STATEMENTS REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

We make statements in this Annual Report on Form 1-K (“Annual Report”) that are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. The words “outlook,” “believe,” “estimate,” “potential,” “projected,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “seek,” “may,” “could” and similar expressions or statements regarding future periods are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that could cause our actual results, performance or achievements, or industry results, to differ materially from any predictions of future results, performance or achievements that we express or imply in this Annual Report or in the information incorporated by reference into this Annual Report.

The forward-looking statements included in this Annual Report 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 effectively deploy the proceeds raised in our offering (the “Offering”);

our ability to attract and retain shareholders to the online investment platform located at www.fundrise.com (the “Fundrise Platform”) of Rise Companies Corp. (our “Sponsor”);

risks associated with breaches of our data security;

public health crises, pandemics and epidemics, such as those caused by new strains of viruses such as H5N1 (avian flu), severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and, most recently, the novel coronavirus (COVID-19);

climate change and natural disasters that could adversely affect our properties and our business;

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

limited ability to dispose of assets because of the relative illiquidity of real estate investments;

intense competition in the real estate market that may limit our ability to attract or retain tenants or re-lease space;

defaults on or non-renewal of leases by tenants;

increased interest rates and operating costs;

our failure to obtain necessary outside financing;

decreased rental rates or increased vacancy rates;

the risk associated with potential breach or expiration of a ground lease, if any;

difficulties in identifying properties to complete, and consummating, real estate acquisitions, developments, joint ventures and dispositions;

our failure to successfully operate acquired properties and operations;

exposure to liability relating to environmental and health and safety matters;

changes in real estate and zoning laws and increases in real property tax rates;

our failure to maintain our status as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”);

failure of acquisitions to yield anticipated results;

risks associated with derivatives or hedging activity;

our level of debt and the terms and limitations imposed on us by our debt agreements;

the need to invest additional equity in connection with debt refinancings as a result of reduced asset values;

our ability to retain our executive officers and other key personnel of our advisor, our property manager and their affiliates;

expected rates of return provided to investors;

the ability of our Sponsor and its affiliates to source, originate and service our loans and other assets, and the quality and performance of these assets;

our ability to retain and hire competent employees and appropriately staff our operations;

legislative or regulatory changes impacting our business or our assets (including changes to the laws governing the taxation of REITs and the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) guidance related to Regulation A (“Regulation A”) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”));

changes in business conditions and the market value of our assets, including changes in interest rates, prepayment risk, operator or borrower defaults or bankruptcy, and generally the increased risk of loss if our investments fail to perform as expected;

our ability to implement effective conflicts of interest policies and procedures among the various real estate investment opportunities sponsored by our Sponsor;

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

our compliance with applicable local, state and federal laws, including the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the “Advisers Act”), the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and other laws; and

changes to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”).

Any of the assumptions underlying forward-looking statements could be inaccurate. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements included in this Annual Report. All forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this Annual Report and the risk that actual results will differ materially from the expectations expressed in this Annual Report will increase with the passage of time. Except as otherwise required by the federal securities laws, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements after the date of this Annual Report, whether as a result of new information, future events, changed circumstances or any other reason. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements included in this Annual Report, including, without limitation, the risks described under “Risk Factors,” the inclusion of such forward-looking statements should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person that the objectives and plans set forth in this Annual Report will be achieved.

Item 1.

Business

Fundrise Growth eREIT V, LLC is a Delaware limited liability company formed on April 3, 2019 to originate, invest in and manage a diversified portfolio of commercial real estate properties. We may also invest, to a limited extent, in commercial real estate loans, as well as commercial real estate debt securities and other select real estate-related assets. We may make our investments through majority-owned subsidiaries, some of which may have rights to receive preferred economic returns. The Company has one reportable segment consisting of investments in real estate. The use of the terms “Fundrise Growth eREIT V”, the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our” in this Annual Report refer to Fundrise Growth eREIT V, LLC unless the context indicates otherwise.

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 our Sponsor, the parent company of Fundrise, LLC, our affiliate. Fundrise, LLC owns and operates the Fundrise Platform, 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.

Investment Strategy

We originate, acquire, asset manage, operate, selectively leverage, syndicate and opportunistically sell commercial real estate properties. We acquire and operate real estate and real estate-related assets on an opportunistic basis. Our management has extensive experience investing in numerous types of properties. Thus, we may acquire a wide variety of commercial properties, including office, industrial, retail, hospitality, recreation and leisure, single-tenant, multifamily and other real properties. These properties may be existing, income-producing properties, newly constructed properties or properties under development or construction and may include multifamily properties purchased for conversion into condominiums and single-tenant properties that may be converted for multifamily use. We focus on acquiring properties with significant possibilities for capital appreciation, such as those requiring development, redevelopment or repositioning, those located in markets with high growth potential and those available from sellers who are distressed or face time-sensitive deadlines. We also may invest in real estate-related securities, including securities issued by other real estate companies, either for investment or in change of control transactions completed on a negotiated basis or otherwise, and in bridge and mezzanine loans that may lead to an opportunity to purchase a real estate interest. In addition, to the extent that our Manager and its investment committee determines that it is advantageous, we also may make or invest in commercial mortgage-backed securities, mortgage loans and tenant-in-common interests. We expect that our portfolio of debt investments, if any, will be secured primarily by U.S. based collateral and diversified by security type, property type and geographic location.

We may enter into one or more joint ventures, tenant-in-common investments or other co-ownership arrangements for the acquisition, development or improvement of properties with third parties or affiliates of our Manager, including present and future real estate investment offering and REITs sponsored by affiliates of our Sponsor. We also may serve as mortgage lender to, or acquire interests in or securities issued by, these joint ventures, tenant-in-common investments or other joint venture arrangements.

In executing on our business strategy, we believe that we benefit from our Manager’s affiliation with our Sponsor given our Sponsor’s strong track record and extensive experience and capabilities as an online real estate origination and funding platform. These competitive advantages include:

·	our Sponsor’s experience and reputation as a leading real estate investment manager, which historically has given it access to a large investment pipeline similar to our targeted assets and the key market data we use to underwrite and portfolio manage assets;

·	our Sponsor’s direct and online origination capabilities, which are amplified by a proprietary technology platform, business process automation, and a large user base, of which a significant portion are seeking capital for real estate projects;

·	our Sponsor’s relationships with financial institutions and other lenders that originate and distribute commercial real estate debt and other real estate-related products and that finance the types of assets we intend to acquire and originate;

·	our Sponsor’s experienced portfolio management team which actively monitors each investment through an established regime of analysis, credit review and protocol; and

·	our Sponsor’s management team, which has a successful track record of making commercial real estate investments in a variety of market conditions.

Investment Objectives

Our primary investment objectives are:

·	to realize growth in the value of our investments within approximately seven years of the termination of our Offering;

·	to grow net cash from operations so that an increasing amount of cash flow is available for distributions to investors over the long term;

to enable investors to realize a return on their investment by beginning the process of liquidating and distributing cash to investors within approximately seven years of the termination of our Offering, or providing liquidity through alternative means such as in-kind distributions of our own securities or other assets; and

·	to preserve, protect and return shareholders’ capital contributions.

We also seek to realize growth in the value of our investments by timing their sale to maximize value. However, there is no assurance that our investment objectives will be met. We cannot assure you that we will attain these objectives or that the value of our assets will not decrease. Furthermore, within our investment objectives and policies, our Manager has substantial discretion with respect to the selection of specific investments and the purchase and sale of our assets. Our Manager’s investment committee will review our investment guidelines at least annually to determine whether our investment guidelines continue to be in the best interests of our shareholders.

Competition

Our net income depends, in large part, on our ability to source, acquire and manage investments with attractive risk-adjusted yields. We compete with many other entities engaged in real estate investment activities, including individuals, corporations, bank and insurance company investment accounts, other REITs, private real estate funds, and other entities engaged in real estate investment activities as well as online lending platforms that compete with the Fundrise Platform, many of which have greater financial resources and lower costs of capital available to them than we have. In addition, there are numerous REITs with asset acquisition objectives similar to ours, and others may be organized in the future, which may increase competition for the investments suitable for us. Competitive variables include market presence and visibility, amount of capital to be invested per project and underwriting standards. To the extent that a competitor is willing to risk larger amounts of capital in a particular transaction or to employ more liberal underwriting standards when evaluating potential investments than we are, our investment volume and profit margins for our investment portfolio could be impacted. Our competitors may also be willing to accept lower returns on their investments and may succeed in buying the assets that we have targeted for acquisition. Although we believe that we are well positioned to compete effectively in each facet of our business, there is enormous competition in our market sector and there can be no assurance that we will compete effectively or that we will not encounter increased competition in the future that could limit our ability to conduct our business effectively.

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 latest offering circular filed with the SEC (the “Offering Circular”), which may be accessed here, as the same may be updated from time to time by our future filings under Regulation A. 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.

Item 2.

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. 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. Unless otherwise indicated, the latest results discussed below are as of December 31, 2020.

Offering Results

We have offered, are offering, and may offer in the future up to $50.0 million in our common shares in any rolling twelve-month period. The SEC adopted an amendment to increase the maximum offering amount under Tier 2 of Regulation A from $50.0 million to $75.0 million. This amendment is effective March 15, 2021, and the Company may utilize this increased offering amount in the future. The Offering has been 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 December 31, 2020 and 2019, we had raised total gross offering proceeds of approximately $49.8 million and $39.2 million, respectively, from settled subscriptions (including $15,000 received in the private placements to our Sponsor, and Fundrise, LP, an affiliate of our Sponsor), and had settled subscriptions in our Offering and private placements for an aggregate of approximately 4,975,000 and 3,921,000, respectively, of our common shares.

As of October 30, 2020, 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, as determined by the Manager.

We expect to offer common shares in our Offering until we raise the maximum amount permitted based on the maximum number of common shares we are able to qualify under Regulation A at any given time, unless terminated by our Manager at an earlier time. Until June 30, 2020, 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 for our common shares has been and will continue to be adjusted at the beginning of each semiannual period, or such other period as determined by our Manager in its sole discretion, but no less frequently than annually. Our Manager has initially determined to adjust the per share purchase price semiannually, as of January 1st and July 1st of each year (or as soon as commercially reasonable and announced by us thereafter), to the greater of (i) $10.00 per share or (ii) our net asset value (“NAV”) divided by the number of our common shares outstanding as of the end of the prior semiannual period (“NAV per share”).

Below is the semiannual NAV per share, as determined in accordance with our valuation policies. Linked in the table is the relevant Form 1-U detailing each NAV evaluation method, incorporated by reference herein.

Date	NAV Per Share		Link
June 30, 2020	$	10.12	Form 1-U
December 31, 2020	$	10.51	Form 1-U

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 monthly or 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. For example, in response to the global outbreak of a new strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”), the Manager determined to delay or reduce distributions in the short-term in order to preserve liquidity at the Company level; however, the Manager does not expect this trend to continue long-term, as, among other things, as a REIT, we are required to distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income annually.

When calculated on a tax basis, distributions were made 13% from ordinary income and 87% from return of capital for the year ended December 31, 2020.

On July 30, 2020, we declared our first distribution to shareholders for the distribution period August 1, 2020 through August 31, 2020.

	(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 August 1, 2020 through April 30, 2021.

	(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 will directly impact 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 your investment, your distributions plus the change in NAV per share (either positive or negative) will produce your 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 holder’s adjusted tax basis in the holder’s shares, and to the extent that it exceeds the holder’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 on an ongoing basis for their investment in our shares. Through December 31, 2019, the Company's redemption plan provided that, on a monthly basis, after observing a mandatory 60-day waiting period, a shareholder could obtain liquidity as described in detail in our Offering Circular. Effective as of January 1, 2020, we revised our redemption plan to implement quarterly instead of monthly redemption requests, and the elimination of the 60-day waiting period. Further, our new policy includes the provision for separate redemption rights in the case of death or “qualifying disability” that eliminates any penalty for redemption in such circumstances and permits the redemption of shares at 100% of the per share price of our common shares in effect at the time of the redemption request. 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.

Effective as of March 31, 2020, our Manager determined to (i) suspend the processing and payment of redemptions under our redemption plan until further notice, and (ii) delay the consideration and processing of all outstanding redemption requests until further notice. We resumed the processing and payment of redemptions under our redemption plan as of June 30, 2020. As such, and combined with the change in processing redemptions quarterly instead of monthly and increased redemption requests arising from the COVID-19 pandemic, redemptions payable have increased by approximately $1.2 million on the balance sheet from December 31, 2019 to December 31, 2020.

As of December 31, 2020, approximately 572,000 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 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.

Investments in Equity Method Investees Impairment

The Company evaluates its investments in equity method investees for impairment at least annually, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that there may be an other-than-temporary decline in value. The Company estimates the fair value of the investment using various valuation techniques including, but not limited to, discounted cash flow models, 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 and Real Estate Held for Improvement

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment annually, or 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, 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 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 (“ASU”) that may have an impact on our consolidated financial statements. See Recent Accounting Pronouncements in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in our 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 JOBS Act, 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.

Sources of Operating Revenues and Cash Flows

We expect to primarily generate revenues from cash flow distributions from equity method investees, rent from real estate properties, and equity in earnings from our investments in unconsolidated joint ventures. 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 did not substantially commence operations until October 10, 2019. Accordingly, for the year ended December 31, 2020 and the period April 3, 2019 (inception) through December 31, 2019, we had total net income (loss) of approximately $(2.1 million) and $7,000, respectively.

Revenue

Rental Revenue

For the year ended December 31, 2020 and the period April 3, 2019 (inception) through December 31, 2019, we earned rental revenue of approximately $4.5 million and $0, respectively, from the operation of rental real estate property. The increase in rental revenue is due to the acquisition of our first rental real estate property in March 2020.

Other Revenue

For the year ended December 31, 2020 and the period April 3, 2019 (inception) through December 31, 2019, we had other revenue of approximately $107,000 and $12,000, respectively. This revenue was primarily comprised of dividends received from our money market investments. The increase in other revenue is driven by the continuation of our Offering, and therefore having more capital to invest during the year ended December 31, 2020.

Expenses

Depreciation and Amortization

For the year ended December 31, 2020 and the period April 3, 2019 (inception) through December 31, 2019, we incurred depreciation and amortization expense of approximately $2.6 million and $0, respectively. The increase in depreciation and amortization expense is due to the acquisition of our first rental real estate property in March 2020.

Property Operating and Maintenance

For the year ended December 31, 2020 and the period April 3, 2019 (inception) through December 31, 2019, we incurred property operating and maintenance expense of approximately $1.9 million and $0, respectively, which includes property taxes, utilities, repairs, and other operating costs. The increase in property operating and maintenance expense is due to the acquisition of our first rental real estate property in March 2020.

Asset Management and Other Fees – Related Party

For the year ended December 31, 2020 and the period April 3, 2019 (inception) through December 31, 2019, we incurred asset management fees due to the Manager of approximately $407,000 and $0, respectively. The increase in the amount of asset management fees is due to the commencement of operations in October 2019 and the expiration of the fee waiver period. See Note 11, Related Party Arrangements for further information.

General and Administrative Expenses

For the year ended December 31, 2020 and the period April 3, 2019 (inception) through December 31, 2019, we incurred general and administrative expenses of approximately $380,000 and $7,000, respectively, which includes auditing and professional fees, bank fees, software and subscription costs, transfer agent fees, and other expenses associated with operating our business.

Other (Expense) Income

Interest Expense

For the year ended December 31, 2020 and the period April 3, 2019 (inception) through December 31, 2019, we incurred interest expense of approximately $756,000 and $0, respectively. The increase in interest expense is due to the assumption of a mortgage payable as part of the acquisition of our first rental real estate property in March 2020.

Decrease in Fair Value of Financial Instruments

For the year ended December 31, 2020 and the period April 3, 2019 (inception) through December 31, 2019, we had an unrealized loss on our derivative instrument of approximately $715,000 and $0, respectively. The increase in unrealized losses is due to the interest rate swap contract entered into in connection with our assumption of a mortgage payable as part of the acquisition of our first rental real estate property in March 2020.

Our Investments

As of December 31, 2020, we have entered into the following investments. See “Recent Developments” for a description of any investments we have made since December 31, 2020. Note that the use of the term “controlled subsidiary” is not intended to conform with the U.S. GAAP definition and does not correlate to a subsidiary that would require consolidation under U.S. GAAP.

As of December 31, 2020, the Company's investments in companies that are accounted for under the equity method of accounting included the initial and subsequent 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 December 31, 2020, we had deployed approximately $44.0 million in equity for three investments and had approximately $3.4 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 December 31, 2020, we anticipate that cash on hand and proceeds from our Offering will provide sufficient liquidity to meet future funding commitments and costs of operations.

We may selectively 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. We currently have outstanding unsecured Company level debt of approximately $3.5 million and $1.5 million as of April 12, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. This does not include any debt secured by the real property of our consolidated or unconsolidated investments. Our targeted portfolio-wide leverage after we have acquired an initial substantial portfolio of diversified investments is between 50-85% of the greater of cost (before deducting depreciation or other non-cash reserves) or fair market value of our assets. During the period when we are acquiring 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 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.

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. The Company 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

According to the IMF, the COVID-19 global pandemic was the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression. The Vanguard Real Estate Index was down -9.05% at the end of Q3 and -4.72% for the year 2020. Despite these adverse circumstances, the Company achieved a net return in 2020 of 5.14%. The positive performance represents a validation of the Company’s investment strategies, sound underwriting, and active asset management.

We are encouraged by the stability of our real estate performance in the face of such headwinds. The Company outperformed its peers as a result of its focus on residential property in the Sunbelt. Our largest asset, the C20 Controlled Subsidiary in Alexandria, VA, purchased in March 2020, has a mix of office and retail tenants with a large portion of tenants that receive the majority of their income from contracts with the federal government. Ongoing COVID-19 restrictions had resulted in some tenants moving to month-to-month leases at the property. However, tenants have resumed paying rent and the property cash flows are normalizing. As of December 31, 2020, we were in compliance with all financial covenants per the loan and guarantee agreement.

The other asset in the portfolio, the B19 Controlled Subsidiary in Landover, MD, was acquired without leverage, and Management continues to make steady progress in entitling the property for development later this year.

The US economy is rapidly recovering from the downturn with most major indicators showing strong signs of growth, including new job gains, consumer spending, consumer confidence, and investor sentiment:

"With the vaccine rollout in full swing, and now with a third supplier in the mix, job growth and economic recovery are expected to strengthen. LaborIQ® forecasts a strong rebound that will set off a tidal wave of hiring during the second half of the year, especially for sectors within Leisure and Hospitality, which we're already seeing as consumers return to pre-pandemic behaviors and resume spending," said Jay Denton, Chief Analyst and SVP of Business Intelligence for ThinkWhy, on March 5, 2021.

The economic tailwinds are likely broadly to drive rent growth, occupancy and asset pricing. On the other hand, economic vibrancy generally raises interest rates, construction costs, and will generally create a more competitive environment for the Company. The current interest rate environment dramatically eased as a result of the Federal Reserve materially lowering rates and broad based liquidity injections. Capital markets are vigilantly monitoring the Federal Reserve’s policy stance. Historically when markets recover, hard assets, such as real estate, see an increase in value as a result of economic expansion.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Managementʼs Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditorʼs Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditorʼs judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entityʼs preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entityʼs internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fundrise Growth eREIT V, LLC and its subsidiary as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2020 and period from April 3, 2019 (inception) through December 31, 2019 in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Fundrise Growth eREIT V, LLC

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Year Ended December 31, 2020 and the Period April 3, 2019 (Inception) to December 31, 2019

1.	Formation and Organization

Fundrise Growth eREIT V, LLC was formed on April 3, 2019, as a Delaware limited liability company and substantially commenced operations on October 10, 2019. As used herein, the “Company,” “we,” “our,” and “us” refer to Fundrise Growth eREIT V, 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 investments 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. Each real estate property held for improvement or for rent by the Company is acquired by a limited liability company that is a subsidiary of ours. These subsidiaries are wholly owned by the Company and consolidated in these financial statements.

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 intend to operate in such a manner as to qualify as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for federal income tax purposes beginning with the taxable year ending December 31, 2020. We hold substantially all of our assets directly, and as of December 31, 2020 have not established an operating partnership or any taxable REIT subsidiary or qualified REIT subsidiary, 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 offering of its common shares (the “Offering”) has been 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 happen sporadically over the term of the Offering. Currently, a maximum of $50.0 million of the Company’s common shares may be sold to the public in its Offering in any given twelve-month period. The SEC adopted an amendment to increase the maximum offering amount under Tier 2 of Regulation A from $50.0 million to $75.0 million. This amendment is effective March 15, 2021, and the Company may utilize this increased offering amount in the future. However, each Offering is subject to qualification by the SEC. The Manager has the authority to issue an unlimited number of common shares. The Company qualified its initial $50.0 million of common shares on October 4, 2019.

As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, after redemptions, the Company had net common shares outstanding of approximately 4,403,000 and 3,919,000, respectively, including common shares issued to Rise Companies Corp. (the “Sponsor”), the owner of the Manager. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Sponsor owned 500 common shares. In addition, as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, Fundrise, L.P., an affiliate of the Sponsor, had purchased an aggregate of 1,000 common shares at $10.00 per share in a private placement for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $10,000. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the total amount of equity outstanding by the Company on a gross basis was approximately $44.1 million and $39.2 million, respectively, and the total amount of settling subscriptions was approximately $0 and $1.8 million, respectively. These amounts were based on a per share price of $10.12 and $10.00 as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, 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.

F-6

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 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.

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.

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 members by the weighted-average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share of common stock equals basic net income (loss) per share of common stock as there were no potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the year ended December 31, 2020 and the period April 3, 2019 (inception) through December 31, 2019.

Organizational and Offering Costs

Organizational and offering costs of the Company were initially paid by the Manager on behalf of the Company. These organizational and offering costs include all expenses to be paid by the Company in connection with the formation of the Company and the qualification of the Offering, and the distribution of shares, including, without limitation, expenses for printing, and amending offering statements or supplementing offering circulars, mailing and distributing costs, telephones, internet and other telecommunications costs, 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. The Company anticipates that, pursuant to the Company’s amended and restated operating agreement (the “Operating Agreement”), the Company will be 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 has 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 can never exceed 0.50% of the aggregate gross offering proceeds from the offering provided. 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 and offering costs payable to the Manager when it is probable and estimable that a liability has been incurred in accordance with ASC 450, Contingencies. As a result, there will be no liability recognized until the Company reaches the Hurdle Rate. When the Company’s NAV exceeds 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.

F-7

As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Manager incurred total organizational and offering costs of approximately $140,000 and $99,000, respectively, on behalf of the Company. The Hurdle Rate was met as of December 31, 2020, so approximately $139,000 and $0 of organizational and offering costs were reimbursed or reimbursable to the Manager as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company reimbursed the Manager approximately $125,000 in offering costs. As such, approximately $14,000 and $0 of offering costs remained payable as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Of the total costs due to the Manager as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, approximately $15,000 and $0, respectively, were related to organizational costs and included as a general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of operations.

During the year ended December 31, 2020 and the period April 3, 2019 (inception) through December 31, 2019, the Company directly incurred offering costs of approximately $40,000 and $3,000, respectively. Of these amounts, $0 was payable as of December 31, 2020 and 2019.

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, originally recorded at cost, is adjusted 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 semiannually or 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, 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 year ended December 31, 2020 and the period April 3, 2019 (inception) through December 31, 2019.

Investment in Rental Real Estate Properties and Real Estate Held for Improvement

Our investments in rental real estate properties and real estate held for improvement may include the acquisition of unimproved land, homes, townhomes or condominiums, office space, or industrial properties that are i) held as rental properties or ii) held for redevelopment or are in the process of being renovated.

In accordance with 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 (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. During this process, we also evaluate each investment for purposes of determining whether a property can be immediately rented (presented on the consolidated balance sheets as “Investments in rental real estate properties, net”) or will need improvements or redevelopment (presented on the consolidated balance sheets as “Investments in real estate held for improvement”).

F-8

The amortization of in-place leases is recorded 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.

For rental real estate properties, significant improvements are capitalized. Expenditures for ordinary maintenance and repairs are expensed to operations as incurred. We capitalize expenditures above a pre-determined threshold that improve or extend the life of a property and for certain furniture and fixtures additions.

For real estate held for improvement, we capitalize the costs of improvement as a component of our investment in each property. These include renovation costs and other capitalized costs associated with activities that are directly related to preparing our properties for their intended use. Other costs may include interest, property taxes, property insurance, and utilities. The capitalization period associated with our improvement activities begins at such time that development activities commence and concludes at the time that a property is available to be rented or sold.

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
Building and building improvements		20 – 30 years
Site improvements		5 – 10 years
Furniture, fixtures and equipment		5 – 10 years
Lease intangibles		Over lease term

We evaluate our real estate properties for impairment semiannually or 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 are reduced to their fair value. During the year ended December 31, 2020 and the period April 3, 2019 (inception) through December 31, 2019, no such impairment occurred.

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.

Derivative Financial Instruments

Derivative financial instruments are initially recorded at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured to fair value at period end. Any gains or losses arising from changes in fair value on derivative contracts not designated for hedge accounting are recorded in our consolidated statements of operations as “Increase (decrease) in fair value of financial instruments.”

Debt Issuance Costs

We amortize external debt issuance costs using the straight-line method which approximates the effective interest rate method, over the estimated life of the related mortgage payable. We record debt issuance costs related to mortgage payable, net of amortization, on our consolidated balance sheets as an offset to their related mortgage payable. We record the amortization of all debt issuance costs as interest expense.

F-9

Deferred Leasing Costs

We capitalize and amortize direct and incremental costs associated with the successful negotiation of leases, on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective leases. Deferred leasing costs are classified in “Intangible lease assets, net” on the consolidated balance sheets. We record the amortization of deferred leasing costs in depreciation and amortization on the consolidated statements of operations. If an applicable lease terminates prior to the expiration of its initial lease term, we write off the carrying amount of the costs to amortization expense.

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.

Through December 31, 2019, the Company’s redemption plan provided that, on a monthly basis, an investor had the opportunity to obtain liquidity monthly, following a minimum 60-day waiting period after submitting their redemption request. Effective as of January 1, 2020, we revised our redemption plan to implement quarterly instead of monthly redemption requests, and the elimination of the 60-day waiting period. Further, our current policy includes the provision for separate redemption rights in the case of death or “qualifying disability” that eliminates any penalty for redemption in such circumstances and permits the redemption of shares at 100% of the per share price of our common shares in effect at the time of the redemption request.

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 are also subject to declining discounts on the redemption price over the course of the time the member has held the shares being redeemed.

In light of the SEC’s current guidance on redemption plans, we generally intend to limit the amount redeemed in any calendar quarter to shares whose aggregate value (based on the repurchase price per share in effect as of the redemption date) is 1.25% 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 intend to make a number of real estate investments of varying terms and maturities, our Manager may elect to increase or decrease the number of common shares available for redemption in any given quarter, as these real estate assets are paid off or sold, but we do not generally intend to redeem more than 5.00% 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.

Due to the uncertainty caused by the new strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”), our Manager had previously determined to suspend the processing and payment of redemptions under our redemption plan effective March 31, 2020. On June 30, 2020, our Manager resumed the processing and payment of redemptions under our 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, 2020, 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 dividends 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 dividends 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 for the year ended December 31, 2020 and the period April 3, 2019 (inception) through December 31, 2019. No gross deferred tax assets or liabilities have been recorded as of December 31, 2020 and 2019.

All tax periods since inception 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 will be recorded net of bad debt expense in the consolidated financial statements.

As of December 31, 2020, non-cancellable commercial operating leases provide for future minimum rental revenue from continuing operations as follows (amounts in thousands):

Year	Minimum Rental Revenue
2021	$	3,639
2022		2,919
2023		2,936
2024		2,106
2025		1,054
Thereafter		329
Total	$	12,983

The table above excludes contractual rental revenue from tenants with material past-due balances as of December 31, 2020. For the year ended December 31, 2020, one tenant accounted for approximately 16% of rental revenue. There was no rental revenue recorded for the period April 3, 2019 (inception) to December 31, 2019.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2020-04 (“ASU 2020-04”), Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), which eases the potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform on financial reporting. The guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. ASU 2020-04 is effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. We are currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-02 (“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. In June 2020, the FASB voted to delay the fiscal year effective date of this standard by one year, and the interim period effective date by one year. The standard will now be 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 these consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-13 (“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, 2020. In November 2019, the FASB voted to delay the effective date of this standard by two years. The standard will now be effective for annual reporting periods (including interim periods within those periods) 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 ("Q&A") 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

For the year ended December 31, 2020, we granted certain lease concessions at the C20 Property to select retail tenants whose businesses were severely impacted by the pandemic, which did not have a material impact on our financial statements. Although within the scope of the Q&A, we evaluated these concessions on a lease-by-lease basis, and accounted for the concessions as lease modifications under ASC 840. These concessions predominantly involved a change of timing of rent payments with no significant changes to total payments or term, as a deferred payment in which we continue recognize property revenue on the existing straight-line basis over the remaining lease term and recognize any changes in payment through deferred rent receivables, which is recorded in other assets, net, in our consolidated balance sheet.

We are evaluating this policy election on an ongoing basis and have not determined if any future lease-related relief we provide to mitigate the economic effects of COVID-19 would be treated as lease modifications under ASC 840. Discussions with tenants are ongoing and we may grant concessions and additional lease-related relief for a period of time. The nature and financial impact of potential future lease-related relief is currently unknown as negotiations are in progress.

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 of 1933, as amended (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.

5.	Intangible Lease Assets and Liabilities

As of both December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company’s intangible lease assets and liabilities consist of TI allowances, deferred leasing costs, in-place leases, above-market leases, and below-market leases, which were allocated from the purchase price of our March 2020 investment in rental real estate properties.

As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, in-place leases, net were approximately $2.7 million and $0, respectively. In-place lease assets are amortized over the life of the lease. For the year ended December 31, 2020 and the period April 3, 2019 (inception) to December 31, 2019, amortization of in-place lease assets was approximately $1.1 million and $0, respectively, and included in depreciation and amortization in the consolidated statements of operations.

As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, deferred leasing costs, net were approximately $1.3 million and $0, respectively.

38,500

For the year ended December 31, 2020 and the period April 3, 2019 (inception) through December 31, 2019, total debt issuance costs incurred was approximately $349,000 and $0, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2020 and the period April 3, 2019 (inception) through December 31, 2019, amortization of debt issuance costs was approximately $58,000 and $0, respectively, and included within interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations.

The mortgage loan contains a requirement for quarterly monitoring of the C20 Property’s debt service coverage ratio. Ongoing COVID-19 restrictions have resulted in some tenants moving to month-to-month leases at the property, with the rents from such leases excluded from the lender specified debt service coverage ratio calculation. As of December 31, 2020, management calculated a debt service coverage ratio below the lender specified threshold, resulting in the commencement of a cash sweep period, whereby the lender has the right, but no obligation, to review and sweep excess cash flow from the property bank account, and any such cash flow swept is held by the lender and can be used to fund tenant improvements or other leasing related costs, or potential future paydowns of the loan. This cash sweep period does not result in default of the loan, and the debt service coverage ratio will continue to be monitored on a quarterly basis. The mortgage loan also contains various financial and non-financial covenants. Included in these covenants are general liquidity and net worth requirements. As of December 31, 2020, we were in compliance with all financial covenants per the loan and guarantee agreement.

The mortgage loan requires monthly, interest-only payments until maturity, at which time the entire outstanding principal balance becomes due. During the year ended December 31, 2020 and the period April 3, 2019 (inception) through December 31, 2019, we incurred interest expense of approximately $698,000 and $0, respectively. The following table presents the future principal payments due under the Company’s mortgage notes as of December 31, 2020 (amounts in thousands):

Year	Amount

8.	Derivative Financial Instruments

Effective March 6, 2020 we entered into an interest rate swap agreement with a notional amount of $38.5 million to swap the floating interest rate of the C20 Property mortgage payable (see Note 7, Mortgage Payable) to a fixed rate of 0.7075% plus a 1.50% spread for an all-in fixed rate of approximately 2.21% over the initial term.

The interest rate swap is not for trading purposes and we have not designated the interest rate swap for hedge accounting treatment. As a result, changes in fair value of the interest rate swap are recognized in earnings immediately as “Increase (decrease) in fair value of financial instruments” in the consolidated statements of operations. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recognized approximately $715,000 of unrealized losses on derivative financial instruments. There were no derivative financial instruments as of December 31, 2019.

The fair value of the interest rate swap is estimated based on the expected future cash flows by incorporating the notional amount of the swaps, the contractual period to maturity, and observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves.

The fair value of the interest rate swaps as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 is shown below (dollar amounts in thousands):

					Derivative Assets (Liabilities)
Derivative Instrument	Notional Amount		Effective Date	Maturity Date	Fair Value as of December 31, 2020			Fair Value as of December 31, 2019
Interest rate swap	$	38,500	03/06/2020	03/06/2025	$	(715	)	$	-

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. The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which such financial instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced sale or liquidation. 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.

F-17

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 December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company’s significant financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, derivative financial instrument, notes payable, and mortgage payable. With the exception of the derivative financial instrument and mortgage payable, the carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature.

The only asset or liability we had as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 that is recorded at fair value on a recurring basis is the derivative financial instrument. As of December 31, 2020, management estimated the fair value of our derivative financial instrument to be approximately $715,000. There were no derivative financial instruments as of December 31, 2019. We classify these fair value measurements as Level 2 as we use significant other observable inputs.

As of December 31, 2020, the mortgage payable carrying value was $38.5 million and management estimated the fair value of our mortgage payable to be approximately $37.3 million. There were no mortgage payables as of December 31, 2019. We classify these fair value measurements as Level 3 as we use significant unobservable inputs and management judgment. 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.

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.

This rate is determined by our Manager in its sole discretion, but cannot exceed an annualized rate of 1.00%. In addition, the Manager may in its sole discretion waive its asset management fee, in whole or in part. The Manager will forfeit any portion of the asset management fee that is waived.

Our Manager may, in its sole discretion, waive its development management fee, in whole or in part. The Manager will forfeit any portion of the development management fee that is waived. For the year ended December 31, 2020 and the period April 3, 2019 (inception) through December 31, 2019, we have incurred development management fees of approximately $14,000 and $0, respectively.

Accordingly, for the year ended December 31, 2020 and the period April 3, 2019 (inception) through December 31, 2019, no special servicing fees have been paid or incurred.

The Company will reimburse our Manager for actual expenses incurred on our behalf in connection with the liquidation of equity investments in real estate, and we will also pay the Manager an equity disposition fee of up to 1.50% of the gross proceeds from such sale if our Manager is acting as the real estate developer or is engaged by the developer to sell the project.

Accordingly, for the year ended December 31, 2020 and the period April 3, 2019 (inception) through December 31, 2019, no disposition fees have been paid or incurred.

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 year ended December 31, 2020 and the period April 3, 2019 (inception) to December 31, 2019, the Company did not purchase any investments that were owned by 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 will appoint 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 year ended December 31, 2020 and the period April 3, 2019 (inception) through December 31, 2019, approximately $10,000 and $2,000, respectively, of fees were incurred by or paid to the Independent Representative as compensation for those services, and 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, LLC (“National Lending”), which is financed by each of the eREITs affiliated with our Sponsor. 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 December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company has contributed approximately $2.4 million and $645,000 for a 4.59% and a 3.38% ownership in National Lending, respectively.

National Lending may provide short-term bridge financing through promissory notes to any of the eREITs who have contributed in order to maintain greater liquidity and better finance their 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 borrowers are reviewed by the Independent Manager. As of December 31, 2020, we had entered into one promissory note in the principal amount of $1.5 million, maturing on September 29, 2021, with an interest rate of 3.5% per annum. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had not entered into any promissory notes with National Lending.

For the year ended December 31, 2020 and the period April 3, 2019 (inception) through December 31, 2019, the Company incurred approximately $13,000 and $0, respectively, in interest expense on notes with National Lending. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, we had outstanding accrued interest of approximately $13,000 and $0, respectively, due to National Lending.
