Overview
The Dallas Cityfund will acquire and manage a portfolio of single-family residential real estate assets in Dallas only. Our acquisition strategy will focus on (1) investing in the equity of owner-occupied single-family homes ("Homeshares") and (2) purchasing single-family rentals that we believe offer compelling values with the potential for significant appreciation while providing investors unprecedented access to the highest-demand, fastest-moving real estate markets, like Dallas, Austin, and Miami.

What is a Cityfund?
A Cityfund is similar to an index fund in that it provides targeted exposure to residential real estate in a single city. Providing access to high-demand, fast-moving markets typically inaccessible to most investors. Cityfunds are designed to mimic the performance of residential real estate in one city only.
What makes Cityfunds different?
Why did we create Cityfunds?
We designed the Cityfund based on the transformation we have seen in the equities market from actively managed mutual funds to index-based exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Many ETFs enable investors to make very targeted investment decisions within a specific sector, geography, or risk…
Dallas
The Dallas housing market is recovering favorably after the COVID-19 pandemic. In the Dallas-Fort Worth area, single-family home starts surged more than 30% in 2020 with the highest construction volumes in over a decade. According to the Q4 2020 Zillow Home Price Expectations Survey, Dallas is expected to be the 6th hottest housing market in the nation this year. A Realtor.com report for the nation's best performing metro areas also forecasts that DFW could see combined sales and price growth of 15.7 percent in 2021.
Favorable Demographics
An above-average population of millennials, strong in-bound population growth, and a thriving economy are just some of the many reasons why the Dallas real estate market has seen favorable growth.

Acquisition
Nada’s Homeshares are investments into owner-occupied homes, whereby the Cityfund provides an upfront payment to a homeowner in exchange for a lien-secured share of the home’s future appreciated value. Homeshare investments are made directly by Nada and sourced through their network of licensed real estate agents and direct-to-consumer marketing channels.
Nada has established consumer and property qualification standards; in addition, each Homeshare investment is placed at a risk-adjusted discount to market value—offsetting the risk of declines in home values and protecting the initial investment.

Returns
Cityfunds are designed to provide returns that are related to the home-price appreciation of a specific market.

We cannot assure you that we will attain this objective or that the value of our properties and your investment will not decrease.
Market Data
Based on recent historical and assumed continuing home-price appreciation, we expect both our single-family rental acquisitions as well as our Homeshare investments to generate annual internal rates of return ("IRR") of between 12% and 15% over a 7-year period. These estimated returns may not be met.
