. In addition, in the event that there are multiple investments to be allocated, all investments must be presented prior to initiating the allocation process so that the program or account holding the highest priority position may select the investment that it considers to be most attractive.

Employees

We have no employees. The employees of our advisor and its affiliates provide services to us related to acquisition and disposition, portfolio management, asset management, research, financing, accounting, investor relations and administration. We are dependent on our advisor and its affiliates for services that are essential to us, including asset acquisition decisions, portfolio management, fund administration and other general administrative responsibilities. In the event that these companies were unable to provide these services to us, we would be required to obtain such services from other sources. As of February 1, 2015, our advisor entered into an agreement with Bank of New York Mellon Corporation ("BNY Mellon"), which is unaffiliated with us, whereby BNY Mellon will provide the fund accounting and reporting, asset management accounting and fund administration services that were previously performed by our advisor; provided that our advisor will remain ultimately responsible for the performance of all such services for us pursuant to the terms of the advisory agreement between us and our advisor.

Because we do not pay our advisor any acquisition, financing or other similar fees in connection with making investments, we reimburse our advisor for out-of-pocket expenses in connection with the selection and acquisition of properties and real estate-related assets, whether or not such investments are acquired, including reasonable salaries and wages, benefits and overhead of all employees of our advisor and its affiliates directly involved in the performance of acquisition services to us other than our executive officers. In addition, we reimburse our advisor for out-of pocket expenses in connection with providing services to us, including our allocable share of our advisor’s overhead, such as rent, utilities and personnel costs for individuals who are directly involved in the performance of services to us and are not our executive officers. The expense reimbursements that we will pay to our advisor include expenses incurred by SC Advisory Services, LLC (the "sub-advisor") on our behalf. Pursuant to the terms of our expense support agreement between us and our advisor, our advisor has agreed to defer reimbursement of certain offering and operating expenses related to our operations that our advisor has incurred, and will continue to incur, until the first calendar quarter of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which either (1) we surpass $200 million in aggregate gross proceeds from our Offering, or (2) the aggregate expense payments by our advisor exceeds $9.2 million.

Reportable Segments

We operate and report our results on a consolidated basis in three segments: commercial real estate properties, real estate equity securities, and real estate loans. See Notes 2 and 11 to our consolidated financial statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Competition

We face competition from various entities for investment opportunities in properties, including other REITs, pension funds, insurance companies, investment funds and companies, partnerships and developers. We may also face competition from real estate programs sponsored by our advisor. Many of these entities may have greater access to capital to acquire properties than we have. Competition from these entities may reduce the number of suitable investment opportunities offered to us or increase the bargaining power of property owners seeking to sell. In addition, as the economy recovers, the number of entities and the amount of funds competing for suitable investments may increase.

We also may face significant competition from owners, operators and developers of properties. Substantially all of our properties will face competition from similar properties in the same market. This competition may affect our ability to attract and retain tenants and may reduce the rents we are able to charge. These competing properties may have vacancy rates higher than our properties, which may result in their owners being willing to lease available space at lower prices than the space in our properties. We may have to provide free rent, incur charges for tenant improvements, or offer other inducements, or we might not be able to timely lease the space, all of which may have an adverse impact on our results of operations. At the time we elect to dispose of our properties, we may also be in competition with sellers of similar properties to locate suitable purchasers for our properties.

Concentration of Credit Risk

As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, we had cash on deposit at multiple financial institutions which were in excess of federally insured levels. We limit significant cash holdings to accounts held by financial institutions with a high credit standing. Therefore, we believe that we are not exposed to any significant credit risk on its cash deposits.

As of December 31, 2014, we owned five properties housing thirteen tenants. As of December 31, 2013, we owned two properties housing six tenants. Percentages of gross rental revenues by location and tenant representing more than 10% of our total gross rental revenues for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 are shown below.

Environmental Matters

All real property and the operations conducted on real property are subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to environmental protection and human health and safety. These laws and regulations generally govern wastewater discharges, air emissions, the operation and removal of underground and above-ground storage tanks, the use, storage, treatment, transportation and disposal of solid and hazardous materials, and the remediation of

Table of Contents

contamination associated with disposals. State and federal laws in this area are constantly evolving, and we intend to take commercially reasonable steps, a summary of which is described below, to protect ourselves from the impact of these laws. Some of these laws and regulations may impose joint and several liability on tenants, owners or managers for the costs of investigation or remediation of contaminated properties, regardless of fault or the legality of the original disposal. Under various federal, state and local environmental laws, ordinances, and regulations, a current or former owner or manager of real property may be liable for the cost to remove or remediate hazardous or toxic substances, wastes, or petroleum products on, under, from, or in such property. These costs could be substantial and liability under these laws may attach whether or not the owner or manager knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of such contamination. Even if more than one person may have been responsible for the contamination, each liable party may be held entirely responsible for all of the clean-up costs incurred.

We generally will not purchase any property unless and until we obtain what is generally referred to as a “Phase I” environmental site assessment and are generally satisfied with the environmental status of the property. A Phase I environmental site assessment basically consists of a visual survey of the building and the property in an attempt to identify areas of potential environmental concerns, visually observing neighboring properties to assess surface conditions or activities that may have an adverse environmental impact on the property, and contacting local governmental agency personnel who perform a regulatory agency file search in an attempt to determine any known environmental concerns in the immediate vicinity of the property. A Phase I environmental site assessment does not generally include any sampling or testing of soil, ground water or building materials from the property and may not reveal all environmental hazards on a property.

We expect that some of the properties that we will acquire may contain, at the time of our investment, or may have contained prior to our investment, underground storage tanks for the storage of petroleum products and other hazardous or toxic substances. All of these operations create a potential for the release of petroleum products or other hazardous or toxic substances. Some of our potential properties may be adjacent to or near other properties that have contained or then currently contain underground storage tanks used to store petroleum products or other hazardous or toxic substances. In addition, certain of our potential properties may be on or adjacent to or near other properties upon which others, including former owners or tenants of our properties, have engaged, or may in the future engage, in activities that may release petroleum products or other hazardous or toxic substances.

From time to time, we may acquire properties, or interests in properties, with known adverse environmental conditions where we believe that the environmental liabilities associated with these conditions are quantifiable and that the acquisition will yield a superior risk-adjusted return. In such an instance, we will underwrite the costs of environmental investigation, clean-up and monitoring into the cost. Further, in connection with property dispositions, we may agree to remain responsible for, and to bear the cost of, remediating or monitoring certain environmental conditions on the properties.

Emerging Growth Company Status

We are an emerging growth company, as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act, or the JOBS Act, and we are eligible to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements. In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. As of the filing of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we will no longer take advantage of such an extended transition period and, as a result, we will adopt new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for other companies. This election is irrevocable pursuant to Section 107 of the JOBS Act.

We could remain an emerging growth company for up to five years, or until the earliest of (1) the last day of the first fiscal year in which our annual gross revenues exceed $1 billion, (2) the date that we become a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, which would occur if the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter and we have been publicly reporting for at least 12 months, or (3) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt during the preceding three-year period.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

You should consider carefully the risks described below and the other information in this Form 10-K, including our consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this Form 10-K. If any of the following risks actually occur, they may materially harm our business and our financial condition and results of operations and cause the Company’s net asset value (“NAV”) to decline.

Risks Related to an Investment in Our Shares

We have a limited operating history and there is no assurance that we will be able to successfully achieve our investment objectives.

We have a limited operating history and may not be able to achieve our investment objectives. We cannot assure investors that the past experiences of our advisor will be sufficient to allow us to successfully achieve our investment objectives. As a result, an investment in our shares of common stock may entail more risk than the shares of common stock of a REIT with a substantial operating history.

There is no public trading market for shares of our common stock; therefore, the ability of our stockholders to dispose of their shares will likely be limited to redemption by us. If stockholders sell their shares to us, they may receive less than the price they paid.

There is no current public trading market for shares of our common stock, and we do not expect that such a market will ever develop. Therefore, redemption of shares by us will likely be the only way for stockholders to dispose of their shares. We will redeem shares at a price equal to the NAV per share of the class of shares being redeemed on the date of redemption and not based on the price at which the shares were purchased. Subject to limited exceptions, shares redeemed within 365 days of the date of purchase will be subject to a short-term trading discount equal to 2% of the gross proceeds otherwise payable with respect to the redemption. As a result, stockholders may receive less than the price they paid for their shares when they sell them to us pursuant to our redemption plan. In addition, we may redeem shares if a stockholder fails to maintain a minimum balance of $500 in shares, even if the failure to meet the minimum balance is caused solely by a decline in our NAV. Shares redeemed for this reason are subject to the short-term trading discount of 2% if redeemed within 365 days of the date of purchase.

Our expense support agreement may be terminated by us or our advisor at any time upon 30 days’ notice.

We entered into an expense support agreement with our advisor on May 29, 2013, which was most recently amended and restated December 16, 2014. Pursuant to the terms of the expense support agreement, as amended, we or our advisor may terminate the expense support agreement at any time, without penalty, upon 30 days' notice. If our advisor terminates the expense support agreement, we must then reimburse our advisor for all current unreimbursed expense payments on a quarterly basis as provided in the expense support agreement. If we terminate the agreement, we must reimburse our advisor for all current unreimbursed expense payments within 30 days after such termination. At our discretion, such reimbursement may be in the form of cash, a non-interest bearing promissory note with equal monthly principal payments over a term of no more than five years, or any combination thereof.

Our payment of organization, offering and operating expenses under the expense support agreement will negatively affect NAV.

Pursuant to the terms of the expense support agreement, as amended, our advisor has incurred, and may continue to incur, expenses related to our operations which we refer to as "expense payments." These expense payments may include, without limitation, expenses that are organizational and offering expenses and operating expenses under the advisory agreement. Our advisor may incur these expenses until the earlier of (i) the date we have surpassed $200,000,000 in aggregate gross proceeds from our offering, which we refer to as the gross proceeds limit, or (ii) the date the aggregate expense payments by our advisor exceed $9,200,000, which we refer to as the

Table of Contents

expense payment limit. We will continue to incur and pay certain fees and property level expenses (inclusive of acquisition related expenses and interest expense on borrowed funds secured by properties). In addition, commencing with the fourth calendar quarter of 2014, we, as opposed to our advisor, began to incur and pay certain operating expenses, which operating expenses will not be treated as expense payments and for which we will not be entitled to reimbursement from our advisor. In the fourth calendar quarter of 2014, we paid approximately $350,000 in organizational and offering expenses, which payment will not be considered an expense payment and for which we will not be entitled to reimbursement from our advisor.

Pursuant to the expense support agreement, commencing with the first calendar quarter of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which either (i) the gross proceeds limit is reached or (ii) the expense payment limit is reached, within the first 30 days of such first calendar quarter and within the first 30 days of each subsequent calendar quarter, we will reimburse our advisor in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) $250,000 (subject to potential future adjustments) and (ii) the aggregate amount of all expense payments made by our advisor prior to the last day of the previous calendar quarter that have not been previously reimbursed by us to our advisor, until the aggregate of all expense payments have been reimbursed by us. These payments will lower our NAV and may negatively impact the value of an investment in us.

Our ability to redeem shares may be limited, and our board of directors may modify or suspend our redemption plan at any time.

The total amount of shares that we will redeem in any calendar quarter will be limited to Class A and Class B shares whose aggregate value (based on the redemption price per share on the date of the redemption) is equal to 5% of our combined NAV for both classes of shares as of the last day of the previous calendar quarter. In addition, if redemptions do not reach the 5% limit in a calendar quarter, the unused portion will be carried over to the next quarter and not any subsequent quarter, such that the maximum amount of redemptions during any quarter may never exceed 10% of the combined NAV for both classes of shares as of the last day of the previous calendar quarter. If the quarterly volume limitation is reached on or before the third business day of a calendar quarter, redemption requests during the next quarter will be satisfied pursuant to a per stockholder allocation instead of a first-come, first-served basis. Pursuant to the per stockholder allocation, each of our stockholders would be allowed to request redemption at any time during such quarter of a total number of shares not to exceed 5% of the shares of common stock the stockholder held as of the end of the prior quarter. The per stockholder allocation requirement will remain in effect for each succeeding quarter for which the total redemptions for the immediately preceding quarter exceeded 4% of our NAV on the last business day of such preceding quarter. If total redemptions during a quarter for which the per stockholder allocation applies are equal to or less than 4% of our NAV on the last business day of such preceding quarter, then redemptions will again be satisfied on a first-come, first-served basis for the next succeeding quarter and each quarter thereafter.

The majority of our assets will consist of properties which cannot generally be readily liquidated without impacting our ability to realize full value upon their disposition. Therefore, we may not always have a sufficient amount of cash to immediately satisfy redemption requests. Should redemption requests, in the business judgment of our board of directors, place an undue burden on our liquidity, adversely affect our investment operations or pose a risk of having a material adverse impact on non-redeeming stockholders, then our board of directors may modify or suspend our redemption plan. If our board of directors materially amends or suspends the plan, other than a temporary suspension to address an external event unrelated to our business, any unused portion of that quarter’s 5% limit will not be carried forward to the next quarter or any subsequent quarter. Because our board of directors is not required to authorize the recommencement of the redemption plan within any specified period of time, our board may effectively terminate the plan by suspending it indefinitely. As a result, the ability of stockholders to have their shares redeemed by us may be limited and at times stockholders may not be able to liquidate their investment.

Our board of directors will not approve each investment selected by our advisor.

Our board of directors approved investment guidelines that delegate to our advisor the authority to execute acquisitions and dispositions of investment properties and real estate-related assets on our behalf, in each case so long as such investments are consistent with the investment guidelines. Our board of directors will review our

Table of Contents

investment guidelines on an annual basis and our investment portfolio on a quarterly basis or, in each case, as often as it deems appropriate. The prior approval of our board of directors will be required only for the acquisition or disposition of assets that are not in accordance with our investment guidelines. In addition, in conducting periodic reviews, our directors will rely primarily on information provided to them by our advisor. Furthermore, transactions entered into on our behalf by our advisor may be costly, difficult or impossible to unwind when they are subsequently reviewed by our board of directors.

The amount and source of distributions we may make to our stockholders is uncertain, and we may be unable to generate sufficient cash flows from our operations to make distributions to our stockholders at any time in the future.

Our ability to make distributions to our stockholders may be adversely affected by a number of factors, including the risk factors described herein. Because we currently have only five properties and have not yet identified additional properties to acquire with the proceeds of our offering, we may not generate sufficient income to make distributions to our stockholders. Our board of directors will make determinations regarding distributions based upon, among other factors, our financial performance, debt service obligations, debt covenants and capital expenditure requirements. Among the factors that could impair our ability to make distributions to our stockholders are:

•the limited size of our portfolio in the early stages of our development;

•our inability to invest the proceeds from sales of our shares on a timely basis in income producing

properties, real estate equity securities and real estate loans;

•our inability to realize attractive risk-adjusted returns on our investments;

•unanticipated expenses or reduced revenues that reduce our cash flow or non-cash earnings;

•defaults in our investment portfolio or decreases in the value of our investments; and

•the fact that anticipated operating expense levels may not prove accurate, as actual results may vary

from estimates.

As a result, we may not be able to make distributions to our stockholders at any time in the future, and the level of any distributions we do make to our stockholders may not increase or even be maintained over time, any of which could materially and adversely affect the value of an investment in our shares.

The amount of distributions we may pay, if any, is uncertain. We may pay distributions from sources other than our cash flow from operations, including, without limitation, the sale of assets, borrowings or offering proceeds, and we have no limits on the amounts we may pay from such sources.

Our long-term corporate strategy is to fund the payment of regular distributions to our stockholders entirely from cash flow from our operations. However, during the early stages of our operations, and from time to time thereafter, we may not generate sufficient cash flow from operations to fully fund distributions to stockholders. Therefore, particularly in the earlier part of our continuous public offering, we may choose to use cash flows from financing activities, which include borrowings (including borrowings secured by our assets), net proceeds of our offering, payments from our advisor under our expense support agreement and other sources, to fund distributions to our stockholders. We may be required to continue to fund our regular distributions from a combination of some of these sources if our investments fail to perform as anticipated, if expenses are greater than expected and due to numerous other factors. We have not established a limit on the amount of our distributions that may be paid from any of these sources.

Using certain of these sources may result in a liability to us, which would require a future repayment. The use of these sources for distributions and the ultimate repayment of any liabilities incurred could adversely impact our ability to pay distributions in future periods, decrease our NAV, decrease the amount of cash we have available for operations and new investments and adversely impact the value of an investment in our shares.

Table of Contents

We may pay distributions from sources other than our funds from operations, or FFO. To the extent that we pay distributions from sources other than FFO, we will have reduced funds available for investment and the overall return to our stockholders may be reduced.

Our organizational documents permit us to pay distributions from any source, including net proceeds from our public offering, borrowings and the deferral of fees and expense reimbursements by our advisor, in its sole discretion. Since our inception, our FFO has not been sufficient to fund all of our distributions, and as a consequence we have funded our distributions with cash flow from operations, as supported by the expense support provided by our advisor pursuant to the expense support agreement with our advisor. Without the expense support provided by our advisor, the payment of distributions would have come from proceeds of our offering or from additional borrowings. For the year ended December 31, 2014, our distributions were not covered by our FFO. In the future, our FFO may not be sufficient to fund our distributions and we may fund all or a portion of our distributions from sources other than FFO. Until we make substantial investments, we may fund distributions from sources other than FFO. The payment of distributions from sources other than FFO may be dilutive because it may reduce the amount of proceeds available for investment and operations or cause us to incur additional interest expense as a result of additional borrowed funds.

Valuations and appraisals of our properties and real estate-related assets are estimates of fair value and may not necessarily correspond to realizable value.

For the purposes of calculating our NAV after the close of business on each business day, our properties will initially be valued at cost, which we expect to represent fair value at that time. Thereafter, valuations of properties, which will be based on appraisals of each of our properties by our independent valuation advisor and other independent third party appraisal firms at least once during every calendar quarter after the respective calendar quarter in which such property was acquired, will be performed in accordance with valuation guidelines approved by our board of directors. Likewise, our investments in real estate-related assets will initially be valued at cost, and thereafter will be valued quarterly, or in the case of liquid securities, daily, as applicable, at fair value. Quarterly valuations of each of our real properties will be performed by our independent valuation advisor, such valuations are based on asset and portfolio level information provided by our advisor, including historical operating revenues and expenses of the properties, lease agreements on the properties, revenues and expenses of the properties, information regarding recent or planned capital expenditures and any other information relevant to valuing the real estate property, which information will not be independently verified by our independent valuation advisor. In addition, on an intra-quarter basis, our advisor is responsible for monitoring our properties and real estate-related assets for events that may be expected to have a material impact on the most recent estimated values provided by our independent valuation advisor. Within the parameters of our valuation guidelines, the valuation methodologies used to value our properties will involve subjective judgments regarding such factors as comparable sales, rental and operating expense data, the capitalization or discount rate, and projections of future rent and expenses, and may not be accurate. Valuation methodologies will also involve assumptions and opinions about future events, which may or may not turn out to be correct. Valuations and appraisals of our properties and real estate-related assets will be only estimates of fair value. Ultimate realization of the value of an asset depends to a great extent on economic and other conditions beyond our control and the control of our advisor and independent valuation advisor. Further, valuations do not necessarily represent the price at which an asset would sell, since market prices of assets can only be determined by negotiation between a willing buyer and seller. Therefore, the valuations of our properties and our investments in real estate-related assets may not correspond to the timely realizable value upon a sale of those assets. There will be no retroactive adjustment in the valuation of such assets, the price of our shares of common stock, the price we paid to redeem shares of our common stock or NAV-based fees we paid to our advisor and SC Distributors, LLC, the dealer manager, to the extent such valuations prove to not accurately reflect the true estimate of value and are not a precise measure of realizable value. Because the price at which shares may be redeemed by us pursuant to our redemption plan is based on our estimated NAV per share, stockholders may receive less than realizable value for their investment.

Our NAV per share may suddenly change if the appraised values of our properties materially change from prior appraisals or the actual operating results for a particular month differ from what we originally budgeted for that month.

Table of Contents

We anticipate that our quarterly appraisals of our properties will not be spread evenly throughout the calendar quarter, but instead will be received near the end of each calendar quarter. As such, when these appraisals are reflected in our NAV calculation, there may be a sudden change in our NAV per share for each class of our common stock. In addition, actual operating results for a given month may differ from what we originally budgeted for that month, which may cause a sudden increase or decrease in the NAV per share amounts. We will accrue estimated income and expenses on a daily basis based on quarterly budgets. As soon as practicable after the end of the last business day of each month, we will adjust the income and expenses we estimated for that month to reflect the income and expenses actually earned and incurred. We will not retroactively adjust the NAV per share of each class for each day of the previous month. Therefore, because the actual results from operations may be better or worse than what we previously budgeted for a particular month, the adjustment to reflect actual operating results may cause the NAV per share for each class of our common stock to increase or decrease, and such increase or decrease will occur on the day the adjustment is made.

It may be difficult to reflect, fully and accurately, material events that may impact our daily NAV.

The calculation of our daily NAV per share, which is performed by BNY Melon under the supervision of our advisor, will be based in part on estimates of the values of each of our properties provided periodically by our independent valuation advisor and other independent third party appraisal firms in individual appraisal reports in accordance with valuation guidelines approved by our board of directors. As a result, our published NAV per share on any given day may not fully reflect any or all changes in value that may have occurred since the most recent valuation. Our advisor will review appraisal reports and monitor our properties and real estate-related assets, and is responsible for notifying the independent valuation advisor of the occurrence of any property-specific or market-driven event it believes may cause a material valuation change in the real estate valuation, but it may be difficult to reflect fully and accurately rapidly changing market conditions or material events that may impact the value of our properties and real estate-related assets or liabilities between valuations, or to obtain quickly complete information regarding any such events. For example, an unexpected termination or renewal of a material lease, a material change in vacancies or an unanticipated structural or environmental event at a property may cause the value of a property to change materially, yet obtaining sufficient relevant information after the occurrence has come to light and/or analyzing fully the financial impact of such an event may be difficult to do and may require some time. As a result, the NAV per share may not reflect a material event until such time as sufficient information is available and analyzed, and the financial impact is fully evaluated, such that our NAV may be appropriately adjusted in accordance with our valuation guidelines. Depending on the circumstance, the resulting potential disparity in our NAV may be in favor of either stockholders who redeem their shares, or stockholders who buy new shares, or existing stockholders.

NAV calculations are not governed by governmental or independent securities, financial or accounting rules or standards.

The method for calculating our NAV, including the components used in calculating our NAV, is not prescribed by rules of the SEC or any other regulatory agency. Further, there are no accounting rules or standards that prescribe which components should be used in calculating NAV, and our NAV is not audited by our independent registered public accounting firm. We calculate and publish NAV solely for purposes of establishing the daily price at which we sell and redeem shares of our common stock, and stockholders should not view our NAV as a measure of our historical or future financial condition or performance. The components and methodology used in calculating our NAV may differ from those used by other companies now or in the future.

In addition, our NAV calculations, to the extent that they incorporate valuations of our assets and liabilities, are not prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles, also known as GAAP. These valuations, which are based on market values that assume a willing buyer and seller, may differ from liquidation values that could be realized in the event that we were forced to sell assets. Stockholders should carefully review the disclosure of our valuation policies and how NAV will be calculated.

The continued recovery of real estate markets from the recent recession is dependent upon forecasted moderate economic growth, which if significantly slower than expected, could have a negative impact on the performance of our investment portfolio.

Based on expected moderate, but improved, future economic growth and historically low levels of new supply in the commercial real estate pipeline, a stronger recovery is forecast for all property sectors during the next two years. Nevertheless, economic growth remains fragile and could be slowed or halted by significant external events. A negative shock to the economy could result in reduced tenant demand, higher tenancy default and rising vacancy rates. There can be no assurance that our real estate investments will not be adversely affected by a severe slowing of the economy or renewed recession. Tenant defaults, fluctuations in interest rates, limited availability of capital and other economic conditions beyond our control could negatively affect our portfolio and decrease the value of our investments.

Uncertainty and volatility in the credit markets may make it difficult for us to find debt financing on reasonable terms for property acquisitions or to fund tenant improvements.

During the great recession, U.S. and global credit markets experienced severe dislocations and liquidity disruptions. While debt availability has increased in recent years, credit spreads continue to be dynamic, and lenders are still reluctant to offer financing at higher leverage ratios. We intend to rely on debt to finance our acquisitions of properties and future tenant improvements. Uncertainty in the credit markets may adversely impact our ability to access debt capital on reasonable terms, or at all, which may adversely affect investment returns on future acquisitions or our ability to make acquisitions or tenant improvements. Deferring necessary or desirable tenant improvements may make it more difficult for us to attract new tenants to our properties or reduce the amount of rent we can charge at such properties. A constrained debt market could cause us to use a greater proportion of our offering proceeds to finance our acquisitions and fund tenant improvements, reducing the number of acquisitions we may otherwise make and potentially adversely affecting returns on future acquisitions. We cannot be certain that we will have readily available sources of available financing in the future.

We depend on our advisor, the key personnel of our advisor and the dealer manager, and we may not be able to secure suitable replacements in the event that we fail to retain their services.

Our success is dependent upon our relationships with, and the performance of, our advisor, the key real estate professionals of our advisor and the dealer manager in the marketing and distribution of our continuous public offering, the acquisition and management of our investment portfolio and our corporate operations. Any of these parties may suffer or become distracted by adverse financial or operational problems in connection with their business and activities unrelated to us and over which we have no control. Should any of these parties fail to allocate sufficient resources to perform their responsibilities to us for any reason, we may be unable to achieve our investment objectives or to pay distributions to our stockholders. In the event that, for any reason, our advisory agreement or dealer manager agreement is terminated or our advisor is unable to retain its key personnel, it may be difficult to secure suitable replacements on acceptable terms, which would adversely impact the value of an investment in our shares.

If we internalize our management functions, the percentage of our outstanding common stock owned by our existing stockholders could be reduced, we could incur other significant costs associated with being self-managed, and any internalization could have other adverse effects on our business and financial condition.

At some point in the future, we may consider internalizing the functions performed for us by our advisor. The method by which we could internalize these functions could take many forms. We may hire our own group of executives and other employees or we may acquire a subsidiary or division of our advisor that has performed services for us pursuant to our advisory agreement, including its existing workforce. Any internalization transaction could result in significant payments to the owners of our advisor, including in the form of our stock which could reduce the percentage ownership of our then existing stockholders and concentrate ownership in the owner of our advisor. In addition, there is no assurance that internalizing our management functions will be beneficial to us and our stockholders. For example, we may not realize the perceived benefits because of the costs of being self-

Table of Contents

managed; we may not be able to properly integrate a new staff of managers and employees; or we may not be able to effectively replicate the services provided previously by our advisor or its affiliates. Internalization transactions have also, in some cases, been the subject of litigation. Even if these claims are without merit, we could be forced to spend significant amounts of money defending claims which would reduce the amount of funds available for us to invest in real estate assets or to pay distributions.

Economic events that may cause our stockholders to request that we redeem their shares may materially adversely affect our cash flow and our ability to achieve our investment objectives.

Economic events affecting the U.S. economy, such as the negative performance of the investment real estate sector, could cause our stockholders to seek to sell their shares to us pursuant to our redemption plan. The total amount of redemptions in any calendar quarter will be limited to Class A and Class B shares whose aggregate value (based on the redemption price per share on the date of the redemption) is equal to 5% of our combined NAV for both classes of shares as of the last day of the previous calendar quarter. In addition, if redemptions do not reach the 5% limit in a calendar quarter, the unused portion will be carried over to the next quarter, except that the maximum amount of redemptions during any quarter may never exceed 10% of the combined NAV for both classes of shares as of the last day of the previous calendar quarter. Even if we are able to satisfy all resulting redemption requests, our cash flow could be materially adversely affected. In addition, if we determine to sell valuable assets to satisfy redemption requests, our ability to achieve our investment objectives, including, without limitation, diversification of our portfolio by property type and location, moderate financial leverage, conservative operating risk and an attractive and reasonably stable level of current income, could be materially adversely affected.

If we are unable to raise substantial funds, we will be limited in the number and type of investments we make, and the value of an investment in us will fluctuate with the performance of the specific assets we acquire.

Our public offering is being made on a “best efforts” basis, meaning that the dealer manager is only required to use its best efforts to sell our shares and has no firm commitment or obligation to purchase any shares. As a result, the amount of proceeds we raise in the offering may be substantially less than the amount we would need to achieve a diversified portfolio of investments. If we are unable to raise substantial funds, we will make fewer investments resulting in less diversification in terms of the type, number, geography and size of investments that we make. In that case, the likelihood that any single asset’s performance would adversely affect our profitability will increase. There is a greater risk that our stockholders will lose money in their investment if we have less diversity in our portfolio. Further, we have certain fixed operating expenses, including expenses of being a public reporting company, regardless of whether we are able to raise substantial funds. Our inability to raise substantial funds would increase our fixed operating expenses as a percentage of gross income, reducing our net income and limiting our ability to make distributions.

Our portfolio may be subject to geographic or tenant risk, particularly if we are unable to raise substantial funds in our continuous public offering.

If our portfolio is not sufficiently diversified, we may be subject to geographic or tenant risk, particularly if we do not raise substantial funds in our continuous public offering. Our offering is being made on a “best efforts” basis, whereby the dealer manager is only required to use its best efforts to sell shares of our common stock and has no firm commitment or obligation to purchase any of the shares of our common stock. As a result, the amount of proceeds we raise in the offering may be less than the amount we would need to achieve a broadly diversified portfolio. If we are unable to raise substantial funds in the offering, we will make fewer investments resulting in less diversification in terms of the number of investments owned, the geographic regions in which our properties are located and the types of investments that we make. Even if we raise substantial funds, we may be unable to establish a sufficiently diversified portfolio that would eliminate geographic and tenant risk. In either case, the likelihood that any single investment’s performance would adversely affect our profitability will increase.

The success of our continuous public offering is dependent, in part, on the ability of the dealer manager and the wholesaler to retain key employees and to successfully operate and maintain a network of participating broker-dealers.

Table of Contents

Our continuous public offering is being conducted on a “best efforts” basis by the dealer manager, and Realty Capital Securities, LLC, the wholesaler, which has been engaged as the dealer manager’s distribution agent to assist with our offering. The success of our offering and our ability to implement our business strategy is dependent upon the ability of the dealer manager and the wholesaler to retain key employees and to operate and maintain a network of participating broker-dealers. If the dealer manager and the wholesaler are unable to retain qualified employees or build and maintain a sufficient network of participating broker-dealers to distribute shares in our offering, we may not be able to raise adequate proceeds through our offering to implement our investment strategy. In addition, each of the dealer manager and the wholesaler currently serves as dealer manager for other issuers. As a result, they may experience conflicts of interest in allocating their time between our offering and such other issuers, which could adversely affect our ability to raise adequate proceeds through our offering and implement our investment strategy.

American Realty Capital Properties, Inc., or ARCP, a publicly-traded real estate investment trust, recently made disclosures regarding accounting errors. These errors have led to at least one pending regulatory investigation against the wholesaler and RCS Capital Corporation, or RCAP, the parent of each of the dealer manager, wholesaler and sub-advisor, and at least one pending class-action stockholder lawsuit against RCAP. These investigations and lawsuits may impact the ability of RCAP’s subsidiaries, including the dealer manager and the wholesaler, to distribute our shares in our public offering and may result in the suspension of agreements with participating broker-dealers engaged in distributing our offering.

On October 29, 2014, ARCP announced that its financial statements and other financial communications for certain periods should no longer be relied upon after discovering that employees “intentionally made” accounting mistakes which caused ARCP to understate net losses during the first half of 2014. The SEC and the Federal Bureau of Investigation have announced that they have each opened criminal investigations into ARCP’s accounting practices, in conjunction with an investigation by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York. In addition, the Massachusetts Securities Division has announced an ongoing investigation into RCAP and the wholesaler, among others. RCAP is also the defendant in at least one class-action stockholder lawsuit.

The lawsuit against RCAP and the regulatory investigation into RCAP and the wholesaler may impact the ability of RCAP’s subsidiaries, including the dealer manager and the wholesaler, to perform their contractual obligations to us related to the distribution of our shares in our offering. If the issues described above have an adverse impact upon the operations and financial condition of RCAP, and as a consequence upon the operations and financial condition the dealer manager and the wholesaler, it could adversely affect our ability to raise adequate proceeds through our public offering and implement our investment strategy. In addition, participating broker-dealers could determine to suspend participation in our offering, which would make it more difficult for us to raise sufficient capital to meet our investment objectives and achieve a diversified portfolio.

Our advisor relies on information technology networks and systems in providing services to us, and any material failure, inadequacy, interruption or security failure of that technology could harm our business.

Our advisor relies on information technology networks and systems, including the Internet, to process, transmit and store electronic information and to manage or support a variety of our business processes, including financial transactions and maintenance of records, which may include confidential information of tenants, lease data and information regarding our stockholders. Our advisor relies on commercially available systems, software, tools and monitoring to provide security for processing, transmitting and storing confidential information. Although our advisor has taken steps to protect the security of the data maintained in its information systems, it is possible that such security measures will not be able to prevent the systems’ improper functioning, or the improper disclosure of personally identifiable information, such as in the event of cyber-attacks. Security breaches, including physical or electronic break-ins, computer viruses, attacks by hackers and similar breaches, can create system disruptions, shutdowns or unauthorized disclosure of confidential information. In addition, any breach in the data security measures employed by the third party vendors upon which we rely, such as our transfer agent and the sub-advisor, could also result in the improper disclosure of personally identifiable information. Any failure to maintain proper function, security and availability of information systems could interrupt our operations, damage our reputation, subject us to liability claims or regulatory penalties and could materially and adversely affect us.

Table of Contents

We may change our investment and operational policies without stockholder consent.

Except for changes to the investment restrictions contained in our charter, which require stockholder consent to amend, we may change our investment and operational policies, including our policies with respect to investments, operations, indebtedness, capitalization and distributions, at any time without the consent of our stockholders, which could result in our making investments that are different from, and possibly riskier or more highly leveraged than, the types of investments contemplated by our current investment policies. A change in our investment strategy may, among other things, increase our exposure to interest rate risk, default risk and real estate market fluctuations, all of which could materially affect our ability to achieve our investment objectives.

Risks Related to Conflicts of Interest

Our advisor may face a conflict of interest with respect to the allocation of investment opportunities and competition for tenants between us and other real estate programs that it advises.

Our advisor’s officers and key real estate professionals will identify potential investments in properties and other real estate-related assets which are consistent with our investment guidelines for our possible acquisition. However, our advisor may not acquire any investment in a property unless it has reviewed and approved presenting it to us in accordance with its allocation policies. Our advisor will advise other investment programs that invest in properties and real estate-related assets in which we may be interested and, therefore, could face conflicts of interest in determining which programs will have the opportunity to acquire and participate in such investments as they become available. As a result, other investment programs advised by our advisor may compete with us with respect to certain investments that we may want to acquire.

In addition, we may acquire properties in geographic areas where other investment programs advised by our advisor own properties. Therefore, our properties may compete for tenants with other properties owned by such investment programs. If one of such investment programs attracts a tenant that we are competing for, we could suffer a loss of revenue due to delays locating another suitable tenant.

Our advisor faces a conflict of interest because the fees it receives for services performed are based on our NAV, which is calculated by BNY Mellon under the supervision of our advisor.

Our advisor is paid a fee for its services based on our daily NAV, which is calculated by BNY Mellon under the supervision of our advisor in accordance with our valuation guidelines. The calculation of our NAV includes certain subjective judgments of our advisor with respect to estimating, for example, our accrued expenses, daily net portfolio income and liabilities, and therefore, our NAV may not correspond to realizable value upon a sale of those assets. Our advisor may benefit by us retaining ownership of our assets at times when our stockholders may be better served by the sale or disposition of our assets in order to avoid a reduction in our NAV. If our NAV is calculated in a way that is not reflective of our actual NAV, then the purchase price of shares of our common stock on a given date may not accurately reflect the value of our portfolio, and our shares may be worth less than their purchase price.

Our advisor’s inability to retain the services of key real estate professionals could hurt our performance.

Our success depends to a significant degree upon the contributions of certain key real estate professionals employed by our advisor, each of whom would be difficult to replace. Neither we nor our advisor have employment agreements with these individuals, and they may not remain associated with us. If any of these persons were to cease their association with us, our operating results could suffer. Our future success depends, in large part, upon our advisor’s ability to attract and retain highly skilled managerial, operational and marketing professionals. If our advisor loses or is unable to obtain the services of highly skilled professionals, our ability to implement our investment strategies could be delayed or hindered.

Table of Contents

Our executive officers, our affiliated directors and the key real estate professionals acting on behalf of our advisor face conflicts of interest related to their positions or interests in affiliates of our advisor, which could hinder our ability to implement our business strategy and to generate returns to our stockholders.

Our executive officers, our affiliated directors and the key real estate professionals acting on behalf of our advisor are also executive officers, directors, managers or key professionals of Deutsche Asset & Wealth Management’s real estate investment business. Some of these persons also serve as managers and investment advisers to other funds and institutional investors in real estate and real estate-related assets. As a result, they owe fiduciary duties to each of these entities and their investors, which fiduciary duties may from time to time conflict with the fiduciary duties that they owe to us and our stockholders, and could face conflicts of interest in allocating their time among us and such other funds, investors and activities. Their loyalties to these other entities and investors could result in action or inaction that is detrimental to our business, which could harm the implementation of our investment strategy, and could cause these individuals to allocate less of their time to us than we may require, which may adversely impact our operations.

Payment of fees and expenses to our advisor and the dealer manager will reduce the cash available for distribution and will increase the risk that stockholders will not be able to recover the amount of their investment in our shares.

Our advisor performs services for us in connection with the selection and acquisition of our investments, the management of our assets and certain administrative services. We pay our advisor advisory fees and expense reimbursements for these services, which will reduce the amount of cash available for further investments or distribution to our stockholders. We also pay the dealer manager dealer manager fees and distribution fees based on our NAV. Additionally, to the extent that we are unable to invest the proceeds of our public offering in assets that generate substantial returns to us, our payment of those fees will reduce our NAV over time. The fees we pay to our advisor and the dealer manager increase the risk that stockholders may receive a lower price when they sell their shares to us pursuant to our redemption plan than the purchase price they initially paid for their shares.

Risks Related to Our Corporate Structure

Our current stockholders' interest in us will be diluted if we issue additional shares.

Holders of our common stock will not have preemptive rights to any shares we issue in the future. Our charter authorizes us to issue up to 1,050,000,000 shares of capital stock, of which 1,000,000,000 shares are classified as common stock, of which 500,000,000 shares are classified as Class A Shares and 500,000,000 are classified as Class B shares, and 50,000,000 shares are classified as preferred stock. Our board of directors may amend our charter from time to time to increase the aggregate number of authorized shares of capital stock or the number of authorized shares of capital stock of any class or series without stockholder approval. Our board of directors may elect, without stockholder approval, to: (1) sell additional shares in our current offering or future public offerings; (2) issue equity interests in private offerings; (3) issue shares upon the exercise of the options we may grant to our independent directors or future employees; (4) issue shares to our advisor, or its successors or assigns, in payment of an outstanding obligation to pay fees for services rendered to us or to reimburse expenses paid on our behalf; or (5) issue shares to sellers of properties we acquire in connection with an exchange of limited partnership interests of our operating partnership. To the extent we issue additional shares, our current stockholders' percentage ownership interest in us will be diluted.

The limits on the percentage of shares of our common stock that any person may own may discourage a takeover or business combination that could otherwise benefit our stockholders.

Our charter, with certain exceptions, authorizes our board of directors to take such actions as are necessary and desirable to preserve our qualification as a REIT. Unless exempted by our board of directors, no person may own more than 9.8% in value of our outstanding capital stock or more than 9.8% in value or number of shares, whichever is more restrictive, of our outstanding common stock. A person that did not acquire more than 9.8% of our shares may become subject to our charter restrictions if redemptions by other stockholders cause such person’s holdings to

Table of Contents

exceed 9.8% of our outstanding shares. Our 9.8% ownership limitation may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of us, including an extraordinary transaction (such as a merger, tender offer or sale of all or substantially all of our assets) that might provide a premium price for our stockholders.

Our charter permits our board of directors to issue stock with terms that may subordinate the rights of the holders of our common stock or discourage a third party from acquiring us in a manner that could result in a premium price to our stockholders.

Our board of directors may classify or reclassify any unissued common stock or preferred stock into other classes or series of stock and establish the preferences, conversion or other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends and other distributions, qualifications and terms or conditions of redemption of any such stock without stockholder approval. Thus, our board of directors could authorize the issuance of preferred stock with terms and conditions that could have priority as to distributions and amounts payable upon liquidation over the rights of the holders of our common stock. Such preferred stock could also have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of us, including an extraordinary transaction (such as a merger, tender offer or sale of all or substantially all of our assets) that might otherwise provide a premium price to holders of our common stock.

Maryland law and our organizational documents limit our rights and the rights of our stockholders to recover claims against our directors and officers, which could reduce our stockholders' and our recovery against them if they cause us to incur losses.

Maryland law provides that a director will not have any liability as a director so long as he or she performs his or her duties in accordance with the applicable standard of conduct. In addition, Maryland law and our charter provide that no director or officer shall be liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages unless the director or officer (1) actually received an improper benefit or profit in money, property or services or (2) was actively and deliberately dishonest as established by a final judgment as material to the cause of action. Moreover, our charter generally requires us to indemnify and advance expenses to our directors and officers for losses they may incur by reason of their service in those capacities unless their act or omission was material to the matter giving rise to the proceeding and was committed in bad faith or was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty, they actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services or, in the case of any criminal proceeding, they had reasonable cause to believe the act or omission was unlawful. Further, we have entered into separate indemnification agreements with each of our officers and directors. As a result, we and our stockholders may have more limited rights against our directors or officers than might otherwise exist under common law, which could reduce our recovery and our stockholders' recovery from these persons if they act in a manner that causes us to incur losses. In addition, we are obligated to fund the defense costs incurred by these persons in some cases. However, our charter provides that we may not indemnify our directors, or our advisor and its affiliates, for any liability or loss suffered by them or hold our directors, our advisor and its affiliates harmless for any liability or loss suffered by us, unless they have determined that the course of conduct that caused the loss or liability was in our best interests, they were acting on our behalf or performing services for us, the liability or loss was not the result of negligence or misconduct by our non-independent directors, our advisor and its affiliates, or gross negligence or willful misconduct by our independent directors and the indemnification or agreement to hold harmless is recoverable only out of our net assets or the proceeds of insurance and not from the stockholders.

Certain provisions of Maryland law could inhibit transactions or changes of control under circumstances that could otherwise provide stockholders with the opportunity to realize a premium.

Certain provisions of the Maryland General Corporation Law applicable to us prohibit business combinations with: (1) any person who beneficially owns 10% or more of the voting power of our outstanding voting stock, which we refer to as an “interested stockholder;” (2) an affiliate or associate of ours who, at any time within the two-year period prior to the date in question, was the beneficial owner of 10% or more of the voting power of our then outstanding stock, which we also refer to as an “interested stockholder;” or (3) an affiliate of an interested stockholder. These prohibitions last for five years after the most recent date on which the interested stockholder became an interested stockholder. Thereafter, any business combination with the interested stockholder or an affiliate of the interested stockholder must be recommended by our board of directors and approved by the

Table of Contents

affirmative vote of at least 80% of the votes entitled to be cast by holders of our outstanding voting stock, and two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast by holders of our voting stock other than shares held by the interested stockholder or its affiliate with whom the business combination is to be effected or held by an affiliate or associate of the interested stockholder. These requirements could have the effect of inhibiting a change in control even if a change in control were in our stockholders’ best interest. These provisions of Maryland law do not apply, however, to business combinations that are approved or exempted by our board of directors prior to the time that someone becomes an interested stockholder. Pursuant to the business combination statute, our board of directors has exempted any business combination involving us and any person, provided that such business combination is first approved by a majority of our board of directors, including a majority of our independent directors.

Our UPREIT structure may result in potential conflicts of interest with limited partners in our operating partnership whose interests may not be aligned with those of our stockholders.

Our directors and officers have duties to our corporation and our stockholders under Maryland law and our charter in connection with their management of the corporation. At the same time, we, as general partner, will have fiduciary duties under Delaware law to our operating partnership and to the limited partners in connection with the management of our operating partnership. Our duties as general partner of our operating partnership and its partners may come into conflict with the duties of our directors and officers to our corporation and our stockholders. Under Delaware law, a general partner of a Delaware limited partnership owes its limited partners the duties of good faith and fair dealing. Other duties, including fiduciary duties, may be modified or eliminated in the partnership’s partnership agreement. The partnership agreement of our operating partnership provides that, for so long as we own a controlling interest in our operating partnership, any conflict that cannot be resolved in a manner not adverse to either our stockholders or the limited partners will be resolved in favor of our stockholders.

Additionally, the partnership agreement expressly limits our liability by providing that we will not be liable or accountable to our operating partnership for losses sustained, liabilities incurred or benefits not derived if we acted in good faith. In addition, our operating partnership is required to indemnify us and our officers, directors, employees, agents and designees to the extent permitted by applicable law from and against any and all claims arising from operations of our operating partnership, unless it is established that: (1) the act or omission was material to the matter giving rise to the proceeding and either was committed in bad faith or was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty; (2) the indemnified party received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services; or (3) in the case of a criminal proceeding, the indemnified person had reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission was unlawful.

The provisions of Delaware law that allow the fiduciary duties of a general partner to be modified by a partnership agreement have not been tested in a court of law, and we have not obtained an opinion of counsel covering the provisions set forth in the partnership agreement that purport to waive or restrict our fiduciary duties.

The return on an investment in our shares may be reduced if we are required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act.

We intend to conduct our operations so that neither we, nor our operating partnership nor the subsidiaries of our operating partnership are investment companies under the Investment Company Act. Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act defines an investment company as any issuer that is or holds itself out as being engaged primarily in the business of investing, reinvesting or trading in securities. Section 3(a)(1)(C) of the Investment Company Act defines an investment company as any issuer that is engaged or proposes to engage in the business of investing, reinvesting, owning, holding or trading in securities and owns or proposes to acquire investment securities having a value exceeding 40% of the value of the issuer’s total assets (exclusive of U.S. government securities and cash items) on an unconsolidated basis. Excluded from the term “investment securities,” among other things, are U.S. government securities and securities issued by majority-owned subsidiaries that are not themselves investment companies and are not relying on the exception from the definition of investment company set forth in Section 3(c)(1) or Section 3(c)(7) of the Investment Company Act.

Rule 3a-1 under the Investment Company Act generally provides that, notwithstanding Section 3(a)(1)(C) of the Investment Company Act, an issuer will not be deemed to be an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act provided that (1) it does not hold itself out as being engaged primarily, or proposes to engage primarily, in the business of investing, reinvesting or trading in securities, and (2) on an unconsolidated basis except as otherwise provided, no more than 45% of the value of its total assets, consolidated with the assets of any wholly owned subsidiary (exclusive of U.S. government securities and cash items), consists of, and no more than 45% of its net income after taxes, consolidated with the net income of any wholly owned subsidiary (for the last four fiscal quarters combined) is derived from, securities other than U.S. government securities, securities issued by employees’ securities companies, securities issued by certain majority owned subsidiaries of such company and securities issued by certain companies that are controlled primarily by such company. In addition, we believe neither we nor our operating partnership will be considered an investment company under Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act because neither we nor our operating partnership will engage primarily or hold ourselves out as being engaged primarily in the business of investing, reinvesting or trading in securities. Rather, through our operating partnership’s wholly owned or majority-owned subsidiaries, we and our operating partnership will be primarily engaged in the non-investment company businesses of these subsidiaries, namely the business of purchasing or otherwise acquiring real property, mortgages and other interests in real estate.

A change in the value of any of our assets could cause us, our operating partnership or one or more of its subsidiaries to fall within the definition of “investment company” and negatively affect our ability to maintain our exception from regulation under the Investment Company Act. To maintain compliance with this exception from the definition of investment company under the Investment Company Act, we may be unable to sell assets we would otherwise want to sell and may be unable to purchase securities we would otherwise want to purchase. In addition, we may have to acquire additional income- or loss-generating assets that we might not otherwise have acquired or may have to forgo opportunities to acquire interests in companies that we would otherwise want to acquire and would be important to our investment strategy.

Our advisor will continually review our investment activity to attempt to ensure that we will not be regulated as an investment company.

We believe that we, our operating partnership and the subsidiaries of our operating partnership will satisfy the exclusion in Rule 3a-1 under the Investment Company Act. However, if we were obligated to register as an investment company, we would have to comply with a variety of substantive requirements under the Investment Company Act that impose, among other things:


•	limitations on capital structure;


•	restrictions on specified investments;


•	restrictions or prohibitions on retaining earnings;


•	restrictions on leverage or senior securities;


•	restrictions on unsecured borrowings;


•	requirements that our income be derived from certain types of assets;


•	prohibitions on transactions with affiliates; and


•	compliance with reporting, record keeping, voting, proxy disclosure and other rules and regulations that would significantly increase our operating expenses.

If we were required to register as an investment company but failed to do so, we would be prohibited from engaging in our business, and criminal and civil actions could be brought against us. In addition, our contracts would be unenforceable unless a court required enforcement, and a court could appoint a receiver to take control of us and liquidate our business.

Registration with the SEC as an investment company would be costly, would subject our company to a host of complex regulations, and would divert the attention of management from the conduct of our business. In addition, the purchase of real estate that does not fit our investment guidelines and the purchase or sale of investment securities or other assets to preserve our status as a company not required to register as an investment company

Table of Contents

could materially adversely affect our NAV, the amount of funds available for investment and our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders.

Rapid changes in the values of potential investments in real estate-related investments may make it more difficult for us to maintain our qualification as a REIT or our exception from the Investment Company Act.

If the market value or income potential of our real estate-related investments declines, including as a result of increased interest rates, prepayment rates or other factors, we may need to increase our real estate investments and income or liquidate our non-qualifying assets in order to maintain our REIT qualification or our exception from registration under the Investment Company Act. If the decline in real estate asset values or income occurs quickly, this may be especially difficult to accomplish. This difficulty may be exacerbated by the illiquid nature of any non-real estate assets that we may own. We may have to make investment decisions that we otherwise would not make absent REIT and Investment Company Act considerations.

General Risks Related to Investments in Real Estate

Our operating results will be affected by economic and regulatory changes that impact the real estate market in general.

We are subject to risks generally attributable to the ownership of real property, including:


•	changes in global, national, regional or local economic, demographic or capital market conditions, such as the recent decline in the price of oil;


•	future adverse national real estate trends, including increasing vacancy rates, declining rental rates and general deterioration of market conditions;


•	changes in supply of or demand for similar properties in a given market or metropolitan area which could result in rising vacancy rates or decreasing market rental rates;


•	vacancies or inability to lease space on favorable terms;


•	increased competition for properties targeted by our investment strategy;


•	bankruptcies, financial difficulties or lease defaults by our tenants;


•	increases in interest rates and availability of financing; and


•	changes in government rules, regulations and fiscal policies, including increases in property taxes, changes in zoning laws, and increasing costs to comply with environmental laws.

All of these factors are beyond our control. Any negative changes in these factors could affect our ability to meet our obligations and make distributions to stockholders.

Adverse economic conditions in the regions and metropolitan markets where our assets are located may adversely affect our ability to lease our properties and our ability to increase lease prices.

In addition to our properties being subject to national economic real estate trends, our properties will also be subject to potential adverse conditions in the regions and metropolitan areas where our properties are located, which may reduce our ability to lease our properties, restrict our ability to increase lease prices and force us to lower lease prices or offer tenant incentives. As a result, adverse regional or city specific events or trends that occur may impact certain of our properties without impacting our entire portfolio, which could decrease our overall performance.

We may have difficulty selling our properties, which may limit our flexibility and ability to pay distributions.

Because real estate investments are relatively illiquid, it could be difficult for us to promptly sell one or more of our properties on favorable terms. This may limit our ability to change our portfolio quickly in response to adverse changes in the performance of any such property or economic or market trends. In addition, federal tax laws that impose a 100% excise tax on gains from sales of dealer property by a REIT (generally, property held for sale, rather than investment) could limit our ability to sell properties and may affect our ability to sell properties without

Table of Contents

adversely affecting returns to our stockholders. These restrictions could adversely affect our ability to achieve our investment objectives.

We face risks associated with property acquisitions.

We intend to acquire properties and portfolios of properties, including large portfolios that could result in changes to our capital structure. Our acquisition activities and their success are subject to the following risks:


•	we may be unable to complete an acquisition after making a non-refundable deposit and incurring certain other acquisition-related costs;


•	we may be unable to obtain financing for acquisitions on commercially reasonable terms or at all;


•	acquired properties may fail to perform as expected;


•	the actual costs of repositioning or redeveloping acquired properties may be greater than our estimates;


•	acquired properties may be located in new markets in which we may face risks associated with a lack of market knowledge or understanding of the local economy, lack of business relationships in the area and unfamiliarity with local governmental and permitting procedures; and


•	we may be unable to quickly and efficiently integrate new acquisitions, particularly acquisitions of portfolios of properties, into our existing operations.

Competition in acquiring properties may reduce our profitability and the return on an investment in our shares.

We face competition from various entities for investment opportunities in properties, including other REITs, pension funds, insurance companies, investment funds and companies, partnerships and developers. Many of these entities may have greater access to capital to acquire properties than we have. Competition from these entities may reduce the number of suitable investment opportunities offered to us or increase the bargaining power of property owners seeking to sell. In addition, as the economy has recovered, the number of entities and the amount of funds competing for suitable investments has increased. In addition to third-party competitors, other programs sponsored by our advisor have raised additional capital and are seeking investment opportunities under our sponsor’s allocation policy. If we acquire properties and other investments at higher prices or by using less-than-ideal capital structures, our returns will be lower and the value of our assets may not appreciate or may decrease significantly below the amount we paid for such assets. If such events occur, our stockholders may experience a lower return on their investment.

Properties that incur vacancies could be difficult and costly to sell or re-lease.

A property may incur a vacancy either by the continued default of a tenant under its lease or the expiration of one of our leases. In addition, certain of the properties we acquire may have some level of vacancy at the time of acquisition. Certain other properties may be specifically suited to the particular needs of a tenant and may become vacant after we acquire them. Therefore, we may have difficulty obtaining a new tenant for any vacant space we have in our properties, and substantial expenditures may be necessary to customize the property to fit the needs of a successor tenant or prepare the property for sale. If the vacancy continues for a long period of time, we may suffer reduced revenues resulting in lower cash distributions to stockholders. In addition, the resale value of the property could be diminished because the market value may depend principally upon the value of the property’s leases.

Potential losses or damage to our properties may not be covered by insurance.

We carry comprehensive liability, fire, extended coverage, business interruption and rental loss insurance covering all of the properties in our portfolio under a blanket policy, and plan to do so for any new properties added to the portfolio. Our advisor will select policy specifications and insured limits, which it believes to be appropriate and adequate given the relative risk of loss, the cost of the coverage and industry practice. Insurance policies on our properties may include some coverage for losses that are generally catastrophic in nature, such as losses due to terrorism, earthquakes and floods, but we cannot assure stockholders that it will be adequate to cover all losses and some of our policies will be insured subject to limitations involving large deductibles or co-payments and policy limits which may not be sufficient to cover losses. If we or one or more of our tenants experience a loss which is

Table of Contents

uninsured or which exceeds policy limits, we could lose the capital invested in the damaged properties as well as the anticipated future cash flows from those properties. In addition, if the damaged properties are subject to recourse indebtedness, we would continue to be liable for the indebtedness, even if these properties were irreparably damaged.

Our properties face significant competition.

We face significant competition from owners, operators and developers of properties. Substantially all of our properties will face competition from similar properties in the same market. This competition may affect our ability to attract and retain tenants and may reduce the rents we are able to charge. These competing properties may have vacancy rates higher than our properties, which may result in their owners being willing to lease available space at lower prices than the space in our properties. If one of our properties were to lose an anchor tenant, this could impact the leases of other tenants, who may be able to modify or terminate their leases as a result. Due to such competition, the terms and conditions of any lease that we enter into with our tenants may vary substantially.

Our properties may be leased at below-market rates under long-term leases.

We will seek to negotiate longer-term leases to reduce the cash flow volatility associated with lease rollovers, provided that contractual rent increases are included. In addition, where appropriate, we will seek leases that provide for operating expenses, or expense increases, to be paid by the tenants. These leases may allow tenants to renew the lease with pre-defined rate increases. If we do not accurately judge the potential for increases in market rental rates, we may set the rental rates of these long-term leases at levels such that even after contractual rental increases, the resulting rental rates are less than then-current market rental rates. Further, we may be unable to terminate those leases or adjust the rent to then-prevailing market rates. As a result, our income and distributions to our stockholders could be lower than if we did not enter into long-term leases.

Our retail tenants will face competition from numerous retail channels.

Retailers leasing our properties will face continued competition from discount or value retailers, factory outlet centers, wholesale clubs, mail order catalogues and operators, television shopping networks and shopping via the Internet. Such competition could adversely affect our tenants and, consequently, our revenues and funds available for distribution.

Our industrial tenants may be adversely affected by a decline in manufacturing activity in the United States.

Fluctuations in manufacturing activity in the United States may adversely affect our industrial tenants and therefore the demand for and profitability of our industrial properties. Trade agreements with foreign countries have given employers the option to utilize less expensive foreign manufacturing workers. Outsourcing manufacturing activities could reduce the demand for U.S. workers, thereby reducing the profitability of our industrial tenants and the demand for and profitability of our industrial properties.

If we purchase assets at a time when the multifamily residential real estate market is experiencing substantial influxes of capital investment and competition for properties, the real estate we purchase may not appreciate or may decrease in value.

The multifamily residential real estate market has experienced substantial influxes of capital from investors. This substantial flow of capital, combined with significant competition for real estate, may result in inflated purchase prices for such assets. To the extent we purchase real estate in such an environment, we are subject to the risk that, if the real estate market subsequently ceases to attract the same level of capital investment, or if the number of companies seeking to acquire such assets decreases, our returns will be lower and the value of our assets may not appreciate or may decrease significantly below the amount we paid for such assets.

In the event we obtain options to acquire properties, we may lose the amount paid for such options whether or not the underlying property is purchased.

Table of Contents

We may obtain options to acquire certain properties. The amount paid for an option, if any, is normally surrendered if the property is not purchased and may or may not be credited against the purchase price if the property is purchased. Any unreturned option payments will reduce the amount of cash available for further investments or distributions to our stockholders.

Joint venture investments could be adversely affected by our lack of sole decision-making authority, our reliance on the financial condition of co-venturers and disputes between us and our co-venturers.

Costs of complying with governmental laws and regulations may reduce our net income and the cash available for distributions to our stockholders.

Real estate and the operations conducted on properties are subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to environmental protection and human health and safety. We could be subject to liability in the form of fines or damages for noncompliance with these laws and regulations. These laws and regulations generally govern wastewater discharges; air emissions; the operation and removal of underground and above-ground storage tanks; the use, storage, treatment, transportation and disposal of solid hazardous materials; the remediation of contaminated property associated with the disposal of solid and hazardous materials; and other health and safety-related concerns.

Our properties may be subject to the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, as amended, or the ADA. Under the ADA, all places of public accommodation must meet federal requirements related to access and use by persons with disabilities. The ADA’s requirements could require removal of access barriers and could result in the imposition of injunctive relief, monetary penalties or, in some cases, an award of damages. Additional or new federal, state and local laws also may require modifications to our properties, or restrict our ability to renovate properties. We will attempt to acquire properties that comply with the ADA and other similar legislation or place the burden on the seller or other third party, such as a tenant, to ensure compliance with such legislation. However, we cannot assure investors in our common stock that we will be able to acquire properties or allocate responsibilities in this manner. If we cannot, or if changes to the ADA mandate further changes to our properties, then our funds used for ADA compliance may reduce cash available for distributions and the amount of distributions to our stockholders.

We could become subject to liability for environmental contamination, regardless of whether we caused such contamination.

We could become subject to liability in the form of fines or damages for noncompliance with environmental laws and regulations. These laws and regulations generally govern wastewater discharges; air emissions; the operation and removal of underground and above-ground storage tanks; the use, storage, treatment, transportation and disposal of solid hazardous materials; the remediation of contaminated property associated with the disposal of solid and hazardous materials; and other health and safety-related concerns. Some of these laws and regulations may impose joint and several liability on tenants, owners or managers for the costs of investigation or remediation of contaminated properties, regardless of fault or the legality of the original disposal. Under various federal, state and

Table of Contents

local environmental laws, ordinances and regulations, a current or former owner or manager of real property may be liable for the cost to remove or remediate hazardous or toxic substances, wastes, or petroleum products on, under, from, or in such property. These costs could be substantial and liability under these laws may attach whether or not the owner or manager knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of such contamination. Even if more than one person may have been responsible for the contamination, each liable party may be held entirely responsible for all of the clean-up costs incurred.

In addition, third parties may sue the owner or manager of a property for damages based on personal injury, natural resources or property damage and/or for other costs, including investigation and clean-up costs, resulting from the environmental contamination. The presence of contamination on one of our properties or the failure to properly remediate a contaminated property could give rise to a lien in favor of the government for costs it may incur to address the contamination or otherwise adversely affect our ability to sell or lease the property or borrow using the property as collateral. In addition, if contamination is discovered on our properties, environmental laws may impose restrictions on the manner in which the property may be used or businesses may be operated, and these restrictions may require substantial expenditures or prevent us from entering into leases with prospective tenants. There can be no assurance that future laws, ordinances or regulations will not impose any material environmental liability or that the current environmental condition of our properties will not be affected by the operations of the tenants, by the existing condition of the land or by operations in the vicinity of the properties. There can be no assurance that these laws, or changes in these laws, will not have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

We will rely on third-party property managers to operate our properties and leasing agents to lease vacancies in our properties.

Our advisor intends to hire third-party property managers to manage our properties and third-party leasing agents to lease vacancies in our properties. The third-party property managers will have significant decision-making authority with respect to the management of our properties. Our ability to direct and control how our properties are managed on a day-to-day basis may be limited because we will engage third parties to perform this function. Thus, the success of our business may depend in large part on the ability of our third-party property managers to manage the day-to-day operations and the ability of our leasing agents to lease vacancies in our properties. Any adversity experienced by our property managers or leasing agents could adversely impact the operation and profitability of our properties.

General Risks Related to Investments in Real Estate-Related Assets

The real estate equity securities in which we may invest are subject to specific risks relating to the particular issuer of the securities and may be subject to the general risks of investing in real estate securities.

We may invest in common and preferred stock of both publicly traded and private real estate companies, which involves a higher degree of risk than debt securities due to a variety of factors, including that such investments are subordinate to creditors and are not secured by the issuer’s properties. Our investments in real estate equity securities will involve special risks relating to the particular issuer of the equity securities, including the financial condition and business outlook of the issuer. Issuers of real estate common equity securities generally invest in real estate or real estate-related assets and are subject to the inherent risks associated with real estate discussed herein, including risks relating to rising interest rates.

The value of the real estate securities that we may invest in may be volatile.

The value of real estate securities, including those of publicly traded REITs, fluctuates in response to issuer, political, market and economic developments. In the short term, equity prices can fluctuate dramatically in response to these developments. Different parts of the market and different types of equity securities can react differently to these developments and they can affect a single issuer, multiple issuers within an industry, the economic sector or geographic region, or the market as a whole. The real estate industry is sensitive to economic downturns. The value of securities of companies engaged in real estate activities can be affected by changes in real estate values and rental

Table of Contents

income, property taxes, interest rates and tax and regulatory requirements. In addition, the value of a publicly traded REIT’s equity securities can depend on the capital structure and amount of cash flow generated by the REIT.

Our investments in real estate-related assets will be subject to the risks related to the underlying real estate.

Real estate loans secured by properties are subject to the risks related to underlying real estate. The ability of a borrower to repay a loan secured by a property typically is dependent upon the successful operation of such property rather than upon the existence of independent income or assets of the borrower. If the net operating income of the property is reduced, the borrower’s ability to repay the loan may be impaired. Any default on the loan could result in our acquiring ownership of the property, and we would bear a risk of loss of principal to the extent of any deficiency between the value of the collateral and the principal and accrued interest of the mortgage loan. In addition, foreclosure of a mortgage loan can be an expensive and lengthy process that could have a substantial negative effect on our anticipated return on the foreclosed loan.

We will not know whether the values of the properties ultimately securing our loans will remain at the levels existing on the dates of origination of those loans. If the values of the underlying properties decline, our risk will increase because of the lower value of the security associated with such loans. In this manner, real estate values could impact the values of our loan investments. Our investments in mortgage-backed securities, collateralized debt obligations and other real estate-related investments may be similarly affected by property values.

The mezzanine loans in which we may invest would involve greater risks of loss than senior loans secured by income-producing real properties, which may result in losses to us.

We may invest in mezzanine loans that take the form of subordinated loans secured by second mortgages on the underlying real property or loans secured by a pledge of the ownership interests of either the entity owning the real property or the entity that owns the interest in the entity owning the real property. These types of investments involve a higher degree of risk than first-lien mortgage loans secured by income producing real property because the investment may become unsecured as a result of foreclosure by the senior lender. In the event of a bankruptcy of the entity providing the pledge of its ownership interests as security, we may not have full recourse to the assets of such entity, or the assets of the entity may not be sufficient to satisfy our mezzanine loan. If a borrower defaults on debt senior to our loan, or in the event of a borrower bankruptcy, our mezzanine loan may be satisfied only after the senior debt. As a result, we may not recover some or all of our investment. In addition, mezzanine loans may have higher loan-to-value ratios than conventional mortgage loans, resulting in less equity in the real property and increasing the risk of loss of principal.

Commercial mortgage-backed securities, or CMBS, in which we may invest, are subject to several types of risks that may adversely impact our performance.

CMBS are bonds that evidence interests in, or are secured by, a single commercial mortgage loan or a pool of commercial mortgage loans. Accordingly, the mortgage-backed securities in which we may invest are subject to all the risks of the underlying mortgage loans, including the risks of prepayment or default.

In a rising interest rate environment, the value of CMBS may be adversely affected when repayments on underlying mortgage loans do not occur as anticipated, resulting in the extension of the security’s effective maturity and the related increase in interest rate sensitivity of a longer-term instrument. The prices of lower credit quality securities are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than more highly rated assets but more sensitive to adverse economic downturns or individual issuer developments. A projection of an economic downturn, for example, could cause a decline in the price of lower credit quality securities because the ability of obligors of mortgages underlying CMBS to make principal and interest payments or to refinance may be impaired. In this case, existing credit support in the securitization structure may be insufficient to protect us against loss of our principal on these securities. The value of CMBS also may change due to shifts in the market’s perception of issuers and regulatory or tax changes adversely affecting the mortgage securities markets as a whole. In addition, CMBS are subject to the credit risk associated with the performance of the underlying mortgage properties.

Table of Contents

We may also invest in “non-investment grade” CMBS which have a higher risk of default than investment grade loans. Non-investment grade ratings for these loans typically result from the overall leverage of the loans, the lack of a strong operating history for the properties underlying the loans, the borrowers’ credit history, the properties’ underlying cash flow or other factors. If the borrowers in the underlying loans are unable to repay their loans at maturity, our revenues will decrease. If negative economic trends impact the real estate market, borrowers underlying CMBS may have difficulty repaying the principal of their loans at maturity.

We expect a portion of our portfolio of real estate-related assets to be illiquid, and we may not be able to adjust our portfolio in response to changes in economic and other conditions.

We may purchase real estate securities in connection with privately negotiated transactions that are not registered under the relevant securities laws, resulting in a prohibition against their transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition except in a transaction that is exempt from the registration requirements of, or is otherwise in accordance with, those laws. As a result, our ability to vary our portfolio in response to changes in economic and other conditions may be relatively limited. The mezzanine and bridge loans we may purchase will be particularly illiquid investments due to their short life, their unsuitability for securitization and the greater risk of our inability to recover loaned amounts in the event of a borrower’s default.

Interest rate and related risks may cause the value of our real estate-related assets to be reduced.

We will be subject to interest rate risk with respect to our investments in fixed income securities such as preferred equity and debt securities, and to a lesser extent dividend paying common stocks. Interest rate risk is the risk that these types of securities will decline in value because of changes in market interest rates. Generally, when market interest rates rise, the fair value of such securities will decline, and vice versa. Our investment in such securities means that our NAV may decline if market interest rates rise.

During periods of rising interest rates, the average life of certain types of securities may be extended because of slower than expected principal payments. This may lock in a below-market interest rate, increase the security’s duration and reduce the value of the security. This is known as extension risk. During periods of declining interest rates, an issuer may be able to exercise an option to prepay principal earlier than scheduled, which is generally known as call risk or prepayment risk. If this occurs, we may be forced to reinvest in lower yielding securities. This is known as reinvestment risk. Preferred equity and debt securities frequently have call features that allow the issuer to redeem the security prior to its stated maturity. An issuer may redeem an obligation if the issuer can refinance the debt at a lower cost due to declining interest rates or an improvement in the credit standing of the issuer. These risks may reduce the value of our securities investments.

If we liquidate prior to the maturity of our real estate-related assets, we may be forced to sell those investments on unfavorable terms or at a loss, if at all.

Our board of directors may choose to liquidate our assets, including our real estate-related assets. If we liquidate those investments prior to their maturity, we may be forced to sell those investments on unfavorable terms or at a loss. For instance, if we are required to liquidate mortgage loans at a time when prevailing interest rates are higher than the interest rates of such mortgage loans, we likely would sell such loans at a discount to their stated principal values. Furthermore, we could face a situation in which lack of available capital in the markets puts downward pressure on prices or prevents us from selling assets our board of directors has chosen to liquidate.

Risks Related to Debt Financing

We will incur mortgage indebtedness and other borrowings, which may increase our business risks, could hinder our ability to make distributions and could decrease the value of an investment in our shares.

We intend to finance a portion of the purchase price of properties by borrowing funds. Under our charter, we have a limitation on borrowing which precludes us from borrowing in excess of 300% of the value of our net assets. We may obtain mortgage loans and pledge some or all of our properties as security for these loans to obtain funds to

Table of Contents

acquire additional properties or for working capital. We may also utilize a line of credit, such as the Wells Fargo line of credit that we entered into on March 6, 2015 and is described in Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation," to provide a flexible borrowing source that will allow us to fund redemptions, to pay distributions or to use for other business purposes.

If there is a shortfall between the cash flow from a property and the cash flow needed to service mortgage loans on that property, then the amount of cash available for distributions to stockholders may be reduced. In addition, incurring mortgage debt increases the risk of loss of a property since defaults on indebtedness secured by a property may result in lenders initiating foreclosure actions. In that case, we could lose the property securing the loan that is in default, thus reducing the value of an investment in our shares. For tax purposes, a foreclosure on any of our properties will be treated as a sale of the property for a purchase price equal to the outstanding balance of the debt secured by the mortgage. If the outstanding balance of the loan secured by the mortgage exceeds our tax basis in the property, we will recognize taxable income on foreclosure, but we would not receive any cash proceeds. We may give full or partial guarantees to lenders of mortgage loans to the entities that own our properties. When we give a guaranty on behalf of an entity that owns one of our properties, we will be responsible to the lender for satisfaction of the loan if it is not paid by such entity. If any mortgage contains cross-collateralization or cross-default provisions, a default on a single property could affect multiple properties. If any of our properties are foreclosed upon due to a default, our ability to pay cash distributions to our stockholders will be adversely affected.

If we draw on a line of credit to fund redemptions or for any other reason, our financial leverage ratio could increase beyond our target.

We may utilize a line of credit, such as the Wells Fargo line of credit, in an effort to provide for a ready source of liquidity for any business purpose, including to fund redemptions of shares of our common stock in the event that redemption requests exceed the net proceeds from our continuous offering. If we borrow under a line of credit to fund redemptions of shares of our common stock, our financial leverage will increase and may exceed our target leverage ratio. Our leverage may remain at the higher level until we receive additional net proceeds from our continuous offering or sell some of our assets to repay outstanding indebtedness.

Increases in interest rates could increase the amount of our loan payments and adversely affect our ability to make distributions to our stockholders.

Interest we pay on our loan obligations will reduce cash available for distributions. If we obtain variable rate loans, increases in interest rates would increase our interest costs, which would reduce our cash flows and our ability to make distributions to our stockholders. In addition, if we need to repay existing loans during periods of rising interest rates, we could be required to liquidate one or more of our investments at times which may not permit realization of the maximum return on such investments.

Lenders may require us to enter into restrictive covenants relating to our operations or mandatory commitment reductions, which could reduce our available financing and limit our ability to make distributions.

When providing financing, a lender may impose restrictions on us that affect our distribution and operating policies and our ability to obtain additional loans. For example, loan documents we enter into may contain covenants that limit our ability to further mortgage the property or discontinue insurance coverage. Loan documents may limit our ability to enter into or terminate certain operating or lease agreements related to the property. In addition, revolving credit facilities may contain mandatory commitment reductions triggered by events that may be outside of our control. If we are unable to obtain new financing on favorable terms, our sources of liquidity would be restricted. These or other terms or limitations may adversely affect our flexibility, our ability to fund additional property acquisitions, redemptions and distributions and our ability to achieve our investment objectives.

If we enter into financing arrangements involving balloon payment obligations, it may adversely affect our ability to make distributions to our stockholders.

Table of Contents

Some of our financing arrangements may require us to make a lump-sum or “balloon” payment at maturity. Our ability to make a balloon payment is uncertain and may depend upon our ability to obtain replacement financing or our ability to sell particular properties. At the time the balloon payment is due, we may or may not be able to refinance the balloon payment on terms as favorable as the original loan or sell the particular property at a price sufficient to make the balloon payment. The effect of a refinancing or sale could affect the rate of return to stockholders and the projected time of disposition of our assets.

Failure to hedge effectively against interest rate changes may materially adversely affect our ability to achieve our investment objectives.

Subject to any limitations required to maintain qualification as a REIT, we may seek to manage our exposure to interest rate volatility by using interest rate hedging arrangements, such as interest rate cap or collar agreements and interest rate swap agreements. These agreements involve risks, such as the risk that counterparties may fail to honor their obligations under these arrangements and that these arrangements may not be effective in reducing our exposure to interest rate changes. These interest rate hedging arrangements may create additional assets or liabilities from time to time that may be held or liquidated separately from the underlying property or loan for which they were originally established. We have adopted a policy relating to the use of derivative financial instruments to hedge interest rate risks related to our variable rate borrowings. Hedging may reduce the overall returns on our investments. Failure to hedge effectively against interest rate changes may materially adversely affect our ability to achieve our investment objectives.

Federal Income Tax Risks

Failure to qualify as a REIT would have significant adverse consequences to us.

We are organized and operated in a manner intended to qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes. We first elected REIT status for our taxable year that ended December 31, 2013. Our qualification as a REIT will depend upon our ability to meet on an on-going basis requirements regarding our organization and ownership, distributions of our income, the nature and diversification of our income and assets and other tests imposed by the Internal Revenue Code, or the Code. Our legal counsel does not review our compliance with the REIT qualification standards on an ongoing basis, and we may fail to satisfy the REIT requirements. Future legislative, judicial or administrative changes to the federal income tax laws could be applied retroactively, which could result in our disqualification as a REIT. If the IRS determines that we do not qualify as a REIT or if we qualify as a REIT and subsequently lose our REIT qualification, we will be subject to serious tax consequences that would cause a significant reduction in our cash available for distribution for each of the years involved because:


•	we would be subject to federal corporate income taxation on our taxable income, potentially including alternative minimum tax, and could be subject to higher state and local taxes;


•	we would not be permitted to take a deduction for dividends paid to stockholders in computing our taxable income; and


•	we could not elect to be taxed as a REIT for four taxable years following the year during which we failed to qualify (unless we are entitled to relief under applicable statutory provisions).

The increased taxes would cause a reduction in our NAV and cash available for distribution to stockholders. In addition, if we do not qualify as a REIT, we will not be required to make distributions to stockholders. As a result of all these factors, our failure to qualify as a REIT also could hinder our ability to raise capital and grow our business.

To maintain our REIT status, we may have to borrow funds on a short-term basis during unfavorable market conditions.

To qualify as a REIT, we generally must distribute annually to our stockholders a minimum of 90% of our net taxable income, determined without regard to the dividends-paid deduction and excluding net capital gains. We will be subject to regular corporate income taxes on any undistributed REIT taxable income each year. Additionally, we will be subject to a 4% nondeductible excise tax on any amount by which distributions paid by us in any calendar

Table of Contents

year are less than the sum of 85% of our ordinary income, 95% of our capital gain net income and 100% of our undistributed income from previous years. Payments we make to our stockholders under our redemption plan will not be taken into account for purposes of these distribution requirements. If we do not have sufficient cash to make distributions necessary to preserve our REIT status for any year or to avoid taxation, we may be forced to borrow funds or sell assets even if the market conditions at that time are not favorable for these borrowings or sales.

Compliance with REIT requirements may cause us to forego otherwise attractive opportunities, which may hinder or delay our ability to meet our investment objectives and reduce the overall return on an investment in our shares.

To qualify as a REIT, we are required at all times to satisfy tests relating to, among other things, the sources of our income, the nature and diversification of our assets, the ownership of our stock and the amounts we distribute to our stockholders. Compliance with the REIT requirements may impair our ability to operate solely on the basis of maximizing profits. For example, we may be required to make distributions to stockholders at disadvantageous times or when we do not have funds readily available for distribution.

Compliance with REIT requirements may force us to liquidate otherwise attractive investments.

To qualify as a REIT, at the end of each calendar quarter, at least 75% of our assets must consist of cash, cash items, government securities and qualified real estate assets. The remainder of our investments in securities (other than qualified real estate assets and government securities) generally cannot include more than 10% of the voting securities of any one issuer or more than 10% of the value of the outstanding securities of any one issuer. Additionally, no more than 5% of the value of our assets (other than government securities and qualified real estate assets) can consist of the securities of any one issuer, and no more than 25% of the value of our assets may be represented by securities of one or more taxable REIT subsidiaries. In order to satisfy these requirements, we may be forced to liquidate otherwise attractive investments.

Non-U.S. stockholders may be subject to FIRPTA tax upon their receipt of certain distributions from us or upon their disposition of shares of our common stock.

A non-U.S, stockholder that disposes of a “U.S. real property interest,” or USRPI (which includes shares of stock of a U.S. corporation whose assets consist principally of USRPIs), or that receives a distribution from a REIT attributable to gains from a disposition by the REIT of a USRPI, is generally subject to the Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act of 1980, as amended, or FIRPTA, on the amount received from (or to the extent attributable to gains from) such disposition. Such FIRPTA tax does not apply, however, to the disposition of stock in a REIT that is “domestically controlled.” A REIT is domestically controlled if less than 50% of its stock, by value, has been owned directly or indirectly by non-U.S. persons during a continuous five-year period ending on the date of disposition or, if shorter, during the entire period of the REIT’s existence. We cannot assure stockholders that we will qualify as a domestically controlled REIT. If we were to fail to so qualify, amounts received by a non-U.S. stockholder on certain dispositions of shares of our common stock would be subject to FIRPTA tax, unless (i) our shares of common stock were regularly traded on an established securities market and (ii) the non-U.S. stockholder did not, at any time during a specified testing period, hold more than 5% of our common stock. Furthermore, certain distributions by us may be subject to FIRPTA tax unless the conditions in clauses (i) and (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence are satisfied.

The IRS may deem the gains from sales of our properties to be subject to a 100% prohibited transaction tax.

From time to time, we may be forced to sell assets to fund redemption requests, to satisfy our REIT distribution requirements, to satisfy other REIT requirements or for other purposes. The IRS may deem one or more sales of our properties to be “prohibited transactions.” If the IRS takes the position that we have engaged in a “prohibited transaction” (i.e., we sell a property held by us primarily for sale in the ordinary course of our trade or business), the gain we recognize from such sale would be subject to a 100% tax. The Code sets forth a safe harbor for REITs that wish to sell property without risking the imposition of the 100% tax, but there is no assurance that we will be able to qualify for the safe harbor. We do not intend to hold property for sale in the ordinary course of business; however

Table of Contents

there is no assurance that our position will not be challenged by the IRS, especially if we make frequent sales or sales of property in which we have short holding periods.

We may be subject to tax liabilities that reduce our cash flow and our ability to make distributions to our stockholders even if we qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes.

We may be subject to federal and state taxes on our income or property even if we qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, including, but not limited to, those described below.


•	In order to qualify as a REIT, we are required to distribute as dividends annually at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the dividends-paid deduction and excluding net capital gains, to our stockholders. If we satisfy the distribution requirement but distribute less than 100% of our REIT taxable


•	If we file income tax returns in states or local jurisdictions that do not respect the dividends paid deduction, we will be subject to state or local income tax.


•	We will be required to pay a 4% nondeductible excise tax on the amount, if any, by which the distributions we make to our stockholders in any calendar year are less than the sum of 85% of our ordinary income, 95% of our capital gain net income and 100% of our undistributed income from previous years.


•	If we have net income from the sale of foreclosure property that we hold primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business or other non-qualifying income from foreclosure property, we will be required to pay a tax on that income at the highest corporate income tax rate.


•	Any gain we recognize on the sale of a property, other than foreclosure property, that we hold primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business, would be subject to the 100% “prohibited transaction” tax.

Our board of directors is authorized to revoke our REIT election without stockholder approval, which may cause adverse consequences to our stockholders.

Our charter authorizes our board of directors to revoke or otherwise terminate our REIT election, without the approval of our stockholders, if it determines that it is not in our best interests to qualify as a REIT. In this event, we would become subject to U.S. federal income tax on our taxable income and we would no longer be required to distribute most of our net income to our stockholders, which may cause a reduction in the total return to our stockholders.

Stockholders may have current tax liability on distributions they elect to reinvest in our common stock.

If stockholders participate in our distribution reinvestment plan, they will be taxed on the value of shares of our common stock received to the extent the amount reinvested was not a tax-free return of capital. Therefore, unless a stockholder is a tax-exempt entity, the stockholder may be forced to use funds from other sources to pay its tax liability on the reinvested dividends.

Generally, ordinary dividends payable by REITs do not qualify for reduced U.S. federal income tax rates.

The maximum U.S. federal income tax rate for “qualified dividends” payable by U.S. corporations to individual U.S. stockholders currently is 20%. However, ordinary dividends payable by REITs are generally not eligible for the reduced rates and generally are taxed at ordinary income rates (the maximum individual rate currently being 39.6%).

We may be subject to adverse legislative or regulatory tax changes.

At any time, the federal income tax laws or regulations governing REITs or the administrative interpretations of those laws or regulations may be amended. We cannot predict when or if any new federal income tax law; regulation or administrative interpretation; or any amendment to any existing federal income tax law, regulation or administrative interpretation, will be adopted, promulgated or become effective and any such law, regulation or

Table of Contents

interpretation may take effect retroactively. We and our stockholders could be adversely affected by any such change in, or any new, federal income tax law, regulation or administrative interpretation.

The failure of a mezzanine loan to qualify as a real estate asset could adversely affect our ability to qualify as a REIT.

The IRS has issued Revenue Procedure 2003-65, which provides a safe harbor pursuant to which a mezzanine loan that is secured by interests in a pass-through entity will be treated by the IRS as a real estate asset for purposes of the REIT tests, and interest derived from such loan will be treated as qualifying mortgage interest for purposes of the REIT 75% gross income test. Although the Revenue Procedure provides a safe harbor on which taxpayers may rely, it does not prescribe rules of substantive tax law. To the extent that any such loans do not satisfy all the requirements for reliance on the safe harbor set forth in the Revenue Procedure, there can be no assurance that the IRS will not challenge the tax treatment of such loans, which could jeopardize our ability to qualify as a REIT.

If certain sale-leaseback transactions are not characterized by the IRS as “true leases,” we may be subject to adverse tax consequences.

We may purchase investments in properties and lease them back to the sellers of these properties. If the IRS does not characterize these leases as “true leases,” we would fail to qualify as a REIT.

Retirement Plan Risks

If the fiduciary of an employee benefit plan subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, or ERISA, fails to meet the fiduciary and other standards under ERISA, the Code or common law as a result of an investment in our stock, the fiduciary could be subject to criminal and civil penalties.

There are special considerations that apply to investing in our shares on behalf of a trust, pension, profit sharing or 401(k) plans, health or welfare plans, trusts, individual retirement accounts, or IRAs, or Keogh plans. If stockholders are investing the assets of any of the entities identified in the prior sentence in our common stock, they should satisfy themselves that:


•	the investment is consistent with their fiduciary obligations under applicable law, including common law, ERISA and the Code;


•	the investment is made in accordance with the documents and instruments governing the trust, plan or IRA, including a plan’s investment policy;


•	the investment satisfies the prudence and diversification requirements of Sections 404(a)(1)(B) and 404(a)(1)(C) of ERISA and other applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code;


•	the investment will not impair the liquidity of the trust, plan or IRA;


•	the investment will not produce “unrelated business taxable income” for the plan or IRA;


•	our stockholders will be able to value the assets of the plan annually in accordance with ERISA requirements and applicable provisions of the plan or IRA; and


•	the investment will not constitute a prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code.

Failure to satisfy the fiduciary standards of conduct and other applicable requirements of ERISA, the Code, or other applicable statutory or common law may result in the imposition of civil (and criminal, if the violation was willful) penalties and can subject the fiduciary to equitable remedies. In addition, if an investment in our shares constitutes a prohibited transaction under ERISA or the Code, the fiduciary that authorized or directed the investment may be subject to the imposition of excise taxes with respect to the amount invested.

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

During the period covered by this Annual Report, we did not sell any equity securities that were not registered under the Securities Act.

Use of Proceeds from Sales of Registered Securities

On January 3, 2013, our Registration Statement on Form S-11 (File No. 333-180356), registering our public offering of up to $2.5 billion of any combination of Class A and Class B common stock, was initially declared effective under the Securities Act, and we commenced our Offering. The per share price for each class of our common stock sold in our Offering equals the daily NAV per share for such class, plus, for Class A shares only, applicable selling commissions.

No public market currently exists for either class of our shares of common stock, and we currently have no plans to list any class of our shares on a national securities exchange. As of March 10, 2015, there were approximately 230 stockholders of record for the Class A shares of our common stock and approximately 170 stockholders of record for the Class B shares of our common stock.

Through December 31, 2014, we had sold the following shares of common stock and raised the following proceeds in connection with the Offering:



	Shares	Proceeds
Primary Offering:
Class A shares	1,788,216	$	22,293,897
Class B shares	1,879,701	23,008,865
Distribution Reinvestment Plan:
Class A shares	30,394	379,322
Class B shares	81,052	1,007,043
Total	3,779,363	$	46,689,127

From the commencement of our public offering through December 31, 2014, we incurred the following expenses related thereto:



Selling commissions	$	341,175
Distribution fees	100,384
Dealer manager fees (1)	154,539
Other offering expenses	6,199,317
Total offering expenses	$	6,795,415

(1) The dealer manager, which is not affiliated with us, waived the dealer manager fees on the Class B shares owned by RREEF America.

From the commencement of our Offering through December 31, 2014, the offering proceeds to us, net of selling commissions, distribution fees and dealer manager fees (none of which are being paid by RREEF America), were $46,093,029. The other offering expenses described above have been paid by RREEF America pursuant to our advisory agreement or expense support agreement with RREEF America, by our dealer manager or by us. We will reimburse RREEF America for the offering expenses paid by them as described in Note 2 ("Summary of Significant Accounting

Table of Contents

Policies - Organization and Offering Expenses") and Note 7 ("Related Party Arrangements") to our consolidated financial statements. Our dealer manager has agreed to defer reimbursement of certain offering expenses it has paid until an unspecified future date.

From the commencement of the Offering through December 31, 2014, the net offering proceeds to us referred to above have been allocated to the following uses:


•	Approximately $22,550,000 was used to partially fund the purchase price of our real estate properties;


•	Approximately $5,600,000 was used to purchase real estate equity securities;


•	Approximately $15,200,000 was used to repay outstanding amounts on our Regions line of credit; and


•	Approximately $2,700,000 was available for working capital or subsequent investment.

Share Redemption Plan

During the year ended December 31, 2014, we processed two redemptions for a total of 10,008 Class A shares at a weighted average price of $12.23 per share, before allowing for the 2% short-term trading discount, and four redemptions for a total of 60,391 Class B shares at a weighted average price of $12.67 per share, before allowing for the 2% short-term trading discount. We funded these redemptions with cash flows from operations. There were no share redemptions for the year ended December 31, 2013.

The following table sets forth information regarding our redemption of shares of our common stock pursuant to our redemption plan during the three months ended December 31, 2014.

Distribution Information

We are required to make distributions sufficient to satisfy the requirements for qualification as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. Generally, income distributed will not be taxable to us under the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) if we distribute at least 90% of our taxable income each year, determined without regard to the distributions-paid deduction and excluding net capital gains. Distributions are authorized at the discretion of our board of directors, in accordance with our earnings, cash flow and general financial condition. Our board of directors’ discretion is directed, in substantial part, by its obligation to cause us to comply with the REIT requirements. Because we may receive income from interest or rents at various times during our fiscal year, distributions may not reflect our income earned in that particular distribution period and may be made in advance of actual receipt of funds in an attempt to make distributions relatively uniform. We are authorized to borrow money, issue new securities or sell assets to make distributions. There are no restrictions on the ability of our operating partnership to transfer funds to us.

We intend to continue to declare and make distributions on a monthly basis, based on daily record dates. For purposes of calculating our NAV to account for any declared distributions, our advisor accrues as our liability on the day after the record date (the distribution adjustment date) the amount of the declared distributions. Distributions will be payable only to stockholders of record on the business day immediately preceding the distribution adjustment date.

Table of Contents

Distributions are made on all classes of our common stock at the same time. The per share amount of distributions on Class A shares and Class B shares will likely differ because of different allocations of class-specific expenses. We use the record-share method of determining the per share amount of distributions on Class A and Class B shares, although our board of directors may choose any other method that will not cause our distributions to be treated as preferential dividends under the Code. The record-share method is one of several distribution calculation methods for multiple-class funds recommended, but not required, by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). Under this method, the total dollar amount to be distributed on our common shares is increased by the sum of all class-specific expenses accrued for such period. Such amount is divided by the number of our common shares outstanding on the record date. Such per share amount is then reduced for each class of common stock by the per share amount of any class-specific expenses allocable to such class.

Our board of directors and our advisor will periodically review the distribution policy to determine the appropriateness of our distribution rate relative to our current and forecasted cash flows. Our board of directors authorized and declared daily per share cash distributions for each fiscal quarter for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2014 as presented in the tables below.

Declared daily per share distribution rates, before adjustment for class-specific expenses:

(1) Annualized distribution yield is calculated based on the distribution rate and the NAV in effect for each class of common stock as of December 31, 2014 and 2013.

For the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, our distributions were covered by our cash flow from operations. Our cash flow from operations includes amounts paid by our advisor under the expense support agreement between us and our advisor, as described elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Please see "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations--Liquidity and Capital Resources," and Note 7 to our consolidated financial statements. For the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, cash flow from operations benefited by $2,128,248 and $1,792,450, respectively, from the expense support agreement. Our advisor may continue providing us expense support up to a maximum of $9,200,000. Through December 31, 2014, our advisor has incurred

$6,596,731 in expense support payments. Expense support payments by our advisor under the expense support agreement may include offering expenses as well as operating expenses.

Distribution Reinvestment Plan

We have adopted a distribution reinvestment plan, whereby stockholders are able to elect to have their cash distributions attributable to the class of shares owned automatically reinvested in additional shares of the same class. All such distributions are immediately reinvested in our shares on behalf of the participants on the business day such distribution would have been paid to such stockholder.

The per share purchase price for shares purchased pursuant to the distribution reinvestment plan is equal to our NAV per share applicable to the class of shares purchased, calculated as of the distribution date. Stockholders do not pay selling commissions when purchasing shares pursuant to the distribution reinvestment plan. Because the dealer manager fee is calculated based on our NAV, it reduces the NAV with respect to all shares of each class of our common stock, including shares issued under the distribution reinvestment plan. Similarly, the distribution fee reduces the Class A NAV because it is calculated based on Class A NAV. The distribution fee is not payable with respect to Class B shares. Shares acquired under the distribution reinvestment plan entitle the participant to the same rights and will be treated in the same manner as shares of that class purchased in our Offering.

We reserve the right to amend any aspect of our distribution reinvestment plan without the consent of our stockholders, provided that notice of any material amendment is sent to participants at least ten days prior to the effective date of that amendment. In addition, we may suspend or terminate the distribution reinvestment plan for any reason at any time upon ten days’ prior written notice to participants. A stockholder’s participation in the plan will be terminated to the extent that a reinvestment of such stockholder’s distributions in our shares would cause the percentage ownership or other limitations contained in our charter to be violated. Participants may terminate their participation in the distribution reinvestment plan with ten days’ prior written notice to us.

Overview

We are a Maryland corporation formed on February 7, 2012, our inception date, to invest in a diversified portfolio of high quality, income-producing commercial real estate properties and other real estate-related assets. We are an externally advised, perpetual-life corporation that qualified as a REIT for the calendar year ended December 31, 2013 for federal income tax purposes. We hold our properties, real estate-related assets and other investments through RREEF Property Operating Partnership, LP, or our operating partnership, of which we are the sole general partner.

We invest primarily in the office, industrial, retail and multifamily sectors of the commercial real estate industry in the United States. We may also invest in real estate-related assets, which include common and preferred stock of publicly traded REITs and other real estate companies, which we refer to as “real estate equity securities,” and debt investments backed by real estate, which we refer to as “real estate loans.”

Our board of directors will at all times have ultimate oversight and policy-making authority over us, including responsibility for governance, financial controls, compliance and disclosure. Pursuant to our advisory agreement, our board has delegated to our advisor authority to manage our day-to-day business in accordance with our investment objectives, strategy, guidelines, policies and limitations.

On May 30, 2013, upon receipt of a purchase order from our sponsor for $10,000,000 of Class B shares of our common stock and the release to us of funds in the escrow account, we commenced operations. Prior to May 30, 2013, we had neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues. Our entire activity from our inception date through May 30, 2013 was to prepare for and implement our public offering of our common stock.

Portfolio Information

Real Estate Portfolio

On May 31, 2013, we acquired a fee simple interest in 9022 Heritage Parkway, a two-story office building located in Woodridge, Illinois ("9022 Heritage Parkway"), for a purchase price of $13,300,000, exclusive of closing costs. We funded the acquisition with existing capital and by borrowing $6,700,000 under our Regions line of credit. 9022 Heritage Parkway is a 94,233 square foot office building situated on 8.05 acres, located at the interchange of Interstate 55 and Lemont Road, approximately 25 miles west of downtown Chicago. 9022 Heritage Parkway is located in the Eastern East-West Corridor of the Chicago suburban office market, the largest of the metro’s suburban submarkets. The property is 100% leased to Allstate Insurance Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Allstate Corporation (NYSE:ALL).

On December 18, 2013, we acquired a fee simple interest in a mixed-use building located in Seattle, Washington ("Wallingford Plaza") for a purchase price of $12,728,000, exclusive of closing costs. We funded the acquisition with

Table of Contents

existing capital and by borrowing $5,500,000 under our Regions line of credit. Wallingford Plaza is a 30,761 square foot, three-story, mixed-use (office over retail) building located on a 0.52 acre site at 4468 Stone Way North, on the corner of Stone Way North and North 45th Street. Wallingford Plaza is located in North Seattle, with convenient access to downtown Seattle, Puget Sound and the University of Washington. The building was constructed in 1916 and benefits from multiple renovation projects, including an approximately $2.3 million renovation project completed in 2013.

On April 11, 2014, we acquired a fee simple interest in an industrial building and an adjacent lot located in Logan Township, New Jersey (“Commerce Corner”) for a purchase price of $19,750,000, exclusive of closing costs. We funded this acquisition with existing capital and $17,600,000 from our Regions line of credit. Of the $17,600,000 borrowed, $8,760,000 was from existing borrowing capacity on previously acquired properties, while $8,840,000 was allocated to Commerce Corner. Commerce Corner is a 259,910 square foot industrial building located on a 14.4 acre site at 1109 Commerce Boulevard, plus an additional adjacent 9.7 acre parcel of land which is partially utilized by one of the tenants for additional trailer parking. Situated one mile from Exit 10 of Interstate 295 and in close proximity to Interstate 95 and the New Jersey Turnpike, the Northeast Distribution Corridor’s primary north/south highways, Commerce Corner is strategically positioned at the front of the 3.1 million square foot LogistiCenter at Logan industrial park.

On July 2, 2014, we acquired a fee simple interest in an office building located in Anaheim, California ("Anaheim Hills Office Plaza") for a purchase price of $18,500,000, exclusive of closing costs. We funded this acquisition with existing capital and by borrowing $14,700,000 from our Regions line of credit. Of the $14,700,000 borrowed, $4,570,000 was from existing borrowing capacity secured by previously acquired properties, while $10,130,000 was specific to Anaheim Hills Office Plaza. Anaheim Hills Office Plaza is a 73,892 square foot, three-story, office building located on a 4.1 acre site located at 160 North Riverview Drive in Anaheim Hills, a submarket in Orange County. The property lies 15 miles north of John Wayne International Airport with direct access to CA-91 and ease of access to the regional freeway system. We believe the property's proximity to multiple major freeways provides access to a large and diverse labor pool. The building was constructed in 2008.

On October 2, 2014, we acquired a fee simple interest in a retail building located in Chula Vista, California ("Terra Nova Plaza") for a purchase price of $21,850,000, exclusive of closing costs. We funded this acquisition with existing capital and by borrowing $19,100,000 from our Regions line of credit. Of the $19,100,000 borrowed, $7,100,000 was from existing borrowing capacity secured by previously acquired properties, while $12,000,000 was specific to Terra Nova Plaza. Terra Nova Plaza is a 96,114 square foot, one-story retail building constructed in 1986 and located on an 8.34 acre site in Chula Vista, California. Chula Vista is situated 7.5 miles from downtown San Diego and 11 miles from the San Diego International Airport. Terra Nova Plaza is at the intersection of Interstate 805 and H Street, providing access, visibility and drive-by traffic on H Street.

As of December 31, 2014, our weighted average remaining lease term was 7.6 years. The following table represents certain additional information about the properties we owned as of December 31, 2014:

Real Estate Equity Securities Portfolio

As of December 31, 2014, our real estate equity securities portfolio consisted of publicly traded common stock of 50 REITs with a value of $6,400,611. We believe that investing a portion of our proceeds from our offering into a diversified portfolio of common and preferred shares of REITs and other real estate operating companies will provide the overall portfolio some flexibility with near-term liquidity as well as potentially enhance our NAV over a longer period. The portfolio is regularly reviewed and evaluated to determine whether the marketable securities held at any time continue to serve their original intended purposes.

The following chart summarizes our marketable securities by property type as of December 31, 2014:

As of December 31, 2014, our top ten holdings in our real estate equity securities portfolio were as follows:



Security	Percent of Securities Portfolio
Simon Property Group, Inc.	9.2	%
Prologis, Inc.	5.8
Boston Properties, Inc.	4.3
General Growth Properties, Inc.	4.3

Market Outlook

U.S. economic growth is expected to accelerate in 2015 and 2016, fueled by increased hiring, improving consumer confidence and historically low interest rates. Additionally, government spending, which has been a drag on economic growth during the past few years, will likely turn positive as austerity lessens, adding to gross domestic product. A strengthening economy, low mortgage rates and favorable demographic trends should boost the housing industry during 2015.

Likewise, improvement in the U.S. commercial real estate market should gain momentum over the near and medium term. Strong tenant demand in 2014 resulted in falling vacancy and rising rents across the board. Office and industrial sectors had the steepest vacancy declines during the year, and retail continued a slow recovery. As apartment vacancy was already low at the end of 2013, strong demand resulted in robust rent growth in 2014. We expect the overall U.S. property market to continue to tighten over the next 12 to 24 months as increased job growth translates to greater demand for real estate.

However, the ensuing widespread rent growth will activate development pipelines, creating the potential for supply risk in some markets. New construction has so far been limited to apartment properties, and there are even concerns of over-supply in a few markets. While the supply risk for apartments is escalating, new construction for the other three property types are currently aligned with demand levels. Thus, apartment vacancy will likely begin to rise modestly in 2015, while vacancy rates for industrial, office and retail sectors are expected to continue to fall through at least 2017. Overall, property markets are firmly in the growth phase of the cycle for the near-term.

There are a number of risks to our forecasts. If weak economic conditions in Europe and Asia persist, global demand will likely suffer, lowering profit potential for U.S. firms and potentially curtailing hiring plans. Additionally, weak international conditions could limit production abroad, lowering imports to the United States, which would cut into industrial demand; although, the strong dollar should continue to encourage import activity. Another risk to our forecast regards the effects of changes in oil prices. If oil prices stay lower than expected during the next few years, real estate in oil-consuming markets would likely benefit at the expense of real estate in oil-producing markets. Finally, the market consensus is predicting that the Federal Reserve plans to begin to raise interest rates later this year. Though interest rates overall should remain historically low, the impact on the U.S. real estate market when that event occurs is uncertain.

Results of Operations

We commenced operations on May 30, 2013 upon receipt of $10,000,000 in proceeds from our offering. On May 31, 2013, we acquired our first property and made our initial investments in marketable securities. Since then and through December 31, 2014, we acquired four additional properties, increased our investments in real estate equity securities and significantly increased our outstanding debt balance. In addition, we have not invested all of the proceeds from our offering that we have received to date, and we expect to continue to raise additional capital, increase our borrowings and make future acquisitions, which we believe will have a significant impact on our future results of operations.

Revenues

Our rental income increased to $4,591,711 for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to $761,684 for the year ended December 31, 2013. Our tenant reimbursement income increased to $593,845 for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to $14,705 for the year ended December 31, 2013. Our 2013 results included rental and tenant reimbursement income primarily from 9022 Heritage Parkway, while our 2014 results are reflective of the subsequent acquisitions as described above under "Portfolio Information-Real Estate Portfolio." Straight line revenues increased to $342,643 for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to $64,384 for the year ended December 31, 2013. The increase in straight line revenues for 2014 over 2013 is reflective of our additional property acquisitions.

Our investment income on marketable securities increased to $133,208 for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to $81,316 for the year ended December 31, 2013. Upon the commencement of our operations on May 31, 2013, approximately $3,100,000 was invested in a diversified portfolio of publicly traded common stock of REITs. The increase in investment income was reflective primarily of investment income from seven months of 2013 compared to a full year in 2014. The portfolio is regularly adjusted by increasing and decreasing specific holdings primarily based upon changes in sector allocations and to a lesser degree based upon performance of specific securities. Proceeds from sale of securities are reinvested in the common stock of other publicly traded REITs, thereby keeping a base of investments that

Table of Contents

generate dividend income. During the year ended December 31, 2014, we invested an additional $2,500,000 into our real estate equity securities portfolio. As of December 31, 2014, our estate equity securities portfolio had a total investment cost of $5,811,129. All of our investment income for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 was comprised of dividend income from these investments.

Operating Expenses

Our total operating expenses for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 were $6,131,581 and $2,428,524, respectively. The most significant component of our operating expenses in each period presented is general and administrative expenses, which includes a variety of corporate expenses, the largest of which were directors and officers insurance, legal fees, audit fees, independent director fees and compensation and overhead costs related to employees of our advisor for which we are required to reimburse our advisor. For the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, general and administrative expenses were $2,232,336 and $1,653,358, respectively. The amount for 2014 is significantly higher than 2013 primarily because the 2013 period represents less than twelve months of costs for most general and administrative expenses as a result of our breaking escrow on May 30, 2013. The year ended December 31, 2014 includes a full period of general and administrative expenses.

Pursuant to the our charter, we may reimburse our advisor, at the end of each fiscal quarter, for total operating expenses incurred by our advisor; provided, however, that commencing with the quarter ended June 30, 2014, which is the fourth full quarter after the quarter in which we made our first investment, we may not reimburse our advisor at the end of any fiscal quarter for total operating expenses (as defined in our charter) that, in the four consecutive fiscal quarters then ended, exceed the greater of 2% of our average invested assets or 25% of our net income determined without reduction for any additions to reserves for depreciation, bad debts or other similar non-cash reserves and excluding any gain from the sale of the Company's assets for that period (which we refer to as the 2%/25% guidelines) for such four-quarter period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we may reimburse our advisor for expenses in excess of the 2%/25% guidelines if a majority of our independent directors determine that such excess expenses (which we refer to as an “excess amount”) are justified based on unusual and non-recurring factors. For the four fiscal quarters ended December 31, 2014, our total operating expenses were $2,226,489, which exceeded the 2%/25% guidelines by $1,042,626. On March 2, 2015, our independent directors determined that the excess amount of total operating expenses for the four quarters ended December 31, 2014 was justified because (1) the amounts reflect legitimate operating expenses necessary for the operation of our business, (2) we are in our first year of operations and are currently in our acquisition and development stage, (3) the expenses incurred as a result of being a public company (including for audit and legal services, director and officer liability insurance and fees for directors) are significant and disproportionate to our average invested assets and net income, and (4) our average invested assets was low due to our ownership of 2 - 5 properties for the four fiscal quarter period. The excess amount approved by our independent directors will be eligible for reimbursement in the future pursuant to the terms and conditions of the expense support agreement and the advisory agreement, as applicable, with our advisor.

In accordance with our advisory agreement, our advisor can earn the performance component of the advisory fee when the total return to stockholders exceeds the required 6% per annum hurdle. The performance component is calculated separately for the Class A shares and the Class B shares and is comprised of the distributions paid to stockholders in each class of shares combined with the change in the Class A or Class B share price. For the period from January 1, 2014 through December 31, 2014, the total return to stockholders in each of the Class A and Class B shares exceeded the 6% per annum hurdle. The performance component of the advisory fee for each class is equal to 25% of the excess total return (the portion above the 6% per annum hurdle) allocable to such class; provided that in no event will the performance component exceed 10% of the aggregate total return allocable to such class for such year. The performance component of the advisory fee is payable annually based on the results for the entire calendar year. During the quarter ended December 31, 2014, our advisor waived the previously accrued advisory fees under the performance component of the advisory fee of $265,985. The actual performance component earned by RREEF America during any future year, if any, is dependent on several factors, including but not limited to the performance of our investments, interest rates, and the expense support provided by RREEF America. Our advisor also waived the performance component that would have been due for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Property operating expenses for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, were $1,007,235 and $35,872, respectively. The significant increase is due to the four acquisitions that occurred from December 2013 through October 2014.

Acquisition related expenses during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 were $333,554 and $137,484, respectively.The 2014 amount related primarily to our acquisitions of Commerce Corner, Anaheim Hills Office Plaza, and

Table of Contents

Terra Nova Plaza, while the 2013 amount related to our acquisitions of 9022 Heritage Parkway and Wallingford Plaza. Acquisition related expenses during the year ended December 31, 2014 additionally included costs related to pursuit of an acquisition that we ultimately decided not to complete.

We expect our acquisition-related expenses, depreciation, amortization and property operating expenses to increase in future periods because we anticipate acquiring additional properties in the future.

Interest Expense

For the year ended December 31, 2014, interest expense was $1,078,124 compared to $324,560 for the same period in 2013. Interest expense for 2014 is significantly higher than in 2013 primarily due to borrowings on our line of credit related to acquisitions occurring in December 2013 and during 2014. In connection therewith, the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 reflect weighted average outstanding balances on our line of credit of $25.8 million and less than $5 million, respectively. We expect our interest expense to increase in future periods because (1) the interest expense reported during the periods presented reflects a lower average leverage level than we expect to maintain and (2) we anticipate acquiring additional properties in the future. However, as we acquire additional properties and finance a portion of those properties with borrowings under our line of credit, we expect our line of credit fees to decrease.

Realized and Unrealized Losses from Marketable Securities

Since our initial investment in a portfolio of publicly traded REIT securities, our portfolio has been subject to continual refinements in positions held. All proceeds from sales of marketable securities are reinvested into other marketable securities. For the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, these portfolio refinements resulted in net realized gains of $91,837 and net realized losses of $85,824, respectively. Compared to the 2013 periods, the public REIT sector of the equities market made a significant comeback during 2014. For the year ended December 31, 2014, our securities portfolio experienced a net unrealized gain of $765,053, primarily due to the performance of the REIT sector, but also enhanced by superior stock selection by our advisor's securities investment team. This compares to net unrealized loss of $175,571 for the year ended December 31, 2013 which resulted from a general decline in the REIT stock market. As of December 31, 2014, we owned a portfolio of publicly traded common stock of 50 REITs with a cost basis of $5,811,129 and a fair value of $6,400,611, reflecting a net unrealized gain of $589,482.

Inflation

The real estate property sector has not been affected significantly by inflation in the past several years due to the relatively low inflation rate. With the exception of leases with tenants in multifamily properties, we will seek to include provisions in our tenant leases designed to protect us from the impact of inflation. These provisions will include reimbursement billings for operating expense pass-through charges, real estate tax and insurance reimbursements, or in some cases, annual reimbursement of operating expenses above a certain allowance. Due to the generally long-term nature of these leases, annual rent increases may not be sufficient to cover inflation and rent may be below market. Leases in multifamily properties generally turn over on an annual basis and do not typically present the same concerns regarding inflation protection due to their short-term nature.

Net Asset Value (NAV) per Share

We commenced calculating our NAV per share for each class of shares on May 30, 2013, the day we commenced operations. We calculate NAV per share in accordance with the valuation guidelines approved by our board of directors for the purposes of establishing a price for shares sold in our public offering as well as establishing a redemption price.

The following table provides a breakdown of the major components of our NAV per share as of December 31, 2014:

Table of Contents



Component of NAV	Total NAV			Per Class A Share			Per Class B Share
Investments in real estate (1)	$	88,250,000		$	23.72		$	23.86
Investments in real estate equity securities (2)	6,400,611			1.72			1.73
Other assets, net	2,452,002			0.66			0.66
Line of credit	(48,400,000		)	(13.01		)	(13.09		)

NAV per share	$	47,561,957		$	12.78		$	12.86

(1) The value of our investments in real estate was approximately 2.5% more than their historical cost.

(2) The value of our investments in real estate securities was approximately 10.1% more than their historical cost.

The table below sets forth a reconciliation of our stockholders' equity to our NAV as of December 31, 2014.



	Total NAV			Per Class A Share			Per Class B Share
Total stockholders' equity	$	33,607,645		$	9.03		$	9.09
Plus:
Unrealized gain on real estate investments	2,122,050			0.57			0.57
Accumulated depreciation	1,289,650			0.35			0.35
Accumulated amortization related to intangible lease assets and liabilities	1,749,664			0.47			0.47
Deferred offering costs and expenses	9,199,975			2.47			2.49

As of December 31, 2014, 9022 Heritage Parkway, Wallingford Plaza, Commerce Corner and Anaheim Hills Office Plaza had been appraised by a third-party appraisal firm in addition to our independent valuation advisor. As both 9022 Heritage Parkway and Anaheim Hills Office Plaza are office properties, set forth below are the weighted averages of the key assumptions used in the appraisals of both properties as of December 31, 2014.



	Discount Rate	Exit Capitalization Rate
Office properties	8.11%	7.32%

These assumptions are determined by our independent valuation advisor or by separate third-party appraisers. A change in these assumptions would impact the calculation of the value of our office property investments. For example, assuming all other factors remain unchanged, an increase in the weighted-average discount rate used as of December 31, 2014 of 0.25% would yield a decrease in the total office property investment value of 1.70%.

The deferred offering costs and expenses of $9,199,975 are initially excluded from the NAV calculation. This includes $9,022,642 payable to our advisor, which is less than the total amount payable to our advisor, as reflected on our consolidated balance sheet, because (1) certain amounts payable to our advisor as of December 31, 2014 were recorded as assets and as such have no impact on our NAV as of December 31, 2014, and (2) the amount payable to our advisor as reflected on our consolidated balance sheet includes accrued operating expenses that are reimbursable under the advisory agreement. The deferred offering costs and expenses of $9,199,975 will be included in the NAV calculation as such costs are reimbursed to our advisor, in accordance with the advisory agreement and the third amended expense support agreement. For the year ended December 31, 2014, we reimbursed our advisor for $918,099 of deferred offering costs and expenses, which have been included as a deduction to our NAV calculation in a pro rata amount on a daily basis. The

deferred offering costs and expenses included in the table above also includes $177,333 payable to our dealer manager, who has agreed to defer payment of these costs until an unspecified future date.

Limitations and Risks

As with any valuation methodology, our methodology is based upon a number of estimates and assumptions that may not be accurate or complete. Different parties with different assumptions and estimates could derive a different NAV per share. Accordingly, with respect to our NAV per share, we can provide no assurance that:


•	a stockholder would be able to realize this NAV per share upon attempting to resell his or her shares;


•	we would be able to achieve, for our stockholders, the NAV per share, upon a listing of our shares of common stock on a national securities exchange, selling our real estate portfolio, or merging with another company; or


•	the NAV per share, or the methodologies relied upon to estimate the NAV per share, will be found by any regulatory authority to comply with any regulatory requirements.

Furthermore, the NAV per share was calculated as of a particular point in time. The NAV per share will fluctuate over time in response to, among other things, changes in real estate market fundamentals, capital markets activities, and attributes specific to the properties and leases within our portfolio.

Funds from Operations (“FFO”) and Modified Funds from Operations (“MFFO”)

We believe that FFO and MFFO in combination with net loss and cash flows from operating activities, as defined by GAAP, are useful supplemental performance measures that we use to evaluate our operating performance. However, these supplemental, non-GAAP measures should not be considered as an alternative to net loss or to cash flows from operating activities as an indication of our performance and are not intended to be used as a liquidity measure indicative of cash flow available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to make distributions to our stockholders. No single measure can provide users of financial information with sufficient information, and only our disclosures read as a whole can be relied upon to adequately portray our financial position, liquidity and results of operations. In addition, other REITs may define FFO and similar measures differently and thus choose to treat certain accounting line items in a manner different from us due to differences in investment and operating strategy or for other reasons.

FFO

As defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), FFO is a non-GAAP supplemental financial performance measure that excludes certain items such as real estate-related depreciation and amortization and the impact of certain non-recurring items such as realized gains and losses on sales of real estate and items classified as extraordinary items under GAAP. We believe FFO is a meaningful supplemental financial performance measure of our operating performance that is useful to investors because depreciation and amortization in accordance with GAAP implicitly assume that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Additionally, realized gains and losses on sales of real estate and items classified as extraordinary items under GAAP generally occur infrequently. As a result, excluding these items from FFO aids our analysis of our ongoing operations. We use FFO as an indication of our operating performance and as a guide to making decisions about future investments.

MFFO

As defined by the Investment Program Association (“IPA”), MFFO is a non-GAAP supplemental financial performance measure used to assist us in evaluating our operating performance. We believe that MFFO is helpful as a measure of ongoing operating performance because it excludes costs that management considers more reflective of investing activities and other non-operating items included in FFO. Compared to FFO, MFFO additionally excludes items such as acquisition-related costs, straight-line rent and amortization of above- and below-market lease intangibles. In addition, there are certain other MFFO adjustments as defined by the IPA that are not applicable to us at this time and are not included in our presentation of MFFO. We believe that excluding acquisition costs from MFFO provides investors with supplemental performance information that is consistent with our analysis of the operating performance of our portfolio over time, including periods after our acquisition stage. We use FFO and MFFO, among other things: (i) to evaluate and compare the potential performance of the portfolio after the acquisition phase is complete, and (ii) as metrics in evaluating our ongoing distribution policy. We believe investors are best served if the information that is made available to them allows them to align their analyses and evaluation with these same performance metrics used by us in planning and executing our business strategy. We believe that these performance metrics will assist investors in evaluating the potential performance of the portfolio after the completion of the acquisition phase. However, these supplemental, non-GAAP measures are not necessarily indicative of future performance and should not be considered as

Table of Contents

an alternative to net loss or to cash flows from operating activities and are not intended to be used as a liquidity measure indicative of cash flow available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to make distributions to our stockholders. Neither the SEC, NAREIT, nor any regulatory body has passed judgment on the acceptability of the adjustments used to calculate MFFO. In the future, the SEC, NAREIT, or a regulatory body may decide to standardize the allowable adjustments across the non-traded REIT industry at which point we may adjust our calculation and characterization of MFFO.

The following unaudited table presents a reconciliation of net loss to FFO and MFFO:



	Year Ended December 31,
	2014			2013
Net loss	$	(1,799,104	)	$	(1,981,203	)

Real estate related depreciation	1,097,034			192,616
Real estate related amortization	1,461,422			409,194
NAREIT defined FFO	$	759,352		$	(1,379,393	)

Additional adjustments
Acquisition expenses	333,554			137,484
Straight line rents	(342,643		)	(64,384		)
Amortization of above- and below-market lease intangibles	(119,906		)	(1,047		)
IPA defined MFFO	$	630,357		$	(1,307,340	)

We believe that our FFO for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, as compared to our distributions declared for the same period, is not indicative of future performance as we are in the development and acquisition phase of our life cycle.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary needs for liquidity and capital resources are to fund our investments in accordance with our investment strategy and policies, make distributions to our stockholders, redeem shares of our common stock pursuant to our redemption plan, pay our offering and operating fees and expenses and pay interest on any outstanding indebtedness.

Over time, we generally intend to fund our cash needs for items, other than asset acquisitions, from operations. Our cash needs for acquisitions will be funded primarily from the sale of shares of our common stock in our offering, and the amount we may raise in our offering is uncertain. We commenced our offering on January 3, 2013. We intend to contribute any additional net proceeds from our offering which are not used or retained to pay the fees and expenses attributable to our operations to our operating partnership. Since the commencement of our offering through December 31, 2014, we raised $22,293,897 from the sale of Class A shares and $23,008,865 from the sale of Class B shares. With respect to the Class B amount, $10,000,000 of the Class B shares were purchased by RREEF America.

We may also satisfy our cash needs for acquisitions through the assumption or incurrence of debt. On May 1, 2013, we, as guarantor, and our operating partnership, as borrower, entered into a secured revolving credit facility, or the Regions line of credit, with Regions Bank and its affiliates, as administrative agent, sole lead arranger and sole book runner, and other lending institutions that may become parties to the credit agreement. As discussed below, on March 6, 2015, we fully repaid and retired the Regions line of credit with funds borrowed under our new line of credit with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association. The Regions line of credit had a capacity of $50 million. Borrowings under the Regions line of credit carried a specified interest rate which, at our option, was comprised of (1) a base rate, currently equal to the prime rate, or (2) a rate based on the London Interbank Offered Rate, or LIBOR, plus a spread ranging from 220 to 250 basis points, depending on our consolidated debt-to-value ratio. On December 17, 2014, the Regions line of credit was amended to establish the applicable spread at 250 basis points as of December 17, 2014 and to provide that the applicable spread would remain at 250 basis points until our tangible net worth as defined in the Regions line of credit agreement surpassed $50,000,000. Prior to this amendment, the spread was adjusted once per quarter upon submission of our covenant calculations, which were due 60 days after quarter end. As of December 31, 2014, our tangible net worth

Table of Contents

was below $50,000,000 and thus amounts outstanding on our Regions line of credit accrued interest at an annual rate of 2.66%. Refer to Note 6 to our consolidated financial statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for further explanation. As of December 31, 2014, the outstanding balance on the Regions line of credit was $48,400,000. The Regions line of credit was scheduled to mature on May 1, 2015.

The Regions line of credit agreement contained customary representations, warranties, borrowing conditions and affirmative, negative and financial covenants, including minimum net worth, debt service coverage requirements, fixed charge ratio requirements, leverage ratio requirements and payout and REIT status requirements. We believe we were in compliance with all covenants as of December 31, 2014.

On March 6, 2015, we entered into a new secured revolving line of credit agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, which we refer to as the Wells Fargo line of credit. Simultaneously therewith, we borrowed $43.4 million under the Wells Fargo line of credit to fully repay and retire the Regions line of credit. The Wells Fargo line of credit has a three year term with an initial maximum capacity of $75 million. Additionally, the Wells Fargo line of credit has two one-year extension options exercisable by us upon satisfaction of certain conditions and payment of applicable extension fees. The interest rate under the Wells Fargo line of credit is based on the 1-month LIBOR with a spread ranging from 170 to 190 basis points depending on the debt yield as defined in the Wells Fargo line of credit agreement. Upon closing, the interest rate on the initial borrowing was 1.875%. In addition, the Wells Fargo line of credit is expandable up to a maximum capacity of $150 million upon satisfaction of specified conditions. Each requested expansion must be for at least $25 million and may result in the Wells Fargo line of credit being syndicated.

The Wells Fargo line of credit has as co-borrowers the wholly owned subsidiaries of our operating partnership, with RREEF Property Trust, Inc. serving as the guarantor. The borrowing capacity under the Wells Fargo line of credit is based on the lesser of (1) an amount equal to 65% of the aggregate value of the properties in the collateral pool as determined by lender appraisals, (2) an amount that results in a minimum debt yield of 11% based on the in-place net operating income of the collateral pool, or (3) the maximum capacity of the Wells Fargo line of credit. Proceeds from the Wells Fargo line of credit can be used to fund acquisitions, redeem shares pursuant to our redemption plan and for any other corporate purpose.

The Wells Fargo line of credit agreement contains customary representations, warranties, borrowing conditions and affirmative, negative and financial covenants, including that there must be at least five properties in the collateral pool at all times, and the collateral pool must also meet specified concentration provisions, unless waived by the lender. In addition, the guarantor must meet tangible net worth hurdles.

In the future, as our assets increase, it may not be commercially feasible or we may not be able to secure an adequate line of credit to fund acquisitions, redemptions or other needs. Moreover, actual availability may be reduced at any given time if the values of our real estate or our marketable securities portfolio decline.

In connection with our advisory agreement, RREEF America agreed to pay all of our organization and offering costs through January 3, 2013, and certain of our organization and offering costs through January 3, 2014, all of which were incurred on our behalf (collectively, the "Deferred O&O"). These costs amounted to $4,618,318. The total of these costs are being reimbursed to RREEF America on a pro rata basis over a 60-month period starting January 3, 2014. However, such reimbursements will be limited to a cumulative amount that does not cause our total organization and offering costs to exceed 15% of the gross proceeds raised from our offering at any time. As of December 31, 2014, these organization and offering costs paid by our advisor exceeded the 15% limit by $1,129,897. During the year ended December 31, 2014, we reimbursed RREEF America for $918,099 in organization and offering costs.

Also pursuant to the advisory agreement, RREEF America is entitled to reimbursement of certain costs incurred by RREEF America or its affiliates that are not incurred under the third amended expense support agreement, as discussed below. Costs eligible for reimbursement, if they are not incurred under the third amended expense support agreement, include most third-party operating expenses, salaries and related costs of its employees who perform services for us (but not those employees for which RREEF America earns a separate fee or those employees who are our executive officers) and travel related costs for its employees who incur such costs on our behalf. We will reimburse our advisor for all expenses paid or incurred by our advisor in connection with the services provided to us, subject to the limitations described below regarding the 2%/25% guidelines as defined in our advisor agreement. As of December 31, 2014, we owed our advisor for $36,155 of such costs.

On May 29, 2013, we entered into an expense support agreement with our advisor, which was amended and restated most recently on December 16, 2014, which we refer to as the "third amended expense support agreement". Pursuant to

Table of Contents

the terms of the third amended expense support agreement, our advisor has incurred, and may continue to incur, expenses related to our operations in addition to the Deferred O&O, which we refer to as "expense payments." These expense payments may include, without limitation, expenses that are organization and offering costs and operating expenses under the advisory agreement. Our advisor may incur these expense payments until the earlier of (i) the date we have surpassed $200,000,000 in aggregate gross proceeds from our offering or (ii) the date the aggregate expense payments by our advisor exceed $9,200,000. Through December 31, 2014, our advisor has incurred $6,596,731 in expense payments.

Pursuant to the third amended expense support agreement, commencing the first calendar quarter of the first calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which either (i) we surpass $200,000,000 in aggregate gross proceeds from the offering, or (ii) the aggregate expense payments by RREEF America exceed $9,200,000, within the first 30 calendar days of such first calendar quarter and within the first 30 days of each subsequent calendar quarter, we will reimburse our advisor in an amount, which we refer to as a "reimbursement payment," equal to the lesser of (i) $250,000 and (ii) the aggregate amount of all expense payments made by our advisor prior to the last day of the previous calendar quarter that have not been previously reimbursed by us to our advisor, until the aggregate of all expense payments have been reimbursed by us; provided, however, that the maximum quarterly reimbursement payment will be increased (i) from $250,000 to $325,000 per quarter commencing with the quarter immediately following the calendar quarter in which we surpass $850 million in gross proceeds from our public offering and (ii) from $325,000 to $400,000 per quarter commencing with the quarter immediately following the calendar quarter in which we surpass $1.9 billion in gross proceeds from our public offering. In all cases, however, such reimbursement payments to our advisor will be subject to reduction as necessary in order to ensure that such reimbursement payment will not cause the aggregate organization and offering costs paid by us to exceed 15% of the gross proceeds from the sale of shares in this offering as of the date of the reimbursement payment, and (2) such reimbursement payment will not adversely affect our ability to maintain our status as a REIT for federal tax purposes. Pursuant to the third amended expense support agreement, the amount of the reimbursement payment paid in any calendar quarter will not be aggregated with our cumulative operating expenses for any four consecutive calendar quarters that includes the calendar quarter in which such reimbursement payment is paid, and instead the amount of the unreimbursed expense payments comprising such reimbursement payment will have previously been aggregated with our total operating expenses for the four calendar quarter periods ending with the calendar quarter in which such expense payment was originally incurred, which we refer to as “prior 2%/25% periods.” If an unreimbursed expense payment incurred during a prior 2%/25% period exceeded the 2%/25% guidelines (as defined in our advisory agreement) for such prior 2%/25% period, the amount of such excess will only be reimbursed pursuant to the third amended expense support agreement to the extent that our independent directors previously approved such excess with respect to the applicable prior 2%/25% period.

In addition, the third amended expense support agreement provides that we will reimburse RREEF America in cash for all remaining unreimbursed expense payments, which we refer to as the lump sum payment, in the event that, for a period of two consecutive calendar quarters, (1) we had positive cash flow for the quarter after the payment of a 5.0% annualized distribution, excluding any reinvestment of distributions, and (2) distributions paid for the quarter are 100% or less as a percentage of both our FFO, as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, and MFFO, as defined by the Investment Program Association, for such quarter. The amount of any lump sum payment will be reduced by an amount necessary to ensure that (1) such lump sum payment will not cause the aggregate organization and offering costs paid by us to exceed 15% of the gross proceeds from the sale of shares in the offering as of the date of the reimbursement payment, and (2) such lump sum payment will not adversely affect our ability to maintain our status as a REIT for federal tax purposes. The amount of such lump sum payment will not be aggregated with our total operating expenses for any four consecutive calendar quarters that includes the calendar quarter in which the lump sum payment is made, and instead, the amounts of the unreimbursed expense payments comprising the lump sum payment will have been previously aggregated with our cumulative operating expenses for the prior 2%/25% periods in which such unreimbursed expense payments were originally incurred. If an unreimbursed expense payment incurred during a prior 2%/25% period exceeded the 2%/25% guidelines for such prior 2%/25% period, the amount of such excess will only be reimbursed as part of the lump sum payment to the extent that our independent directors previously approved such excess with respect to the applicable prior 2%/25% period.

We anticipate our offering and operating fees and expenses will include, among other things, the advisory fee that we pay to our advisor, the selling commissions, dealer manager and distribution fees we pay to SC Distributors, LLC (the dealer manager), legal and audit expenses, federal and state filing fees, printing expenses, transfer agent fees, marketing and distribution expenses and fees related to appraising and managing our properties. We will not have any office or personnel expenses as we do not have any employees. Our advisor will incur certain of these expenses and fees, for which we will reimburse our advisor, subject to certain limitations. Additionally, our advisor will allocate to us out-of-pocket expenses in connection with providing services to us, including our allocable share of our advisor’s overhead, such as rent, utilities and personnel costs for personnel who are directly involved in the performance of services to us and are

Table of Contents

not our executive officers. Furthermore, our dealer manager has incurred certain bona fide offering expenses in connection with the distribution of our shares for which our dealer manager will seek reimbursement at an unspecified future date. Ultimately, total organization and offering costs incurred will not exceed 15% of the gross proceeds from the primary offering. Through December 31, 2014, our advisor has paid on our behalf or reimbursed us for $6,802,994 in organization and offering costs and $4,412,055 in operating expenses related to the third amended expense support agreement. Also through December 31, 2014, our dealer manager has paid on our behalf $418,337 in offering costs. However, the total organization and offering costs paid by our advisor and our dealer manager exceeded the 15% limitation by $1,129,897 as of December 31, 2014. In accordance with this limitation, this excess is not reflected on our balance sheet as of December 31, 2014. We may become obligated to reimburse all or a portion of this excess as we raise additional proceeds from our offering.

Other potential future sources of capital include secured or unsecured financings from banks or other lenders and proceeds from the sale of assets. If necessary, we may use financings or other sources of capital in the event of unforeseen significant capital expenditures. We have not yet identified any sources for these types of financings.

Cash Flow Analysis

Cash flow provided by operating activities during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 was $2,917,313 and $511,712, respectively. The 2014 period benefited significantly from the expense support payments from our advisor of $2,128,248. Comparatively, the 2013 period benefited from expense support payments of $1,792,450. The primary difference between the two periods relates to the shortened activity period in 2013 due to our breaking escrow and commencing operations in May 2013. These expense support payments effectively offset most of our general and administrative expenses and most of our deferred financing costs, and includes certain offering costs. In addition, the depreciation and amortization expenses were $2,438,550 and $600,764 for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The significant increase for the 2014 period relates to a full year operations on the properties acquired during 2013 and the additional properties acquired during 2014.

Cash flow used in investing activities during the year ended December 31, 2014 was $62,340,371, compared to net usage of $29,007,818 for the year ended December 31, 2013. During 2014 we acquired three properties for $59,719,256, while in 2013 we acquired two properties for $25,871,811. 2013 also reflects the initial investment of approximately $3,100,000 into our real estate securities portfolio, while we invested an additional $2,500,000 of new investments (aside from reinvestments of proceeds from securities sales) into our securities portfolio during 2014.

Cash flow provided by financing activities was $58,626,301 for the year ended December 31, 2014. We received proceeds of $19,031,109 in our offering. We paid $701,570 in offering costs that were not covered by our advisor and we reimbursed our advisor for $881,035 of offering costs previously funded by our advisor under our advisory agreement. We had net borrowings of $42,900,000 under our line of credit during 2014 which was used for the three property acquisitions. Cash distributions to stockholders paid during the year ended December 31, 2014 were $1,737,103. Of the total distributions declared for the year ended December 31, 2014, $1,047,236 was reinvested via our distribution reinvestment plan. Additionally, we processed six redemptions resulting in a payout by us of $877,465 after deductions for applicable 2% short term trading fees.

For the year ended December 31, 2013, cash flow provided by financing activities was $31,212,250. We raised $26,071,653 in our offering, of which $10,000,000 was from our sponsor. We paid $217,622 in offering costs that were not covered by our sponsor. During 2013, we had net borrowings of $5,500,000 under our line of credit to acquire 9022 Heritage Parkway and Wallingford Plaza. The line of credit repayments were from proceeds raised in our offering. Cash distributions to stockholders paid during the year ended December 31, 2013 were $430,695. Of the total distributions declared for the year ended December 31, 2013, $339,130 was reinvested via our distribution reinvestment plan. Deferred financing costs paid by us in connection with obtaining our line of credit and not reimbursed by our sponsor amounted to $50,216.

Distributions

Our board of directors authorized and declared daily cash distributions for each quarter which were payable monthly for the period commencing on January 1, 2014 and ending on December 31, 2014 for each share of Class A and Class B common stock outstanding. The table below shows the details of the distributions for 2014:

From our inception through December 31, 2014, we declared cumulative distributions of $2,254,843 to common stockholders, as compared to cumulative FFO of negative $620,041. From our inception through December 31, 2014, our distributions were covered by our cash flow from operations. Our cash flow from operations includes amounts paid by our advisor under the expense support agreement between us and our advisor, as described in "Liquidity and Capital Resources" and Note 7 to our consolidated financial statements. For the year ended December 31, 2014, cash flow from operations benefited by $2,128,248 from the expense support agreement. Our advisor may continue providing us expense support up to a maximum of $9,200,000. Through December 31, 2014, our advisor has incurred $6,596,731 in expense support payments. Expense support payments by our advisor under the expense support agreement may include offering expenses as well as operating expenses. Without the expense support provided by our advisor, the payment of our distributions would have come from proceeds of our offering or from additional borrowings.

We expect that we will continue to pay distributions monthly in arrears. Any distributions not reinvested will be payable in cash, and there can be no assurances regarding the portion of the distributions that will be reinvested. We intend to fund distributions from cash generated by operations. However, we may fund distributions from borrowings under our line of credit or from the proceeds of our offering. The payment of distributions from sources other than cash flow from operations or FFO may be dilutive to our NAV because it may reduce the amount of proceeds available for investment and operations or cause us to incur additional interest expense as a result of borrowed funds.

Redemptions

During the year ended December 31, 2014, we processed two redemption requests for 10,008 Class A shares at a weighted average price of $12.23 per share, before allowing for the 2% short-term trading discount, and four redemption requests for 60,391 Class B shares at a weighted average price of $12.67 per share, before allowing for the 2% short-term trading discount. We funded these redemptions with cash flows from operations. There were no redemption requests for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our accounting policies have been established to conform with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to use judgment in the application of accounting policies, including making estimates and assumptions. These judgments affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. If management’s judgment or interpretation of the facts and circumstances relating to various transactions had been different, it is possible that different accounting policies would have been applied, thus resulting in a different presentation of the financial statements.

Table of Contents

Additionally, other companies may utilize different estimates that may impact the comparability of our results of operations to those of companies in similar businesses. We consider our critical accounting policies to be the policies that relate to the following concepts.

Real Estate Investments and Lease Intangibles

Real estate investments are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Buildings and improvements are depreciated utilizing the straight-line method over an estimated useful life of 20 to 40 years for industrial, retail and office properties, and 27.5 years for residential. Tenant improvements and lease commissions are amortized over the terms of the respective tenant leases. Furniture and equipment is depreciated over an estimated useful life ranging from 5 to 7 years.

In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 805, Business Combinations, and FASB ASC 350, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other, acquisitions of properties are accounted for utilizing the acquisition method and, accordingly, the results of operations of acquired properties will be included in our results of operations from their respective dates of acquisition. Estimates of future cash flows and other valuation techniques believed to be similar to those used by independent appraisers are used to allocate the purchase price of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed such as land, buildings and improvements, equipment and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities such as amounts related to in-place leases, acquired above- and below-market leases, tenant relationships, asset retirement obligations and mortgage notes payable. Values of buildings and improvements are determined on an as-if-vacant basis. Initial allocations are subject to change until such information is finalized, which may be no later than 12 months from the acquisition date.

The estimated fair value of acquired in-place leases are the costs we would have incurred to lease the properties to the occupancy level of the properties at the date of acquisition. Such estimates include the fair value of leasing commissions, legal costs and other direct costs that would be incurred to lease the properties to such occupancy levels. Additionally, we evaluate the time period over which such occupancy levels would be achieved. Such evaluation will include an estimate of the net market-based rental revenues and net operating costs (primarily consisting of forgone rents, real estate taxes, recoverable charges and insurance) that would be incurred during the lease-up period, which generally ranges up to one year. Acquired in-place leases as of the date of acquisition are amortized over the remaining lease terms into amortization expense.

Acquired above- and below-market lease values are estimated based on the present value (using an interest rate that reflects the risks associated with the lease acquired) of the difference between the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and our estimate of fair market value lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases. The capitalized above- and below-market lease values are amortized to rental revenue over the remaining terms of the respective leases, which include, for below-market leases, periods covered by bargain fixed-rate renewal options. If a lease is terminated prior to its scheduled expiration, the unamortized portion of the in-place lease is charged to amortization expense and the unamortized portion of the above- or below-market lease is charged to rental revenue.

The carrying value of the real estate investments are reviewed to ascertain if there are any indicators of impairment. Factors considered include the type of asset, the economic situation in the area in which the asset is located, the economic situation in the industry in which a tenant is involved and the timeliness of the payments made by a tenant under its lease, as well as any current correspondence that may have been had with a tenant, including property inspection reports. A real estate investment is impaired if the undiscounted cash flows over the expected hold period are less than the real estate investment’s carrying amount. In this case, an impairment loss will be recorded to the extent that the estimated fair value of the real estate investment is lower than its carrying amount. The estimated fair value is determined primarily using information contained within independent appraisals obtained quarterly by us from its independent valuation agent. Real estate investments that are expected to be disposed of are valued at the lower of carrying amount or estimated fair value less costs to sell.

Investments in Marketable Securities

In accordance with our investment guidelines as approved by our board of directors, investments in marketable securities may consist of common and preferred stock of publicly-traded REITs and other real estate operating companies. We determine the appropriate classification for these securities at the time of purchase and reevaluates such designation as of each balance sheet date. As of December 31, 2014, we classified our investments in marketable securities as available-for-sale as we intend to hold the securities for the purpose of collecting dividend income and for longer term price appreciation. These investments are carried at their estimated fair value based on published prices for each security. Unrealized gains and losses are reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss.

Table of Contents

Any non-temporary decline in the market value of an available-for-sale security below cost results in a reduction in the carrying amount to fair value. The impairment is charged to earnings and a new cost basis for the security is established. When a security is impaired, we consider whether we have the ability and intent to hold the investment for a time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in market value and consider whether evidence indicating the cost of the investment being recoverable outweighs evidence to the contrary. Evidence considered in this assessment includes the reasons for the impairment, the severity and duration of the impairment, changes in value subsequent to period end and forecasted performance of the investee.

Securities may be sold if we believe a security has attained its target maximum value or if other conditions exist whereby we believe that the value of its investment in a particular security has a larger than desired risk of declining. We consider many factors in determining whether to hold or sell a security, including, but not limited to, recent events specific to the issuer or industry, external credit ratings and recent changes in such ratings. Upon the sale of a particular security, the realized net gain or loss is computed assuming the shares with the highest cost are sold first.

Revenue Recognition

Rental revenue from real estate investments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related leases. The differences between rental revenue earned from real estate investments and amounts due under the respective lease agreements are amortized or accreted, as applicable, to deferred rent receivable. Rental revenue will also include amortization of above- and below-market leases. Revenues relating to lease termination fees will be recognized at the time that a tenant’s right to occupy the leased space is terminated and collectability is reasonably assured. Also included in rental revenue are tenant reimbursements of certain operating expenses and percentage rents determined in accordance with the terms of the lease agreements.

Organization and Offering Expenses

Organizational expenses and other expenses which do not qualify as offering costs are expensed as incurred from and after the commencement of operations. Offering costs are those costs incurred by the Company, RREEF America and its affiliates on behalf of the Company which relate directly to the Company’s activities of raising capital in the Offering, preparing for the Offering, the qualification and registration of the Offering, and the marketing and distribution of the Company’s shares. This includes, but is not limited to, accounting and legal fees, including the legal fees of SC Distributors, LLC, the dealer manager for the Offering (the “Dealer Manager”), costs for registration statement amendments and prospectus supplements, printing, mailing and distribution costs, filing fees, amounts to reimburse RREEF America as the Company’s advisor or its affiliates for the salaries of employees and other costs in connection with preparing supplemental sales literature, amounts to reimburse the Dealer Manager for amounts that it may pay to reimburse the bona fide due diligence expenses of any participating broker-dealers supported by detailed and itemized invoices, telecommunication costs, fees of the transfer agent, registrars, trustees, depositories and experts, the cost of educational conferences held by the Company (including the travel, meal and lodging costs of registered representatives of any participating broker-dealers), and attendance fees and cost reimbursement for employees of affiliates to attend retail seminars conducted by broker-dealers. Offering costs will be deferred and will be paid from the proceeds of the Offering. These costs will be treated as a reduction of the total proceeds. Total organization and offering costs incurred by the Company will not exceed 15% of the gross proceeds from the primary offering.

REIT Compliance and Income Taxes

We elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Code for the year ended December 31, 2013. In order to maintain our qualification as a REIT, we are required to, among other things, distribute as dividends at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the dividends-paid deduction and excluding net capital gains, to our stockholders and meet certain tests regarding the nature of our income and assets. As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to federal income tax to the extent our income meets certain criteria and we distribute our REIT taxable income to our stockholders. Even as a REIT, we may be subject to (1) certain state and local taxes on our income, property or net worth, and (2) federal income and excise taxes on undistributed income, if any income remains undistributed. Many of these requirements are highly technical and complex. We will monitor the business and transactions that may potentially impact our REIT status. If we were to fail to maintain our qualification as a REIT, we could be subject to federal income tax on our taxable income at regular corporate rates. We would not be able to deduct distributions paid to stockholders in any year in which we fail to qualify as a REIT. We would also be disqualified for the four taxable years following the year during which qualification was lost unless we are entitled to relief under specific statutory provisions.

Contractual Obligations

The following table presents our contractual obligations and commitments as of December 31, 2014. The table does not include commitments with respect to the expense payments made by our advisor under our expense support agreement, as neither the timing nor ultimate amount of future payments due on such commitments can be determined. Through December 31, 2014, our advisor has incurred $6,596,731 in expense payments. Also see Note 7 to our consolidated financial statements.



Contractual Obligation	Payment due by period
Contractual Obligation	Total		Less than 1 year		1-3 years		3-5 years		More than 5 years

(1) Excludes $1,129,897 of offering costs in excess of the 15% limitation contained in our advisory agreement based on the total proceeds raised in our primary offering through December 31, 2014. Although we may become obligated to repay all or a portion of this excess amount with additional capital raise, the annual amount of the repayments as reflected above will not change. Instead, the additional obligations will extend the total time period over which the repayments are made.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of December 31, 2014, we had no material off-balance sheet arrangements that had or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity or capital resources.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

In connection with our Regions line of credit, which has a variable interest rate, we are subject to market risk associated with changes in LIBOR. As of December 31, 2014, we had $48,400,000 outstanding under our Regions line of credit at 2.66%, representing approximately a 56.2% loan-to-cost ratio. At this balance, a change in the interest rate of 0.50% would result in a change in our interest expense of $242,000 per annum. In the future, we may be exposed to additional market risk associated with interest rate changes as a result of additional short-term debt, such as additional borrowings under our Regions line of credit, and long-term debt, which, in either case, may be used to maintain liquidity, fund capital expenditures and expand our investment portfolio. Market fluctuations in real estate financing may affect the availability and cost of funds needed to expand our investment portfolio. In addition, restrictions upon the availability of real estate financing or high interest rates for real estate loans could adversely affect our ability to dispose of real estate in the future. We will seek to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower our overall borrowing costs. We intend to manage market risk associated with our variable-rate financing by assessing our interest rate cash flow risk, through continually identifying and monitoring changes in interest rate exposures that may adversely impact expected future cash flows, and by evaluating hedging opportunities. We may use derivative financial instruments to hedge exposures to changes in interest rates on loans secured by our assets.

We will be exposed to credit risk, which is the risk that the counterparty will fail to perform under the terms of a derivative contract. If the fair value of a derivative contract is positive, the counterparty will owe us, which creates credit risk for us. If the fair value of a derivative contract is negative, we will owe the counterparty and, therefore, do not have credit risk. We will seek to minimize the credit risk in derivative instruments by entering into transactions with high-quality counterparties. We are not currently a party to any such derivative contracts.

We will be exposed to financial market risk with respect to our marketable securities portfolio. Financial market risk is the risk that we will incur economic losses due to adverse changes in equity security prices. Our exposure to changes in equity security prices is a result of our investment in these types of securities. Market prices are subject to fluctuation and, therefore, the amount realized in the subsequent sale of an investment may significantly differ from the reported market value. Fluctuation in the market prices of a security may result from any number of factors, including perceived changes in the underlying fundamental characteristics of the issuer, the relative price of alternative investments, interest rates, default rates and general market conditions. In addition, amounts realized in the sale of a particular security may be affected by the relative quantity of the security being

Table of Contents

sold. We do not currently engage in derivative or other hedging transactions to manage our security price risk. As of December 31, 2014, we owned $6,400,611 of marketable securities. While it is difficult to project what factors may affect the prices of equity securities and how much the effect might be, a 10% change in the value of the marketable securities we owned as of December 31, 2014 would result in a change of $640,061 to the unrealized gain on marketable securities.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As required by Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, we, under the supervision and with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Based on that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures, as of December 31, 2014, were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in this Annual Report on Form 10-K is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the rules and forms promulgated under the Exchange Act, and is accumulated and communicated to management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management’s Annual Reporting on Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act.

In connection with the preparation of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014. In making that assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control-Integrated Framework.

Based on its assessment, our management concluded that, as of December 31, 2014, our internal control over financial reporting was effective.

The rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission do not require, and this Annual Report on Form 10-K does not include, an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

No change occurred in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended December 31, 2014 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Audit Committee

Our board of directors has one permanent committee, the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee’s primary function is to assist our board of directors in fulfilling its responsibility to oversee the quality and integrity of our financial reporting and the audits of our financial statements. The Audit Committee is comprised of three of our independent directors, and its duties include the appointment, retention and oversight of our independent registered public accounting firm. Deborah H. McAneny, M. Peter Steil, Jr. and Charles H. Wurtzebach, each of whom meets the qualifications for audit committee independence under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"), have been appointed to serve as members of the Audit Committee. Dr. Wurtzebach serves as the Chairperson of the Audit Committee, and our board of directors has determined that Dr. Wurtzebach qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as that term is defined by SEC rules. The Audit Committee must have at least three members and be comprised solely of members of our board of directors that meet the independence criteria of our charter and the NYSE listing standards.

Our Code of Ethics is available on our website, www.rreefpropertytrust.com. Stockholders may also request a copy of the Code of Ethics, which will be provided without charge, by writing to RREEF Property Trust, Inc. at 345 Park Avenue, 26^th Floor, New York, New York 10154, Attention: Secretary.

ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Executive Compensation

We do not compensate our executive officers and have no employees as all of our day-to-day operations are managed by RREEF America, our advisor. Furthermore, we do not have any stock based compensation plans for our executive officers.

Director Compensation

Our board of directors is responsible for determining the form and amount of compensation that is paid to our independent directors. In addition, our executive officers may make recommendations regarding the compensation level for the independent directors and provide comparison data. Our board of directors periodically assesses the level of independent director compensation, taking into account the responsibilities and duties of the independent directors and the time required to perform those duties. In determining the level of independent director compensation, our board of directors attempts to be consistent with market practices, but does not set compensation at a level that would call into question the independent directors’ objectivity.

The following director compensation table sets forth the compensation paid to our independent directors in fiscal year 2014 for services to us. Directors who are not independent directors are not compensated by us for their service on our board of directors. All compensation was paid in cash.



Name	Fees Earned or Paid in Cash		Stock Awards(1)		Total
Deborah H. McAneny	$	55,250	$	—	$	55,250
Murray J. McCabe	54,500		—		54,500
M. Peter Steil, Jr.	55,500		—		55,500
Charles H. Wurtzebach, Ph. D.	63,000		—		63,000
Total	$	228,250	$	—	$	228,250


(1)	Each of our current independent directors will receive a grant of 5,000 Class B shares of restricted stock at the end of the first full calendar quarter following the date that we issued 12,500,000 shares in our Offering.

Cash Compensation

We compensated each of our independent directors with an annual retainer of $50,000, plus an additional retainer of $7,500 to the Chairman of the Audit Committee. We paid $1,000 for each board or board committee meeting the director attended in person and $250 for each meeting the director attended by telephone. In the event that there was a meeting of the board of directors and one or more committees thereof in a single day, the fees paid to each director were limited to $1,250 per day.

Table of Contents

All directors are reimbursed for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with attendance at board meetings. If a director is also one of our officers, we will not pay separate compensation for services rendered as a director.

Equity Plan Compensation

In addition, our board of directors approved the grant of shares of restricted stock to each of our independent directors under our independent directors’ compensation plan, which operates as a sub-plan of our long-term incentive plan, as described below. Under our independent directors compensation plan and subject to such plan’s conditions and restrictions, each of our current independent directors will receive an initial grant of 5,000 Class B shares of restricted stock, which we refer to as the “initial restricted stock grant,” at the end of the first full calendar quarter following the date that we issued 12,500,000 shares in our Offering. Each new independent director that subsequently joins the board will receive the initial restricted stock grant on the date he or she joins the board. The initial restricted stock grant will generally vest in equal installments over a three-year period beginning on the first anniversary of the grant date; provided, however, that the restricted stock will become fully vested on the earlier occurrence of (1) the termination of the independent director’s service as a director due to his or her death or disability or (2) a change in control of our company. The board of directors may approve, at its discretion, an additional award of Class B shares of restricted stock upon an independent director’s subsequent re-election to the board, subject to such terms and conditions as provided by the board at such time.

Our board of directors has adopted a long-term incentive plan, which we use to attract and retain directors, officers, employees and consultants. Our incentive plan offers qualified individuals an opportunity to participate in our growth through awards in the form of, or based on, our common stock. The incentive plan authorizes the granting of restricted stock, stock options, restricted or deferred stock units and other stock-based awards and cash-based awards to directors, employees and consultants of ours selected by the board of directors for participation in the incentive plan. Stock options may not have an exercise price that is less than the fair market value of a share of our common stock on the date of grant and may not have a term in excess of ten years from the grant date.

Our board of directors or a committee appointed by our board of directors administers the incentive plan, with sole authority to determine all of the terms and conditions of the awards. No awards will be granted under the incentive plan if the grant or vesting of the awards would jeopardize our status as a REIT under the Code or otherwise violate the ownership and transfer restrictions imposed under our charter. Unless otherwise determined by our board of directors, no award granted under the incentive plan will be transferable except through the laws of descent and distribution.

Our board of directors has authorized and reserved an aggregate maximum number of 300,000 Class B shares for issuance under the incentive plan. However, no awards shall be granted under the incentive plan on any date on which the aggregate number of shares subject to awards previously issued under the incentive plan, together with the proposed awards to be granted on such date, exceeds 2% of the number of outstanding shares of common stock on such date. In the event of a transaction between our company and our stockholders that causes the per-share value of our common stock to change (including, without limitation, a stock dividend, stock split, spin-off, rights offering or large nonrecurring cash dividend), the share authorization limits under the incentive plan will be adjusted proportionately and our board of directors will make adjustments to the incentive plan and awards as it deems necessary, in its sole discretion, to prevent dilution or enlargement of rights immediately resulting from the transaction. In the event of a stock split, a stock dividend or a combination or consolidation of the outstanding shares of common stock into a lesser number of shares, the authorization limits under the incentive plan will automatically be adjusted proportionately and the shares then subject to each award will automatically be adjusted proportionately without any change in the aggregate purchase price.

Our board of directors may, in its sole discretion at any time, determine that all or a portion of a participant’s awards will become fully vested. The board may discriminate among participants or among awards in exercising its discretion. The incentive plan will automatically expire on the tenth anniversary of the date on which it was approved by our board of directors and stockholders, unless extended or earlier terminated by the board of directors. Our board of directors may terminate the incentive plan at any time. The expiration or other termination of the incentive plan will not, without the participant’s consent, have an adverse impact on any award that is outstanding at

Table of Contents

the time the incentive plan expires or is terminated. Our board of directors may amend the incentive plan at any time, but no amendment will adversely affect any award without the participant’s consent and no amendment to the incentive plan will be effective without the approval of our stockholders if such approval is required by any law, regulation or rule applicable to the incentive plan.

Compensation Committee

We do not have a compensation committee because we do not compensate our executive officers or non-independent directors. Recommendations with respect to compensation of our independent directors are made by our board of directors

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

We currently do not have a compensation committee of our board of directors because we do not pay, or plan to pay, any compensation to our officers, and as noted above we have no employees. There are no interlocks or insider participation as to compensation decisions required to be disclosed pursuant to SEC regulations.

The following describes all transactions during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 and currently proposed transactions involving us, our directors, our advisor, our sponsor and any affiliate thereof.

Ownership Interests

Table of Contents

RREEF America has invested an aggregate of $10.2 million through purchases of shares of our Class B common stock. As of March 10, 2015, our executive officers and independent directors, as a group, own no shares of our Class A common stock and 38,062 shares of Class B common stock.

Our Relationship with Our Advisor and Our Sponsor

We are externally advised and managed by our sponsor and advisor, RREEF America, which is responsible for the management, acquisition, disposal, leasing, maintenance and operating of all our real estate investments.

	Ÿ		calculate, at the end of each business day, the Class A NAV per share and Class B NAV per share in accordance with the valuation guidelines, and in connection therewith, obtain appraisals performed by the independent valuation advisor and other independent third-party appraisal firms concerning the value of the real properties; provided, however, that effective February 2, 2015, BNY Mellon will, under the supervision of our advisor, calculate, at the end of each business day, the Class A NAV per share and Class B NAV per share in accordance our valuation guidelines;

	Ÿ		dispose of properties on our behalf in compliance with our investment objectives, strategies and policies.

Advisory Fee

Pursuant to the advisory agreement, we pay RREEF America an advisory fee comprised of two separate components:



	(1)	a fixed component in an amount equal to 1/365th of 1.0% of our NAV for each class of our common stock (Class A and Class B) for each day, payable monthly in arrears; and



	(2)	a performance component calculated based on the total return of each class of our common stock (Class A and Class B) in any calendar year, payable annually.

The fixed component of the advisory fee will accrue on a daily basis. The fixed component will not be earned and, therefore, will not begin to accrue until the date on which our combined NAV for both classes of shares has reached $50,000,000. Our combined NAV for both classes of shares first exceeded $50,000,000 during January 2015. The performance component will be calculated such that for any calendar year in which the total return per share for a particular class exceeds 6% per annum, which we refer to as the “6% return,” our advisor will receive 25% of the excess total return above the 6% return; provided that in no event will the performance component exceed 10% of the aggregate total return for such year. The total return to stockholders is defined for each class of common stock as the change in NAV per share for such class plus distributions per share for such class. However, in the event the our NAV per share for any class of common stock decreases below $12.00, the performance component will not be earned on any increase in NAV up to $12.00 per share with respect to that class.

Expense Reimbursements

Table of Contents

Under the advisory agreement, RREEF America is entitled to reimbursement of certain costs incurred by RREEF America or its affiliates that are not incurred under the third amended expense support agreement, as discussed below. Costs eligible for reimbursement, if they are not incurred under the third amended expense support agreement, include most third-party operating expenses, salaries and related costs of its employees who perform services for us (but not those employees for which RREEF America earns a separate fee or those employees who are our executive officers) and travel related costs for its employees who incur such costs on our behalf. We will reimburse our advisor for all expenses paid or incurred by our advisor in connection with the services provided to us, subject to the limitations described below under the heading “2%/25% Guidelines." As of December 31, 2014, we owed our advisor for $36,155 of such costs.

Organization and Offering Costs

Under the advisory agreement, RREEF America agreed to pay all of our organization and offering costs incurred through January 3, 2013. In addition, RREEF America agreed to pay certain of our organization and offering costs from January 3, 2013 through January 3, 2014 that were incurred in connection with certain offering related activities. In total, RREEF America incurred $4,618,318 of this Deferred O&O on behalf of us or our operating partnership from our inception through January 3, 2014. Pursuant to the advisory agreement, in January 2014, we began reimbursing RREEF America monthly for the Deferred O&O on a straight-line basis over 60 months. For the year ended December 31, 2014, we reimbursed RREEF America $918,099 for Deferred O&O.

Expense Support Agreement

On May 29, 2013, we entered into an expense support agreement with our advisor, as most recently amended and restated on December 16, 2014, or the third amended expense support agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the third amended expense support agreement, our advisor has agreed to defer reimbursement of certain expenses related to our operations that our advisor has incurred, and will continue to incur which we refer to as “expense payments.” These expense payments include, without limitation, expenses that are organizational and offering expenses and operating expenses under our advisory agreement. The third amended expense support agreement provided for limits on the expense payments that may be incurred by our advisor and for the terms of the deferred reimbursement of the expense payments by us to our advisor.

Pursuant to the third amended expense support agreement, our advisor may incur expense payments until the earlier of (1) the date we have surpassed $200 million in aggregate gross proceeds from our Offering, which we refer to as the “gross proceeds limit,” or (2) the date the aggregate expense payments by our advisor exceed $9.2 million, which we refer to as the “expense payment limit.” We will continue to incur and pay certain fees and property level expenses (inclusive of acquisition related expenses and interest expense on borrowed funds secured by properties). In addition, commencing with the fourth calendar quarter of 2014, we, as opposed to our advisor, began to incur and pay certain operating expenses, subject to certain limits, which operating expenses will not be treated as expense payments and for which we will not be entitled to reimbursement from our advisor. As of December 31, 2014, our advisor had made an aggregate of $6,596,731 in expense payments.

Pursuant to the third amended expense support agreement, following the date that the expense payment limit or the gross proceeds limit is reached, (1) our advisor will cease incurring expense payments, and (2) thereafter, any organizational and offering expenses and operating expenses incurred by our advisor on our behalf or on behalf of our operating partnership will be subject to reimbursement by us to our advisor on no less than a monthly basis pursuant to the terms of our advisory agreement, subject to the limits set forth in our advisory agreement, as applicable. Commencing with the first calendar quarter of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which either the expense payment limit or the gross proceeds limit is reached, within the first 30 calendar days of such first calendar quarter and within the first 30 days of each subsequent calendar quarter, we will pay to our advisor an amount, subject to certain limitations and subject to increase in accordance with the third amended expense support agreement, equal to the lesser of (1) $250,000 and (2) the aggregate amount of all expense payments made by our advisor prior to the last day of the previous calendar quarter that have not been previously reimbursed by us to our advisor, until the aggregate of all expense payments have been reimbursed by us. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we may, in our sole discretion, reimburse our advisor for all or any portion of the expense payments at any time in advance.

Through December 31, 2014, we have made no reimbursements to RREEF America under the third amended expense support agreement.

Table of Contents

Term and Termination Rights under the Advisory Agreement

Our advisory agreement has a one-year term expiring January 3, 2016, subject to an unlimited number of successive one-year renewals upon mutual consent of the parties. The advisory agreement may be terminated (1) immediately by us for “cause,” upon the bankruptcy of our advisor, (2) at the option of either party upon a change of control, (3) upon 60 days’ written notice by us without cause or penalty upon the vote of a majority of our independent directors or (4) upon 60 days’ written notice by our advisor. If we terminate the advisory agreement, we will pay our advisor all unpaid advances for operating expenses pursuant to the reimbursement schedule described above and all earned but unpaid fees.

2%/25% Guidelines

As described above, our advisor is entitled to reimbursement of certain expenses. However, we will not reimburse our advisor at the end of any fiscal quarter for “total operating expenses” that for the four consecutive fiscal quarters then ended, or the “expense year,” exceeded the greater of (1) 2% of our average invested assets or (2) 25% of our net income, collectively the “2%/25% Guidelines”. Our advisor must reimburse us for any amounts by which our total operating expenses exceed the 2%/25% Guidelines in the expense year, unless our independent directors have determined that such excess expenses were justified based on unusual and non-recurring factors.

For purposes of these limits, (1) “total operating expenses” are our aggregate expenses of every character paid or incurred as determined under GAAP, including the advisory fee, but excluding: (a) the expenses of raising capital such as organization and offering expenses, legal, audit, accounting, underwriting, brokerage, listing, registration and other fees, printing and other such expenses, and tax incurred in connection with the issuance, distribution, transfer and registration of our shares; (b) interest payments; (c) taxes; (d) non-cash expenditures such as depreciation, amortization and bad debt reserves; (e) reasonable incentive fees based on the gain in the sale of our assets; and (f) acquisition fees, acquisition expenses, brokerage fees on resale of properties and other expenses connected with the acquisition, disposition, management and ownership of real estate interests, mortgage loans or other property (including the costs of foreclosure, insurance premiums, legal services, maintenance, repair and improvement of property); (2) “average invested assets” is the average of the aggregate book value of our assets (other than intangibles) invested, directly or indirectly, in real estate and other real estate related assets, before deducting depreciation, bad debts or other non-cash reserves, computed by taking the average of such values at the end of each month during the period; and (3) “net income” is our total revenues less our total expenses excluding reserves for depreciation, bad debts and other similar non-cash reserves. For the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, our total operating expenses were 3.8% and 9.3%, respectively, of our average invested assets and 333.5% and -127.8%, respectively, of our net income.

Selling Commissions and Fees Paid to the Dealer Manager

SC Distributors, LLC (the “Dealer Manager”), is the dealer manager for our Offering. The Dealer Manager coordinates our distribution effort and manages our relationships with participating broker-dealers and provides assistance in connection with compliance matters relating to marketing the Offering. The selling commissions and other fees that we pay to the Dealer Manager are set forth below.


•	A selling commission of up to 3.0% of the NAV per Class A share on the date of purchase. We do not pay selling commissions with respect to purchases of Class B shares or shares of either class sold pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan. All or a portion of the selling commission may be reallowed to participating broker-dealers.

•

Conflicts of Interest with RREEF America and its Affiliates

Conflicts of interest may arise between RREEF America, as our advisor and sponsor, and us with respect to our management. It is anticipated that the officers and employees of RREEF America will devote as much time to us as necessary to effectively manage our operations. RREEF America and its affiliates engage in a broad spectrum of activities including financial advisory activities, and have extensive investment activities that are independent from, and may from time to time conflict with, our investment activities. In the future, there might arise instances where the interests of RREEF America conflict with our interests and/or the interests of our stockholders. Subject to specified exceptions, our advisor may engage in transactions with, provide services to, invest in, advise, sponsor and/or act as investment manager to portfolio companies, investment vehicles and other persons or entities (including our prospective investors) that may have similar structures and investment objectives and policies to ours and that may compete with us for investment opportunities. RREEF America, its affiliates and their respective clients may invest in investments that would be appropriate for us and may compete with us for such investment opportunities and may invest in investments that are senior or junior to, or have rights and interests different from or adverse to, our investment opportunities. RREEF America’s interests in such investments may conflict with our interests in related investments at the time of origination or in the event of default or work out of the investment.

In order to reduce or eliminate certain potential conflicts of interest, our charter and our Advisory Agreement contain restrictions and conflict resolution procedures relating to transactions we enter into with our advisor, our directors or their respective affiliates. Each of the restrictions and procedures that apply to transactions with our advisor and its affiliates will also apply to any transaction with any entity or real estate program controlled by our advisor and its affiliates. As a general rule, any related party transaction must be approved by a majority of the directors (including a majority of independent directors) not otherwise interested in the transaction. In determining whether to approve or authorize a particular related party transaction, these persons will consider whether the transaction between us and the related party is fair and reasonable to us and has terms and conditions no less favorable to us than those available from unaffiliated third parties.

RREEF America will allocate investment opportunities suitable for us or for other persons, including RREEF America or an affiliate of RREEF America or an account managed or advised by RREEF America or an affiliate of RREEF America, in accordance with an equitable and reasonable allocation procedure consistent with RREEF America’s fiduciary duty to us and with due regard to our investment objectives and the characteristics of the specific investment. When RREEF America identifies a real estate investment opportunity, it will present the opportunity to the program or account which it advises or manages that has the highest priority position on the rotation priority list, but only if the investment opportunity is suitable for the program or account. The criteria considered in determining whether an opportunity is suitable include the risk profile and portfolio diversification objectives of the program or account and the intensity of management that the property will require.

We have also adopted a Code of Ethics that applies to our officers and directors, each of which we refer to as “covered person”. The Code of Ethics sets forth certain conflicts of interest policies that limit and govern certain matters among us, the covered persons, our advisor and their respective affiliates.

Director Independence

Although our shares are not listed for trading on any national securities exchange, our board of directors has determined that a majority of the members of our board of directors, and all of the members of the audit committee, are “independent” as defined by the NYSE. The NYSE standards provide that to qualify as an independent director, in addition to satisfying certain bright-line criteria, the board of directors must affirmatively determine that a director has no material relationship with us (either directly or as a partner, stockholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with us).

In addition, our board of directors determined that these directors are independent pursuant to the definition of independence in our charter, as required by the North American Securities Administrators Association's Statement of Policy Regarding Real Estate Investment Trusts, as revised and adopted on May 7, 2007, or the NASAA REIT Guidelines. Our charter provides that an independent director is a director who is not and has not for the last two years been associated, directly or indirectly, with our advisor or sponsor. A director is deemed to be associated with our advisor or sponsor if he or she owns any interest in, is employed by, is an officer or director of, or has any material business or

Table of Contents

professional relationship with our advisor, our sponsor, or any of their affiliates, performs services (other than as a director) for us, or serves as a director or trustee for more than three REITs organized by our sponsor or advised by our advisor. A business or professional relationship will be deemed material per se if the gross revenue derived by the director from our sponsor, our advisor, and any of their affiliates exceeds five percent of (1) the director’s annual gross revenue derived from all sources during either of the last two years or (2) the director's net worth on a fair market value basis. An indirect relationship is defined to include circumstances in which the director's spouse, parents, children, siblings, mothers- or fathers-in-law, sons- or daughters-in-law or brothers- or sisters-in-law is or has been associated with us, our advisor, our sponsor or any of their affiliates. Our charter requires that at all times at least one of our independent directors must have at least three years of relevant real estate experience.

Our board of directors has determined that each of Murray J. McCabe, Deborah H. McAneny, M. Peter Steil, Jr., and Charles H. Wurtzebach, Ph.D. are independent directors pursuant to our charter and the definition of independence as defined by the NYSE.

Review of Our Policies

Our board of directors, including our Independent Directors, has reviewed our policies described in this Annual Report and our registration statement related to our Offering, as well as other policies previously reviewed and approved by our board of directors, and determined that they are in the best interests of our stockholders because: (1) they increase the likelihood that we will be able to acquire a diversified portfolio of income producing properties, thereby reducing risk in our portfolio; (2) there are sufficient property acquisition opportunities with the attributes that we seek; (3) our executive officers, directors and affiliates of our advisor have expertise with the type of real estate investments we seek; (4) borrowings should enable us to purchase assets and earn rental income more quickly; and (5) best practices corporate governance and high ethical standards help promote our long-term performance, thereby increasing our likelihood of generating income for our stockholders and preserving stockholder capital.

Currently Proposed Transactions

There are no currently proposed material transactions with related persons other than those covered by the terms of the agreements described above.

ITEM 14. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING FEES AND SERVICES

Tax fees	25,000		29,257
All other fees	—		—
Total	$	413,000	$	257,057

Audit fees. The audit fees listed above relate to professional services rendered for the audit of our annual financial statements contained in our annual report, audits of acquired properties, reviews of the financial statements included in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10‑Q, and services that are normally provided by independent auditors in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements and other services that generally only the independent auditor reasonably can provide, such as services associated with filing registration statements, periodic reports and other filings with the SEC.

Audit-related fees. The audit-related fees listed above relate to professional services rendered for assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit of our financial statements (other than the audit fees described above).

Tax fees. These are fees for all professional services performed by professional staff in our independent auditor’s tax division, except those services related to the audit of our financial statements. These include fees for tax compliance, tax planning and tax advice, including federal, state and local issues. Services may also include assistance with tax audits and appeals before the IRS and similar state and local agencies, as well as federal, state and local tax issues related to due diligence.

All other fees. None identified.

Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

Our audit committee charter imposes a duty on our Audit Committee to pre-approve all audit services and permissible non-audit services to be provided to us by our independent auditor in order to ensure that the provision of such services does not impair our auditors' independence. Our Audit Committee must also review and approve in advance any proposal from RREEF America, and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with RREEF America, that provides ongoing services to us (a “Service Affiliate”) or employs the independent auditor to render non-audit services, if such engagement would relate directly to our operations and financial reporting. As a part of its review, our Audit Committee will consider whether the provision of such services impacts the auditors’ independence.

Our Audit Committee may delegate to one or more of its members (each, a “Delegate”) authority to pre-approve the independent auditor’s provision of audit services or permissible non-audit services to us, or the provision of non-audit services to RREEF America or a Service Affiliate. Any pre-approval determination made by a Delegate shall be presented to the full Audit Committee at its next meeting. Our Audit Committee will communicate any pre-approval made by it or a Delegate to RREEF America or a Service Affiliate, who will ensure that the appropriate disclosure is made in our periodic reports and other documents as required under the federal securities laws.

Since January 1, 2013, all audit and non-audit services performed by KPMG for us, RREEF America and any Service Affiliates that required the pre-approval of our Audit Committee were pre-approved by the Audit Committee.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Stockholders

RREEF Property Trust, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of RREEF Property Trust, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the years then ended and stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended and the period from February 7, 2012 (inception) through December 31, 2012. In connection with our audits of the consolidated financial statements, we have also audited the financial statement schedule III, real estate and accumulated depreciation. These consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule III are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule III based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of RREEF Property Trust, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 and the results of their operations for the years then ended and their cash flows for the years then ended and the period from February 7, 2012 (inception) through December 31, 2012, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule III, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2014

NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION

RREEF Property Trust, Inc. (the “Company”) was formed on February 7, 2012 as a Maryland corporation and has elected to qualify as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for federal income tax purposes. On February 14, 2012, RREEF America L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (“RREEF America”), the Company's sponsor and advisor, purchased 16,667 shares of the Company’s Class B common stock for a total cash consideration of $200,000 to provide the Company’s initial capitalization. Substantially all of the Company's business will be conducted through RREEF Property Operating Partnership, LP, the Company's operating partnership (the “Operating Partnership”). The Company is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership and contributed $199,000 to the Operating Partnership in exchange for its general partner interest. RREEF Property OP Holder, LLC (the “OP Holder”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and the initial limited partner of the Operating Partnership, contributed $1,000 to the Operating Partnership. As the Company completes the settlement for purchase orders for shares of its common stock in its continuous public offering, it will continue to transfer substantially all of the net proceeds of the offering to the Operating Partnership.

The Company was organized to invest primarily in a diversified portfolio consisting primarily of high quality, income-producing commercial real estate located in the United States, including, without limitation, office, industrial, retail and multifamily properties (“Real Estate Properties”). Although the Company intends to invest primarily in Real Estate Properties, it also intends to acquire common and preferred stock of REITs and other real estate companies (“Real Estate Equity Securities”) and debt investments backed principally by real estate (“Real Estate Loans” and, together with Real Estate Equity Securities, “Real Estate-Related Assets”).

The Company is offering to the public, pursuant to a registration statement on form S-11 (File No. 333-180356) filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Registration Statement"), up to $2,250,000,000 of shares of its common stock in its primary offering and up to $250,000,000 of shares of its common stock to its stockholders pursuant to its distribution reinvestment plan (the “Offering”). The Company is offering to the public two classes of shares of its common stock, Class A shares and Class B shares. The Company is offering to sell any combination of Class A and Class B shares with a dollar value up to the maximum offering amount. The Company may reallocate the shares offered between the primary offering and the distribution reinvestment plan. On January 3, 2013, the Offering was initially declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission. On May 30, 2013, RREEF America purchased $10,000,000 of the Company's Class B shares in the Offering, and the Company’s board of directors authorized the release of the escrowed funds to the Company, thereby allowing the Company to commence operations.

Shares of the Company’s common stock are being sold at the Company’s net asset value (“NAV”) per share, plus, for Class A shares only, applicable selling commissions. Each class of shares may have a different NAV per share because of certain class specific fees and expenses, such as the distribution fee. NAV per share is calculated by dividing the NAV at the end of each business day for each class by the number of shares outstanding for that class on such day. The Company will not sell any shares to Pennsylvania investors unless it has received purchase orders for at least $75,000,000 (including purchase orders received from residents of other jurisdictions) in any combination of Class A shares and Class B shares from persons not affiliated with the Company or RREEF America.

The Company's NAV per share for its Class A and Class B shares is posted to the Company's website at www.rreefpropertytrust.com after the stock market close each business day. Additionally, the Company's NAV per share is published daily via NASDAQ's Mutual Fund Quotation System under the symbols ZRPTAX and ZRPTBX for its Class A shares and Class B shares, respectively.

NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), the authoritative reference for U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). There have been no significant changes to the Company's significant accounting policies during the year ended December 31, 2014.

The Company commenced operations on May 30, 2013. As a result, for the period February 7, 2012 (inception) through December 31, 2012, the Company did not recognize revenues or expenses of any kind. Accordingly, the consolidated statements of operations and the consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the period February 7, 2012 (inception) through December 31, 2012 have not been included within these consolidated financial statements.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents may include cash and short-term investments. Short-term investments are stated at cost, which approximates fair value and may consist of investments in money market accounts. There are no restrictions on the use of the Company’s cash balance.

Real Estate Investments and Lease Intangibles

In accordance with FASB ASC 805, Business Combinations, and FASB ASC 350, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other, acquisitions of properties are accounted for utilizing the acquisition method and, accordingly, the results of operations of acquired properties will be included in the Company’s results of operations from their respective dates of acquisition. Estimates of future cash flows and other valuation techniques believed to be similar to those used by independent appraisers are used to allocate the purchase price of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed such as land, buildings and improvements, equipment and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities such as amounts related to in-place leases, acquired above- and below-market leases, tenant relationships, asset retirement obligations and mortgage notes payable. Values of buildings and improvements are determined on an as-if-vacant basis. Initial allocations are subject to change until such information is finalized, which may be no later than 12 months from the acquisition date.

The estimated fair value of acquired in-place leases are the costs the Company would have incurred to lease the properties to the occupancy level of the properties at the date of acquisition. Such estimates include the fair value of leasing commissions, legal costs and other direct costs that would be incurred to lease the properties to such occupancy levels. Additionally, the Company evaluates the time period over which such occupancy levels would be achieved. Such evaluation will include an estimate of the net market-based rental revenues and net operating costs (primarily consisting of forgone rents, real estate taxes, recoverable charges and insurance) that would be incurred during the lease-up period, which generally ranges up to one year. Acquired in-place leases as of the date of acquisition are amortized over the remaining lease terms into amortization expense.

F - 9

Table of Contents

RREEF PROPERTY TRUST, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued

December 31, 2014

Acquired above- and below-market lease values are estimated based on the present value (using an interest rate that reflects the risks associated with the lease acquired) of the difference between the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and the Company’s estimate of fair market value lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases. The capitalized above- and below-market lease values are amortized to rental revenue over the remaining terms of the respective leases, which include, for below-market leases, periods covered by bargain fixed-rate renewal options if, at the time of acquisition, the exercise of such renewal options are determined to be reasonably assured. If a lease is terminated prior to its scheduled expiration, the unamortized portion of the in-place lease is charged to amortization expense and the unamortized portion of the above- or below-market lease is charged to rental revenue.

The carrying value of the real estate investments are reviewed to ascertain if there are any indicators of impairment. Factors considered include the type of asset, the economic situation in the area in which the asset is located, the economic situation in the industry in which a tenant is involved and the timeliness of the payments made by a tenant under its lease, as well as any current correspondence that may have been had with a tenant, including property inspection reports. A real estate investment is impaired if the undiscounted cash flows over the expected hold period are less than the real estate investment’s carrying amount. In this case, an impairment loss will be recorded to the extent that the estimated fair value is lower than the real estate investment’s carrying amount. The estimated fair value is determined primarily using information contained within independent appraisals obtained quarterly by the Company from its independent valuation agent. Real estate investments that are expected to be disposed of are valued at the lower of carrying amount or estimated fair value less costs to sell. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, none of the Company's real estate investments were impaired.

Investments in Marketable Securities

In accordance with the Company’s investment guidelines as approved by the Company’s board of directors, investments in marketable securities may consist of common and preferred stock of publicly-traded REITs and other real estate operating companies. The Company determines the appropriate classification for these securities at the time of purchase and reevaluates such designation as of each balance sheet date. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company classified its investments in marketable securities as available-for-sale as the Company intends to hold the securities for the purpose of collecting dividend income and for longer term price appreciation. These investments are carried at their estimated fair value based on published prices for each security. Unrealized gains and losses are reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

Any non-temporary decline in the market value of an available-for-sale security below cost results in a reduction in the carrying amount to fair value. The impairment is charged to earnings and a new cost basis for the security is established. When a security is impaired, the Company considers whether it has the ability and intent to hold the investment for a time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in market value and considers whether evidence indicating the cost of the investment being recoverable outweighs evidence to the contrary. Evidence considered in this assessment includes the reasons for the impairment, the severity and duration of the impairment, changes in value subsequent to period end and forecasted performance of the investee.

Securities may be sold if the Company believes a security has attained its target maximum value or if other conditions exist whereby the Company believes that the value of its investment in a particular security has a larger than desired risk of declining. The Company considers many factors in determining whether to hold or sell a security, including, but not limited to, recent events specific to the issuer or industry, external credit ratings and recent changes in such ratings. Upon the sale of a particular security, the realized net gain or loss is computed assuming the shares with the highest cost are sold first.

Deferred Financing Costs

Deferred financing costs are the direct costs associated with obtaining financing. Such costs include commitment fees, legal fees and other third-party costs associated with obtaining commitments for financing that result in a closing of such financing. The Company capitalizes these costs and amortizes them on a straight-line basis, which approximates the effective interest method, over the terms of the obligations, once the loan process is

F - 10

Table of Contents

RREEF PROPERTY TRUST, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued

December 31, 2014

completed. Amortization of deferred financing costs is included in interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations.

Borrowings

The Company may obtain various forms of borrowings from market participants. Generally, borrowings originated by the Company will be recorded at amortized cost. The Company may also assume borrowings in connection with acquisitions. The Company will estimate the fair value of assumed borrowings based upon indications of then-current market pricing for similar types of debt with similar maturities. The assumed borrowings will initially be recorded at their estimated fair value as of the assumption date, with the difference between such estimated fair value and the borrowings’ outstanding principal balance being amortized over the remaining life of the borrowing.

Revenue Recognition

Investment income from marketable securities is accrued at the time the income becomes payable to the Company.

Organization and Offering Expenses

Income Taxes

The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), beginning with the year ended December 31, 2013. In order to maintain the Company’s qualification as a REIT, the Company is required to, among other things, distribute as dividends at least 90% of the Company’s REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the dividends-paid deduction and excluding net capital gains, to the Company’s stockholders, and meet certain tests regarding the nature of the Company’s income and assets. If the Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to federal income tax to the extent it meets certain criteria and distributes its REIT taxable income to its

F - 11

Table of Contents

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued

December 31, 2014

stockholders. Even if the Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT, the Company may be subject to (1) certain state and local taxes on its income, property or net worth, and (2) federal income and excise taxes on its undistributed income, if any income remains undistributed. The Company intends to operate in a manner that allows the Company to meet the requirements for taxation as a REIT, including creating taxable REIT subsidiaries to hold assets that generate income that would not be consistent with the rules applicable to qualification as a REIT if held directly by the REIT. If the Company were to fail to meet these requirements, it could be subject to federal income tax on the Company’s taxable income at regular corporate rates. The Company would not be able to deduct distributions paid to stockholders in any year in which it fails to qualify as a REIT. The Company will also be disqualified for the four taxable years following the year during which qualification was lost unless the Company is entitled to relief under specific statutory provisions.

Reportable Segments

The Company intends to operate in three primary segments: (1) Real Estate Properties, (2) Real Estate Equity

Securities, and (3) Real Estate Loans.

Concentration of Credit Risk

As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company had cash on deposit at multiple financial institutions which were in excess of federally insured levels. The Company limits significant cash holdings to accounts held by financial institutions with a high credit standing. Therefore, the Company believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on its cash deposits.

As of December 31, 2014, the Company owned five properties housing thirteen tenants. As of December 31, 2013, the Company owned two properties housing six tenants. Percentages of gross rental revenues by location and tenant representing more than 10% of the Company's total gross rental revenues for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 are shown below.

Correction of a Prior Period Misstatement

During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company identified certain errors to prior periods in 2013 related to amounts presented in the consolidated statement of cash flows for business combinations. The Company concluded the errors had no impact on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations and consolidated balance sheet for the relevant 2013 periods and were not material to any prior period consolidated financial statements. The Company corrected the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2013 to reclassify assets acquired and liabilities assumed related to business combinations by reducing the cash paid for investment in real estate and related assets by $156,136 in the investing activities section and increasing the change in other liabilities by $156,136 in the operating activities section. Additionally, the Company included the comparative non-cash disclosure to reconcile the purchase price to the cash paid for investment in real estate and related assets.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications to prior period amounts have been made to conform to the current period presentation. For the year ended December 31, 2013, $64,384 was reclassified from the change in receivables to the adjustment for straight line rent in the operating activities section on the consolidated statement of cash flows.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

On April 10, 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity. ASU 2014-08 amends the definition of what qualifies as discontinued operations to disposals of assets, assets held for sale, or abandoned assets which represent a major strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results. In addition, ASU 2014-08 may modify an entity's presentation of held for sale assets in prior periods. Further, ASU 2014-08 contains some disclosure changes. ASU 2014-08 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2015, and is not expected to have an effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

On May 28, 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue From Contracts With Customers. ASU 2014-09 requires entities to recognize revenue in their financial statements in a manner that depicts the transfer of the promised goods or services to its customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity is entitled at the time of transfer of those goods or services. As a result, the amount and timing of revenue recognition may be affected. However, certain types of contracts are excluded from the provisions of ASU 2014-09, including leases. Presently, the Company's rental and other property income and tenant reimbursement income as reflected on

the Company's consolidated statements of operations are the result of lease contracts and as such, are not within the scope of ASU 2014-09. However, other types of real estate related contracts, such as for dispositions or development of real estate, may be impacted by ASU 2014-09. In addition, ASU 2014-09 requires additional disclosures regarding revenue recognition. ASU 2014-09 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2017. The Company has not yet evaluated the impact of ASU 2014-09 on its consolidated financial statements.

On August 27, 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. ASU 2014-15 provides guidance on determining when and how to disclose going concern uncertainties in an entity's financial statements. The new standard requires management to perform interim and annual assessments of the likelihood the entity will be unable to meet its obligations as they come due for a period of one year beyond the date the financial statements are issued. An entity must provide certain disclosures if there is substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to meet those obligations. The ASU applies to all entities and is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods thereafter, with early adoption permitted. The Company has not yet evaluated the impact of ASU 2014-15 on its consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 3 — FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair value measurements are determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures, establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs that are classified within Levels 1 and 2 of the hierarchy) and the reporting entity's own assumptions about market participant assumptions (unobservable inputs classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy).

Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs may include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, as well as inputs that are observable for the asset or liability (other than quoted prices), such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals. Level 3 inputs are the unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, which are typically based on an entity's own assumption, as there is little, if any, related market activity. In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on input from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company's assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

The Company's investments in marketable securities are valued using Level 1 inputs as the securities are publicly traded on major stock exchanges.

FASB ASC 825-10-65-1 requires the Company to disclose fair value information for all financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate fair value, whether or not recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. Fair value of lines of credit and loans payable is determined using Level 2 inputs and a discounted cash flow approach with an interest rate and other assumptions that approximate current market conditions. The carrying amount of the Company's Regions line of credit at December 31, 2014 and at December 31, 2013 approximated its fair value.

The Company's financial instruments, other than the Regions line of credit, are generally short-term in nature and contain minimal credit risk. These instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts and other receivables and accounts payable. The carrying amounts of these assets and liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets approximate their fair value.

NOTE 5 — MARKETABLE SECURITIES

The following is a summary of the Company's marketable securities held as of December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, which consisted entirely of publicly-traded shares of common stock in REITs as of each date. All marketable securities held as of December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 were available-for-sale securities and none were considered impaired on an other-than-temporary basis.

Upon the sale of a particular security, the realized net gain or loss is computed assuming the shares with the highest cost are sold first. During the year ended December 31, 2014, marketable securities sold generated proceeds of $3,641,057 resulting in gross realized gains of $169,692 and gross realized losses of $77,855. During the year ended December 31, 2013, marketable securities sold generated proceeds of $2,415,668 resulting in gross realized gains of $35,197 and gross realized losses of $121,021.

NOTE 6 — LINE OF CREDIT

On May 1, 2013, the Operating Partnership, as borrower, and the Company, as guarantor, entered into a secured revolving line of credit arrangement (the “Regions Line of Credit”) pursuant to a credit agreement with Regions Bank and its affiliates, as administrative agent, sole lead arranger and sole book runner, and other lending institutions that may become parties to the credit agreement. The Regions Line of Credit has a capacity of $50 million and may be used to fund acquisitions, redeem shares pursuant to the Company’s redemption plan and for any other corporate purpose. The initial term expires on May 1, 2015, at which point the Company can exercise a single one-year extension option upon satisfaction of specified conditions. Borrowings under the Regions Line of Credit carry a specified interest rate which, at the option of the Company, may be comprised of (1) a base rate, currently equal to the prime rate, or (2) a rate based on the one-, two- or three-month London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus a spread ranging from 220 to 250 basis points (the "Spread"), depending on the Company's consolidated debt-to-value ratio. As of December 31, 2014, the outstanding balance and interest rate were $48,400,000 and 2.66%, respectively. As of December 31, 2013, the outstanding balance and interest rate were $5,500,000 and 2.37%, respectively.

December 31, 2014

The borrowing capacity under the Regions Line of Credit (the “Borrowing Base”) at any time is equal to the sum of (1) the lesser of (a) 60% of the value of the Company's real estate investments which are encumbered by the Regions Line of Credit (such value as determined by the administrative agent on an annual basis), and (b) the amount determined by reference to a specified debt service coverage calculation, and (2) 50% of the value of the Company’s investments in eligible marketable securities. The portion of the Borrowing Base attributable to marketable securities cannot exceed 20% of the total Borrowing Base. Additionally, up to 15% of the amount of the Borrowing Base attributable to real estate investments can be utilized for ground leased properties. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company’s Borrowing Base was $50,000,000 (unaudited) and $17,079,698 (unaudited), respectively.

The Regions Line of Credit agreement contains customary representations, warranties, borrowing conditions and affirmative, negative and financial covenants, including minimum net worth, debt service coverage requirements, fixed charge ratio requirements, leverage ratio requirements and distribution payout and REIT status requirements. By way of amendments to the Regions Line of Credit (most recently on December 17, 2014, the "Amendments"), the tangible net worth and fixed charge coverage ratio covenants were amended such that the Company's borrowing capacity under the Regions Line of Credit is not impacted, and therefore the Company can borrow up the to Borrowing Base amount.

In addition, the Amendments stipulate that if either (1) the financial support provided by RREEF America under the advisory and expense support agreements ends or is otherwise terminated, or (2) specified costs and expenses of the Company are not otherwise contractually obligated to be paid by RREEF America or one of its affiliates, then the interest rate under the Regions Line of Credit will increase by 100 basis points above the then current interest rate. Furthermore, effective December 17, 2014, the Spread was set to be 250 basis points until the Company's tangible net worth is at least $50 million. The Company was in compliance with all covenants as of December 31, 2014 and 2013.

On March 6, 2015, the Company refinanced its Regions Line of Credit with a new line of credit from Wells Fargo Bank, National Association. In connection therewith, the Company borrowed $43,426,851 from Wells Fargo which was used to fully repay and retire the Regions Line of Credit. See Note 15.

NOTE 7 — RELATED PARTY ARRANGEMENTS

Advisory Agreement

RREEF America is entitled to compensation and reimbursements in connection with the management of the Company's investments in accordance with an advisory agreement between RREEF America and the Company. The advisory agreement is for a one-year term and is renewable annually upon the review and approval of the Company's board of directors, including the approval of a majority of the Company's independent directors. The advisory agreement has a current expiration date of January 3, 2016. There is no limit to the number of terms for which the advisory agreement can be renewed.

Fees

Under the advisory agreement, RREEF America can earn an advisory fee split between two components as described below.

The fixed component accrues daily in an amount equal to 1/365th of 1.0% of the Company's NAV for each class of shares for such day; provided, however, that the fixed component will not be earned and, therefore, will not begin to accrue until the date on which the Company's combined NAV for both classes of shares has reached $50,000,000. The fixed component of the advisory fee is payable monthly in arrears.


2.	The performance component is calculated for each class of shares on the basis of the total return to stockholders and is measured by the total distributions per share paid to such class plus the change in the NAV per share for such class. For any calendar year in which the total return per share allocable to a class

F - 19

Table of Contents

RREEF PROPERTY TRUST, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued

December 31, 2014

exceeds 6% per annum, RREEF America will receive 25% of the excess total return allocable to that class; provided, however, that in no event will the performance component exceed 10% of the aggregate total return allocable to such class for such year. The performance component earned by RREEF America for each class is subject to certain other adjustments which do not apply unless the NAV per share is below $12.00 per share. The performance component is payable annually in arrears. The actual performance component earned by RREEF America during the year ended December 31, 2014, if any, is dependent on several factors, including but not limited to the performance of the Company's investments, interest rates, and the expense support provided by RREEF America, as hereinafter described.

No fixed component was earned for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 as the Company’s combined NAV for both classes of shares had not reached $50,000,000 as of December 31, 2014. RREEF America waived the performance component earned for each of the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013.

Expense Reimbursements

Under the advisory agreement, RREEF America is entitled to reimbursement of certain costs incurred by RREEF America or its affiliates that are not incurred under the Expense Support Agreement, as discussed below. Costs eligible for reimbursement, if they are not incurred under the Expense Support Agreement, include most third-party operating expenses, salaries and related costs of its employees who perform services for the Company (but not those employees for which RREEF America earns a separate fee or those employees who are executive officers of the Company) and travel related costs for its employees who incur such costs on behalf of the Company. Reimbursement payments to RREEF America are subject to the limitations described below under Reimbursement Limitations.

For the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, RREEF America incurred $36,155 and zero reimbursable operating expenses, respectively, that were subject to the terms and conditions of the advisory agreement. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company had payable to RREEF America $36,155 and zero, respectively, of operating expenses reimbursable under the advisory agreement.

Organization and Offering costs

Under the advisory agreement, RREEF America agreed to pay all of the Company’s organization and offering costs incurred through January 3, 2013. See Note 2 for a description of what comprises organization and offering costs. In addition, RREEF America agreed to pay certain of the Company’s organization and offering costs from January 3, 2013 through January 3, 2014 that were incurred in connection with certain offering related activities. In total, RREEF America incurred $4,618,318 of these costs (the “Deferred O&O”) on behalf of the Company from the Company’s inception through January 3, 2014. Pursuant to the advisory agreement, the Company began reimbursing RREEF America monthly for the Deferred O&O on a straight-line basis over 60 months beginning in January 2014. For the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company reimbursed RREEF America $918,099 for Deferred O&O.

Expense Support Agreement

Pursuant to the terms of the Expense Support Agreement as amended on December 16, 2014, RREEF America has agreed to defer reimbursement of certain expenses related to the Company's operations that RREEF America has incurred, and may continue to incur, that are not part of the Deferred O&O described above and therefore are in addition to the Deferred O&O amount (the “Expense Payments”). The Expense Payments may include organization and offering costs and operating expenses as described above under the Company's advisory agreement. RREEF America may incur these expenses until the earlier of (i) the date the Company has raised $200 million in aggregate gross proceeds from the Offering or (ii) the date upon which the aggregate Expense Payments by RREEF America exceed $9,200,000. Through December 31, 2014, the Company had raised $45.30 million in the Offering and had incurred a total of $6,596,731 in Expense Payments. Details of the Expense Payments incurred by RREEF America are detailed below.

Pursuant to the Expense Support Agreement, RREEF America has agreed to defer reimbursement of Expense Payments until the first calendar quarter of the first calendar year that follows the earlier of (i) the date the Company surpasses $200 million in aggregate gross proceeds from the Offering or (ii) the date upon which the aggregate Expense Payments by RREEF America exceed $9,200,000. Upon the commencement of reimbursement, the Company will reimburse RREEF America $250,000 per quarter, subject to adjustment as described in the Expense Support Agreement. Through December 31, 2014, the Company has made no reimbursements to RREEF America under the Expense Support Agreement.

Reimbursement Limitations

Organization and Offering costs

The Company will not reimburse RREEF America for any organization and offering costs which would cause the Company's total organization and offering costs to exceed 15% of the gross proceeds from the primary offering (excluding shares issued via the distribution reinvestment plan). Further, the Company will not reimburse RREEF America for any underwriting compensation (a subset of organization and offering costs) which would cause the Company's total underwriting compensation to exceed 10% of the gross proceeds from the primary offering. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company had raised $45.30 million and $26.39 million, respectively, in gross proceeds from the primary offering. The total organization and offering costs as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 exceeded 15% of these gross proceeds amounts, as detailed below.

At any point in time, the amount of the organization and offering costs in excess of the 15% limitation is not reflected in the Company's consolidated financial statements as a liability. However, as the Company raises additional proceeds from the Offering, it may become obligated to RREEF America for all or a portion of this additional amount. For purposes of reimbursement to RREEF America, the amount of organization and offering costs in excess of the 15% limitation is deducted from the Deferred O&O. The amounts of Deferred O&O payable to RREEF America are therefore as follows.

Operating Expenses

Pursuant to the Company’s charter, the Company may reimburse RREEF America, at the end of each fiscal quarter, for total operating expenses incurred by RREEF America, whether under the Expense Support Agreement or otherwise. However, commencing with the quarter ended June 30, 2014, the Company may not reimburse RREEF America at the end of any fiscal quarter for total operating expenses (as defined in the Company’s charter) that, in the four consecutive fiscal quarters then ended, exceed the greater of 2% of average invested assets or 25% of net income determined without reduction for any additions to reserves for depreciation, bad debts or other similar non-cash reserves and excluding any gain from the sale of the Company's assets for that period (the “2%/25% Guidelines”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may reimburse RREEF America for expenses in excess of the 2%/25% Guidelines if a majority of the Company’s independent directors determines that such excess expenses (an “Excess Amount”) are justified based on unusual and non-recurring factors. For the four fiscal quarters ended December 31, 2014, total operating expenses of the Company were $2,226,489, which exceeded the 2%/25% Guidelines by $1,042,626. On March 2, 2015, the Company’s independent directors determined that the Excess Amount of total operating expenses for the four quarters ended December 31, 2014 was justified because (1) the amounts reflect legitimate operating expenses necessary for the operation of the Company’s business, (2) the Company is currently in its acquisition and development stage, (3) the expenses incurred as a result of being a public company (including for audit and legal services, director and officer liability insurance and fees for directors) are significant and disproportionate to the Company’s average invested assets and net income, and (4) the Company’s average invested assets was low due to the Company’s ownership of only 2 - 5 properties during the four fiscal quarters ended December 31, 2014. The Excess Amount approved by the Company’s independent directors will be eligible for reimbursement in the future pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Expense Support Agreement or the advisory agreement, as applicable, with RREEF America.

Due to Affiliates

In accordance with all the above, as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company owed RREEF America for the following amounts:

NOTE 8 — CAPITALIZATION

Under the Company's charter, the Company has the authority to issue 1,000,000,000 shares of common stock, 500,000,000 of which are classified as Class A shares and 500,000,000 of which are classified as Class B shares. In addition, the Company has the authority to issue 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock. All shares of such stock have a par value of $0.01 per share. Class A shares issued in the primary offering are subject to selling commissions of up to 3% of the purchase price, dealer manager fees and distribution fees. Class B shares are subject to dealer manager fees, but are not subject to any selling commissions or distribution fees. The Company's board of directors is authorized to amend its charter from time to time, without the approval of the stockholders, to increase or decrease the aggregate number of authorized shares of capital stock or the number of shares of any class or series that the Company has authority to issue.

Distribution Reinvestment Plan

The Company has adopted a distribution reinvestment plan that will allow stockholders to have the cash distributions attributable to the class of shares that the stockholder owns automatically invested in additional shares of the same class. Shares are offered pursuant to the Company's distribution reinvestment plan at the NAV per share applicable to that class, calculated as of the distribution date and after giving effect to all distributions. Stockholders who elect to participate in the distribution reinvestment plan, and who are subject to U.S. federal income taxation laws, will incur a tax liability on an amount equal to the fair value on the relevant distribution date of the shares of the Company's common stock purchased with reinvested distributions, even though such stockholders have elected not to receive the distributions used to purchase those shares of the Company's common stock in cash.

Redemption Plan

In an effort to provide the Company's stockholders with liquidity in respect of their investment in shares of the Company's common stock, the Company has adopted a redemption plan whereby on a daily basis stockholders may request the redemption of all or any portion of their shares. The redemption price per share is equal to the Company's NAV per share of the class of shares being redeemed on the date of redemption. The total amount of redemptions in any calendar quarter will be limited to Class A and Class B shares whose aggregate value (based on the redemption price per share on the date of the redemption) is equal to 5% of the Company's combined NAV for both classes of shares as of the last day of the previous calendar quarter. In addition, if redemptions do not reach the 5% limit in a calendar quarter, the unused portion generally will be carried over to the next quarter and not any subsequent quarter, except that the maximum amount of redemptions during any quarter may never exceed 10% of the combined NAV for both classes of shares as of the last day of the previous calendar quarter. If the quarterly volume limitation is reached on or before the third business day of a calendar quarter, redemption requests during the next quarter will be satisfied on a stockholder by stockholder basis, which the Company refers to as a per stockholder allocation, instead of a first-come, first-served basis. Pursuant to the per stockholder allocation, each stockholder would be allowed to request redemption at any time during such quarter of a total number of shares not to exceed 5% of the shares of common stock the stockholder held as of the end of the prior quarter. The per stockholder allocation requirement will remain in effect for each succeeding quarter for which the total redemptions for the immediately preceding quarter exceeded 4% of the Company's NAV on the last business day of such preceding quarter. If total redemptions during a quarter for which the per stockholder allocation applies are equal to

F - 23

Table of Contents

RREEF PROPERTY TRUST, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued

December 31, 2014

or less than 4% of the Company's NAV on the last business day of such preceding quarter, then redemptions will again be satisfied on a first-come, first-served basis for the next succeeding quarter and each quarter thereafter.

Each redemption request will be evaluated by the Company in consideration of rules and regulations promulgated by the Internal Revenue Service with respect to dividend equivalent redemptions. Redemptions that may be considered dividend equivalent redemptions may adversely affect the Company or its stockholders. Accordingly, the Company may reject any redemption request that it reasonably believes may be treated as a dividend equivalent redemption.

While there is no minimum holding period, shares redeemed within 365 days of the date of purchase will be redeemed at the Company's NAV per share of the class of shares being redeemed on the date of redemption less a short-term trading discount equal to 2% of the gross proceeds otherwise payable with respect to the redemption.

In the event that any stockholder fails to maintain a minimum balance of $500 of shares of common stock, the Company may redeem all of the shares held by that stockholder at the redemption price per share in effect on the date it is determined that the stockholder has failed to meet the minimum balance, less the short-term trading discount of 2%, if applicable. Minimum account redemptions will apply even in the event that the failure to meet the minimum balance is caused solely by a decline in the Company's NAV.

During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company processed two redemption requests for 10,008 Class A shares at a weighted average price of $12.23 per share, before allowing for the 2% short-term trading discount, and four redemption requests for 60,391 Class B shares at a weighted average price of $12.67 per share, before allowing for the 2% short-term trading discount. The Company funded these redemptions with cash flows from operations. There were no redemption requests for the year ended December 31, 2013.

The Company's board of directors has the discretion to suspend or modify the redemption plan at any time, including in circumstances where it (1) determines that such action is in the best interest of the Company's stockholders, (2) determines that it is necessary due to regulatory changes or changes in law or (3) becomes aware of undisclosed material information that it believes should be publicly disclosed before shares are redeemed. In addition, the Company's board of directors may suspend the Offering, including the redemption plan, if it determines that the calculation of NAV is materially incorrect or there is a condition that restricts the valuation of a material portion of the Company's assets. If the board of directors materially amends (including any reduction of the quarterly limit) or suspends the redemption plan during any quarter, other than any temporary suspension to address certain external events unrelated to the Company's business, any unused portion of that quarter’s 5% limit will not be carried forward to the next quarter or any subsequent quarter.

NOTE 9 — DISTRIBUTIONS

In order to qualify as a REIT, the Company is required, among other things, to make distributions each taxable year of at least 90% of its taxable income determined without regard to the dividends-paid deduction and excluding net capital gains, and to meet certain tests regarding the nature of the Company's income and assets. The Company expects that its board of directors will continue to declare distributions with a daily record date, payable monthly in arrears. Any distributions the Company makes will be at the discretion of its board of directors, considering factors such as its earnings, cash flow, capital needs and general financial condition and the requirements of Maryland law. The Company commenced operations on May 30, 2013 and elected taxation as a REIT for the year ended December 31, 2013.

On May 22, 2013, the Company's board of directors declared the Company's first cash distribution per Class A and Class B share (before adjustment for applicable class-specific expenses) for all such shares of record on each day from June 1, 2013 through September 30, 2013. Distributions for each month are payable on or before the first day of the following month. However, any distributions reinvested by the stockholders in accordance with the Company's dividend reinvestment plan are reinvested at the per share NAV of the same class determined at the close of business on the last business day of the month in which the distributions were accrued.

NOTE 10 — INCOME TAXES

The Company elected taxation as a REIT for federal income tax purposes for the year ended December 31, 2013. In each calendar year that the Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to federal income tax to the extent it meets certain criteria and distributes its REIT taxable income to its stockholders. Distributions declared and paid by the Company may consist of ordinary income, qualifying dividends, return of capital, capital gains or a combination thereof. The characterization of the distributions into these various components will impact how the distributions are taxable to the stockholder who received them. Distributions to the extent of our current and accumulated earnings and profits for federal income tax purposes are taxable to the recipient as either ordinary dividend income or capital gain distributions. Distributions in excess of these earnings and profits (calculated for income tax purposes) constitute a non-taxable return of capital rather than ordinary dividend income or a capital gain distribution and reduce the recipient’s basis in the shares to the extent thereof. Distributions in excess of earnings and profits that reduce a recipient’s basis in the shares have the effect of deferring taxation of the amount of the distribution until the sale of the stockholder’s shares. If the recipient's basis is reduced to zero, distributions in excess of the aforementioned earnings and profits (calculated for income tax

purposes) constitute taxable gain. The characterization of the distributions is generally determined during the month of January following the close of the tax year, and is as follows for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013:



Characterization	Box number	Year Ended December 31, 2014		Year Ended December 31, 2013

Income and similar taxes paid for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 consisted of immaterial amounts to certain states where the Company owns real estate properties.

NOTE 11 — SEGMENT INFORMATION

For the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company had two segments with reportable information: Real Estate Properties and Real Estate Equity Securities. The Company organizes and analyzes the operations and results of each of these segments independently, due to inherently different considerations for each segment. Such considerations include, but are not limited to, the nature and characteristics of the investment, and investment strategies and objectives.

NOTE 12 — ECONOMIC DEPENDENCY

The Company depends on RREEF America, the Dealer Manager and Realty Capital Securities, LLC (the "Wholesaler") for certain services that are essential to the Company, including the sale of the Company's shares of common stock, asset acquisition and disposition decisions and other general and administrative responsibilities. In the event that RREEF America, the Dealer Manager or the Wholesaler is unable to provide such services, the Company would be required to find alternative service providers.

NOTE 13 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

In the normal course of business, from time to time, the Company may be involved in legal actions relating to the ownership and operations of real estate investments. In the Company's opinion, the liabilities, if any, that may ultimately result from such legal actions are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

The Company, as an owner of real estate, is subject to various environmental laws of federal and local governments. All of the Company's properties were subject to assessments, involving visual inspections of the properties and their neighborhoods. The Company carries environmental liability insurance on its properties that provides coverage for remediation liability and pollution liability for third-party bodily injury and property damage claims. The Company does not believe such environmental assessments will have a material adverse impact on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations in the future.

As discussed in Note 7, the Company may become liable to RREEF America for additional amounts that RREEF America has paid on behalf of the Company, with such additional liability dependent upon the amount of shares sold by the Company.

NOTE 14 — QUARTERLY RESULTS (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 15 — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On January 2, 2015, the Company announced that its board of directors declared a cash distribution equal to $0.00175668 per Class A and Class B share (before adjustment for applicable class-specific expenses) for all such shares of record on each day from January 1, 2015 through March 31, 2015.

On January 22, 2015, the Company's combined NAV for both classes of shares exceeded $50,000,000. As a result, the fixed component of the Company's advisory fee began accruing daily in an amount equal to 1/365th of 1.0% of the Company's NAV for each class of shares for such day. The fixed component of the advisory fee is payable monthly in arrears.

On March 6, 2015, the Company entered into a line of credit with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (the "Wells Fargo Line of Credit"). Upon closing, the Company borrowed $43.4 million which was used to fully repay and retire the Regions Line of Credit. The Wells Fargo Line of Credit has a three year term with an initial maximum capacity of $75 million and two one-year extension options exercisable by us upon satisfaction of certain conditions and payment of applicable extension fees. The interest rate under the Wells Fargo Line of Credit is based on the 1-month LIBOR with a spread of 170 to 190 basis points depending on the debt yield as defined in the agreement. Upon closing, the interest rate on the initial borrowing was 1.875%. In addition, the Wells Fargo Line of Credit is expandable by the Company up to a maximum capacity of $150 million upon satisfaction of specified conditions. Each requested expansion must be for at least $25 million and may result in the Wells Fargo Line of Credit being syndicated.

The Wells Fargo Line of Credit has as co-borrowers the wholly owned subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership, with RREEF Property Trust, Inc. serving as the guarantor. The borrowing capacity under the Wells Fargo Line of Credit is based on the lesser of (1) an amount equal to 65% of the aggregate value of the properties in the collateral pool as determined by lender appraisals, (2) an amount that results in a minimum debt yield of 11% based on the in-place net operating income of the collateral pool, or (3) the maximum capacity of the Wells Fargo Line of Credit. Proceeds from the Wells Fargo Line of Credit can be used to fund acquisitions, redeem shares pursuant to the Company's redemption plan and for any other corporate purpose.

The Wells Fargo Line of Credit agreement contains customary representations, warranties, borrowing conditions and affirmative, negative and financial covenants, including that there must be at least five properties in the collateral pool at all times, and the collateral pool must also meet specified concentration provisions, unless waived by the lender. In addition, the Company, as guarantor, must meet tangible net worth hurdles.
