3.We note your response to comment 9 and re-issue in part. Please expand your risk factor
disclosures to discuss risks related to loss or theft of the Tokens, including losses related
to cyberattacks, fraudulent or accidental transactions, loss of keys, etc. Please also
reconcile your response that “there is no risk related to cyberattacks, fraudulent or
accidental transactions, loss of keys, etc. with respect to the Tokens so long as the
Transfer Agent’s records are accurate,” with your statement here that “there can be no
assurances that the blockchain and the creation, transfer, or storage of the Tokens will be
uninterrupted or fully secure.”
Plan of Distribution
Series Interests maintained on Blockchain as a digital courtesy copy; no investment in
cryptocurrencies, page 25
4.We note your response to comment 13 and re-issue in part. As previously requested,
please revise to clarify whether there are practical or legal considerations for investors due
to the distributed ledger technology features that would not exist in an offering of book
entry securities without such features or advise otherwise.
5.We note your revised disclosure in the last paragraph on page 25 that the Tokens "cannot
be purchased, sold, or traded separate from the Series Interests." Please explain how such
restriction is programmed into the Token or otherwise enforced. Also please describe
how a holder will transfer the Series Interest and the Token as a “unit” and provide
illustrative examples of the methods by which such transfer could be effected.
6.We note your disclosure at the top of page 26 that:
•The Series Interests are not available for transfer, purchase, or sale from one Series
Interests holder to another Series Interests holder (“peer-to-peer”) on the blockchain
or in any secondary trading market;
•In the future, the Series Interests may be available for purchase, sale or transfer in the
secondary trading market or on the blockchain; and
•You have no current agreement to make your Series Interests or Tokens available for
trading in the secondary market but may enter into such an agreement in the future.
Please revise to clarify whether you intend to make the Series Interests or Tokens
available for transfer, purchase, or sale from one Series Interests holder to another Series
Interests holder (“peer-to-peer”) on the blockchain or in any secondary trading market in
the future, and, if so, disclose the expected timeline and associated risks related thereto.
Furthermore, please revise to clarify how an investor may transfer Series Interests or
Tokens if they are not made available for transfer "peer-to-peer" on the blockchain or to

trade in any secondary trading market, and make corresponding revisions to the first risk
factor on page 14 and the subsection headed “General Restrictions on Transfer” on page
49.
7.Please add a separate subsection to describe the procedures Members must follow to
initiate and effect a secondary transfer of Series Interests and Tokens in order to ensure
the transfer is reflected in the records of the Transfer Agent, including, without limitation:
•Any transfer restrictions of the Series Interests and Tokens or transfer prerequisites
and describe the material features of the Transfer Agent’s whitelisting procedures,
including its AML/KYC procedures;
•How a potential transferor may gain the Manager's approval of their potential
transferee. In this regard, we note your disclosure under "General Restrictions on
Transfer" on page 49 that transfers of Series Interests are prohibited unless the
written consent of the Manager has been obtained, which consent may be withheld in
its sole and absolute discretion;
•The steps a potential transferee must take to open a digital wallet that is compatible
with the Tokens;
•Whether the transferor initiates a transfer by network, by notifying the Transfer
Agent, or otherwise; and

to state, if true, that only whole Tokens may be issued or transferred.

11.We reissue comment 26. Please describe any anticipated material changes in the use of
proceeds if all of the securities being qualified in the offering statement are not sold. See
Instruction 3 to Item 6 of Part II of Form 1-A. Consider providing such information in
tabular format at different levels of proceeds. In addition, please clarify if there is a
limitation on management's ability to be repaid from future revenues and add risk factor
disclosure regarding the impact on investors if the manager decides to go this route
instead of receiving Series Interests.

12.We are unable to locate your response to comment 28 of our letter. In light of your
expected use of leverage in operations, please address here, and in the risk factor section
in a separate risk, the impact of increased interest rates on investors. We note that interest
rates have increased over the past couple years and that, specifically, with respect to the

financing at that time or renegotiate the current terms, which could result in even higher
interest rates.

please revise here and elsewhere in the document, as appropriate, to disclose how you
intend to settle these outstanding loans at maturity. To the extent you intend use other
financing methods, please disclose them and the anticipated terms of those methods.
Consider the need for associated risk factor disclosure.
14.For each of the properties, please disclose the anticipated monthly operating costs of
owning them. Examples of anticipated operating costs include, but are not limited to,

anticipated monthly rent for of the properties that is disclosed in this section.

and its affiliates played that resulted in receiving these commissions.

disclose the services they may provide and disclose the potential compensation
arrangements. To the extent specific services will be provided to these affiliates for the
