3.We note your response to comment 5 and your disclosure that "[y]our Advisory Council
members were selected because of their experienced positions with ADPI, their personal
experience owning and managing income producing real estate, and their connections
with potential operators and deal flow." Please revise the biographical information of
each of your Advisory Council members to provide details about the relevant experience
supporting these statements about their selection. As requested, revise to clarify where
and when the Advisory Committee will provide "business guidance and connections as
needed, and answer questions regarding ADPI Capital to the ADPI community and other
inquiring individuals."
Additionally, given that the Advisory Council members will be able to vote on property
acquisitions and conduct management activities on a monthly basis as described on page
29, it appears that appropriate signatures and disclosure under Items 10 and13 of Form 1-
A should be provided regarding the 3 Advisory Council members, including in the table
on page 28 and the carryover paragraphs on pages 29 and 30. See Instructions 2 and 3 to
Item 10(a).
4.With respect to the Advisory Council members answering questions regarding you and
ADPI Capital to "the ADPI community and other inquiring individuals," please revise to
clarify the nature of these activities and the extent to which such communications will be
treated as test-the-waters materials. With a view to disclosure, advise us if the Advisory
Council members will conduct offering activities similar to what Messrs. La Barr, Brenner
and Sich will perform pursuant to Rule 3a4-1.

5.We note your disclosure on page 26 regarding a "high likelihood of several rate increases
in 2022" and current forecasts regarding "broad rent growth." Given the four interest rate
increases in 2022 thus far, please consider updating your disclosure to further clarify your
expectations about the impact to the multifamily real estate industry.

6.We note your response to comment 6 and reissue the comment. Please state the date used,
as required by Item 12.a. of Form 1-A. In addition, please revise your disclosure to clarify
what the percentages in footnote 1 are referring to.
Prior Performance, page 30
7.We note your response to comment 7 and your revised disclosure regarding Mr. La Barr's
participation in the project. Please provide additional details regarding Mr. La Barr's
responsibilities, including as an asset manager of the project, and the nature of his work
with the business plan. For example, did Mr. La Barr initiate, supervise and operate the
program? Did he determine which property would be acquired? It appears Mr. La Barr did
not receive any of the proceeds or any commissions or fees in connection with the funds

raised. Please revise to clarify Mr. La Barr's role, and if he did not initiate, supervise or
operate the program, advise us why you believe the program should be included in the
Offering Circular as his prior performance.
Exhibits
8.We note your response to comment 9. However, we note that Slide 15 of Exhibit 13.1
states that "[t]he Fund will work with Military Multifamily Academy Heroes and vetted
sponsors to target, underwrite, purchase and operate performing assets in qualified
submarkets nationwide." Please reconcile this disclosure with that in the offering circular,
which does not include a discussion of this process or these relationships.
9.We note your response to comment 11 and, in particular, your disclosure that "the
company is still offering bonus shares based on the amount invested as opposed to the
timing of investment." We note that there is extensive disclosure about the bonus share
program in your testing-the-waters materials. It is unclear why disclosureabout the bonus
shares and bonus share program does not appear in the Offering Circular. Please revise or
advise.
General
10.We note your response to prior comments 13 and 14 we reissue the comments in part. We
note the projected 8% minimum annual average rate of return in your test-the-waters
materials. Please advise us on what basis you provide this projection given you have no
assets or operating history. Additionally, it appears that links to the offering circular on
your website are still to the July 7, 2022 circular and not to your latest filing. Please
revise.
You may contact Eric McPhee at 202-551-3693 or Isaac Esquivel at 202-551-3395 if
you have questions regarding comments on the financial statements and related matters. Please
