consultative service blends the best ideas, identifying what work needs to be done to maximize the
return. The Company will work closely with real estate agents, ensuring they can coordinate staging,
schedule viewings, open homes and conduct marketing efforts effectively. The principals will meet

70% of the after-repair value (ARV) less the repair cost of the property. The Company expects the
average repair cost to be 10-12% of the property cost. Real Estate Company Name anticipates that it
will take an average of three months to complete a flip from purchase to the sale of the property.
Phase II - Construction
Home Building
The company plans to enter the exciting venture of home building from year four of its operations.
The home building will follow modern up-to-code building and safety regulations that will allow
homes to be more energy-efficient, with the use of proper foundation, insulation, and modern
heating and cooling techniques. This will result in long-term money savings and high property value.

MARKET ANALYSIS: REAL ESTATE
MARKET IN LOS ANGELES, CA
Pre Covid-19 Analysis
In Los Angeles, 2019 ended with the housing
market remaining strong and yet affordable
for homebuyers and investors. The first quarter
of 2020 ended with home sales running ahead
of last year’s pace in the entire Greater Los
Angeles housing market. 2020 has been a
record-breaking year for median home prices
in Los Angeles. The total number of existing
local homes, condos, and townhomes sold
during January was 2,875. Sales were down
from December 2019. But compared to the
same time last year, January 2020 sales were
up 25.2% for homes and up 22.8% for condos
and townhomes. By the end of January, Los
Angeles REALTORS® reported 4,906 single-
family homes listed for sale. In January 2020,
68.8% of all existing local homes and 66.2% of all
existing local condos and townhomes sold
within 60 days. The median sales price of a
single-family home set a record in February
2020, when it hit an all-time peak of $316,000.
This kind of growth was seen before the burst
of the housing bubble that led to a deep
recession in the housing market of Southern
California for over a decade. The year-over-
year increases in the median home price and
sales were 6.7% and 25.7%, respectively2
. Some
9.8% of local home sales in the first quarter of
2108 were flipped, the ninth-highest share in
the country. Los Angeles flip market is among
the top ten in the USA. The chart shows the
percentage of flip home sales every quarter3

Post Covid-19 Analysis
The COVID-19 pandemic is causing a
short-term decline in the Los Angeles housing
market. The economy of Los Angeles is largely
driven by the tourism industry, which took a massive hit
due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Due to rising economic
uncertainly of the likes of the infamous recession, coupled with
stay-at-home orders, the number of home sales in the Los Angeles
housing market for April 2020 dropped sharply when compared to
March 2020. Many construction projects were also canceled or
postponed indefinitely. Some real estate experts, however, are
predicting a fast turnaround of the economy of Los Angeles once
again when the viral pandemic eventually starts diminishing. Redfin,
a real estate brokerage, reported that 42.3% of Los Angeles-area homes had multiple offers
during the four weeks ending in May 2020. According to Los Angeles Realtors, there was a
three-month supply of available homes in Southern California in April, up 48.7% from March
and up 18.4% from the prior year. This indicates that it was still a seller's real estate market.
The median price for a home in Los Angeles is $325,000, which set a record for June 2020, up
3.1% from the previous month and up 7% from the prior year. The numbers for July 2020 have
not yet been released, but according to the experts, the market does not appear to be
slowing down. Currently, in July 2020, there are just over 5,200 homes for sale. Last year in
July, there were more than 8,000. The home resale market also has continued to improve
recently, with 2,460 homes selling in June, representing a 45% jump from the previous month.
According to Forbes, the national housing market
is expected to bounce back faster than
anticipated from the damage caused by the
COVID-19 pandemic. Forbes also believes that the
Los Angeles housing market is among those cities
that are showing the most signs of a positive
recovery. With the reopening of its economy, the
Los Angeles real estate industry is looking forward
to ways the business can be conducted in the new
normal4

Foreclosure Trends in Los Angeles
California spiraled to the second-highest
foreclosure rates in the nation. Los Angeles
Realtors reported that short sales and
foreclosures combined accounted for 2.7% of all
existing local property sales in January 2020. That
compares to 2.8% of all sales one year ago, 4.3%
two years ago and 11% three years ago.
Unfortunately, then the coronavirus came along
and set things back once again. Due to the
tourism-dependent economy, California has
been rocked by record job losses as a result of the
ongoing pandemic, raising the prospect of waves of
missed mortgage or rent payments. According to the Los
Angeles foreclosure data by Zillow, in Los Angeles, 1.4 homes are
foreclosed per 10,000. This is the same as the Los Angeles-Henderson-
Paradise Metro value, and greater than the national value of 1.2. The percentage of
delinquent mortgages in Los Angeles is 1.2%, which is higher than the national value of 1.1%.
The percentage of Los Angeles homeowners underwater on their mortgage is 7.2%, while the
figure for the Los Angeles-Henderson-Paradise Metro as a whole is just slightly lower, at 7.1%.
There are currently 1,221 properties in Los Angeles, CA that are in some stage of foreclosure
(default, auction, or bank-owned), while the number of homes listed for sale on RealtyTrac
is 6,105. In May 2020, the number of properties that received a foreclosure filing in Los
Angeles, CA, was 84% lower than the previous month and 97% lower than the same time last
year5

industry
• By humanizing the Company, by showing videos of before and after the
renovation of homes
• Researching to gain insight into questions frequently asked by a potential

engine marketing campaign. Websites that appear on the first page of Google are
considered trusted, authoritative sites. SEO is a long-term strategy and has the potential to
be the most lucrative marketing channel for most businesses. This form of marketing uses
unpaid tactics to improve a site’s search engine results ranking. Search engine optimization
is broken up into the following main areas: onsite optimization, offsite optimization, and local
SEO.

EXIT STRATEGY
After careful consideration, the Company has developed the following strategies to exit the
venture:
Buyout & Merger
Real Estate Company Name experiences growth and sees an opportunity to expand its
brand into additional markets as a successful income-generating operation. Additional
markets open the door for additional product offerings and revenue streams. Due to its
substantial market growth and industry recognition, major competing brands begin to take
notice of the Company. These businesses approach Real Estate Company Name with
attractive buyout offers; then the Company negotiates and sells to the best deal.
Real Estate Company Name merges with another company to expand its market reach and
development capabilities. Potential merger partners include companies that can offer a
more diversified market reach or provide expanded resources for research and
development. Real Estate Company Name’s management would maintain the majority
control of the Company and combine its operational and sales efforts with its merger
partner.
Instances are:
Griffin Real Estate
In 2017, Poland-based Griffin Real Estate planned to sell part of its asset
portfolio in an initial public offering (IPO) worth about 150 million euros ($159
million). The offering represented the largest IPO on the Warsaw Stock
Exchange since December 2013. Griffin Real Estate invests in the
commercial real estate market in Central and Eastern Europe. Its portfolio
