A few examples of our past and current investments that describe and illustrate our wide range of experience working with unique situations.

1. Examples of Investments

2. Woodlawn, TN The seller was transferred out of state and did not want to rent the home out 3 bedroom, 2 bath, 1300 sq. ft. Ranch home with 1.5 acres Less than 5k in improvements in 1997 Rental property for 2 years Positive Investment

3. Cookeville, TN The seller had moved/transferred to Canada and was financially distressed 3 bedroom, 2 bath, 1800 sq. ft., Custom built home with 1 acre Less than 5k in improvements in 1998 Rental property for over 5 years Positive Investment

4. Hardin Valley, TN This was a security’s owned property when purchased 3 bedroom, 2 bath, 1600 sq. ft., Ranch, Condo Rental property for 6 years (Less than 1k in improvements 2001-2007) Rehabbed in 2008 (~20k), sold during a recession Positive Investment

6. Karns, TN The previous slide was a government owned property This property had major foundational issues due to failure at the footers. The investigative research I conducted took two months prior to the purchase. The planning commission, codes department and three engineering firms were contacted and questioned by me. The answers warranted going forward with the investment. Piers and Anchors, Inc. performed the permanent repair to the foundation and the block walls were returned to original position. The footer was lifted by way of a system that utilizes the bedrock (25-200 ft.) below as well as piers and anchors that are constructed to last approximately 100 years. The results were impressive. The buyer was fully informed of the work that was performed and still lives in the home today. The remainder of the rehab went as scheduled with no major surprises. The house sold 1 month ahead of the target time frame and the rehab came in under budget. The house sold for full asking price and the buyer moved in with equity. Bought, rehabbed (major) in 2002 (~20k) and sold in less than 4 months Positive Investment
