Item 5 – Fees and Compensation
ADVISORY FEES
The Firm charges its clients annual advisory fees that generally range from 0.5% to 2.0%
of an asset fee base. The asset fee base is equal to the client’s full committed capital
regardless of how much has been contributed by investors.
Such asset fee base will generally decrease over time with asset sales, write-offs or
capital commitment waivers, subject to certain caveats. The Firm also may receive fixed
annual advisory fees. The specific fee charged depends upon the type and complexity of
services provided. In most cases, there is no independent person who negotiates the
Firm’s advisory fees. However, the specific fee arrangements, exact fee start date, exact
calculation of the asset fee base, and other types of fees and expenses paid by each client
are described in the client’s offering memorandum or joint venture or other agreement
negotiated directly with its investor(s). Therefore, each investor typically knows what
the fees are prior to deciding to make an investment in that client.
We always attempt to charge fees that are fair and reasonable in amount based on the
type and complexity of the services provided. We generally expect to select a fee start
date that coincides with (i) when we started performing advisory services, (ii) the date of
the initial investor closing, (iii) when the client’s first investment was made, or (iv) when
subadvisory or other consulting fees are due (if applicable).
OTHER COMPENSATION, FEES AND EXPENSES
If other types of fees and expenses are paid by a client, they will generally be described in
the client’s offering memorandum or joint venture or other agreement negotiated directly
with its investor(s) if known. Such fees may include a one-time acquisition fee (typically
up to 1% of the purchase price of the real estate asset being acquired).
Some of the other types of fees and expenses that usually will be paid by a client are:
auditing fees and costs; custodial fees and costs; banking fees and costs; franchise taxes
and entity formation and maintenance and/or filing fees; legal expenses; third party due
diligence experts; securities and “blue sky” filing fees; an allocable portion of the costs
(including third party service fees) related to recording, managing and reporting of
accounting, tax and financial information, investor subscription processing, cash calls and
distributions; fees and costs related to asset management including travel-related
expenses, information technology and software; fees and costs related to anti-money
laundering and other regulatory compliance; expenses related to roadshows, printing and
offering related activities; and postage expenses.
The client also will reimburse the Firm or an affiliate for the services performed by the
Firm or an affiliated party’s attorneys, accounting and other licensed professionals
directly to or for the benefit of the client (whether the services relate to general
administrative matters or the business operations of the client). The fees that are charged
Part 2A of Form ADV: Firm Brochure Page 7
are or would be at rates comparable to or lower than those charged by outside
professionals providing such services.
BILLING PROCEDURES
We charge advisory fees monthly in advance, but sometimes we charge fees quarterly or
semi-annually in advance. If the fee start date is not the first of a month, the first billing
period may include a partial month. If an advisory contract with a client is terminated
before the end of a billing period, the Firm will refund any overpayment of fees to the
client. The overpayment of fees will be calculated based on the number of full months
remaining in a billing period after the contract was terminated. No refund will be given
for a partial month.
To the extent a client is allocated an asset level acquisition fee or financing fee payable to
the Firm or an affiliate, such allocation shall offset on a dollar-for-dollar basis all or a
portion of future monthly advisory fees as they become due and payable.
Under most advisory contracts with Firm clients, after an initial period of years (typically
3), we can collect advisory fees only out of cash available for distribution and not out of
capital contributions made by investors to the client. If cash is not available to pay
advisory fees in the period earned, the fees may be accrued and their payment deferred.
We collect deferred fees when cash becomes available before cash distributions are made
to investors, unless we waive payment of those fees at the sole discretion of the Firm. If
a client does not deploy all of the capital originally committed by investors, and as a
result elects to reduce the amount of such uncalled capital commitment, advisory fees that
have already been paid or accrued on such uncalled capital will not be refunded.
The Firm will calculate the advisory fees and bill the client. The client then pays the fees
owed to the Firm. Because the Firm and the client are usually related to one another,
there will likely be no independent person who reviews the calculation of advisory fees.
However, clients normally have their financial statements audited by an independent
certified public accounting firm. The funds and securities of clients will be held by a
qualified custodian who, to the extent required by SEC rules, sends quarterly account
statements to the clients’ investors. Those statements show the advisory fee payments.
Investors who are related to the Firm or an affiliate may receive up to a 100% discount or

Item 7 – Types of Clients
Please refer to Item 4 above.
The Firm’s advisory clients generally will be real estate investment joint ventures or
funds. Our clients are usually limited partnerships or limited liability companies that are
related to us because there is common ownership and/or control between the Firm or an
advisory affiliate and the general partners or managers of those clients. Some of our
clients may be funds of either funds or real estate joint ventures, meaning that they invest
in other investment vehicles that may or may not be related to us. All of our clients are
expected to be closed end (meaning they do not accept additional subscribers after a
stated offering period) investment funds with capital committed by investors that is
drawn down and contributed over time to purchase investment securities or assets that are
not securities and pay expenses. At this time our clients do not offer redemption rights or
liquidity to their investors. Our clients’ investors are usually either
institutions/institutional investors or high net worth individuals (including trusts and other
family investment entities created by those individuals). In some cases, high net worth
investors may be considered institutional accounts. We do not currently manage separate
advisory accounts for individual or institutional investors, although an institutional
investor may be the only investor or one of only a few investors in an advised private
fund or account. Investors often invest in more than one fund or investment opportunity
sponsored by the Firm or a related party.

Item 8 – Method of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
METHOD OF ANALYSIS AND INVESTMENT STRATEGY
The Firm will advise its clients primarily about making investments in real estate. Each
client will have a specific strategy and investment focus that is described in the client’s
offering memorandum or joint venture or other agreement negotiated directly with an
investor. Some clients may have strategies similar to other clients. The client’s offering
materials and/or limited partnership or operating agreement, joint venture or other
agreement negotiated directly with an investor may include specific guidelines or
restrictions on investments. The Firm’s role is to (i) find investment opportunities that fit
the client’s specific strategy, (ii) diligently investigate each investment’s benefits and
risks (called due diligence), (iii) make recommendations to each client whether to buy,
hold or sell an investment, and (iv) monitor the performance of investments made. The
Firm will review its recommendations against any specific guidelines or restrictions on
the client’s investments.
The Firm does not make the final investment decisions. The final investment decisions
are made by the general partners or managers of the various investment funds that are our
clients. As stated elsewhere in this brochure, there typically is common ownership or
control between the Firm and an advisory client, including those general partners or
managers. Please refer to Section 16 (Investment Discretion) for more information.
DUE DILIGENCE
Professional employees of the Firm or its affiliates perform due diligence on each
investment opportunity. Due diligence will vary depending on the type of investment but
will usually include some or all of the following:
• Review of real estate title, zoning and survey
• Review of real estate environmental and engineering conditions
• On-site visits to real estate and/or company offices
• Review, preparation and/or analysis of business plan
• Review/negotiation of legal documents relevant to the security and/or real
estate to be held
• Review of insurance coverage
• Review of historical financial information
• Research and analysis of market information
• Research and review of competition
• Review, preparation and/or analysis of financial projections
• Review of joint venture or co-investment partners
• Lien searches of company assets and real estate
• Review of material contracts and other company data
Part 2A of Form ADV: Firm Brochure Page 10
The above is not an exhaustive list, nor does every item on the list apply to every
investment opportunity. MRA Investment Professionals use their experience and
expertise to review each investment opportunity in a diligent way. For certain items on
the list that require special expertise, consultants including engineers and legal advisers
may be engaged on behalf of the client to perform research and prepare reports. Our
employees then review and analyze those third-party reports. In addition, legal counsel is
engaged on behalf of each client to prepare or review and negotiate legal documents with
reasonable and customary provisions to protect the interests of the client. The client pays
the fees and costs of consultants, accounting professionals and legal counsel. To the
extent affiliates are engaged to provide services, the fees that are charged are at rates
comparable to those charged by third party professionals providing similar services.
RISK OF LOSS AND RISK FACTORS
Investing in securities involves risk of loss that clients and investors should be prepared
to bear. There can be no possibility of profit without risk of loss, including the risk of
