Fund Overview
Introduction The current national economic woes have created a tremendous opportunity, specifically within the multifamily real estate and multifamily capital marketplace. Market conditions along with the current administration has created a significant yield spread/pricing gap between stabilized, well operated properties and distressed multifamily assets. Agency lenders such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are producing over 80% of multifamily loan volume. The remaining 20% of volume is distributed between HUD, regional and national portfolio loans, hard money and bridge lenders, and local interim bank financing. This capital distribution model offers a very competitive array of options for the acquisition of stabilized multifamily assets, but offers very little options for the acquisition of distressed multifamily assets. The multifamily property market has adjusted to this capital marketplace and prices for quality distressed asset buyers have significantly dropped to generational lows, while stabilized multifamily asset prices have dropped much less. Scarlet Matador Fund’s management team has over 10 years experience is the successful identification, acquisition, renovation, stabilization, management, marketing, and disposition of distressed multifamily assets. The management team’s deal-flow has outgrown their capital resources and has elected to create the Scarlet Matador Fund, LLC to exploit the current inefficiency that they have identified within the market. Property Management Inc (PMI) is a wholly owned company of fund management; they provide 3 rd party services to the multifamily industry such as: property management, construction management, bookkeeping/accounting, and brokerage services. PMI has been engaged to provide all of these services to all assets owned by Scarlet Matador Fund, LLC. This will not only streamline the Fund’s operations but will eliminate any “overhead” or administrative expenses for the Fund. Need These uncanny market conditions have created a solid opportunity for sophisticated investor/buyers that have a real understanding of the complex dynamics of today’s multifamily marketplace. Distressed assets buyers in this marketplace are filling a direct need of the marketplace, creating a previously unseen opportunity for the creation of tremendous stakeholder wealth. Many unconventional sellers such as special servicers, receivers, lenders, banks, federal agencies, and so on are in dire need of experienced operators to acquire these distressed assets at significantly below market prices, in order to clean up balance sheets of lending institutions. They are increasing only seeking to deal with experienced distressed asset buyers that can move quickly and can be depended on to close. These relationships are one of the key factors in the Scarlet Matador Fund’s management’s previous success. Solution The basic business model for the Scarlet Matador Fund, LLC is one that has been created and adopted by the management team of the Fund. There are always minor inefficiencies within the multifamily capital and real estate markets, but today’s other economic conditions have drastically magnified these inefficiencies. Fund management has been involved in this specific industry for over ten years and has completed multiple successful rounds of acquisitions and dispositions. Fund management has recognized the rare opportunity in today’s marketplace and has exploited the opportunity to their fullest ability. They currently have four large projects going. Their deal-flow and management capabilities are far greater than their own capital resources. As a result they have formed the Scarlet Matador Fund, LLC to not only seize the current opportunities of today’s marketplace, but also to create investor wealth.

RISK FACTORS
THE SECURITIES (“UNITS”) BEING OFFERED INVOLVE A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK AND, THEREFORE, SHOULD BE CONSIDERED EXTREMELY SPECULATIVE. THEY SHOULD NOT BE PURCHASED BY PERSONS WHO CANNOT AFFORD THE POSSIBILITY OF THE LOSS OF THE ENTIRE INVESTMENT. PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS SHOULD READ THE ENTIRE PRIVATE PLACEMENT MEMORANDUM AND CAREFULLY CONSIDER, AMONG OTHER FACTORS THE FOLLOWING RISK FACTORS. Management of Scarlet Matador Fund, LLC intends for the Fund to become a profitable entity via the real estate market. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones faced. Additional risks and uncertainties not known to the Fund or ones known now, but believed to be less significant could also impair the business. If any of the following risks actually occur, the business, financial condition or operating results could be negatively affected. Among other things, consider the following. Fund Considerations Risks Associated with Expansion: Any expansion of operations the Fund may undertake will entail risks, such actions may involve specific operational activities which may negatively impact the profitability of the Fund. Consequently, Unit Holders must assume the risk that (i) such expansion may ultimately involve expenditures of funds beyond the resources available to the Fund at that time, and (ii) management of such expanded operations may divert Management’s attention and resources away from its existing operations, all of which factors may have a material adverse effect on the Fund’s present and prospective business activities. Unanticipated Obstacles to Execution of the Business Plan: The Fund’s business plans may change significantly. Many of the Fund’s potential business endeavors are capital intensive and may be subject to statutory or regulatory requirements. Management believes that the Fund’s chosen activities and strategies are achievable in light of current conditions with the skills, background, and knowledge of the Fund’s founders and advisors. Management reserves the right to make significant modifications to the Fund’s stated strategies depending on future events. Future Capital Needs; Uncertainty of Additional Funding: Management of Scarlet Matador Fund, LLC currently anticipates that the net proceeds of the Offering will be sufficient to meet its development, design evolution and other working capital requirements through the first stages of its business development plan. Future capital may be required to complete development where logistical hurdles will need to be overcome. The Fund may need to raise additional funds to sustain its purchase or development activities, particularly if there is a major shift in marketplace. Adequate funds may not be available on terms favorable to the Fund, if at all, to deal with such issues. Real Estate Investments: Real estate purchase and investments (the Fund anticipates purchasing land and renovating) are subject to numerous risks, including risks due to changes in general economic conditions, local market conditions, demand factors, supply of competing properties in a market area, operating costs, interest rates, or tax, real estate, environmental or zoning laws and regulations. Labor and Power Supply: Interrupted labor or power supply may cause suspension/closure of production and damage to machinery and housing materials, which could adversely affect the Fund, particularly in terms of property renovation time schedules. Change in Economy: Changes in the U.S. economy from time to time may have an adverse or favorable impact on the profitability of the Fund. A protracted recession may also negatively impact the Fund’s profitability.

Anticipated Revenue: Although management of the Fund has a solid track record and historic success in the multifamily industry, the Fund’s results of operations may fluctuate in the future due to a combination of factors, including the overall schedules of our renovations and/or developments, the level of acceptance of by prospective buyer-renters, and any volatility in expenses such as construction costs and marketing costs. Potential liability for environmental problems could result in substantial costs: Scarlet Matador Fund, LLC is subject to a variety of laws and regulations concerning the protection of health and the environment. The particular environmental laws and regulations which apply to any given project development site vary greatly according to the site’s location, the site’s environmental condition, the present and former uses of the site, as well as adjoining properties. Compliance with environmental laws and conditions may result in delays, may cause us to incur substantial compliance and other costs and can prohibit or severely restrict project development activity in environmentally-sensitive regions or areas. Our business may be adversely affected by increases in interest rates or banks refusing to lend money: An increase in interest rates by the Federal Reserve, or banks withholding loans, could adversely affect the affordability and attractiveness of financing for the project or from prospective buyers or renters of our properties. Our cost of borrowing would also increase as a result of interest rate increases, which could, in turn, adversely affect our results of operations. We may face intense competition from other developers: Competition among real estate developers may result in increased costs for the acquisition of land, increased costs for raw materials, shortages of skilled contractors, oversupply of properties, decrease in prices, and increases in administrative costs for hiring or retaining qualified personnel, any of which may adversely affect our business and financial position. If we cannot respond to changes in market conditions as swiftly and effectively as our competitors, our business and financial position will be adversely affected. If a well financed competitor operates near our proposed location it could materially affect our business. Dependence on Suppliers May Affect the Ability of the Fund to Conduct Business: The Fund depends upon a number of suppliers for development, construction and renovations components. There is an inherent risk that certain components of the Fund’s products will be unavailable for prompt delivery or, in some cases, discontinued. The Fund has only limited control over any third-party suppliers as to quality controls, timeliness of production, deliveries and various other factors. Should the availability of certain components be compromised, it could force the Fund to develop alternative components, or employ additional third-party suppliers, which could add to development costs, and compromise delivery commitments, thus could materially adversely affecting business, results from operations and financial condition. Investment Considerations Regulations: The Fund is subject to various federal and state laws, rules and regulations governing, among other things, the licensing of, and procedures that must be followed by, and disclosures that must be made to investors purchasing securities. Failure to comply with these laws may result in civil and criminal liability and may, in some cases, give investors right to rescind their investment transactions and to demand the return of funds paid to the Fund. Because the Fund’s business is highly regulated, the laws, rules and regulations applicable to the Fund are subject to subsequent modification and change. The Fund believes it is in full compliance with any and all applicable laws, rules and regulations. Lack of Audited Financial Statements: The Fund does not have audited financial statements. In the future, the books and records of the Fund will be audited by a firm of independent certified public

16 | P a g e

accountants selected by Management. Management Discretion as to Use of Proceeds: The net proceeds from this Offering will be used for the purposes described under “Use of Proceeds.” The Fund reserves the right to use the funds obtained from this Offering for other similar purposes not presently contemplated which it deems to be in the best interests of the Fund and its Unit Holders in order to address changed circumstances or opportunities. As a result of the foregoing, the success of the Fund will be substantially dependent upon the discretion and judgment of Management with respect to application and allocation of the net proceeds of this Offering. Investors for the Units offered hereby will be entrusting their funds to the Fund’s Management, upon whose judgment and discretion the investors must depend. Long Term Nature of Investment: An investment in the Units may be long term and illiquid. As discussed above, the offer and sale of the Units will not be registered under the Securities Act or any foreign or state securities laws by reason of exemptions from such registration which depends in part on the investment intent of the investors. Prospective investors will be required to represent in writing that they are purchasing the Units for their own account for long-term investment and not with a view towards resale or distribution. Accordingly, purchasers of Units must be willing and able to bear the economic risk of their investment for an indefinite period of time. It is likely that investors will not be able to liquidate their investment in the event of an emergency. No Current Market for Units: There is no current market for the Units offered in this private Offering and no market is expected to develop in the near future. Dilution: If the Fund decides to authorize and sell additional securities current Unit Holders would most likely face a dilution in ownership. Offering Price: The price of the Units offered has been arbitrarily established by Scarlet Matador Fund, LLC, considering such matters as the state of the Fund’s business development and the general condition of the industry in which it operates. The Offering price bears little relationship to the assets, net worth, or any other objective criteria of value applicable to Scarlet Matador Fund, LLC Projections; Forward Looking Information: Management has prepared projections regarding Scarlet Matador Fund, LLC’s anticipated financial performance. The Fund’s projections are hypothetical.

Exhibit A

BUSINESS PLAN

Scarlet Matador Fund, LLC

26 | P a g e

Company Overview
The current national economic woes have created a tremendous opportunity, specifically within the multifamily real estate and multifamily capital marketplace. Market conditions along with the current administration has created a significant yield spread/pricing gap between stabilized, well operated properties and distressed multifamily assets. Agency lenders such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are producing over 80% of multifamily loan volume. The remaining 20% of volume is distributed between HUD, regional and national portfolio loans, hard money and bridge lenders, and local interim bank financing. This capital distribution model offers a very competitive array of options for the acquisition of stabilized multifamily assets, but offers very little options for the acquisition of distressed multifamily assets. The multifamily property market has adjusted to this capital marketplace and prices for quality distressed asset buyers have significantly dropped to generational lows, while stabilized multifamily asset prices have dropped much less. Scarlet Matador Fund’s management team has over 10 years experience is the successful identification, acquisition, renovation, stabilization, management, marketing, and disposition of distressed multifamily assets. The management team’s deal-flow has outgrown their capital resources and has elected to create the Scarlet Matador Fund, LLC to exploit the current inefficiency that they have identified within the market. Property Management Inc (PMI) is a wholly owned company of fund management; they provide 3 rd party services to the multifamily industry such as: property management, construction management, bookkeeping/accounting, and brokerage services. PMI has been engaged to provide all of these services to all assets owned by Scarlet Matador Fund, LLC. This will not only streamline the Fund’s operations but will eliminate any “overhead” or administrative expenses for the Fund. Need These uncanny market conditions have created a solid opportunity for sophisticated investor/buyers that have a real understanding of the complex dynamics of today’s multifamily marketplace. Distressed assets buyers in this marketplace are filling a direct need of the marketplace, creating a previously unseen opportunity for the creation of tremendous stakeholder wealth. Many unconventional sellers such as special servicers, receivers, lenders, banks, federal agencies, and so on are in dire need of experienced operators to acquire these distressed assets at significantly below market prices, in order to clean up balance sheets of lending institutions. They are increasing only seeking to deal with experienced distressed asset buyers that can move quickly and can be depended on to close. These relationships are one of the key factors in the Scarlet Matador Fund’s management’s previous success. Solution
Scarlet Matador Fund, LLC; taking full advantage of the inefficiencies in today’s capital marketplace

The basic business model for the Scarlet Matador Fund, LLC is one that has been created and adopted by the management team of the Fund. There are always minor inefficiencies within the multifamily capital and real estate markets, but today’s other economic conditions have drastically magnified these inefficiencies. Fund management has been involved in this specific industry for over ten years and has completed multiple successful rounds of acquisitions and dispositions.

Fund management has recognized the rare opportunity in today’s marketplace and has exploited the opportunity to their fullest ability. They currently have four large projects going. Their deal-flow and management capabilities are far greater than their own capital resources. As a result they have formed the

27 | P a g e

Scarlet Matador Fund, LLC to not only seize the current opportunities of today’s marketplace, but also to create investor wealth. Market Scarlet Matador Fund, LLC’s ultimate goal is to acquire assets at deep discounts and in turn re-sell them at marketable prices for a large capital gain. This objective is more widely possible due to the unusual circumstances of the current capital marketplace. The market for these distressed assets is a very tightly knit community, mostly relationship driven. Unconventional sellers previously turned to more traditional marketing methods such as broker networks, MLS databases, and internet databases. These methods have proven successful for marketing stabilized, well operated properties to conventional investors seeking stabilized market returns. But these methods have proven to be far less successful in disposing of distressed multifamily assets. This is due to the fact that the vast majority of stabilized asset investors do not understand the acquisition and repositioning of said multifamily assets. Distressed asset sellers were overwhelmed with multiple “over market” offers from foreign and domestic “syndicate groups” that had never even seen marketed property. They were overwhelmed in sorting through potential purchasers trying to determine the credibility of numerous unqualified offers. These sellers soon realized the importance of dealing with professional investors, with seasoned track-records; a buyer that they could count on offers being real and count of a seamless closing. These market circumstances have in turn drastically eroded pricing on distressed assets along with circumstances previously discussed regarding the capital marketplace. Competitive Advantage Scarlet Matador Fund, LLC’s competitive advantage within this niche marketplace is our ability to be nimble and act quickly. The management team’s deep experience in distressed assets has garnished them the investor confidence to move quickly and avoid a bureaucratic underwriting model that is prohibitive to meeting market demands. Their relationship with PMI also affords them the ability to reduce operating cost and avoid spending unnecessary time building a corporate infrastructure at the cost of the fund and investors. Fund management can devote all of their time and resources to fund assets. Another important advantage of Scarlet Matador’s relationship with PMI is the comprehensive approach that they take to the renovations, stabilization, management, and accounting of each subject property. PMI offers comprehensive asset management services to the Fund at below market pricing that far exceeds market quality. Revenue Model Scarlet Matador Fund, LLC operates on a variety of revenue models:  The primary, most significant revenue source is the acquisition and re-sell of fund assets. This is typically a 20 month or less cycle and includes: acquisition, renovation, stabilization, marketing, and disposition. The bulk of investor returns will be generated via this revenue model; all capital gains will be paid out in dividends on a proportionate equity ownership basis upon each sale. Each property will also generate its own individual income, investor distributions will also be paid on access cash flow dividends. Investors will also be paid on preferred equity, upon being vested. These dividends will be paid via operating income of said properties.

 

28 | P a g e

Financials    Scarlet Matador Fund, LLC will launch its investment activities upon the successful raise of $500,000.00, it will then proceed to continue raising the target amount of $9,890,000.00 The Fund will leverage its funds to maximize investor/principal returns. The management team currently has the necessary deal flow to acquire maximum fund assets in a maximum of a 12 month period. Preferred returns will be generated as soon as funds are vested into said projects, cash flow dividends will be generated upon stabilization of Fund assets, and capital gains income will be generated roughly 20 months from initial investment.

Exit Scarlet Matador Fund, LLC is a fixed life opportunity fund, and aims to return invested capital at the end of fund operations. The management team anticipates being able to, at minimum, turn through principal investment, two times, before the predetermined five year lifecycle of the fund.

Market Analysis

Industry Defined: Scarlet Matador Fund, LLC will operate within the multifamily marketplace, primarily in the Texas and the Midwest. Distressed assets within this marketplace are victims of the current turmoil within the capital marketplace. The absence of attractive bridge and interim financing options have created a significant pricing gap between stabilized assets, that qualify for attractive agency financing, and distressed, sub-performing, assets. Scarlet Matador Fund, LLC’s management team has actively been involved within this marketplace. Even in the greatest of economic times, in the most liquid market environment, poor operators created opportunity in the acquisition and repositioning of distressed assets. Fund management has been acquiring, repositioning, and re-selling troubled assets for over 10 years, operating within a modest deal flow model using their own leveraged capital. Today’s economic circumstances have created an uncanny opportunity for fund management to leverage their market knowledge and experience and 3rd party equity investors, looking to capitalize on distressed multifamily assets, to create an enormous wealth creation mechanism, the Scarlet Matador Fund, LLC. Target Market: Scarlet Matador Fund, LLC has a complex target market that is very complex and codependent in nature. The ultimate target market is multifamily investors seeking stabilized multifamily assets that provide cash-flow, appreciation exposure, tax shelters, and leveraged real property returns. This target market is highly dependant on specific market characteristics such as available long-term debt/financing options and availability, availability of performing assets available on the open market, and ultimately the micro and macro characteristics of the rental markets in said sub-markets. Multifamily assets value is a function of the income that it produces and the availability of capital to acquire such assets.

Marketing Plan
The Purpose The Purpose of this plan is to quantify and explain to potential investors the deal flow mechanism used by Scarlet Matador Fund, LLC to identify attractive distressed multifamily projects. The old adage “you make your money when you buy it” is profoundly correct in the distressed asset repositioning and re-sell business; hence our marketing plan is focused on acquisitions. The disposition element of our business plan is comprehensively handled by PMI, who has vast expertise in the maximized disposition on stabilized multifamily assets. The Goal    A 1st round divestment cycle of less than 15 months. A 2nd round divestment cycle corresponding to 1st round dispositions. A 5-year or less 2 round buy-sell cycle, or fund lifecycle.

The Target We will be targeting three primary distressed asset/ non-conventional seller groups:

  

Special Servicers (CMBS servicers, etc..) Conventional REO sellers Other Distressed ownership: Estates, Portfolio Liquidation, Auctions, Condemnations, Etc..

The Plan Adequate deal flow is one of the key functions of the Scarlet Matador Fund, LLC. Fund management has created this deal flow through a successful track record of purchasing distressed assets from nonconventional sellers and proving their ability to move quickly and perform as represented. The bulk of deal flow will be fruits of these delicate relationships that fund management has successfully created over the previous 5 years. The specific identities of these contacts are a much protected trade secret of Fund management but here are a few examples of these contacts:     Special Servicers of CMBS defaults Institutional brokers Asset managers of REO assets Court appointed Receivers

Fund Management has created a basic model of the characteristics that they seek in potential acquisitions, their network of unconventional sellers and brokers present such deals to Fund Management. Management reviews many deals, and when one somewhat meets criteria on paper they immediately schedule a site visit for further review by management team. All identification, underwriting, and acquisition procedures are handled directly by senior Fund Management, specifically Mr. Preston.
