| Item 1. | Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto contained in this Semiannual Report on Form 1-SA (“Semiannual Report”). The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates, and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the Statements Regarding Forward-Looking Information contained in our latest offering circular (our “Offering Circular”) qualified by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) as of June 30, 2022, which may be accessed here. Unless otherwise indicated, the latest results discussed below are as of June 30, 2022. The consolidated financial statements included in this filing as of June 30, 2022 and for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 are unaudited and have not been reviewed, and may not include year-end adjustments necessary to make those financial statements comparable to audited results, although in the opinion of management all necessary adjustments have been included to make interim consolidated statements of operations not misleading.
Business
Fundrise Midland Opportunistic REIT, LLC is a Delaware limited liability company formed on November 19, 2015 to originate, invest in and manage a diversified portfolio primarily consisting of investments in multifamily rental properties and development projects located in the Houston, TX, Dallas, TX, Austin, TX, Chicago, IL, and Denver, CO metropolitan statistical areas. We use substantially all of the net proceeds raised from our initial and subsequent offerings to invest in such properties, and may also invest in commercial real estate debt securities and other select real estate-related assets, where the underlying assets primarily consist of such properties. Operations commenced on October 25, 2016. The Company has one reportable segment consisting of investments in real estate. The use of the terms “Fundrise Midland Opportunistic REIT”, the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our” in this Semiannual Report refer to Fundrise Midland Opportunistic REIT, LLC unless the context indicates otherwise.
As a limited liability company, we have elected to be taxed as a C corporation. Commencing with the taxable year ending December 31, 2016, the Company operates in a manner intended to qualify for treatment as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
We are externally managed by Fundrise Advisors, LLC (our “Manager”), which is an investment adviser registered with the SEC, and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Rise Companies Corp. (our “Sponsor”), the parent company of Fundrise, LLC, our affiliate. Fundrise, LLC owns and operates the online investment platform located at www.fundrise.com, which allows investors to hold interests in real estate opportunities that may have been historically difficult to access for some investors. Our Manager has the authority to make all of the decisions regarding our investments, subject to the limitations in our operating agreement and the direction and oversight of our Manager’s investment committee. Our Sponsor also provides asset management, marketing, investor relations and other administrative services on our behalf. Accordingly, we do not currently have any employees nor do we currently intend to hire any employees who will be compensated directly by us.
Risk Factors
We face risks and uncertainties that could affect us and our business as well as the real estate industry generally. These risks are outlined under the heading “Risk Factors” contained in our Offering Circular, which may be accessed here, as the same may be updated from time to time by our future filings under Regulation A (“Regulation A”) of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”). In addition, new risks may emerge at any time and we cannot predict such risks or estimate the extent to which they may affect our financial performance. These risks could result in a decrease in the value of our common shares.
Offering Results
As of June 30, 2022, we were offering up to $75.0 million in our common shares in any rolling twelve-month period under Regulation A (the “Offering”). The Offering is being conducted as a continuous offering pursuant to Rule 251(d)(3) of Regulation A, meaning that while the offering of securities is continuous, active sales of securities may occur sporadically over the term of the Offering. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had raised total gross offering proceeds of approximately $113.4 million and $108.5 million, respectively, from settled subscriptions (including the $100,000 received in the private placements to our Sponsor and Fundrise, L.P., an affiliate of our Sponsor, and approximately $1.2 million and $320,000, respectively, received in private placements to third parties), and had settled subscriptions in our Offering and private placements for an aggregate of approximately 11,104,000 and 10,770,000 of our common shares, respectively.
3
During the third quarter of 2022, the Manager closed the Regulation A offering of common shares of the Company. The Company may in the future file an offering statement to qualify additional common shares for sale pursuant to Regulation A, or offer its common shares pursuant to Regulation D of the Securities Act (“Regulation D”).
Until December 31, 2017, the per share purchase price for our common shares was $10.00, an amount that was arbitrarily determined by our Manager. Thereafter, the per share purchase price has been and will continue to be adjusted every fiscal quarter and, as of January 1st, April 1st, July 1st, and October 1st of each year (or as soon as commercially reasonable and announced by us thereafter), will equal the greater of (i) $10.00 per share or (ii) the sum of our net asset value (“NAV”) divided by the number of our common shares outstanding as of the end of the prior fiscal quarter (“NAV per share”).
Below is the NAV per share since December 31, 2017, as determined in accordance with our valuation policy. Linked in the table is the relevant Form 1-U detailing each NAV evaluation method, incorporated by reference herein.

Distributions
To qualify as a REIT, and maintain our qualification as a REIT, we will be required to make aggregate annual distributions to our shareholders of at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (computed without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding net capital gain), and to avoid federal income and excise taxes on retained taxable income and gains we must distribute 100% of such income and gains annually. Our Manager may authorize distributions in excess of those required for us to maintain REIT status and/or avoid such taxes on retained taxable income and gains depending on our financial condition and such other factors as our Manager deems relevant. Provided we have sufficient available cash flow, we intend to authorize and declare distributions based on daily record dates and pay distributions on a quarterly or other periodic basis. We have not established a minimum distribution level.
While we are under no obligation to do so, we have in the past and expect in the future to declare and pay distributions quarterly in arrears; however, our Manager may declare other periodic distributions as circumstances dictate. In order that investors may generally begin receiving distributions immediately upon our acceptance of their subscription, we expect to authorize and declare distributions based on daily record dates. However, there may also be times when our Manager elects to reduce our rate of distributions in order to preserve or build up a higher level of liquidity at the Company level.
4
On April 12, 2017, we paid our first distribution to shareholders for the distribution period of January 1, 2017 through March 31, 2017. In addition, our Manager has declared daily distributions for shareholders of record as of the close of business on each day for the periods as shown in the table below:

| (1) | Dates presented are the dates on which the distributions were, or are, scheduled to be distributed; actual distribution dates may vary. | |
| (2) | Annualized yield numbers represent the annualized yield amount of each distribution calculated on an annualized basis at the then current rate, assuming a $10.00 per share purchase price. While the Manager is under no obligation to do so, each annualized basis return assumes that the Manager would declare distributions in the future similar to the distributions for each period presented, and there can be no assurance that the Manager will declare such distributions in the future or, if declared, that such distributions would be of a similar amount. | |
| (3) | Weighted average daily distribution amount per common share is calculated as the average of the daily declared distribution amounts from January 1, 2017 through October 1, 2022. | |
| (4) | Weighted average annualized yield is calculated as the annualized yield of the average daily distribution amount for the periods presented, using a $10.00 per share purchase price. | |

Any distributions that we make directly impacts our NAV by reducing the amount of our assets. Our goal is to provide a reasonably predictable and stable level of current income, through quarterly or other periodic distributions, while at the same time maintaining a fair level of consistency in our NAV. Over the course of a shareholder’s investment, the shareholder’s distributions plus the change in NAV per share (either positive or negative) will produce the shareholder’s total return.
Our distributions will generally constitute a return of capital to the extent that they exceed our current and accumulated earnings and profits as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes. To the extent that a distribution is treated as a return of capital for U.S. federal income tax purposes, it will reduce a shareholder’s adjusted tax basis in the shareholder’s shares, and to the extent that it exceeds the shareholder’s adjusted tax basis will be treated as gain resulting from a sale or exchange of such shares.

Redemption Plan
Although we do not intend to list our common shares for trading on a stock exchange or other trading market, we have adopted a redemption plan designed to provide our shareholders with limited liquidity for their investment in our shares. The Company’s redemption plan provides that on a quarterly basis, subject to certain exceptions, a shareholder could obtain liquidity as described in detail in our Offering Circular. Effective October 1, 2021 we revised our Redemption Plan to reflect the following changes: (1) update our policy for redemptions so that shares held less than 5 years will be subject to a flat 1% penalty to the NAV per share in effect at the time of the redemption request; and (2) effectuate redemption requests on a first in first out basis, meaning, those shares submitted by a shareholder for redemption in any given month or quarter that have been continuously held for the longest amount of time will be redeemed first. Our Manager may in its sole discretion, amend, suspend, or terminate the redemption plan at any time, including to protect our operations and our non-redeemed shareholders, to prevent an undue burden on our liquidity, to preserve our status as a REIT, following any material decrease in our NAV, or for any other reason.
As of June 30, 2022, approximately 2,748,000 common shares had been submitted for redemption since operations commenced, and 100% of such redemption requests have been honored.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our accounting policies have been established to conform with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to use judgment in the application of accounting policies, including making estimates and assumptions. These judgments may affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Management believes that we have made these estimates and assumptions in an appropriate manner and in a way that accurately reflects our financial condition. We continually test and evaluate these estimates and assumptions using our historical knowledge of the business, as well as other factors, to ensure that they are reasonable for reporting purposes. However, actual results may differ from these estimates and assumptions. If our 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 consolidated financial statements.
We believe the following accounting estimates are the most critical to aid in fully understanding our reported financial results, and they require our most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, resulting from the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.
Real Estate Debt Investment Impairment
We recognize losses on both principal and interest of real estate debt investments if it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the agreement. Indicators of impairment are based on current information and events including economic, industry, and geographical factors, as well as borrower creditworthiness. If indicators are present and an investment is deemed impaired, the impairment is measured based on the expected future cash flows discounted at the investment’s effective interest rate or the fair value of the real property collateralizing the impaired loan, less estimated costs to sell.
The fair value of the investment or the underlying collateral is determined using industry techniques, which include a discounted cash flow, comparable sales or other income approaches. These valuation techniques require assumptions regarding future occupancy, rental rates, capital requirements, capitalization rates and discount rates that could differ materially from actual results and involve a high degree of judgment. If the carrying value is in excess of the estimated fair value of the investment, we would recognize an impairment loss equivalent to the amount required to adjust the carrying value to its estimated fair value, calculated in accordance with current U.S. GAAP fair value provisions. Changes in the facts and circumstances that drive management’s assumptions may result in an impairment to the Company’s assets in a future period that could be material to the Company’s results of operations.
7
Investments in Equity Method Investees Impairment
The Company evaluates its investments in equity method investees for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that there may be an other-than-temporary decline in value. If it is determined that an impairment exists and is other-than-temporary, then the Company estimates the fair value of the investment using various valuation techniques including, but not limited to, discounted cash flow models, which consider inputs such as the Company’s intent and ability to retain its investment in the entity, the financial condition and long-term prospects of the entity, and the expected term of the investment. Such assumptions involve a high degree of judgment and could be impacted by future economic and market conditions. If the Company determined any decline in value is other-than-temporary, the Company would recognize an impairment loss to reduce the carrying value of its investment to fair value.
Impairment of Rental Real Estate Properties
Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. When determining if a property has indicators of impairment, we evaluate the property’s occupancy and cash flows, our expected holding period for the property, strategic decisions regarding the property’s future operations or development, and other market factors. Impairment exists if estimated future undiscounted cash flows associated with those assets are less than the assets’ carrying value. Estimates of undiscounted cash flows are based on forward-looking assumptions, including annual and residual cash flows, terminal capitalization rates, and our estimated holding period for each asset. Such assumptions involve a high degree of judgment and could be affected by future economic and market conditions. When impairment exists, the long-lived asset is adjusted to its fair value. Impairment is calculated as the excess of carrying value over the fair value. Fair value is determined using industry techniques, which include a discounted cash flow, comparable sales or other income approaches. These valuation techniques require assumptions regarding future occupancy, rental rates, capital requirements, capitalization rate and discount rate that could differ materially from actual results and involve a high degree of judgment. Assets held for sale are recorded at the lower of cost or fair value less costs to sell.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Financial Accounting Standards Board has released several Accounting Standards Updates (each an “ASU”) that may have an impact on our consolidated financial statements. See Recent Accounting Pronouncements in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the consolidated financial statements for discussion of the relevant ASUs. We are currently evaluating the impact of the various ASUs on our consolidated financial statements and determining our plan for adoption.
Extended Transition Period
Under Section 107 of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, we are permitted to use the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. This permits us to delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to use the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date that we (i) are no longer an emerging growth company or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B). By electing to extend the transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards, these consolidated financial statements may not be comparable to companies that adopt accounting standard updates upon the public business entity effective dates.
Sources of Operating Revenues and Cash Flows
We primarily generate revenues from interest revenue on our real estate debt investments and rental revenue from our investments in rental real estate properties. We may also seek to acquire investments which generate attractive returns without any leverage. See Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – Revenue Recognition, in our consolidated financial statements for further detail.

Results of Operations
We substantially commenced operations on October 25, 2016. For the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, we had total consolidated net loss of approximately $988,000 and $2.1 million, respectively.
Revenue
Rental Revenue
For the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, we earned rental revenue of approximately $3.8 million and $3.0 million, respectively, from our investment in rental real estate properties. The increase in rental revenue is primarily attributable to a lower amount of bad debt expense recorded and lower vacancy losses during the six months ended June 30, 2022.
Interest Revenue
For the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, we earned interest revenue of approximately $477,000 million and $1.2 million, respectively, from our real estate debt investments. The decrease in interest revenue is primarily attributable to having fewer real estate debt investments earning interest revenue due to investment repayments during the six months ended June 30, 2022.
Other Revenue
For the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, we earned other revenue of approximately $400,000 and $312,000, respectively, which is primarily related to parking income, utility reimbursements, late fees, and other revenue earned from our investment in rental real estate properties. The increase in other revenue is primarily attributable to termination fees, cleaning fees, and damages charged to tenants.
Expenses
Depreciation and Amortization
For the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, we incurred depreciation and amortization expenses of approximately $2.6 million and $3.7 million, respectively. The decrease in depreciation and amortization expense is due to updates to the useful lives of certain assets in the comparative period.
Rental Properties Operating and Maintenance
For the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, we incurred rental properties operating and maintenance expense of approximately $1.7 million and $1.0 million, respectively, which includes taxes, insurance, utilities, repairs, and other property-related expenses. The increase in rental properties operating and maintenance is primarily attributable to higher third-party real estate asset management fees as well as an increase in exterior repairs and maintenance to properties in the current period.
Asset Management and Other Fees – Related Party
For the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, we incurred asset management fees of approximately $524,000 and $396,000, respectively. The increase in asset management fees is directly related to an increase in net assets, as the asset management fee is calculated as a percentage of net assets each quarter. The overall increase in net assets is primarily attributable to the appreciation of our real estate investments.
General and Administrative Expenses
For the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, we incurred general and administrative expenses of approximately $133,000 and $152,000, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, these costs included auditing and legal fees, software subscription costs, and other expenses associated with operating our business.
9
Other Income (Expense)
Equity in Earnings (Losses)
For the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, we had equity in earnings (losses) of approximately $489,000 million and $(164,000) from our equity method investees, respectively. The increase in equity in earnings is attributable to the improved performance of our equity method investees, as well as an increase in earnings from our investment in National Lending, LLC.
Interest Expense
For the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, we incurred interest expense of approximately $1.2 million and $1.3 million, respectively. Of these amounts, approximately $0 and $89,000, respectively, were due to related parties for notes payable used to fund our investment and operational activity. See Note 11, Related Party Arrangements, in our consolidated financial statements for more information.
Our Investments
As of June 30, 2022, we had entered into the following investments. See “Recent Developments” for a description of any investments we have made since June 30, 2022. Note that the use of the term “controlled subsidiary” is not intended to conform with U.S. GAAP definition and does not correlate to a subsidiary that would require consolidation under U.S. GAAP.

As of June 30, 2022, the Company’s investments in companies that are accounted for under the equity method of accounting also included the contributions to National Lending, LLC (“National Lending”) in exchange for ownership interests. See Note 11, Related Party Arrangements for further information regarding National Lending.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We require capital to fund our investment activities and operating expenses. Our capital sources may include net proceeds from our Offering, cash flow from operations, net proceeds from asset repayments and sales, borrowings under credit facilities, other term borrowings and securitization financing transactions.
We obtain the capital required to primarily originate, invest in and manage a diversified portfolio of real estate investments and conduct our operations from the proceeds of our Offering and from secured or unsecured financings from banks and other lenders and from any undistributed funds from our operations. As of June 30, 2022, we had deployed approximately $72.1 million for seven investments and had approximately $16.4 million in cash and cash equivalents. The Company has a continuous funding commitment to maintain a total contribution amount of up to 5% of its assets under management to National Lending. As of June 30, 2022, we had approximately $60.0 million of outstanding third-party debt secured by real property of our consolidated joint ventures. As of June 30, 2022, we anticipate that cash on hand and proceeds from potential future Offerings will provide sufficient liquidity to meet future funding commitments and costs of operations.
We have no outstanding unsecured, Company level debt as of September 21, 2022 and June 30, 2022. This amount does not include any debt secured by the real property of our consolidated or unconsolidated joint ventures.
We may employ leverage to enhance total returns to our shareholders through a combination of senior financing on our real estate acquisitions, secured facilities, and capital markets financing transactions. Our targeted portfolio-wide leverage after we have acquired an initial substantial portfolio of diversified investments is between 50%-85% of the greater of the cost (before deducting depreciation or other non-cash reserves) or fair market value of our assets. During periods when we are growing our initial portfolio, we may employ greater leverage on individual assets (that will also result in greater leverage of the initial portfolio) in order to quickly build a diversified portfolio of multifamily rental properties and development project assets. We seek to secure conservatively structured leverage that is long-term, non-recourse, non-mark-to-market financing to the extent obtainable on a cost-effective basis. To the extent a higher level of leverage is employed it may come either in the form of government-sponsored programs or other long-term, non-recourse, non-mark-to-market financing. Our Manager may from time to time modify our leverage policy in its discretion in light of then-current economic conditions, relative costs of debt and equity capital, market values of our assets, general conditions in the market for debt and equity securities, growth and acquisition opportunities or other factors. However, other than during our initial period of operations, it is our policy to not borrow more than 85% of the greater of cost (before deducting depreciation or other non-cash reserves) or fair market value of our assets. We cannot exceed the leverage limit of our leverage policy unless any excess in borrowing over such level is approved by our Manager’s investment committee.
13
Additionally, because certain of our investments include both current interest payments and interest received in kind upon redemption of our investments, there may be differences between net income from operations and cash flow generated from our investments.
We face additional challenges in order to ensure liquidity and capital resources on a long-term basis. If we are unable to raise additional funds from the issuance of common shares, we will make fewer investments resulting in less diversification in terms of the type, number and size of investments we make and we may be subject to more fluctuations based on the performance of the specific assets we acquire. Further, we have certain direct and indirect operating expenses. Our inability to raise substantial funds would increase our fixed operating expenses as a percentage of gross income and would limit our ability to make distributions.
Outlook and Recent Trends
After a strong performance for both the stock market and real estate in 2021, the first half of 2022 has seen significant volatility and a pull-back in risk sentiment. Against a backdrop of geopolitical turmoil, ongoing supply chain concerns, the highest inflation in four decades, and a sudden shift in Federal Reserve policy toward rapid rate increases, the S&P 500 fell approximately 20% in the first half of 2022. Public real estate as a whole saw similar performance, with the FTSE NAREIT U.S. Real Estate Index falling approximately 19% in the first half of 2022. By comparison, the Fundrise portfolio outperformed with an average net return for all Fundrise clients of approximately 5.5% in the first half of 2022. We attribute this outperformance to a few driving factors: (1) sound underlying fundamentals of high quality real estate assets in our target residential and industrial macros; (2) a low-fee model; (3) a relatively conservative balance sheet; and (4) private markets’ relative insulation from the sharp swings in investor sentiment that impact the public market more dramatically.
We expect that the recent public market correction could still be in its early stages, given the Federal Reserve’s messaging around continued tightening and its primary goal of restraining inflation. These measures may result in a “hard landing,” consistent with a recession. However, we believe that our portfolio, focused on high-quality real estate assets, will continue to demonstrate solid relative performance in this environment. We further plan to carry a larger balance of cash in the near future in preparation for the heightened possibility of more pronounced pricing dislocations in either public or private markets that could unlock opportunistic buying opportunities.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Fundrise Midland Opportunistic REIT, LLC
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
| 1. | Formation and Organization |
Fundrise Midland Opportunistic REIT, LLC was formed on November 19, 2015, as a Delaware limited liability company and commenced operations on October 25, 2016. As used herein, the “Company,” “we,” “our,” and “us” refer to Fundrise Midland Opportunistic REIT, LLC except where the context otherwise requires.
The Company has one reportable segment consisting of investments in real estate. The Company was organized primarily to originate, invest in and manage a diversified portfolio of real estate loans and real estate, and may also invest in real estate-related debt securities and other real estate-related assets. The Company may make its investments through majority-owned subsidiaries, some of which may have rights to receive preferred economic returns.
The Company’s business is externally managed by Fundrise Advisors, LLC (the “Manager”), a Delaware limited liability company and an investment adviser registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Subject to certain restrictions and limitations, the Manager is responsible for managing the Company’s affairs on a day-to-day basis and for identifying and making acquisitions and investments on behalf of the Company.
We believe we have operated in such a manner as to qualify as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for federal income tax purposes beginning with the year ended December 31, 2016. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we held substantially all of our assets directly and had no active operating partnerships or any taxable REIT subsidiaries or qualified REIT subsidiaries, though we may form such entities as required in the future to facilitate certain transactions that might otherwise have an adverse impact on our status as a REIT.
The Company’s initial and subsequent offering of its common shares (the “Offering(s)”) has been conducted as a continuous offering pursuant to Rule 251(d)(3) of Regulation A (“Regulation A”) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), meaning that while the offering of securities is continuous, active sales of securities may happen sporadically over the term of an Offering. A maximum of $75.0 million of the Company’s common shares may be sold to the public in its Offering in any given twelve-month period. However, each Offering is subject to qualification by the SEC. The Manager has the authority to issue an unlimited number of common shares. Most recently, the Company qualified $75 million of shares on July 30, 2021 which represents the value of shares available to be offered as of the date of its most recent offering circular out of the rolling 12-month maximum offering amount of $75 million.
During the third quarter of 2022, the Manager closed the Regulation A offering of common shares of the Company. The Company may in the future file an offering statement to qualify additional common shares for sale pursuant to Regulation A, or offer its common shares pursuant to Regulation D of the Securities Act (“Regulation D”), as determined by our Manager.
As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, after redemptions, the Company had net common shares outstanding of approximately 8,355,000 and 8,304,000, respectively, including common shares issued to Rise Companies Corp. (the “Sponsor”), the owner of the Manager. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Sponsor owned 600 common shares. In addition, as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, Fundrise, L.P., an affiliate of the Sponsor, had purchased an aggregate of 9,500 common shares, at $10.00 per share in a private placement for an aggregate purchase price of $95,000. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, third parties had purchased approximately 89,000 and 24,000 common shares, respectively, in private placements for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $1,231,000 and $320,000, respectively. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the total amount of equity issued by the Company on a gross basis was approximately $113.4 million and $108.5 million, respectively. These amounts were offered at a $14.97 and $13.29 per share price, respectively.

| 2. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting and conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the rules and regulations of the SEC.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows have been included and are of a normal and recurring nature. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of operating results for any other interim period or for the entire year. The December 31, 2021 balance sheet and certain related disclosures are derived from the Company’s December 31, 2021 audited financial statements. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report, which was filed with the SEC. The financial statements as of June 30, 2022 and for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, and certain related notes, are unaudited, have not been reviewed, and may not include year-end adjustments to make those financial statements comparable to audited results.
Principles of Consolidation
We consolidate entities when we own, directly or indirectly, a majority interest in the entity or are otherwise able to control the entity. We consolidate variable interest entities (“VIEs”) in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810, Consolidation, if we are the primary beneficiary of the VIE as determined by our power to direct the VIE’s activities and the obligation to absorb its losses or the right to receive its benefits, which are potentially significant to the VIE. A VIE is broadly defined as an entity with one or more of the following characteristics: (a) the total equity investment at risk is insufficient to finance the entity’s activities without additional subordinated financial support; (b) as a group, the holders of the equity investment at risk lack (i) the ability to make decisions about the entity’s activities through voting or similar rights, (ii) the obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity, or (iii) the right to receive the expected residual returns of the entity; or (c) the equity investors have voting rights that are not proportional to their economic interests, and substantially all of the entity’s activities either involve, or are conducted on behalf of, an investor that has disproportionately few voting rights.
The Company reports non-controlling interest in subsidiaries as equity in the consolidated financial statements and accounts for all transactions between the Company and non-controlling owners as equity transactions.
Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents may consist of money market funds, demand deposits and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.
Cash may at times exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation deposit insurance limit of $250,000 per institution. The Company mitigates credit risk by placing cash with major financial institutions. To date, the Company has not experienced any losses with respect to cash.
F-6
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash consists of cash balances restricted in use by contractual obligations with third parties. This may include funds escrowed for tenant security deposits, real estate taxes, property insurance, and mortgage escrows required by lenders on certain of our properties to be used for future building renovations or tenant improvements.
Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per share is calculated on the basis of weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common members by the weighted-average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per common share equals basic net income (loss) per common share as there were no potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.
Organizational and Offering Costs
Organizational and offering costs of the Company were initially paid by the Manager on behalf of the Company. Organizational costs include all expenses incurred by the Company in connection with its formation. Offering costs represent costs incurred by the Company in the qualification of the Offering and the marketing and distribution of common shares. Costs included in the marketing and distribution of common shares, include, without limitation, expenses for printing, amending offering statements or supplementing offering circulars, mailing and distributing costs, telephones, internet and other telecommunications costs, all advertising and marketing expenses, charges of experts and fees, expenses and taxes related to the filing, registration and qualification of the sale of shares under federal and state laws, including taxes and fees, and accountants’ and attorneys’ fees. Pursuant to the Company’s amended and restated operating agreement (the “Operating Agreement”), the Company is obligated to reimburse the Manager, or its affiliates, as applicable, for organizational and offering costs paid by them on behalf of the Company. The Manager decided that the Company shall only reimburse the Manager for the organizational and offering costs subject to a minimum net asset value (“NAV”), as described below.
After the Company has reached a NAV greater than $10.00 per share (“Hurdle Rate”), the Company is obligated to start reimbursing the Manager, without interest, for organizational and offering costs incurred, both, before and after the date that the Hurdle Rate was reached. The total amount payable to the Manager will be based on the dollar amount that the NAV exceeds the Hurdle Rate, multiplied by the number of shares outstanding. Reimbursement payments will be made in monthly installments, but the aggregate monthly amount reimbursed shall not exceed 0.50% of the aggregate gross offering proceeds from the Offering. No reimbursement shall be made if the reimbursement would cause the NAV to be less than the Hurdle Rate. If the sum of the total unreimbursed amount of such organizational and offering costs, plus new costs incurred since the last reimbursement payment, exceeds the reimbursement limit described above for the applicable monthly installment, the excess will be eligible for reimbursement in subsequent months (subject to the 0.50% limit), calculated on an accumulated basis, until the Manager has been reimbursed in full.
The Company recognizes a liability for organizational costs and offering costs payable to the Manager when it is probable and estimable that a liability has been incurred in accordance with FASB ASC 450, Contingencies. As a result, there will be no liability recognized until the Company reaches the Hurdle Rate. Upon the Company’s NAV exceeding the Hurdle Rate, it will recognize a liability with a corresponding reduction to equity for offering costs, and a liability and a corresponding expense to general and administrative expenses for organizational costs.
As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Manager had incurred cumulative organizational and offering costs of approximately $962,000, on behalf of the Company. The Hurdle Rate was met as of December 31, 2017, and approximately $962,000 of offering costs were reimbursed or were reimbursable to the Manager as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company reimbursed the Manager approximately $0 and $465,000, respectively, in offering costs. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, approximately $0 remained payable to the Manager.
During the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company directly incurred offering costs of approximately $4,000 and $32,000, respectively. Approximately $4,000 and $24,000 of directly incurred offering costs were payable as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.
F-7
Settling Subscriptions
Settling subscriptions presented on the consolidated balance sheets represent equity subscriptions for which funds have been received but common shares have not yet been issued. Under the terms of the Offering Circular for our common shares, subscriptions will be accepted or rejected within thirty days of receipt by us. Once a subscription agreement is accepted, settlement of the shares may occur up to fifteen days later, depending on the volume of subscriptions received; however, we generally issue shares the later of five business days from the date that an investor’s subscription is approved by our Manager or when funds settle in our bank account. We rely on our Automated Clearing House (ACH) provider to notify us that funds have settled for this purpose, which may differ from the time that cash is posted to our bank statement.
Investments in Equity Method Investees
If it is determined that we do not have a controlling interest in a joint venture through our financial interest in a VIE or through our voting interest in a voting interest entity and we have the ability to provide significant influence, the equity method of accounting is used. Under this method, the investment is originally recorded at cost and adjusted for contributions, distributions, basis difference, and to recognize our share of net earnings or losses of the affiliate as they occur, with losses limited to the extent of our investment in, advances to, and commitments to the investee.
The Company evaluates its investment in equity method investees for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that there may be an other-than-temporary decline in value. To do so, the Company would calculate the estimated fair value of the investment using various valuation techniques, including, but not limited to, discounted cash flow models, which consider inputs such as the Company’s intent and ability to retain its investment in the entity, the financial condition and long-term prospects of the entity, and the expected term of the investment. If the Company determined any decline in value is other-than-temporary, the Company would recognize an impairment charge to reduce the carrying value of its investment to fair value. No impairment losses were recorded related to equity method investees for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.
With regard to distributions from equity method investees, we utilize the cumulative earnings approach to determine whether distributions from equity method investments are returns on investment (cash inflow from operating activities) or returns of investment (cash inflow from investing activities). Using the cumulative earnings approach, the Company compares cumulative distributions received for each investment, less distributions received in prior periods that were determined to be returns of investment, with the Company’s cumulative equity in earnings. Generally, cumulative distributions received that do not exceed cumulative equity in earnings represent returns on investment and cumulative distributions received in excess of the cumulative equity in earnings represent returns of investment.
Real Estate Debt Investments
Our real estate debt investments are classified as held to maturity, as we have both the intent and ability to hold these investments until maturity. Accordingly, these assets are carried at cost, net of unamortized loan origination costs and fees, discounts, repayments and unfunded commitments, if applicable, unless such loans or investments are deemed to be impaired. The Company’s real estate debt investments are subject to periodic analysis for potential loan impairment.
A debt related investment is impaired when, based on current information and events (including economic, industry and geographical factors), it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts due, both principal and interest, according to the contractual terms of the agreement. When an investment is deemed impaired, the impairment is measured based on the expected future cash flows discounted at the investment’s effective interest rate. As a practical expedient, FASB ASC 310, Receivables, permits a creditor to measure an observable market price for the impaired debt related investment as an alternative to discounting expected future cash flows. Regardless of the measurement method, a creditor should measure impairment based on the fair value of the collateral when the creditor determines that foreclosure is probable. A real estate debt investment is also considered impaired if its terms are modified in a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”). A TDR occurs when we grant a concession to a borrower in financial difficulty by modifying the original terms of the loan. Impairments on TDR loans are generally measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the effective interest rate of the original loan. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, no real estate debt investments were considered impaired. No impairment losses were recorded related to real estate debt investments during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. During the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, we did not have any TDRs.
F-8
We have certain investments that are legally structured as equity investments in subsidiaries with rights to receive preferred economic returns (referred to throughout these Notes as “preferred equity” investments). We report these investments as real estate debt investments when the common equity holders have a contractual obligation to redeem our preferred equity interest at a specified date.
Investment in Rental Real Estate Properties
In accordance with FASB ASC 805, Business Combinations, the Company first determines whether the acquisition of a property qualifies as a business combination, which requires that the assets acquired and liabilities assumed constitute a business. If the property acquired does not constitute a business, the Company accounts for the transaction as an asset acquisition. The guidance for business combinations states that when substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets to be acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets, the asset or set of assets is not a business. All property acquisitions to date have been accounted for as asset acquisitions.
Upon acquisition of a property, the Company assesses the fair value of acquired tangible and intangible assets (including land, buildings, site improvements, above- and below-market leases, acquired in-place leases, other identified intangible assets and assumed liabilities) and allocates the purchase price on a relative fair value basis (including capitalized transaction costs) to the acquired assets and assumed liabilities. The fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired property considers the value of the property as if it were vacant.
The amortization of in-place leases is recorded as an adjustment to depreciation and amortization expense on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. The amortization of above or below-market leases is recorded as an adjustment to rental revenue on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. We consider qualitative and quantitative factors in evaluating the likelihood of a tenant exercising a below-market renewal option and include such renewal options in the calculation of in-place lease value when we consider these to be bargain renewal options. If the value of below-market lease intangibles includes renewal option periods, we include such renewal periods in the amortization period utilized. If a tenant vacates its space prior to contractual termination of its lease, the unamortized balance of any in-place lease value is written off.
Significant improvements to rental real estate properties are capitalized. Expenditures for ordinary maintenance and repairs are expensed to operations as incurred. We capitalize expenditures that improve or extend the life of a property and for certain furniture and fixtures additions.
Costs capitalized in connection with rental real estate property acquisitions and improvement activities are depreciated over their estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis. The depreciation period commences upon the cessation of improvement related activities. For those costs capitalized in connection with rental real estate properties acquisitions and improvement activities and those capitalized on an ongoing basis, the useful lives range of the assets are as follows:
| Description | Depreciable Life | |
| Buildings and building improvements | 20 – 30 years | |
| Site improvements | 10 – 20 years | |
| Furniture, fixtures and equipment | 5 – 10 years | |
| Lease intangibles | Over lease term |
We evaluate our real estate properties for impairment when there is an event or change in circumstances that indicates an impaired value. If the carrying amount of the real estate investment is no longer recoverable and exceeds the fair value of such investment, an impairment loss is recognized. The impairment loss is recognized based on the excess of the carrying amount of the asset over its fair value. If the Company determines that an impairment has occurred, the affected assets must be reduced to their fair value. During the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, no such impairment occurred.
F-9
Real Estate Deposits
During the closing on an investment in rental real estate property or real estate held for improvement, we may place a cash deposit on the property being acquired or fund amounts into escrow. These deposits are placed before the closing process of the property is complete. If subsequent to placing the deposit, we acquire the property (the deed is transferred to us), the deposit placed will be credited to the purchase price. If subsequent to placing the deposit, we do not acquire the property (deed is not transferred to us), the deposit will be returned to us. The Company may pay a deposit for a property that is ultimately acquired by a related party fund. Upon acquisition of the property, the related party fund would reimburse the Company for the full amount of the deposit.
Share Redemptions
Share repurchases are recorded as a reduction of common share par value under our redemption plan, pursuant to which we may elect to redeem shares at the request of our members, subject to certain exceptions, conditions, and limitations. The maximum number of shares purchasable by us in any period depends on a number of factors and is at the discretion of our Manager.
The Company’s redemption plan provides that on a quarterly basis, subject to certain exceptions, a member could obtain liquidity as described in detail in our Offering Circular.
Pursuant to the Company’s redemption plan, a member may only (a) have one outstanding redemption request at any given time and (b) request that we redeem up to the lesser of 5,000 shares or $50,000 worth of shares per each redemption request. In addition, the redemption plan is subject to certain liquidity limitations, which may fluctuate depending on the liquidity of the real estate assets held by the Company. Redemptions for shares held less than 5 years are also subject to a flat 1% penalty to the NAV per share in effect at the time of the redemption request. Redemptions are processed on a first-in, first-out basis, meaning those shares submitted by a shareholder for redemption in any given month or quarter that have been continuously held for the longest amount of time will be redeemed first.
In light of the SEC’s current guidance on redemption plans, we generally intend to limit redemptions in any calendar quarter to shares whose aggregate value (based on the repurchase price per share in effect as of the first day of the last month of such calendar quarter) is 5.00% of the NAV of all of our outstanding shares as of first day of the last month of such calendar quarter (e.g., March 1, June 1, September 1, or December 1), with excess capacity carried over to later calendar quarters in that calendar year. However, as we make a number of commercial real estate investments of varying terms and maturities, our Manager may elect to increase or decrease the amount of common shares available for redemption in any given quarter, as these commercial real estate assets are paid off or sold, but we do not intend to redeem more than 20.00% of the common shares outstanding during any calendar year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we are not obligated to redeem common shares under the redemption plan.
In addition, our Manager may, in its sole discretion, amend, suspend, or terminate the redemption plan at any time without prior notice, including to protect our operations and our non-redeemed members, to prevent an undue burden on our liquidity, to preserve our status as a REIT, following any material decrease in our NAV, or for any other reason. However, in the event that we amend, suspend or terminate our redemption plan, we will file an offering circular supplement and/or Form 1-U, as appropriate, and post such information on our website to disclose such amendment. Our Manager may also, in its sole discretion, decline any particular redemption request if it believes such action is necessary to preserve our status as a REIT. Therefore, a member may not have the opportunity to make a redemption request prior to any potential termination of the Company’s redemption plan.

Income Taxes
As a limited liability company, we have elected to be taxed as a C corporation. Commencing with the taxable year ending December 31, 2016, the Company operates in a manner intended to qualify for treatment as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. To qualify as a REIT, the Company must meet certain organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement to distribute at least 90% of the Company’s annual REIT taxable income to its members (which is computed without regard to the distributions paid deduction or net capital gain and which does not necessarily equal net income as calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP). As a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax to the extent it distributes qualifying distributions to its members. Even if the Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT, it may be subject to certain state and local taxes on its income and property, and federal income and excise taxes on its undistributed income. No material provisions have been made for federal income taxes in the accompanying consolidated financial statements during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. No gross deferred tax assets or liabilities have been recorded as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.
As of June 30, 2022, the tax period for the taxable year ending December 31, 2018 and all tax periods following remain open to examination by the major taxing authorities in all jurisdictions where we are subject to taxation.
Revenue Recognition
Rental revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. We will periodically review the collectability of our tenant receivables and record an allowance for doubtful accounts for any estimated probable losses. Rental revenue is recorded net of bad debt expense in the consolidated financial statements.
Interest revenue is recognized on an accrual basis and any related premium, discount, origination costs and fees are amortized over the life of the investment using the effective interest method. Interest revenue is recognized on real estate debt investments classified as held to maturity securities.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases, which changes the accounting for leases for both lessors and lessees. The guidance requires lessees to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for virtually all of their leases, including leases embedded in other contractual arrangements, among other changes. The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2021, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. We are currently assessing the impact of this update on the presentation of our consolidated financial statements.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which requires the measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held at amortized cost. ASU 2016-13 replaces the existing incurred loss impairment model with an expected loss methodology, which will result in more timely recognition of credit losses. ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. We are currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on our consolidated financial statements.
Due to the business disruptions and challenges severely affecting the global economy caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, many lessors may provide rent deferrals and other lease concessions to lessees. While the lease modification guidance in ASC 840, Leases ("ASC 840") addresses routine changes to lease terms resulting from negotiations between the lessee and the lessor, this guidance did not contemplate an exceptionally high volume of concessions being so rapidly executed to address the sudden liquidity constraints of certain lessees caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. In April 2020, the FASB issued a question and answer document that allows lessors to elect not to evaluate whether lease-related relief provided to mitigate the economic effects of COVID-19 is a lease modification under ASC 840. This election would allow lessors to bypass a lease-by-lease analysis, and instead choose to either apply the lease modification accounting framework or not, with such election applied consistently to leases with similar characteristics and similar circumstances. Lessors making this election would continue to recognize property rental revenue on a straight-line basis. Rent abatements would be recognized as reductions to property rental revenue during the period for which they relate. Rent deferrals would not impact the recognition of property rental revenue, but would result in an increase to tenant receivables during the deferral period.
F-11
We did not grant any lease-related relief as a result of COVID-19 during the six months ended June 30, 2022. In the future, we may be in discussions with tenants to grant concessions and additional lease-related relief, such as the deferral of lease payments, for a period of time. We have elected to account for possible COVID-19 related concessions provided to our tenants as a deferred payment in which we will continue to recognize rental revenue on the existing straight-line basis over the remaining applicable lease term. Any changes in payment will be recognized through rent receivables, which is recorded in “Other assets” in our consolidated balance sheets. Any identified uncollectible amounts related to the deferred payments will be recognized as an adjustment to rental revenue.
Extended Transition Period
Under Section 107 of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, we are permitted to use the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. This permits us to delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to use the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date that we (i) are no longer an emerging growth company or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B). By electing to extend the transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards, these financial statements may not be comparable to companies that adopt accounting standard updates upon the public business entity effective dates.

Credit Quality Monitoring
The Company’s real estate debt investments that earn interest based on debt-like terms are typically secured by senior liens on real estate properties, mortgage payments, mortgage loans, or interests in entities that have preferred interests in real estate similar to the interests just described. The Company evaluates its real estate debt investments and differentiates the relative credit quality principally based on: (i) whether the borrower is currently paying contractual debt service or guaranteed preferred equity payments in accordance with its contractual terms; and (ii) whether the Company believes the borrower will be able to perform under its contractual terms in the future, as well as the Company’s expectations as to the ultimate recovery of principal at maturity. The Company considered investments for which it expects to receive full payment of contractual principal and interest payments as “performing.” As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, all investments were considered to be performing. In the event that an investment is deemed other than performing, the Company will evaluate the instrument for any required impairment.

| 10. | Fair Value of Financial Instruments |
We are required to disclose an estimate of fair value of our financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate the value. U.S. GAAP defines the fair value as the price that the Company would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. For certain of our financial instruments, fair values are not readily available since there are no active trading markets as characterized by current exchanges by willing parties.
We determine the fair value of certain investments in accordance with the fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs. The fair value hierarchy includes the following three levels based on the objectivity of the inputs, which were used for categorizing the assets or liabilities for which fair value is being measured and reported:
Level 1 – Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 – Significant other observable inputs (e.g., quoted prices for similar items in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar items in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable such as interest rate and yield curves, and market-corroborated inputs).
Level 3 – Valuation generated from model-based techniques that use inputs that are significant and unobservable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect estimates of inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques include use of option pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques, which incorporate management’s own estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the instrument or valuations that require significant management judgment or estimation.
As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company’s significant financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, real estate debt investments (inclusive of interest revenue received in kind), and mortgage and other notes payable. With the exception of real estate debt investments and mortgage payable, the carrying amount of the Company’s financial instruments approximates their fair values due to their short-term nature.
As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the aggregate carrying value of our real estate debt investments, inclusive of interest revenue received in kind, was approximately $9.3 million and $12.8 million, respectively, and the aggregate fair value approximated their carrying value. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the aggregate carrying value of our mortgage payable was approximately $62.7 million and $62.9 million, respectively, and the aggregate fair value was approximately $60.5 million and $65.2 million, respectively.
The aggregate fair value of our real estate debt investments, including interest revenue received in kind, is based on unobservable Level 3 inputs which management has determined to be its best estimate of current fair values. The methods utilized generally included a discounted cash flow method (an income approach) and recent investment method (a market approach). Significant inputs and assumptions include the market-based interest or preferred return rate, loan to value ratios, and expected repayment and prepayment dates. Where inputs are not observable, we review the appropriateness of the proposed valuation methodology to ensure it is consistent with how a market participant would arrive at the unobservable input. The valuation methodologies utilized in the absence of observable inputs may include extrapolation techniques and the use of comparable observable inputs. The discount rates utilized were approximately 9% to 11%.
The aggregate fair value of our mortgage payable is based on unobservable Level 3 inputs which management has determined to be its best estimate of current fair values. The methods utilized generally included a discounted cash flow method (an income approach) and recent investment method (a market approach). Significant inputs and assumptions include market-based interest or preferred return rate, loan to value ratios, and expected repayment and prepayment dates. The discount rate utilized was approximately 5%.
F-19
Any changes to the valuation methodology will be reviewed by management to ensure the changes are appropriate. The methods used may produce a fair value calculation that is not indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, while we anticipate that our valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies, or assumptions, to determine the fair value could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date.

Fundrise Lending, LLC
As an alternative means of acquiring loans or other investments for which we do not yet have sufficient funds, and in order to comply with certain state lending requirements, Fundrise Lending, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of our Sponsor, or its affiliates may close and fund a loan or other investment prior to it being acquired by us. This allows us the flexibility to deploy our offering proceeds as funds are raised. We then will acquire such investment at a price equal to the fair market value of the loan or other investment (including reimbursements for servicing fees and accrued interest, if any), so there is no mark-up (or mark-down) at the time of our acquisition. During the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company did not purchase any investments from Fundrise Lending, LLC.
For situations where our Sponsor, Manager or their affiliates have a conflict of interest with us that is not otherwise covered by an existing policy we have adopted or a transaction is deemed to be a “principal transaction”, the Manager has appointed an independent representative (the “Independent Representative”) to protect the interests of the members and review and approve such transactions. Any compensation payable to the Independent Representative for serving in such capacity on our behalf will be payable by us. Principal transactions are defined as transactions between our Sponsor, Manager or their affiliates, on the one hand, and us or one of our subsidiaries, on the other hand. Our Manager is only authorized to execute principal transactions with the prior approval of the Independent Representative and in accordance with applicable law. Such prior approval may include but not be limited to pricing methodology for the acquisition of assets and/or liabilities for which there are no readily observable market prices. During the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, fees of approximately $5,000 and $3,000, respectively, were paid to the Independent Representative as compensation for those services and are included as general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of operations.

Investment in National Lending, LLC
In July 2019, our Manager formed a self-sustaining lending entity, National Lending, which is financed by each of the real estate investment trusts managed by our Manager and affiliated with our Sponsor (“eREITs”). National Lending is managed by an independent manager (the “Independent Manager”) through a management agreement at a market rate. Each eREIT contributes an amount to National Lending in exchange for ownership interests, originally not to exceed 3% of its assets under management to National Lending. On March 23, 2020, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Operating Agreement with National Lending, which increased the maximum contribution for partnership interest from 3% to approximately 5% of a partner’s assets under management. Accordingly, the Company has a continuous funding commitment to maintain a total contribution amount of up to 5% of its assets under management to National Lending. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company has contributed approximately $6.0 million and $4.8 million for a 10.5% and 7.2% ownership in National Lending, respectively.
National Lending may provide short-term bridge financing through promissory notes to any of the eREITs, including us, who have contributed to it in order to maintain greater liquidity and better finance such eREIT’s individual real estate investment strategies. The promissory notes bear a market rate of interest and are generally repaid via the capital raised by each of the borrowing eREITs’ offerings. All transactions between National Lending and the borrowing eREIT are reviewed by the Independent Manager.
