OFFERING OVERVIEW
Impact Growth Fund I
The Impact Growth Fund is a buy, rehab/redevelop, lease-up, refinance, hold, and repeat fund with a 20+ year time horizon that targets a 100% return of capital within the first 7 years through cash flow, not liquidity events.
Once 100% of capital is returned, the Fund is using “house money” to continue to grow, your ownership remains unchanged, and you continue to receive cash flow for the next 10-15 years!
Beyond cash flow, the Impact Fund is a powerful tool that significantly reduces the tax burden from profits**. With continued acquisitions and cost segregation studies, each 1-3 years brings large paper depreciation losses that offset profits. Thus, capital continues to grow with little hindrance.
What Does this Mean to You?

The 4-C Growth Strategy*
We’ve designed the Impact Growth Fund to follow the 4-C Continuous Cash Flow Model:
Here’s how it works: We invest in the fund. The fund invests in a project, greatly enhancing asset value sufficient to refinance a target 100%+ of invested capital out. The tax-free proceeds from closing are then used to acquire the next project, conduct capital improvements, enhance asset value, and so on.
We brought the secrets of the wealthy to Impact Investing.
Continuous Cycling Compounds Cash Flow (4-C)
This process is then cycled again and again. As projects are added, their respective cash flow returns compound. Capital gains taxes are avoided—assets under management swell, and cash flow from properties compounds continuously for the life of the Impact Fund.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why Affordable Housing?
We believe mobile home parks are the most recession-resistant investment available in the market today. In addition, these properties tend to produce high levels of cash flow and have ample room for profit growth via the infilling of homes. Apartment communities have scale, are easier to source lending, and tend to appreciate at a higher rate. RV parks are in hot demand and seem to be the future for much of affordable housing.
Why must investors be accredited?
There are many types of legal ways to raise money, but we chose a 506(c) Reg D fund. This type of fund allows us to speak publicly about the raise. Because of that, the SEC prohibits us from taking investments from non-accredited individuals. If you are non-accredited and would learn more about how to become accredited, please reach out to us at info@impactgrowthcap.com.
How do you plan to manage the growth?
We have operated 22 affordable mobile home communities, RV parks, and apartment complexes with a staff of 10-12 personnel for years. When Jon W. was at Apple, he had a 3 man team that oversaw 30-50 development projects a year with a managed scope of around $100M, but behind that was a detailed yet flexible Design Standard that trained contractors and consultants to achieve the same end goal. Getting to stability and staying there will be our key. Fortunately, we’ve done this before.
When do I get my money back?
We are targeting 100% of invested capital fully returned by year 7 through cash flow.
Where will you acquire properties for the fund?
We take a multifaceted approach to acquisitions. Each project must meet the aforementioned requirements. We source affordable housing projects from traditional on-market and off-market sources as well as through relationships with public officials, property owners, brokers, and etc.
Can I invest using SDIRA funds?
Yes, as long as your SDIRA provider allows for it and the proper rules are followed. Please reference the PPM as it specifically discusses how to invest via an SDIRA. Investors should work with their custodian to ensure their SDIRA investment is managed properly. If you need assistance sourcing a custodian, we can recommend ones that have treated our investors well.
What is the biggest risk factor, or threat to success?
Debt markets. In 2008, numerous commercial real estate operators went bankrupt because they could not access debt for their assets. However, two lenders remained active when all others stopped: Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (Agency). Every single property level business plan we undertake must meet the requirements for the property to qualify for Agency debt. Thus, even if the debt markets are melting down at the time of a refinance, we should still be able to qualify for and secure Agency debt.
