    3.04 ADVANTAGESOFBUYINGDISTRESSEDPROPERTIES TheFundwillbebuyingpropertiesinadecliningmarket.For18to36months,itisanticipated

    that prices will either remain flat or declinemodestly. The advantage to buyingunder these

    circumstancesisthatpropertiesmeetingFundobjectiveswillbemoreplentifulasotherinvestors

    speculating on appreciation and owner occupants will not be competing to acquire these

    properties.DuringtheinitialperiodofFundacquisition,dealqualitymayimproveaslowerresale

    pricesmakeforgreaterratesofreturnoninvestedcapital.

    Since distressed properties are ostensibly trading below their true value, obtaining these

    propertieswhile they are distressed and holding them untiltheyarenot distressed creates a

    potentialforappreciationinexcessofnon-distressedproperties.

    The advantages to keeping a holdover occupant in place are twofold: first, the property has

    constitutesa"planasset,"andtheunderlyinginvestmentsoftheFunddonot.Iftheunderlying

    assets of the Fundwere determined tobe "planassets," (i) the requirement that plan assets
