1. We note your disclosure that you will attempt to accept or reject subscriptions within 60 days of receipt. Please advise us how this feature of your offering complies with the prohibition in Rule 251(d)(3) against delayed offerings.

The Company respectfully submits that Rule 251(d)(3)(i)(F) relates to a subset of delayed offerings – specifically continuous offerings. The Company’s offering – as previously reviewed, commented upon and acknowledged by the Staff – is a continuous offering that meets all of the requirements for a continuous offering, which are as follows:

(F) Securities the offering of which will be commenced within two calendar days after the qualification date, will be made on a continuous basis, may continue for a period in excess of 30 calendar days from the date of initial qualification, and will be offered in an amount that, at the time the offering statement is qualified, is reasonably expected to be offered and sold within two years from the initial qualification date.

The Company respectfully advises the Staff that the period after an investor submits a subscription agreement is utilized by the Company and the Manager in order to review the investor’s subscription agreement, conduct required know your customer and anti-money laundering processes, to coordinate with the transfer agent and for other administrative items with respect to an investor’s subscription. We respectfully submit that allowing time for such administrative and operational activities does not result in a delayed offering prohibited by Rule 251(d)(3)(i)(F) of Regulation A.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company has recently updated its investor onboarding process in connection with utilizing a new transfer agent. The Company has determined that the new process will take a maximum of 30 days to complete, and the Amendment updates the Offering Statement to reflect that the Company will accept or reject subscriptions within 30 days of receipt.
