CORRESP 1 filename1.htm aire_corresp.htm August 28, 2025 VIA EDGAR Attn: Babette Cooper and Mark Rakip Division of Corporate Finance Office of Real Estate & Construction United States Securities and Exchange Commission Washington, D.C. 20549 Re: reAlpha Tech Corp. Amendment No. 1 to Form 10-K for Fiscal Year Ending December 31, 2024 Filed May 13, 2025 File No. 001-41839 Dear Ms. Cooper and Mr. Rakip, This letter sets forth the response of reAlpha Tech Corp. (the “Company”) to the comment from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) sent by the SEC’s staff (the “Staff”) to Piyush Phadke, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, on August 22, 2025, with respect to the Amendment No. 1 to the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, filed on May 13, 2025. In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company is submitting this response letter via EDGAR. For the Staff’s convenience, the text of the comment is reproduced in its entirety below followed by the Company’s response. Amendment No. 1 to Form 10-K for Fiscal Year Ending December 31, 2024 General 1. We note that within Item 9A. of your Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, you concluded that your internal control over financial reporting was effective. Additionally you concluded that your disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2024, with a similar conclusion regarding the effectiveness of your disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2025 as disclosed in Item 3. of your Form 10-Q for the interim period ended June 30, 2025. In light of the recently amended Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 and Form 10-Q for the interim period ended June 30, 2025, please help us understand how you were able to determine your disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, as well as at March 31, 2025, and your reconsideration of the conclusions for both internal control over financial reporting as well as your disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2024. If you determine they were not effective, please amend these filings and revise your conclusions. Response : The Company respectfully acknowledges the Staff’s comment and advises that in connection with the preparation and filing of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 (as amended, the “Form 10-K”), the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 (the “Q1 10-Q”) and the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 (as amended, the “Q2 10-Q,” and together with the Form 10-K and the Q1 10-Q, the “Periodic Reports”), the Company, with the participation of its Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) and solely with respect to the Form 10-K, its Interim CFO, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) and disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) for each of the periods covered by the Periodic Reports. Based on this evaluation, the Company concluded, and it continues to believe, that its internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures were effective. 1 As noted in the Periodic Reports, there are inherent limitations related to internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures. As a result, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures may not prevent or detect all errors or omissions, including those that led to the amendment of the Form 10-K and the Q2 10-Q. The Company assessed whether the miscategorization and omission of the related party transaction, presentation of certain financial disclosures and/or typographical errors described below constituted a control deficiency, a significant deficiency, or a material weakness, considering both quantitative and qualitative factors (including likelihood and magnitude), and management concluded that such items did not constitute a material weakness. In arriving at this conclusion, the Company considered the facts and circumstances that led to the miscategorization and omission of a related party transaction pursuant to Item 404 of Regulation S-K that led to the filing of the amendment to the Form 10-K, the inadvertent typographical errors that led to the amendment to the Q2 10-Q as well as the internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures the Company has designed, as summarized below, to prevent such occurrences. The Company has determined that such miscategorization, omission and typographical errors were not the product of any ineffectiveness or failing in the design or maintenance of the internal control over financial reporting or disclosure controls and procedures themselves. Rather, the Company believes that such miscategorization, omission and typographical errors were isolated execution errors during a transition in personnel responsibilities that occurred as a result of a change in Company personnel, such as changes to the CFO, and a reallocation of responsibilities from the Interim CFO to the new CFO during the preparation and review of the Periodic Reports. Management has taken steps to address this execution gap, including additional staffing, supplemental training, and enhanced review protocols, as described below. Accordingly, after performing the evaluation described above, the Company concluded, and still maintains, that its internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2024, March 31, 2025 and June 30, 2025. The internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures, which are designed to provide multiple preventive and detective layers, are summarized as follows: 1. Preparation of Periodic Reports The Company maintains and distributes to individuals charged with preparing the periodic reports a detailed project plan: (i) allocating responsibility for the preparation and review of each item and sub-item within the relevant Periodic Report and (ii) providing a detailed timeline with relevant deadlines. Each of the Company’s subsidiaries prepares its own financial statements, which are reviewed and consolidated by the Company’s finance department. The Company also periodically engages external accounting consultants specializing in public company control compliance to support the Company’s finance department with the preparation of the periodic reports. This engagement is not due to any disagreement with the Company’s independent auditors, but rather as an additional measure to ensure accuracy and compliance with reporting requirements. 2. Use of Accounting Software In connection with each periodic report filed with the SEC (and the Company’s financial reporting more broadly), the Company utilizes accounting software to process and reconcile all financial information from the various subsidiaries of the Company. This information is then compiled and summarized to provide the Company’s finance department and management with a detailed summary of the Company’s financials that can be reviewed, analyzed and updated for quarterly and year-end financial disclosures. The Company uses various accounting software to facilitate this process and members of the finance department verify the accuracy of the numbers set forth in the Company’s financial statements that are filed with the period reports during this process. This process includes a documented tie-out to the general ledger and an independent reviewer sign-off on EDGAR/iXBRL proofs prior to filing. 2 3. Use of Disclosure Checklists In connection with each periodic report, the Company’s finance department uses a disclosure checklist to ensure that each such periodic report fully complies with the requirements of Sections 13(a) and 15(d) of the Exchange Act and any other applicable rules and regulations. This disclosure checklist is used as one of several controls, which also includes a review of such periodic reports by the Company’s external securities counsel. Documentation of this review is also recorded. The checklist is updated at least quarterly for new SEC rules and interpretive guidance. In addition, each quarter, the finance department prepares a memorandum discussing new accounting pronouncements, which is reviewed by the Company’s finance manager in preparation of the filing of the Company’s periodic reports. 4. Each Periodic Report is Discussed with the CFO The Company’s finance department works closely with the CFO to prepare each periodic report. This includes discussions relating to the: (i) methods used to account for significant transactions; (ii) effect of significant accounting policies in controversial or emerging areas for which there is a lack of authoritative guidance or consensus; and (iii) processes used by the finance department in formulating particularly sensitive accounting estimates. These discussions also include related-party identification procedures and areas of estimation uncertainty. 5. Each Periodic Report is Discussed with the Audit Committee Each periodic report and any issues that have arisen in connection with the preparation and review of such periodic report is discussed with the audit committee of the board of directors prior to the filing of any periodic report. The Company’s independent auditors attend these meetings and present significant transactions for each quarter, the scope of their review and any issues that arose in connection with their review of the periodic report. Further, to the extent applicable, management provides the audit committee with updates on any identified control deficiencies and the status of remediation actions. Meeting materials and minutes reflecting these discussions are maintained. Notwithstanding the conclusions described above, the Company is committed to continually assessing and improving its internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures, refining the processes used to prepare and review its periodic reports and other required disclosures and working vigilantly to ensure that the types of miscategorization, omission and inadvertent typographical errors noted in the Staff's above-referenced comment letter are not repeated. To that end, the Company has, over the past six months, expanded and will continue to expand its internal legal and finance departments to support continued improvement of its internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures and continued refinement of the processes used to prepare and review its periodic reports and other required disclosures, including hiring additional accounting staff, implementing enhanced review checklists, instituting secondary reviews for related party transactions, formalizing version-control and change-management protocols for EDGAR/iXBRL, and conducting targeted training for personnel involved in the reporting process. If management’s ongoing evaluation were to indicate that a different conclusion is warranted, the Company will promptly make the appropriate disclosures and, if necessary, amend affected filings. The Company acknowledges that it is responsible for the accuracy and adequacy of its disclosures, notwithstanding any review, comments, action or absence of action by the Staff. Please advise if you have any questions or if you require further clarification of the Company’s responses above. I can be reached at (707) 732-5742 extension 2.

Re:

Registration Statement on Form S-11
Filed December 29, 2023
File No. 333-276334
Ladies and Gentlemen:
On behalf of our client, reAlpha
Tech Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), we are providing this letter in response to the comments from the
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) sent by the Commission’s staff (the “Staff”)
to Mr. Devanur, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, on January 12, 2024, with respect to the above-captioned Registration Statement
on Form S-11 of the Company, originally filed with the Commission on December 29, 2023 (the “Registration Statement”).
The numbered paragraphs in bold
below set forth the Staff’s comments together with the Company’s responses. Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement
(the “Amendment”) is being filed with the Commission contemporaneously with the submission of this letter. Unless otherwise
indicated, capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Amendment.
Registration Statement on Form S-11 filed December 29, 2023
Recent Developments
Letter of Intent, page 4
1. We note that on December 13, 2023, you entered
into a letter of intent to acquire United Software Group, certain subsidiaries (collectively, “USG”). We also note that you
publicly announced the potential acquisition in a press release dated December 18, 2023. We understand that the closing will be subject
to the negotiation of the definitive agreement, foreign regulatory approval, other customary closing conditions and potential stockholder
approval to the extent required by the Nasdaq Listing Rules. Please provide us with your assessment of the probability of the acquisition
discussing:
• planned timing of acquisition;
• progress of the negotiations;
• economic and legal penalties associated
with failure to consummate, including the termination fee (payable if the acquisition does not close for reasons yet to be determined),
and costs incurred to date in pursuing the acquisition; and
• significance of required regulatory
approvals, in particular foreign regulatory approval given that both companies are based in Dublin, OH.
1
Response: The Company respectfully acknowledges
the Staff’s comment and notes that, as of April 12, 2024, following the completion of the Company’s due diligence investigation,
the Company terminated negotiations to acquire USG and it will not be entering into a definitive agreement, which update was disclosed
in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2024, filed with the Commission on April
19, 2024. In such filing, and throughout the Amendment, the Company revised disclosures discussing USG to state that the Company will
not be entering into a definitive agreement and that negotiations for this acquisition were terminated. Therefore, the acquisition of
USG is not “probable” within the meaning of Rule 3-05 and 8-04, as applicable, of Regulation S-X. The Company incurred no
economic and legal penalties associated with the termination of negotiations, including the termination fee, and incurred non-significant
costs in order to perform its due diligence investigation.
Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 17 – Subsequent Events, page F-18
2. We note that management has evaluated all subsequent
events through December 14, 2023. Please tell us what consideration was given to disclosing the December 13, 2023 letter of intent to
purchase USG for an aggregate purchase price of up to $14,000,000.
Response: The Company respectfully acknowledges
the Staff’s comment and advises that, at the time this disclosure was made, the acquisition was not considered “probable”
within the meaning of Rule 3-05 and 8-04, as applicable, of Regulation S-X. The assessment of “probability” requires consideration
of all available facts, and an acquisition is probable where the registrant’s financial statements alone would not provide adequate
financial information to make an investment decision. In this case, inclusion in the Registration Statement under “Note 17 –
Subsequent Events” of the execution of the letter of intent to acquire USG would not materially assist in the making of an informed
investment decision and would create a risk of misleading potential investors, given that the Company was in its preliminary due diligence
stages, and at no point the USG potential acquisition became “probable” within the foregoing applicable Regulation S-X items.
Generally, the Company uses letters
of intent for the purpose of beginning the due diligence process on potential future acquisitions. The letter of intent referenced in
the Registration Statement was signed on December 13, 2023, and the Company had just begun its due diligence process for such transaction.
Per the Company’s usual practice, the Company enters into non-binding letters of intent to determine the viability of acquisitions,
and their primary purpose is to provide a framework for a due diligence investigation that will allow the Company to determine if an acquisition
is, in fact, advisable. The Company’s due diligence activities include review and investigation, if necessary, of the potential
acquisition company’s key performance indicators, financial books and records, management and employment practices and related matters.
No binding agreement will be negotiated, prepared or executed unless the Company’s management completes its due diligence investigation
and is satisfied by the results of such investigation, resulting in a determination that the acquisition is in the best interests of the
Company and its stockholders. Not all potential acquisition targets who we execute a letter of intent with will ultimately be acquired,
including USG. Additionally, should management determine, after the successful completion of due diligence, that an acquisition currently
contemplated under a letter of intent is advisable, the Company’s ability to consummate such acquisition will remain contingent
on additional factors, including, but not limited to: (i) the availability of financing, in the form of both bank lending and equity capital,
as the case may be, to fund the purchase prices, and the approval of acceptable lending, as well as the availability of the funds to be
raised to fund acquisitions by the Company, neither of which is assured; and (ii) the successful negotiation of detailed and binding asset
and/or securities purchase agreements, with approval from the Company’s board of directors, the owners of the potential acquisition
targets and potentially the Company’s stockholders (depending on the nature of the transaction).
Therefore, at the time management
evaluated all subsequent events through December 14, 2023, and for the reasons outlined above, the Company believes that the USG letter
of intent did not represent a “probable” acquisition within the meaning of Regulation S-X and it was largely speculative at
the time, such that inclusion of financial statements or other reference of the acquisition under “Note 17 – Subsequent Events”
would neither be necessary nor helpful in making an informed investment decision regarding the Company.

that if the Syndication LLC sells 100% of its membership interests to investors Rhove would no longer hold any ownership interest in the
Syndication LLC. Please reconcile this assertion with disclosure on pages 67 and 68 of your filing that states Rhove will act as the managing

management control of each of the Syndication LLCs. In your response, address how Rhove will maintain control of the Syndication LLC without
holding any ownership interest.
Response: The Company respectfully
acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised the disclosure on page 67 to disclose that each of the Syndication LLC’s
operating agreements will provide that Rhove will hold a “Managing Member Interest” as the Syndication LLC’s Managing
Member, which will allow Rhove to maintain management control of the Syndication LLC while not holding any ownership interest. The Company
further notes that the “Managing Member Interest” does not include rights to ownership or profits or losses or any rights
to receive distributions from operations or upon the liquidation or winding-up of such Syndication LLC, except for a property management
fee of 15-30% of the Syndicated property’s rental revenue.

Please tell us the listing standard you intend to rely upon in listing your common stock and specifically confirm whether and how you
meet this standard.
Although we note your statement that
“the Company meets two of the three quantitative standards for listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market,” it is unclear how you
meet any one of the Equity Standard, the Market Value of Listed Securities Standard, or the Net Income Standard under Nasdaq Rule 5505(b)
because:
● your stockholders’ equity is not at least $5 million (in
the case of the Equity Standard) or $4 million (in the case of the Market Value of Listed Securities Standard or the Net Income Standard),
and
● your net income from continuing operations is not $750,000

Additionally, please tell us whether
you have discussed your ability to meet the quantitative requirements of Rule 5505(a) and Rule 5505(b) with Nasdaq and the outcome of
those discussions. If such discussions occurred, please supplementally provide us with the name of the Nasdaq representative.
Response: The Company respectfully
acknowledges the Staff’s comment, and notes that it is proposing to list on the Nasdaq Capital Market LLC (“Nasdaq”)
pursuant to section IM-5505-1(a)(2) of the Nasdaq Listing Rules, which requires that the Company has: (i) a valuation that meets the
requirements of Nasdaq’s Listing Rules IM-5315-1(e) and (f) evidencing a price and (ii) market value of listed securities and market
value of unrestricted publicly held shares that exceeds 200% of the otherwise applicable requirement. The Company is relying on the “Equity

4. We note your response to prior comment 7. Please clarify
if you intend to account for the acquisition of a minority stake of 25% in each of Naamche Inc. and Carthagos, Inc. under the equity
method or by another method. Please also tell us how you are currently accounting for the investments in Naamche and Carthagos, as the
disclosure on page 69 indicates that you acquired interests in these companies in 2021.
Response:
The Company respectfully acknowledges the Staff’s comment and notes that, even though the Company owns 25% of each of Naamche Inc.
and Carthagos, Inc., they have accounted for them under the “cost method” and not the “equity method” because
the Company does not have any significant control or influence over the financial and operating policies of these entities. The Company
further notes that they do not intend to account for them under the “equity method” in the foreseeable future, unless they
obtain significant control or influence over the financial and operating policies of such entities.

the comment. Please provide us with your analysis of why the financial metrics and additional information available only to Syndicate
Members who use the app are not material and should not be made available to investors who may not want to use the app.
Response: The Company respectfully
acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised the disclosure on page 61 of Amendment No. 3 to disclose that the Company intends
to make available the financial metrics, including occupancy rates, average daily rental rates and other periodical information regarding
the syndicated properties, to regular investors who may not want to use the app contemporaneously to those who do use the app, at the
time the Company releases its quarterly consolidated results. The Company also notes that these financial metrics will be available to
the general public via the Company’s website as well on a quarterly basis.
6. We note your response to comment 10, including that the
financial metrics available only to Syndicate Members who use the app will not meet the same requirements as SEC filings. Please tell
us how your disclosure of financial metrics and additional information to Syndicate Members who use the app, but not investors generally,
is consistent with the requirements of Regulation FD.
Response: The Company respectfully
acknowledges the Staff’s comment and notes that, as referenced in the answer above, the Company intends to make this information
available to investors generally in accordance with Regulation FD.

9. Your disclosure, in response to prior comment 16, on page
64 indicates that you expect Syndicate Members to collectively own 100% of the Syndication LLCs and that you will account for the Syndication
LLCs in accordance with applicable U.S. GAAP. Please explain how you will account for the Syndication LLCs under U.S. GAAP.
Response: The Company respectfully
acknowledges the Staff’s comment and notes that, if the Syndication LLC sells 100% of its membership interests to investors, the
accounting treatment would be as follows: (i) the proceeds received from the sale of membership interests would be recognized as equity
on the balance sheet of the Syndication LLC, reflecting the capital contributed by the investors; (ii) Rhove would no longer hold any
ownership interest in the Syndication LLC, and the investors would collectively own 100% of the LLC, and, accordingly, the LLC would not
form part of consolidated financial statements of the Company; and (iii) the revenue generated and expenses incurred by the Syndication
LLCs would only be part of financial statements of that Syndication LLC; however, any fees charged by Rhove to such Syndication LLCs would
be expensed in the Syndication LLCs’ financial statements and treated as income for Rhove.
If, instead, the Syndication
LLC does not sell 100% of its membership interests, and the managing member of the Syndication LLC, whether Rhove or another entity, retains
any percentage of the unsold membership interests, the accounting treatment would be as follows: (i) the portion of membership interests
purchased by investors would be recognized as equity on the balance sheet of Syndication LLC, reflecting the capital contributed by the
investors along with the remaining membership interests held by the managing member; (ii) the interest held by the managing member would
be reported as a separate component of equity on the balance sheet of the Syndication LLC, which will typically be presented on the Company’s
shareholders’ equity; (iii) the financial statements of the managing member would consolidate the results of operations and the
financial position of the Syndication LLC, reflecting the membership interests of both the investors and the managing member; and (iv)
the revenue generated and expenses incurred by the Syndication LLCs would be part of the such Syndication LLCs’ financial statements,
and consolidated into the managing member; provided, however, that any fees charged by the managing member to such Syndication LLCs would
be expensed in the Syndication LLCs and treated as income for the managing member.

10. We note your response to comment 18 and reissue the comment.
Please file your next amendment on Form S-11 as required by General Instruction A to Form S-11 and provide the disclosure required by
the form.
Although the company considers its
primary business lines to relate to the development of technology platforms that allow users to invest in short-term rental properties,
the financial statements show that the company’s only sources of revenue are rental income and gain on sale of properties; and the company’s
primary assets—in excess of 90% on average for the periods presented—are cash and investments in real estate. Accordingly,
it appears that the company’s business is primarily that of acquiring and holding for investment real estate or interests in real estate,
or interests in other issuers whose business is primarily that of acquiring and holding real estate or interest in real estate for investment.
Therefore, we continue to be of the view that the company is required to use Form S-11 pursuant to General Instruction A.

Additionally, we note that currently
it appears that you and your subsidiaries, as opposed to any Syndicate Members, own 100% of the five properties in your portfolio; and
that you and your subsidiaries have generated no revenues through the use and subscription of your technologies.
Response: The Company respectfully
acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has filed Amendment No. 3 on Form S-11 as required by General Instruction A to Form S-11.
11. We note your response to comment 19 and reissue the comment.
Please provide the disclosure required by Industry Guide 5 or advise. For example, revise your compensation disclosure to comply with
Item 4 and provide the disclosure required by Item 8, including prior performance tables. For guidance, refer to Release No. 33- 6900
(June 17, 1991), Item 7(c) of Part II of Form 1-A, and CF Disclosure Guidance Topic No. 6.
Response: The Company respectfully
acknowledges that while Industry Guide 5, by its terms, applies to real estate limited partnerships, Release No. 33-6900 states that its
requirements should also be considered for the preparation of registration statements of real estate investment trusts (“REITs”).
In practice, the Commission has requested Industry Guide 5 disclosure for initial public offerings by newly formed REITs if more than
25% of the offering proceeds are not specified for particular assets in the use of proceeds disclosure. Additionally, CF Disclosure Guidance:
Topic No. 6 indicates that if a registrant lacks real estate assets, has no operating history, and has not identified any specific assets
to acquire with the offering proceeds, then certain Industry Guide 5 disclosure requirements would apply. Based on the foregoing, the
Company respectfully submits that Industry Guide 5 disclosure is not necessary or appropriate for its offering for the following reasons:
(i) it is not a real estate limited partnership, (ii) it is not a REIT, and (iii) even if applicable, the Company possesses real estate
assets, has an operating history, and sufficiently specifies the types of real estate assets it intends to acquire in the Registration
Statement and Amendment No. 3.
12. We note your response to comment 22. To the extent the
July 29, 2022 offering was unregistered, please revise Item 15 of Part II to disclose all of the information required by Item 701 of
Regulation S-K.
Response: The Company respectfully
acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised the disclosure on page II-1 of Amendment No. 3 to disclose that there was no July
29, 2022 offering. Rather, on July 29, 2022, the Company filed a post-effective amendment on Form 1-A to re-qualify its Regulation A offering,
which was re-qualified by the SEC on August 3, 2022.

and Gentlemen:
On
behalf of our client, reAlpha Tech Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and pursuant to the applicable

note your response to prior comment 8 and that the app will allow Syndicate Members to monitor
the financial metrics and performance of those properties in which they have invested and
that you do not intend to provide such real-time visibility to holders of your common stock.
Please specifically state whether the app will contain additional information that would
not be readily available to investors by reviewing your SEC filings. If there will be additional
information on the app, please provide us with your analysis of why the specific information
on the app is not material and should not be made available to investors who may not want
to use the app.
Response:
The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised the disclosure on page 60 of Amendment No. 2 to provide examples of
the financial metrics and additional information available only to syndicate members who use the Company’s app, which will not
be included in the Company’s SEC filings. The Company notes that this specific information is based on that specific syndicate
member’s investment position in a Syndication LLC, and thus is not pertinent to investors who may not want to use the app or other
investors with different investment positions in the same or other Syndication LLCs, and the Company’s consolidated financial results
will be disclosed to investors through the Company’s SEC filings.

10. Please
tell us what specific information will be made available to your Syndicate Members. In addition,
please clarify whether such information and its presentation will be consistent with periodic
updates provided within securities filings with the SEC and meet all the same requirements
related to such filings.
Response:
The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised the disclosure on page 60 of Amendment No. 2 to disclose that the
financial metrics available only to syndicate members through the Company’s app includes: (i) occupancy rates of the property;
(ii) average daily rental rates of the property; and (iii) periodical information, such as gross revenue, total expenses, net revenue,
cash flows, and other non-material information of the specific Syndication LLC the investor has membership interests in. This information
will be available for syndicate members on a quarterly basis, but it will not meet the same requirements as SEC filings, as this will
be individualized information based on the position of the syndicate member’s with the Syndication LLC. For instance, if a syndicate
member owns 20% of the Syndication LLC, the Company’s app will provide quarterly financial metrics, including how much the syndicate
member earned in cash flows based on the 20% owned by that syndicate member during that quarterly period.
11. Please
clarify whether you are currently capable of providing real-time financial metrics and performance
of properties or whether they are still under development. If the latter, provide a timeline
and discussion of the status or stage of development you are in.
Response:
The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised the disclosure on page 60 of Amendment No. 2 to disclose that the
Company’s technology platform capability of providing quarterly financial metrics and performance of properties is still under
development. The Company expects that such capability will be available in its platform on the fourth quarter of 2023 or later.

18.Please revise your risk factor disclosure on page 41, "Upon its effectiveness, our
Certificate of Incorporation will provide...," to clarify, if true, that your certificate of
incorporation is already effective. Additionally, please clarify whether the exclusive
forum provision applies to claims under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act.

19.Please tell us why you have presented and discussed operating data in a different format
than what is presented on the consolidated statements of operations. To the extent that
you retain this format, please provide a disaggregated analysis of the components of
general, administrative and other non-operating expenses to include the significant types
of expense disclosed on the consolidated statements of operations.
20.We note that several of the income statement line items decreased due to the decrease in
the number of properties listed. Please disclose which properties are no longer listed, the
reason that they are no longer listed, the date as of which they were no longer contributing
to revenues or expenses, and any other meaningful factors that contributed to period over
period changes in your financial statement line items.
21.Based upon your disclosure on page 46, it appears that cost of sales includes property
management fees. Please clarify what entities were paid property management fees, and
to the extent that these entities are consolidated subsidiaries, why the fees were not
eliminated in consolidation.
22.We note on page 47 that the rise in operating expenses for the nine months ended January
31, 2023 is attributable to an increase in depreciation and amortization costs compared to
January 31, 2022. Please explain why depreciation and amortization costs increased when
you disposed of properties during the period.
23.Given the significance of advertising expense to your consolidated operations for all
periods presented, please elaborate on what is included and whether or not you expect this
level of advertising spend to continue in future periods.

24.Please revise to provide your contractual and other obligations as of the most recent

Additionally, please reconcile your narrative and tabular disclosure. More specifically,

25.Please revise to include a diagram of your organizational structure by legal entity.
Additionally, revise to briefly describe the primary functions and operations of each legal
entity and specify which legal entities own rental property(ies). For example, we note
your disclosure that you expect reAlpha Acquisitions, LLC will maintain management
control of each of the LLCs.
Our Growth Strategy, page 55
26.Please revise to clarify your plans for expansion outside the United States. In this regard,
we note your disclosure on page 55 that you "may consider expanding to other favorable
global markets." However, we also note an October 2022 business update on your
website that you have opened international offices in India, Nepal, and Brazil.
27.Please revise to reconcile your disclosure regarding your market selection and investment
methodology. For example, we note that you have selected the Orlando, Tampa, and Ft.
Lauderdale areas in Florida. However, we also note that your investment methodology
focuses on finding any "red flags," including areas where natural disasters are extremely
common and damaging. As another example, we note that you have shifted the focus of
your acquisition strategy to rent-ready homes as a result of current supply chain issues.
However, we also note that your investment criteria includes target properties with a
repair/improvement budget of less than 20% of the home purchase price, which suggests
such target properties may not be rent-ready; and that the five properties you currently
own and operate were renovated.
28.Please revise to describe how your investment decision-making process considers
unknown or contingent liabilities. In this regard, we note your disclosure elsewhere that
the properties you acquire are vacant at the time of closing and that you may acquire
properties at auction, in short sales, in foreclosure sales, or in bulk/portfolio purchases.

an example only, we note the description of your BnBGPT technology on page 60
that "BnBGPT is a product that simplifies the process of generating personalized and
effective home descriptions," which suggests the app is already operational. However,
you also describe features that the app "will" offer, which suggests the app is not yet

1,500,000 homes," which suggests the platform is already operational. However, you also
describe various steps the technology "will" undertake prior to assigning each property a
"reAlpha score," which suggests the platform is not yet operational.
Additionally, to the extent practicable, please specify the expected timeline for when each
of your technologies will be operational.
30.Please revise to describe how Rhove's Syndication Platform and technology complements
your platform and technologies. In this regard, we note your page 11 statement that
"Rhove's innovative platform will enhance reAlpha's capabilities and enable us to offer a
more seamless and efficient real estate investment experience to our clients."
31.We note your disclosure on page 59 regarding the reAlpha app, including that it "will be a
broker-dealer managed marketplace that our Syndicate Members will be able to utilize

dealer who will manage the app. Please also tell us what interests you expect will be
available for purchase on the app. We may have additional comments after we review
your response.
32.We note your disclosure on page 59 regarding the reAlpha HUMINT app. Please revise
to specify the qualitative property features that impact short-term rental profitability, and
briefly explain the relationship between such factors and short-term rental profitability.
33.We note your disclosure on page 60 regarding the BnBGPT app. Please revise to define

Dear
Mr. Wood:
We

State
Law Exemption and Purchase Restrictions, page iii
1. We
note your disclosure that your common stock is not available for purchase by residents of Massachusetts, Maryland, Vermont, and West
Virginia. With a view toward disclosure, please tell us why the offering is not being made in those states.
The
company engaged prior counsel to make all necessary securities filings and relied on those counsel to do so; however, prior counsel did
not make any blue sky filings prior to SEC qualification (or prior to being contacted by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts about the
absence of notice filing). When the blue sky filings were finally made by prior counsel, they still failed to make filings in Vermont
and West Virginia.

As
of today’s date, no sales have been made in Vermont and West Virginia. We are amending Form 1-A POS to indicate that sales will
be made going forward in Vermont and West Virginia. As to Massachusetts, we refer you to the discussion in the Legal Proceedings section.
As a result of the staff’s comment, we have modified the last paragraph of the disclosure on page iii as follows:
This
Offering is no longer being made in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. For discussion of the Consent Order dated April 15, 2022,
entered into with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts (the “Consent Order”), please see the discussion in the “Legal
Proceedings”, “Massachusetts Consent Order” section. The State of Maryland, Office of the Attorney General,
Securities Division, is still reviewing the late blue sky filing due to sales made in the fourth quarter of 2021, and the Company
paused sales in Maryland until it has completed its review. For the time being, the Company is not making any offers or sales in
Maryland. The Company is cooperating with the State of Maryland. In the future, the Company reserves the right to reevaluate its
position on sales in Maryland.
2. Risk
Factors
“We
May Be Required... “, page 9
We
note your response to comment 1. Please revise your risk factor and disclosure under the “Legal Proceedings” section to specifically
identify the acts and/or practices that the Securities Division of the Office of the Secretary of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts found
violated the Massachusetts Uniform Securities Act. Further, please affirmatively state whether you paid the $375,000 administrative fine
to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. If material, state the amount of late fees paid to the states of Mississippi, Missouri and Utah.
We
have modified our discussion in the “Legal Proceeding - Massachusetts Consent Order” to reflect the following:
Massachusetts
Consent Order
We entered into the Consent Order with the Securities Division of the Office of the Secretary of the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts (the “MSD”) following an investigation by the MSD into whether the Company had engaged in acts or practices
that violated the Massachusetts Uniform Securities Act (the “Massachusetts Act”) and the regulations promulgated thereunder
(the “Massachusetts Regulations”). For purposes of settlement, the Company did not admit or deny the findings of fact or
law or allegations contained in the Consent Order. The Consent Order provides that it is not intended to form the basis of any disqualification
under Section 3(a)(39) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or Rules 504(b)(3) and 506(d)(i) of Regulation D, Rule 262(a) of Regulation
A and Rule 503(a) of Regulation CF under the Securities Act of 1933.
Division of Corporation Finance
Officer of Real Estate & Construction
July 14, 2022
Page 3 of 4
Under
the terms of the Consent Order, the Company is censured, barred from offering or selling securities in Massachusetts, and ordered to
cease and desist from committing future violations of the Massachusetts Act and the Massachusetts Regulations. Pursuant to the Consent
Order, the Company paid a $375,000 administrative fine on April 21, 2022 and offered to rescind the purchases of each of the 14 Massachusetts
investors who purchased the Company’s common stock in its Regulation A offering. Those Massachusetts investors paid an aggregate
amount of $19,500 to purchase their shares. Seven of the fourteen Massachusetts investors elected to accept the offer of rescission and
the Company has fully refunded a total of $11,500 to such investors. The Company has fully complied with the terms of the Consent Order.
The
Company engaged prior counsel to make all necessary securities filings and relied on those counsel to do so; however, prior counsel did
not make any blue sky filings before MSD contacted the Company. When MSD initiated its investigation that firm continued to advise the
company on negotiation strategy with MSD, and in fact conducted all of the negotiations. It was the Company’s understanding that
settling with MSD on the basis set forth in the Consent Order would finally and fully eliminate any further regulatory issues, avoid
a lengthy and costly battle to establish the facts, and allow the Company to move forward with its offering.
During
the course of the MSD investigation, the Company believed (and continues to believe) that certain additional facts negated the allegations
or mitigated the materiality of the allegations the MSD was advancing. MSD alleged in the Consent Order that the Company initially
failed to disclose an ongoing “criminal” proceeding in India against the Company’s CEO that involves allegations
of fraud and forgery, despite the facts that the action is not “criminal” in the context that term is used in US jurisprudence
since the proceeding is a dispute solely among individuals, was brought by an individual, that no government prosecutor has brought charges
or made any allegations against Mr. Devanur, and that there has been no judgment entered. MSD further alleged that the Company posted
sample stock images of properties on its website, along with corresponding property “scores,” purchase dates, and addresses,
despite not actually owning these properties. However, these postings were solely for the purpose of testing the functionality of certain
technology, prior to the offering and before the Company made any sales of stock. The stock images were mock-ups, designed to demonstrate
the functionality of a technology application owned by the parent company to score properties utilizing proprietary algorithms and artificial
intelligence. The Company’s offering circular fully disclosed at all times the real property actually owned by the Company. When
these mock-ups were created, the Company did own properties, but those properties were undergoing renovations and as a result were not
suitable to test the technology function at that time. MSD also alleged that the Company failed to disclose a potential conflict of interest
in connection with the Company’s real estate acquisitions. It is the Company’s position that there was no potential or actual
conflict of interest, but it elected to disclose the underlying facts in a post-qualification filing. MSD further alleged that the Company
failed to notice file with the MSD and to submit a consent to service of process before marketing and selling shares to investors in
the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

Dear Mr. Wood:

consent order and any potential damages that you may be required to pay in the future for acts that may violate other state securities

Concurrent with the filing

Massachusetts Consent Order
We entered into a Consent Order
(the “Order”) on April 15, 2022, with the Securities Division of the Office of the Secretary of the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts (the “MSD”) following an investigation by the MSD into whether ReAlpha engaged in acts or practices that
violated the Massachusetts Uniform Securities Act (the “Massachusetts Act”) and the regulations promulgated thereunder
(the “Massachusetts Regulations”). ReAlpha did not admit or deny any of the findings of fact or law or allegations
contained in the Order and the Order provides that it is not intended to form the basis of any disqualification under Section
3(a)(39) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or Rules 504(b)(3) and 506(d)(i) of Regulation D, Rule 262(a) of Regulation A and
Rule 503(a) of Regulation CF under the Securities Act of 1933.
Under the terms of the Order, ReAlpha
is censured, barred from offering or selling securities in Massachusetts, and ordered to cease and desist from committing future violations
of the Massachusetts Act and the Massachusetts Regulations. The Order also required ReAlpha to pay a $375,000 administrative fine and
to make a rescission offer to each of the 14 Massachusetts investors who purchased ReAlpha common stock in its Regulation A offering.
Those Massachusetts investors paid an aggregate amount of $19,500 to purchase their shares. ReAlpha has complied with the Order; seven
of the fourteen Massachusetts investors elected rescission and ReAlpha has fully refunded such investors a total of $11,500. A copy of
the Massachusetts Division of Securities Consent Order was filed with our Form 1-U on April 15, 2022 as Exhibit 6.5 thereto, and is an
Exhibit 99.1 hereto. For information on the acts, which are summarized by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in the Consent Order, we refer
you to Exhibit 99.1. ReAlpha did not admit or deny any of the findings of fact or law summarized in the Consent Order.
Additionally, we have updated language in the
Part II, Legal Proceedings, “Ohio Subpoena” to provide as follows:
At this time, we do not have sufficient
information to be able determine whether we will have to pay any damages in the future for acts that may violate Ohio or any other state
securities laws. Accordingly, we are unable to estimate the reasonably possible loss or range of reasonably possible loss arising from
these investigations.
Additionally, we have updated the Part II, Risk
Factor disclosure under the heading “We may be required to offer rescission to purchasers of common stock." For your convenience
we have excerpted it below:
We
may be required to offer rescission to purchasers of common stock.
Prior to the
qualification of our Offering Statement by the Securities and Exchange Commission, certain required notices under state law and related
filing fees were not timely made due to an error made in connection with preparation of such notices and related filings. During this
period, our website included a reference to our Regulation A offering and provided viewers with the opportunity to join a waitlist. No
sales were made prior to our qualification by the SEC. If our website during the qualification period were to be determined by securities
regulators to not have satisfied Regulation A or state securities laws with regard to securities offers before qualification, this would
have adverse consequences for us.

of Massachusetts (see “OUR BUSINESS – Legal Proceedings” on page 41), we were obligated to pay a $375,000
fine and make a rescission offer to the fourteen Massachusetts investors that have purchased our shares in this Offering. This offer
of rescission was made on April 29, 2022. The parties receiving the notice had until May 29, 2022, to respond and accept the rescission
offer. Seven of the fourteen investors elected to accept the rescission offer, and the Company fully refunded such investors in compliance
with the Consent Order, representing $11,500 in aggregate refunds for the $19,500 sales to investors in Massachusetts. This offer was
made intrastate in Massachusetts pursuant to an order providing for how it was to be carried out, to the 14 investors from Massachusetts.
The offer was subject to an exemption pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, as amended. For additional information about
the terms of the Consent Order, see Exhibit 99.1.
Should other
states take regulatory actions, we could be required to make additional rescission offers due to the late filing of notice and/or could
be required to pay additional fees or fines. As a result of these regulatory matters, we are subject to increased litigation risk and
could have class actions or derivative suits filed against us, which could impact our ability to effectuate our business plan and the
value of our common stock. As of the date of this filing, we sold approximately $4.468 million from sources other than our parent company.
We are working to cooperate with securities regulators and endeavor to ensure compliance going forward.
The JOBS Act
did provide for federal preemption, but it did provide the states with a right to receive a notice filing and a fee. The various states
interpret the limits placed upon them due to federal preemption differently, in the absence of fraud. Federal preemption, however, does
not prohibit the states from regulating fraud against investors.
Tennessee,
for example, sent the Company a warning letter for the late filing, but indicated at this time it was not taking any further action. A
number of states, such as Connecticut, Florida, New Jersey, North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Hawaii, Kansas and Alaska have no filing
requirement for the federal covered security that the common stock constitutes, and so no notice violation with respect to those jurisdictions
is presented. Additionally, certain states, namely, Mississippi, Missouri, Utah, have late filing fees and we have complied with that
requirement and received no further correspondence from them to date. At this time, we do not have sufficient information to reasonably
estimate a range of possible loss for any acts that we could be required to pay damages for. Furthermore, we do not have sufficient information
to know if any other consequences could occur.

2. We note your disclosure that to comply with the terms of the consent
order you were obligated to make a rescission offer to 14 Massachusetts investors that purchased your shares in the
offering and that these investors had until May 29, 2022 to respond and accept the rescission offer. Please describe the status of the
rescission offer and the amount paid in connection with the offer. Also disclose the section of the Securities Act or the rule of the
Commission under which exemption from registration was claimed and state briefly the facts relied upon to make the exemption available
for the rescission offer. If the rescission offer was conducted under an exemption from registration, please also provide appropriate
disclosure as required by Item 6 of Part I of Form 1-A.
Concurrent with
the filing herewith, we filed an update to our filing and updated our disclosure. Specifically, we updated the risk factor section for
the risk factor “We may be required to offer rescission to purchasers of common stock,” which is referenced in the discussion
above to add the following language:
Seven of the
fourteen investors elected to accept the rescission offer, and the Company fully refunded such investors in compliance with the Consent
Order, representing $11,500 in aggregate refunds for the $19,500 sales to investors in Massachusetts. This offer was made intrastate in
Massachusetts pursuant to an order providing for how it was to be carried out, to the 14 investors from Massachusetts. The offer was subject
to an exemption pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, as amended. For additional information about the terms of the Consent
Order, see Exhibit 99.
Additionally, the
following sentence was added in Part II, Legal Proceedings under the heading “Massachusetts Consent Order”:
ReAlpha has
complied with the Order; seven of the fourteen Massachusetts investors elected rescission and ReAlpha has fully refunded such investors
a total of $11,500.
We also updated
Item 6 of Part I of Form 1-A to reflect that the rescission offer was exempt under Section 4(a)(2) due to the limited number of investors
involved and the limited scope of the investors that the offer was made too.
General
3. Please file an updated auditor consent dated within 30 days of the filing as an exhibit.
Concurrent with the filing
herewith, the Company filed Post-Qualification Amendment No. 2 to the Form 1-A POS which, includes a revised consent to reflect the correct

Dear Mr. Burr,
We hereby submit the responses
of ReAlpha Asset Management Inc. (the “Company”) to the comments of the staff (the “Staff”) of the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) set forth in the Staff’s letter, dated August 3, 2021, providing the Staff’s
comments with respect to the Company’s offering statement on Amendment No. 2 to Offering Statement on Form 1-A. Concurrently with
the filing of this response letter, we have filed an amendment to the Offering Statement (the “Offering Statement Amendment No.
3”), and the Offering Statement Amendment No. 3 incorporates our changes as indicated below made in response to the Staff’s
comments.
For the convenience of the
Staff, each of the Staff’s comments is included and is followed by the corresponding response of the Company. Unless the context
indicates otherwise, references in this letter to “we,” “us” and “our” refer to the Company on a consolidated
basis.
General
1. We note your responses to comments 1 and
2. Please provide us a more detailed analysis explaining how you intend to comply with Regulation CF. In addition, please tell us more
specifically how you intend to comply with the requirements for funding portals in light of your plan to integrate your M3
Platform with the broker-dealer’s own Regulation CF compliant platform.
As described in the Offering Circular
filed with Amendment No. 2 to the Offering Statement, a new limited liability company will be formed for each property or group of related
properties that are ready to be listed on short-term rental sites (the “Property LLCs”). After the completion of the offering
of our common stock covered by the pending Offering Statement, membership interests representing a minority interest in those limited
liability company subsidiaries would be offered for sale to potential purchasers.
After our recent conversation with the
Staff, we have decided that our M3 Platform will not be used in the process for offering membership interests in the Property
LLCs. The use of M3 Platform will be limited to providing purchasers who have purchased membership interests and become Syndicate
Members with a means of accessing the performance of their investment in the Property LLCs.
We have accordingly revised the Offering
Circular to describe this limited use of the M3 Platform.
With respect to your general question
about how the offering of minority interests in the Property LLCs would comply with Regulation Crowdfunding in the event that registration
exemption is used in the future, please note the following:
Eligibility
Each Property LLC would be eligible
to use Regulation Crowdfunding.
As is the case with the existing Property
LLCs, each of the additional Property LLCs would be organized under the law of state within the United States. The Property LLCs would
not be investment companies as defined in Section 3 of the Investment Company Act because they would not be engaged in the business of
investing, reinvesting, or in securities; they would simply own real estate. None of the parties associated with ReAlpha Asset Management,
Inc. are disqualified under Rule 503 of Regulation Crowdfunding and care would be taken to make sure that is the case with all parties
associated with the Property LLCs and the offering of their membership interests. None of the Property LLCs will have sold securities
in reliance upon Section 4(a)(6) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), at the time they first
offer their membership interests for sale and those affiliated Property LLCs who have completed an offering under Regulation Crowdfunding
will have filed the ongoing annual reports required by Regulation Crowdfunding.
Use of Intermediary
The Regulation Crowdfunding offering
would be conducted exclusively through the platform of a single qualified intermediary. As noted above, our M3 Portal would
not be used in the offering.
Amounts Sold
The aggregate purchase price of all
of the membership interests in the Property LLCs sold would be aggregated and limited to $5 million in any 12 month period. If the offerings
of membership interests in the Property LLCs under Regulation Crowdfunding commence no sooner than 30 days after the termination of this
Regulation A offering, this Regulation A offering and the Regulation Crowdfunding offering would not be integrated based on the safe harbor
provided by Rule 152.
The amount sold to any single purchaser
that is not an accredited investor would be limited to the amounts set forth in Rule 100(a)(2).
Disclosure
Each Property LLC offering membership
interest would file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and provide its chosen intermediary with a Form
C before commencing an offering under Regulation Crowdfunding.
Publicity
Each Property LLC would limit its advertising,
if any, in connection with the offering to the statements permitted by Rule 204.
Based on these considerations, we believe
that Regulation Crowdfunding would be available for the offering of membership interests in the Property LLCs, should that exemption be
chosen for the offering to Syndicate Members. In addition, we have had conversations with Dalmore Group, a registered broker-dealer about
the use of its Regulation CF platform to further confirm our belief.
We also believe that Regulation A would be available
to each Property LLC for the offering of its membership interests to Syndicate Members.
Eligibility
Each Property LLC would be eligible
to use Regulation A.
As noted above, each Property LLC has
been, and each future Property LLC will be, organized under the laws of a State within the United States and would not be an investment
company. No Property LLC will have been subject to an order under Section 12(j) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or
be disqualified under Rule 262. At the time a Property LLC would file an Offering Statement under Regulation A, it would not have been
subject to the reporting requirements of Rule 257 and ReAlpha Asset Management, Inc. would have filed all reports it was required to file
under Rule 257.
2
Amounts Offered
If a Property LLC elected to use Regulation
A to offer its membership interests to potential purchasers, the amount offered by it would take into account the gross proceeds received
by other Property LLCs within the prior 12 months for purposes of Rule 251(a). We do not believe that sales of our common stock under
the pending Offering Statement should be integrated with the offering of membership interests by the Property LLCs. They are not part
of a single plan of financing; they involve different classes of securities; the issuers are different; and the proceeds we are raising
under Regulation A are to be used for purposes in addition to the acquisition of property.
Disclosure
Each Property LLC would file an Offering
Statement on Form 1-A with the SEC for its qualification.
Based on these considerations, we believe
that Regulation A would also be available for the offering of membership interests in the Property LLCs, should that exemption be chosen
for the offering to Syndicate Members.
Financial Statements
Note 1: Nature of Operations, page F-8
2. Please tell us if your parent company or
an affiliate has purchased any additional properties subsequent to your inception, on your behalf. We refer you to Rule 8-06 of Regulation
S-X.
ReAlpha Asset Management Inc wholly-owned
subsidiaries have purchased the following four properties since our initial offering statement.
1. 5241 North West 5th Street Miami,
FL 33126
2. 746 Greenland Way Grand Prairie,
TX 75050
3. 3121 Fieldview Dr Garland, TX 75044
4. 1822 Rosewood St Dallas, TX 75050
The above-mentioned properties are single-family
residences that were purchased by ReAlpha Asset Management Inc wholly-owned subsidiaries from the sellers as vacant properties. These
properties did not have any revenue generating income. Hence, we will not be able to provide any historical financial information for
these properties until we complete the renovation and onboarding on Airbnb for revenue generation.
Please note the property purchase information
for these properties have been added to the offering statement amendment.
Note 5: Cash and Restricted Cash, page F-12
3. We note your disclosure stating that restricted
cash can represent a cash deposit or funds in escrow, for properties being acquired. Please tell us if you have any probable property
acquisitions. Refer to Rule 8-06 of Regulation S-X.
Restricted cash refers to the
funds held by our lending partner “LendingOne”. These funds are approved towards renovation of properties and will be
released to us only after partial or full completion of renovation. They do not pertain to acquisitions other than those declared in
our offering.
We do not have any further probable
property acquisitions.

Amendment No. 1 to Offering Statement on Form 1-A
Filed June 9, 2021
File No. 024-11523
Dear Mr. Burr,
We hereby submit the responses
of ReAlpha Asset Management Inc. (the “Company”) to the comments of the staff (the “Staff”) of the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) set forth in the Staff’s letter, dated July 6, 2021, providing the Staff’s
comments with respect to the Company’s Amendment No. 1 to Offering Statement on Form 1-A. Concurrently with the filing of this response
letter, we have filed an amendment to the Offering Statement (the “Offering Statement Amendment No. 2”), and the Offering
Statement Amendment No. 2 incorporates our changes as indicated below made in response to the Staff’s comments.
For the convenience of the Staff,
each of the Staff’s comments is included and is followed by the corresponding response of the Company.
General
1. We note that you intend to provide an opportunity
for retail investors to become Syndicate Members through subsequent exempt offerings. Please tell us what exemption(s) you intend to rely
on the facts that make the exemption available. We may have further comment.
Response:
The Company will rely upon the available
exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and the rules
of the Commission promulgated thereunder.
As the Company will hold its properties
in individual limited liability companies, the Company plans to have offerings made to potential Syndicate Members of minority membership
interests in those limited liability companies (the “Property LLCs”) or in limited liability companies owning a group of those
Property LLCs.
Our current plan is to having the offering
of such interests through a registered broker-dealer using the exemption provided by Regulation CF. Regulation CF would be available to
the issuers of such interests because they would not be ineligible to use Regulation CF under the criteria set forth in Rule 100(b) of
Regulation CF.
We plan to use Regulation CF because it
will further our goal of providing greater access to wealth creation through real estate. However, other available exemptions from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act may be employed as future circumstances require, including the exemptions providing by
Regulation A and Rule 506(c).
2. We note your disclosure on page 35 that the
ReAlpha M3 TM Platform is a digital marketplace, which is a web-based and mobile accessible investment platform for your Syndicate Members,
and the platform will give Syndicate Members real-time visibility into their property asset portfolio and performance as well as allowing
the Syndicate Member to decide to join in an ownership of a ReAlpha property through the platform itself. Please tell us in more detail
how this platform will function, including the specific information that will be available to potential investors, a description of the
interests that may be purchased on the platform, how a potential investor will access the platform, and whether the platform is currently
operational. We may have further comment.
Response:
The M3
Platform will be a digital marketplace which is a web-based and mobile accessible investment platform for our Syndicate Members.
As noted above, our current plan is to have the minority interests in the Property LLCs, or limited liability companies holding groups
of the Property LLCs, offered through a registered broker-dealer using Regulation CF. This will, of necessity, require the integration
of the M3 Platform with the broker-dealer’s own Regulation CF compliant Platform.
The platform will fetch the property listing
data as well as data on short-term rental market trends from multiple third party API providers and will display the consolidated data
for a particular property in an easily accessible format.
Users will then be able to purchase partial
ownership of a property through a payment system that is integrated within the platform and, for so long as Regulation CF is being used
to offer the interests, the registered broker-dealer’s own Platform. Once a syndicate member secures the ownership of interests
in a Property LLC, the syndicate member will be able to monitor the property's performance in the short-term rental market by observing
the up-to-date data on the property's rental income and occupancy rate.
The platform will provide a holistic view
of available properties to the potential investors so that they can make informed decisions before committing to invest. These include:
· Details on the property structure like the number of beds, baths, parking spaces, etc.
· Interior and exterior photos of the property and the walk score of its neighborhood
· the most recent sale price for the property, and other property related information.
For so long as the interests are offered
using Regulation CF, potential syndicate members will access this information by accessing our broker-dealer’s Regulation CF compliant
platform.
The platform is currently under development
and is not fully operational, yet. The app is scheduled to be fully functional by Q4 of 2021.
We have added an additional description
of the M3 Platform on page 35 of Offering Statement Amendment No. 2.

3. We note your disclosure that the company’s
major shareholder, ReAlpha Tech Corp, purchased part of your investment in real estate prior to inception. Please tell us if these properties
had a rental history or any renovations during the time of previous ownership as well as prior to ownership by ReAlpha Tech Corp. In addition,
please tell us whether ReAlpha Tech Corp or an affiliate has purchased any additional properties on your behalf and your probability of
acquiring them in the future.
Response:
Prior history of properties under
ReAlpha Tech Corp:
· Only one property was rented out starting March 21, 2021.
· Only one property was renovated.
Neither ReAlpha Tech Corp nor any affiliate
purchased any property other than those listed in the Offering Circular prior to inception of ReAlpha Asset Management Inc.
In the future, all properties will be acquired
by ReAlpha Acquisitions, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

to the Staff’s comments or if you would like to discuss any other matters, please contact the undersigned at 614-633-7155.

Re:ReAlpha Asset Management Inc
Offering Statement on Form 1-A
Filed May 7, 2021
File No. 024-11523
Dear Mr. Logozzo:
Our initial review of your offering statement indicates that it fails in numerous material
respects to comply with the requirements of Regulation A and Form 1-A. More specifically,
your filing omits Item 14, Securities Being Offered. Additionally, it is unclear how your
business structure and processes are designed, including the Syndicate Member and Referral
Program, and the formation of Property LLCs. Finally, based on the description of your
structure it is unclear what financial statements are required for contributed properties and how
you have met those financial statement requirements.
We will provide more detailed comments relating to your offering statement following
our review of a substantive amendment that addresses these deficiencies.
Please contact Jonathan Burr at 202-551-5833 with any questions.
Sincerely,
