01 The Offering & Basics

What are Proactive Sustainable Bonds™?
They are real estate-backed, fixed-income-based, impact investments — an impact-first platform designed to deliver stable, above-market current income while advancing measurable social and environmental outcomes through disciplined real-asset investing. The fund generates current income while supporting affordable and workforce housing preservation.
Who issues and manages the bonds?
The bonds are issued by The Proactive Realty Income Fund II, LLC and managed by The Proactive Realty Group, LLC.
What backs the bonds?
A cross-collateralized portfolio of 22 Naturally Occurring Affordable Housing (NOAH) communities across the United States — manufactured-housing communities, distressed multifamily affordable housing, and SRO / workforce (motel) units.
Under what exemption are the bonds offered?
They are offered in reliance on Rule 506(c) of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933. Any offer is made only by means of the Fund's confidential Private Placement Memorandum (PPM), Operating Agreement, and subscription documents, which govern in all respects.

02 Eligibility & Who Can Invest

Who is eligible to invest?
The bonds are available only to accredited investors (as defined in Rule 501(a)) and institutional investors. Family offices and institutions seeking durable, real estate-backed yield are a core audience.
How is accredited status verified?
Because the offering uses Rule 506(c), the issuer will take reasonable steps to verify accredited-investor status before accepting any subscription. This is handled as part of the subscription process.

03 Returns & Distributions

What returns can I expect?
Bonds target an annual interest range of 9%–15%, depending on the investment tier, with illustrative cumulative returns of 30%, 45%, or 60% on the larger tiers over their 2–3 year terms. Figures are net of fees and cumulative, not compounded. All targets are illustrative; actual results may differ — see the PPM.
How often are distributions paid?
Quarterly, paid at the beginning of each quarter — cash flow from day one.
What's the difference between "current" and "deferred" income?
Each tier's quarterly distribution schedule splits the annual interest into a current portion (paid out during the year) and a deferred portion (paid with the final distribution alongside the return of capital). The exact split varies by tier and term.
Are the returns compounded?
No — projected returns are net of fees and cumulative, not compounded.

04 Investment Tiers & Minimums

What are the investment tiers and minimums?
There are five tiers spanning a $20K minimum up to $2M+:
TierInvestmentHoldInterest / yr
Tier 1$20K – $99K2 years9%
Tier 2$100K – $999K2 years15%
Tier 3$250K – $999K2 years15%
Tier 4$1M – $1.9M2–4 years15%
Tier 5$2M+3 years15%
Each tier has its own quarterly distribution schedule (current + deferred). Tier 4 carries a minimum 2-year hold. Final terms are per the PPM.
What is the smallest amount I can invest?
$20,000 (Tier 1).

05 Terms, Liquidity & Redemption

How long is my capital committed?
Terms run 2–4 years with a 2-year minimum hold and a clearly defined return-of-capital date.
When do I get my principal back?
100% of principal is returned at maturity, alongside the final quarterly distribution.
Can I redeem early?
The bonds are illiquid by design. There is no public market; early redemption is at the issuer's discretion under the PPM, and secondary considerations are reviewed case-by-case for qualifying investors. You should be prepared to hold for the full term.

06 Security & Capital Structure

How are the bonds secured?
They are cross-collateralized across all 22 NOAH communities — no single asset can impair the bond — with priority repayment ahead of Sponsor equity.
Where do I sit in the capital stack?
Bondholders are senior to Sponsor equity: senior mortgage debt is most senior and is actively retired; Proactive Sustainable Bonds™ are paid before the Sponsor earns a dollar; Sponsor equity is subordinate and absorbs losses first. You get paid first.
Where is my capital held before it's deployed?
Investor capital is held in an FDIC-insured custody account (via American Deposits / ADM, with custodian banks including Bank of America and Chase) until it is deployed.
Are the bonds themselves FDIC- or SIPC-insured?
No. The interests are not bank deposits and are not insured by the FDIC, SIPC, or any other program. (The FDIC insurance noted above applies only to the bank account where undeployed cash is custodied, not to the bonds.)

07 Underwriting & Portfolio

What is the portfolio's loan-to-value (LTV)?
Current LTV: <65% portfolio-wide, conservatively leveraged and actively reduced as senior debt is retired.
What is the debt-service coverage ratio (DSCR)?
1.45×–1.65× today, with a stabilized / pro-forma target of ~3.25×+ — a meaningful debt-service cushion.
How large is the portfolio?
$26M in affordable-housing assets under management, 647 units across 22 communities.
What does "below replacement cost" mean?
Assets are acquired for less than it would cost to build them new, providing an inherent value buffer, and are then stabilized through targeted operational improvements.
How are proceeds used?
Proceeds fund senior-lender paydown (lowering LTV, raising DSCR) and operational improvements — renovations, unit activation/turns, infrastructure & utilities, amenities, reserves & contingency, and code compliance.

08 Geography & Property Locations

Where are the properties located?
The portfolio comprises 22 Naturally Occurring Affordable Housing communities (647 units) across seven states: Illinois (Harvey, Riverdale, Phoenix), Indiana (Peru, LaFountaine), Nevada (Las Vegas), South Carolina (Orangeburg, Denmark, Greeleyville), Michigan (Detroit), Ohio (Lowellville), and Alabama (Selma).
How is the portfolio geographically diversified?
Holdings are spread across the Midwest (Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio), the Southeast (South Carolina, Alabama), and the Southwest (Nevada), so the bond does not depend on any single market. The entire portfolio is cross-collateralized — no single property or region can impair the bond.
Why these markets?
The strategy targets supply-constrained secondary and tertiary markets with durable workforce-housing demand, where assets can be acquired below replacement cost and stabilized through targeted operational improvements.
Can I see the individual locations or a map?
Yes. The investor deck includes an interactive “Nationwide Portfolio Snapshot” map — click any pin for that property's city, state, and unit count. The full property list is available at sustainablebonds.com/Portfolio.

09 Impact & Verification

What is NOAH?
Naturally Occurring Affordable Housing — housing that is affordable without government subsidy, here including manufactured-housing communities, distressed multifamily, and SRO / workforce units.
How affordable are the rents?
The portfolio provides housing at rents roughly 20%–30% below market, which also creates structural rent upside (a rent floor, not a ceiling).
Who verifies the impact?
Impact is independently verified by Morningstar Sustainalytics, UN PRI, BlueMark, and the Impact Evaluation Lab.
Can I see impact reports?
Yes — impact reports, the IMM framework, and scoring are available on request (and via sustainablebonds.com).

10 Sponsor & Track Record

What is the sponsor's track record?
25+ years across 14 completed community transformations, with $7.5M returned to debt investors to date and $26M in affordable-housing assets transacted.
How have prior deals performed?
The sponsor has delivered debt-based returns of 33% and 49% annualized (a sponsor-capability data point). Past performance is not indicative, predictive, or a guarantee of future results.
Who leads the firm?
  • Dr. Canaan Van Williams — Founder & Managing Partner (25+ yrs in real estate investment)
  • Greg C. Simonian — Senior Vice President ($4.5B+ raised across alternatives)
  • Bob Totaro — VP, Sales (40+ yrs)
  • Tony Lawrence — Director of Operations
  • Jesse Hollander — Director
  • Alicia Galloway — Investor Relations

11 Risk Factors

What are the main risks?
The securities are unregistered, speculative, and illiquid and involve a high degree of risk, including possible complete loss of capital. You should be able to bear the economic risk of an indefinite investment. Review the PPM's risk factors in full.
What if a property underperforms?
Cross-collateralization across 22 communities means no single asset can sink the bond; <65% portfolio LTV, 1.45×–1.65× DSCR (~3.25×+ stabilized), and priority repayment ahead of Sponsor equity provide cushion.
How does this perform in a downturn?
Through the 2020–2021 COVID stress test the portfolio delivered 100% rent collection and uninterrupted distributions. Demand for affordable housing tends to widen in downturns, not narrow.
What if I need liquidity before maturity?
Quarterly distributions provide cash flow from day one, and there is a clearly defined return-of-capital date. Beyond that, the bonds are illiquid; secondary considerations are reviewed case-by-case for qualifying investors.
