File No. 024-12457
Dear Sean Hsieh:
We have reviewed your amended offering statement and have the following
comments.
Please respond to this letter by amending your offering statement and providing the
requested information. If you do not believe a comment applies to your facts and
circumstances or do not believe an amendment is appropriate, please tell us why in your
response.
After reviewing any amendment to your offering statement and the information you
provide in response to this letter, we may have additional comments. Unless we note
otherwise, any references to prior comments are to comments in our August 8, 2024 letter.
Amendment No. 1 to Form 1-A filed on October 31, 2024
General
1.We note your response to comment 1 and the deletion in your “Plan of Distribution”
section of when settlement may occur. Please address how often settlement will occur
and when the first settlement will occur with the current offering. We note your
statement in your response that you intend for settlement to occur promptly after the
sale of the investor shares. Please revise your disclosure in the “Plan of Distribution”
section to clarify when you intend for settlement to occur.
We note your response to comment 4. Your prior disclosure in the Form 1-A filed on
July 2, 2024 in Part I Item 6 showed 97,343 Investor Shares issued for $93,449 under
Section 4(a)(2) and Rule 506(c) of Regulation D. Your current disclosure in the Form 2.
November 25, 2024
Page 2
1-AA1 filed October 31, 2024 in Part I Item 6 only shows the 3,974,514 Investor
Shares issued for $3,815,533 under Regulation A, as is noted in Part I Item 4 of that
filing. Please revise Part I Item 6 to reflect the Investor Shares that were issued under
Section 4(a)(2) and Rule 506(c) of Regulation D as previously noted in that section.
Also revise Part I Item 6 to reflect the issuance Investor Shares under Regulation A
which is noted in Part I Item 4. Finally, advise us of the issuance of the common
shares as previously noted in Part I Item 6. Please revise or advise us as appropriate.
3.We note your response to comment 5. In your response you indicate that between
May 13, 2021, and July 2, 2024 (when the current Form 1-A was filed), you sold
under Regulation A Tier 2 13,087,343 Investor Shares for $12,563,847. We also note
your statement that you complied with all the requirements under Regulation A and
indicate that your Offering Circular included detailed information about the company,
investment strategy, financial statements, and the terms of the offering. It appears to
us that you have not updated your offering statement as required by Rule 252(f)(2)(i)
and 252(f)(2)(ii) after your Form 1-A POS filed May 7, 2021, qualified on May 13,
2021. It also appears that the offer and sales of investor shares made after May 13,
2022, appear to not have the required updated financial statements and changed facts
and events after the qualification date of May 13, 2021. Finally, we note that you have
made issuances of at least 3,974,514 Investor Shares for $3,815,533 during the last 12
months under Regulation A. It appears to us that your current offering under
Regulation A (File No. 24-11171, initially qualified on May 21, 2020) should have
terminated on May 21, 2023 since Rule 251(d)(3)(F) indicates “[t]hese securities may
be offered and sold only if not more than three years have elapsed since the initial
qualification date of the offering statement under which they are being offered and
sold; ….” Please advise us whether the company is currently offering any Investor
Shares pursuant to Regulation A. In this regard, we note that the company continues
to file Form 253G2s monthly. Also provide us with the legal and factual basis
underlying the exemption from registration claimed for the issuance of these
securities. We may have further comment.
4.Please advise us of all the sales of Investor Shares, with the number of Investor shares
sold and dollar amounts sold, from May 14, 2022, through May 21, 2023, made under
Regulation A. Also advise us of all the sales of Investor Shares, with the number of
Investor shares sold and dollar amounts sold, from May 22, 2023, through the current
date. Advise us of the last date Investor Shares have been sold under Regulation A.

8.We note your response to comment 19 states that you have included a quantitative
valuation breakdown for the $0.96 computed NAV per investor share. We reissue our
comment as we were unable to locate where you provided the quantitative valuation
breakdown. Please revise your offering circular to include a quantitative valuation
breakdown (e.g., fair value of equity investments, fair value of loans and

not necessary.

9.We note that the company indicated in the Form 1-A filed on May 13, 2020 (qualified
on May 21, 2020), that you intended to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax

that the company has failed to qualify as a REIT for the fiscal years ended
