Risk Factors

Investing in our preferred shares involves a high degree of risk. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 12 of the offering Circular for a discussion of the risks that should be considered in connection with your investment in our shares. These risks include, but are not limited to, the following:

• We recently withdrew our election to be regulated as a BDC and do not have a significant operating history under our new investment objectives. There is no assurance that we will be able to successfully achieve our investment objectives.

• Global economic, political and market conditions and economic uncertainty caused by the recent outbreak of coronavirus (COVID-19) may adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

• Investors will not have the opportunity to evaluate or approve any Investments prior to our acquisition or financing thereof.

• Investors will rely solely on the Adviser to manage us and our Investments. The Adviser will have broad discretion to invest our capital and make decisions regarding Investments.

• We may not be able to invest the net proceeds of this offering on terms acceptable to investors, or at all.

• Investors will have limited control over changes in our policies and day-to-day operations, which increases the uncertainty and risks you face as an investor. In addition, our Board of Directors may approve changes to our policies, including our policies with respect to distributions and redemption of shares without prior notice or your approval.

• An investor could lose all or a substantial portion of any investment made in us.

• There is no public trading market for our preferred shares, and we are not obligated to effectuate a liquidity event or a listing of our preferred shares on any nationally recognized stock exchange by a certain date or at all. It will thus be difficult for an investor to sell shares purchased from us.

• We may fail to maintain our qualification as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. We would then be subject to corporate level taxation and regulation as an investment company and we would not be required to pay any distributions to our stockholders.

• The offering price of our shares was not established based upon any appraisals of assets we own or may own. Thus, the initial offering price may not accurately reflect the value of our assets at the time an investor’s investment is made.

• Substantial actual and potential conflicts of interest exist between our investors and our interests or the interests of our Adviser, and our respective affiliates, including conflicts arising out of (a) allocation of personnel to our activities, (b) allocation of investment opportunities between us, and (c) potential conflicts arising out of transactions between us, on the one hand, and our Adviser and its affiliates, on the other hand, involving compensation and incentive fees payable to our Adviser or dealings in real estate transactions between us and the Adviser and its affiliates.

• There are substantial risks associated with owning, financing, operating, leasing and managing real estate.

• The amount of distributions we make is uncertain. We may fund distributions from offering proceeds, borrowings, and the sale of assets, to the extent distributions exceed our earnings or cash flows from our operations if we are unable to make distributions from our cash flows from operations. There is no limit on the amount of offering proceeds we may use to fund distributions. Distributions paid from sources other than cash flow or funds from operations may constitute a return of capital to our stockholders. Rates of distributions may not be indicative of our actual operating results. For example, on March 31, 2020, after assessing the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, our Board of Directors unanimously approved the suspension of regular quarterly dividends to our common stockholders. On May 10, 2021, the Board of Directors reinstated the quarterly dividend at the rate of $0.05 per common share, which was increased to $0.06 per common share for the 2nd quarter. While the preferred shares will accrue a 6% dividend, payment of this dividend is not guaranteed, only that it will be paid before any dividend can be paid to the common shares.
