Purchase Strategies

Note purchase directly from lender

• Foreclose on property and assume control

• Potentially the most cost-effective way to obtain property

• Foreclosure may be contested and thereby costly and time consuming

Short sale of the note

• Lender reduces note and property is purchase directly through developer

• Buyer obtains property at closing

• Developers and lenders may not cooperate

Direct purchase from developer

• Buyer controls property at closing

• Buyer can choose which units to buy

• Discounts tend to be smaller as developer still controls pricing

6

Page 7: A Perspective on South Florida Real Estate Opportunities Solutions RE, LLC

A Perspective on South Florida Real Estate OpportunitiesExecutive Summary

Direct from bank (REO)

• Buyer assumes control of property at closing

• All property issues have generally been addressed

• Most properties are being sold prior to foreclosure so options may be limited

Exit Strategies

Buy & Hold

• Rent units for period of time

• Usually produces consistent cash flow over time

• Acquisition prices are not attractive to developers or banks

7

Page 8: A Perspective on South Florida Real Estate Opportunities Solutions RE, LLC

A Perspective on South Florida Real Estate OpportunitiesExecutive Summary

Buy, Flip & Finance

• Purchase units at wholesale price and then immediate resale them and hold paper for

buyers

• Opportunity to exploit different in wholesale and retail pricing

• Market remains challenging for many properties and competition is intense

Hybrid Model

• Buy, flip some units with (or w/o) financing and rent the remaining units with a lower

cost basis

• A portion of investment cash returned quickly

• Sales remain challenging within the overall market

Between 2002 to present 43,408 have been built or are currently under construction.

Of the 43,408 units, 25,552 have closed and 17,597 remain available

Population and tourism growth along with strong vacation home interest fueled the boom, along with lax lending standards and weak

local building regulations.

-Sales fell 54% in 2008- While sales are projected to continue to be

slower in the coming four years, new condo projects starts are expected to be very few ,

thereby allowing absorption of remaining units and thereby further reduce supply.

The Real Estate Market in South FloridaPurchase Strategies - General Observations

Real Estate is usually all about location, so generally speaking better locations may present long-term

opportunities as prices tend to fall less and recover more quickly.

Better locations tend to have a built-in demand for property so there tends to be a ready supply of renters and

buyers over time.

Some neighborhoods are unique and cater to unique niches in the population, thereby insuring a steady supply of

renters and buyers and providing support for pricing

Generally, the more units in a property available, the greater discount can be negotiated as sellers (banks or

developers) are under greater pressure to liquidate al the inventory rather than just blocks of inventory. Also,

once the developer sells some units in a block at a discount, they generally set the market price for a property for

buyers in the not-to-distant future.

For buyers, the best case scenario is generally to purchase as much inventory as possible in any particular

building. In most instances, seeking buildings with more than 50% (and as close to 100% as possible) is most

effective and efficient as pricing reductions are greatest if the buyers purchases all the remaining inventory. Also,

buyers then control the market for the property and can better manage inventory and pricing

Smaller units tend to have higher rents per sq ft and are often better values in terms of leasing.

The Real Estate Market in South FloridaPurchase Strategies

Purchase Note Directly from Lender Advantages

• Buy note and assume role of lender

• Notes normally already in default and foreclosure action may have been initiated by lender

• Ability to foreclosure liens off property at foreclosure (with exception of tax some government liens

(such as water and utility liens)

• Ability to then negotiate with borrower from a position of strength

• In most instances, this will be the most cost-effective strategy

Disadvantages

• Foreclosure may be needed thereby involving uncertainty and legal fees

• Borrower may file bankruptcy and potentially greatly slow the process of obtaining the asset

• Banks have been reluctant sellers and can take extraordinary time to make decisions

• Buyers may assume all warranty issues of developer if purchasing/assuming more than seven (7)

units

• If subcontractors remain unpaid, the may not honor standard warranties on their work

44

Page 45: A Perspective on South Florida Real Estate Opportunities Solutions RE, LLC

The Real Estate Market in South FloridaPurchase Strategies

Short Sale of the Note Advantages

• Purchase property through owner (borrower) via the bank agreeing to price less than total outstanding

balance on the note

• Buyer assumes the property at closing

• Likely less costly (legal fees, opportunity costs, etc) than foreclosure

• Ability to execute sales and leasing programs immediately

Disadvantages

• Short sale does not eliminate liens from property

• Must work directly with what can be very reluctant to non-cooperative sellers

• Banks can delay the process for very long periods of time

• Buyers may assume all warranty issues of developer if purchasing/assuming more than seven (7)

units

• Price may be somewhat higher than an outright purchase of the note

• If subcontractors remain unpaid, the may not honor standard warranties on their work

45

Page 46: A Perspective on South Florida Real Estate Opportunities Solutions RE, LLC

The Real Estate Market in South FloridaPurchase Strategies

Direct Purchase from Developer Advantages

• Buyer assumes property (units) at closing

• Time to purchase is generally not as long as banks are generally not involved and do not delay the

process

• Can select units to purchase rather than buying all the inventory in a specific property

• Generally, all subcontractors have been paid in full so they may honor warranties on their work

Disadvantages

• Discounts tend to be smaller than with note purchases or short sales

• Usually, a limited number of units are available as all others have generally closed

• Buyer competes with all other unit owners in terms of sales and rentals

• Buyers may assume all warranty issues of developer if purchasing/assuming more than seven (7)

units

46

Page 47: A Perspective on South Florida Real Estate Opportunities Solutions RE, LLC

The Real Estate Market in South FloridaPurchase Strategies

Direct from Bank (REO)

Advantages

• Buyer assumes control of property at closing

• Liens have generally been dismissed or otherwise addressed

• Property has generally been maintained and, at times, leased

Disadvantages

• Banks can be challenging to work with on pricing and closing terms

• Competition can be strong as the banks generally entertain many suitors for properties

• Buyers may assume all warranty issues of developer if purchasing/assuming more than seven (7)

units

• Currently, many properties are sold via Note Purchases or Note Short Sales and are therefore not

being foreclosed upon by Lenders. As such, many properties are not reaching the REO stage before

being purchased by investor(s).

47

Page 48: A Perspective on South Florida Real Estate Opportunities Solutions RE, LLC

The Real Estate Market in South FloridaExit Strategies

Buy & Hold Strategy• Rental of Units for Period of Time

• Cash Flow and Capitalization Rate will be determining factors

• Strategy can be applied to intact buildings (no closed units) or to condo buildings that have closed units

• Intact properties can be reconverted from condos to apartments to decrease operating costs, including taxes,

insurance and management

• Building can be reconverted and sold as individual condos or sold in its entirety as a multi-family property

Advantages

• Consistent cash flow performance over time

• Maximize expense savings when intact buildings converted from condo to apartment building

• Ability to sell individual units or entire building when market improves

Disadvantages

• Purchase prices tend to be low for lenders as many investors tend to under value the discount between

wholesale and retail pricing

• Overall returns may be affected if the rental market remains soft for a longer period of time than anticipated

48

Page 49: A Perspective on South Florida Real Estate Opportunities Solutions RE, LLC

The Real Estate Market in South FloridaExit Strategies

Buy, Flip & Finance Purchase of units at wholesale pricing and immediately placing them back on the market at retail price

Upon sale of a unit, the investor provides financing for a certain percentage of the sale price (50% to 80% LTV)

Investor holds debt for a period of time (2 to 5 years expected) in anticipation of normal credit market operations in

the next 12 to 24 months

Some units that are more challenging to sell may be held back and leased for long-term sale

Advantages

Opportunity to exploit price differential between wholesale and retail pricing structures

Investor is able to gain back portion of investment quickly and use funds for alternative investments

Any units that do not sell and are rented will have a lower cost basis and higher overall rental ROI because of the

profits from unit sales will reduce the overall investment basis for these remaining units.

Disadvantages

Sales made within 12 months of purchase will be taxed at higher rate than longer term capital gains

Units may be challenging to sell in the present market, even with financing provided

The overall return may be somewhat negatively affected by the amount and length of time paper is held by the

investor

Page 50: A Perspective on South Florida Real Estate Opportunities Solutions RE, LLC

The Real Estate Market in South FloridaExit Strategies

Hybrid Model Rental of certain units and sale of other units

Often, this is the most effective exit strategy for many Miami condo projects with current availability

Many buildings have units that will not necessarily be appropriate to rent such as penthouses and particularly

large floor plans that can often be sold for considerable profit above the wholesale price of the unit. Those same

properties likely have many units in desirable locations that could be leased profitably

Advantages

If larger, more profitable units are sold quickly, profits can be taken our and exposure reduced to the overall

property

Remaining cost basis for units would thereby be reduced and the rental model would work much more effectively

Disadvantages

Some properties in marginal neighborhoods would not fit this model

Financing by investor may be needed to liquidate some units which may restrain overall return over time
