5. This presentation includes statements concerning the Company's expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, goals, strategies, assumptions of future events, future financial
performance, or growth and other statements that are not historical facts. These statements are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995. In some cases, readers and the audience can identify these forward-looking statements through the use of words or phrases such as "estimate," "expect,"
"anticipate," "intend," "plan," "project," "believe," "forecast," "should," "could," and other similar expressions. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that may cause
actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those included in the forward-looking statements. The Company's expectations, beliefs, and projections are expressed in good
faith and are believed by the Company to have a reasonable basis, but there can be no assurance that management's expectations, beliefs, or projections will result or be achieved or
accomplished. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those included in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, factors affecting the
Company’s ability to successfully operate and manage its business, including, among others, title disputes, weather conditions, shortages, delays, or unavailability of equipment and
services required in real estate development, property management, brokerage and investment and fund operations, the need to obtain governmental approvals and permits, and
compliance with environmental laws and regulations; changes in costs of operations; loss of markets; volatility of real estate prices; imprecision of property valuations;
environmental risks; fluctuations in weather patterns; competition; inability to access sufficient capital from internal and external sources; general economic conditions; litigation;
changes in regulation and legislation; economic disruptions or uninsured losses resulting from major accidents, fires, severe weather, natural disasters, terrorist activities, acts of
war, cyber attacks, or pest infestation; increasing costs of insurance, changes in coverage and the ability to obtain insurance; and other presently unknown or unforeseen factors.
Other risk factors are detailed from time to time in the Company's reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the
date on which such statement is made, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update the information contained in any forward-looking statements to reflect developments or
circumstances occurring after the statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
In addition to financial measures calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), this presentation contains certain non-GAAP financial measures.
The Company believes that such non-GAAP financial measures are useful because they provide an alternative method for assessing the Company’s operating results in a manner
that is focused on the performance of the Company’s ongoing operations, for measuring the Company’s cash flow and liquidity, and for comparing the Company’s financial
performance to other companies. The Company’s management uses these non-GAAP financial measures for the same purpose, and for planning and forecasting purposes. The
presentation of non-GAAP financial measures is not meant to be a substitute for financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

RATIONALITY
Investors are not
always rational.
EMOTIONS
Emotions can influence our
decision making –
Especially when uncertain.
SOCIAL BIASES
Social amplification
of biases and
influence of positive
feedback – upset
equilibrium.
CONTRARIAN
Applying behavioral
perspective goes
beyond just being a
contrarian.
Why is Behavioral Awareness
an importantinvestment tool?
12. MARKET EFFICIENCY
Inconsistent information &
dependence on intermediaries.

INABILITY TO GO SHORT
Can’t bet the other way.
PRICE DISCOVERY
No transparency or central exchange
means sellers know more than
buyers.
ILLIQUIDITY
Can’t just sell today and each
property is unique.
HIGH TRANSACTION COSTS
Expenses vary…from access costs to
commission’s & loans.
INVESTOR PERCEPTION
Misunderstood asset class. From
terminology, to how one derives value, aka
“income vs growth”.
EMOTIONAL PULL
More figuratively, since it is an asset you
can touch, you have a greater emotional
attachment to it. YOU OWN IT, therefore
it’s worth more.
Why is REAL ESTATE such a
ripe area for Behavioral Biases?

“The implication is that these are all relatively

characteristics”……”and that “Prime”
properties are less volatile.
A way of defining assets along
sector, style, and geographic
lines, which in turn have shaped
investor thinking and
expectations about what the
labels mean.

19. What investors shoulddo?
Which is the dominant and least
volatile source of real estate returns.
Place Particular Emphasis on the Level &
Sustainability of an Asset’s RENTAL INCOME.
Go beyond standard industry labels. Geography, sector, lease length, tenant risk,
refurbishment potential, building age, general state of the market….
WHICH OF THESE PREDICTED OUTPERFORMANCE.
Give Greater Consideration to the Underlying
Drivers of Real Estate Performance
Based upon different asset classes and different types
of assets within the classes; tenant risk, lease quality &
geography.
Diversify a Portfolio

Comps based on past pricing and similar assets.
PROPERTY OWNERS
& PROSPECTIVE SELLERS
ANCHOR valuations based on the PRICE THEY
PAID or ANY VALUATION ABOVE THAT PRICE.
BROKERS
ANCHOR valuations based on ASKING PRICES.
PROSPECTIVE BUYERS
ANCHOR current valuations to PAST TRANSACTIONS.
Real estate investors “anchor” to
a range of measures with low
predictive value - these include
economic growth rates,
weightings, market turnover and
pricing.

24. What investors should do?
Champion strategies that are centered around
analysis and maximization of income return.
Focus on Factors which Drive Income
Over Capital Gains
The lower the initial yield the greater the
market risk.
In Terms of Asset Valuation, Place Greater
Emphasis on Yield than Absolute Price
Focus on geographic markets that
emphasize income driven returns.
(AZ vs CA)
For Investors Concerned with Capital
Preservation
Look at what you actually have now and look
ahead.
Do Not Be Afraid to Take a Loss & Don’t
Focus on the Past to Evaluate the Future
26. MARKET CORRECTION
Occurs in 3 phases:
Phase 1 – Most hold
Phase 2 – Some hold but some sell
Phase 3 – All sell, WHEN THEY SHOULD BE BUYING
WHEN TO SELL
When assets fundamentals are no longer attractive
SELLING VS STRATEGY CHANGE OF
AN ASSET

28. What investors shoulddo?
With a disciplined buy, and multiple exit
strategies, OR choose a real estate
portfolio manager that does so.
Apply a Consistent Investment Process
As if you didn’t own them….would you buy them again
or are other investments more attractive?
Regularly Review Investments from First Principles
Don’t hold poor investments just to avoid a loss. If
the reason you bought it has changed, and the
fundamentals of the asset are no longer attractive,
THEN SELL.
Run the Winners, NOT the Losers
30. DIFFERENT RISKS FOR LOCATIONS
Different Cities, States & Countries Have
Different Risks & Benefits Associated with
Each – Property Taxes, Zoning, Local
attitudes.
READILY AVAILABLE INFORMATION
When we make decisions, we choose most
readily available information: Zillow, Redfin

your network & experience.

STRATEGY
CALIBER
INVESTMENTMARKETSASSETS ARE CURRENTLY DIVERSIFIED ACROSS 6 STATES
33. What investors shoulddo?
Broad geographic diversification can produce
better risk-adjusted returns.
First, Ensure that Portfolios are
Diversified Across Geographies
Given that Income forms the bulk of Total Returns, and is less volatile than
Capital Appreciation, one must ensure the sustainability of cash flows.
Asset specific analysis is essential.
Diversify Income Streams, the Attractiveness of Which
Depends on Geography
Bubbles can form in any market as a result of
behavioral biases.
Look for Assets in Various Cities,
States & Countries
35. “The Five Most Dangerous
Words in Business
are…..EVERYBODY ELSE IS
DOING IT.”
- WARREN BUFFET
36. UNDER UNCERTAINTY
Investors believe there is value in following the
decision-making of other market participants,
(first movers, experts or insiders who are
perceived to have more information).
SOCIAL PROOF TO BLAME
People follow the actions of others in an
attempt to reflect the “correct behavior” for a
given situation. The urge to conform.
DANGEROUS IN REAL ESTATE
In combination with individual cognitive errors,
market’s behavioral biases exert greater
influence on real estate prices than the
fundamentals. Ex: 2008 Housing Market.
When Investors STOP THINKING
INDEPENDENTLY and START
BLINDLY FOLLOWING THE
CONSENSUS.
WHAT IS
“HERDING BIAS”?
“
39. What investors shoulddo?
Acknowledge you will be vulnerable to your emotions.
Resist the Urge to Act
Impulsively in a Downturn
Recognize markets tend to over & under react. Be
greedy when others are fearful, and fearful when
others are greedy.
When in Doubt,
Default to Being a Contrarian
Ignore sentiment driven trends and KEEP DEBT LOW.
Opportunities will arise to buy over-levered deals.
Take a Long Term View
As trends fizzle out, and sellers become exhausted, a new
trendsetter will emerge, THE VALUE DRIVEN INVESTOR.
They kick off the recovery rally.
Realize There is a Limit to
Directional Herd Behavior
Investors who have “dry powder”…aka CASH, can buy
quality assets at attractive valuations.
