Our Mission To acquire quality properties providing secure and sustainable returns for our equity partners. About the Company The Partnered Property Acquisitions Group (The PPA Group) is an award-winning, full-service commercial real estate investment firm that seeks attractive, risk-adjusted returns for accredited and institutional investors. The PPA Group, making INC. Magazine s Top 100 and Top 20 Real Estate Companies lists in 2009 and 2010 respectively, specializes in the acquisition and repositioning of multifamily properties nationwide, focusing on primarily valueadd and core-plus opportunities. Our extensive network of private equity partners maximize their returns by investing with a skilled operator with a large portfolio of commercial real estate as well as in-house asset and property management capability. The investor benefits from the diversification of risk and economies of scale of a large asset portfolio and operations group regardless of the structure or size of their ownership interest. The PPA Group, LLC is experienced in the identification, finance, acquisition, repositioning and management of all types of commercial real estate throughout the United States. We are dedicated to sourcing quality properties for our investors and providing the premier asset management service in the commercial real estate industry. Our team offers a unique spectrum of expertise in all aspects of commercial real estate. They have a combined synergy capable of meeting any challenge while maximizing opportunity. Our acquisition strategy exclusively focuses on assets that create secure and sustainable returns in current market conditions. This is proven by our ability to be successful and win awards after the market crash in 2008. Providing exceptional service to our equity partners is our first priority each day. Honoring our promises and commitments, we distinguish ourselves with the highest level of professionalism and ethical behavior. We believe the key determinants of our success are buying right, aggressive leasing and creative asset management. Typically, target investments are in need of physical improvements, are partially or completely vacant and require improved operations and management. Our ability to execute quickly and derive value where others cannot allows us to earn our returns rather than wait for them like more passive investors. Buying right provides the margin to improve, lease and sell assets in a compressed time frame, which helps us achieve target returns for our equity partners. We understand that professional property management is the key element to ensure the success of our real estate holdings. The PPA Group uses a mixture of our in-house expertise along with our sister company, PPA Real Estate Management, whose diligence and quality standards provide our equity partners with the assurance of effective operations and protection on their investments. This process of buying assets at the right time coupled with our expert property and asset management services has led The PPA Group to higher-than-expected returns on many of our properties. Testimonial We have been involved in the growth and expansion of the PPA Group over the past several years and are proud to have been involved in arranging financing where the group at PPA exceeded projections in both the time it took to facilitate the turnaround and the increase in NOI at the property.

Strategy Biographies The PPA Group s strategy is to invest large amounts of time and human capital to source the most attractive opportunities for our investors. Extensive due diligence, including financial statement and property audits, is conducted by our in-house analysts and property management subsidiary prior to all asset acquisitions. Our equity partners receive in-depth and transparent reports on the findings of our analysis, so they receive all of the information needed to make educated investment decisions. We acquire low- to medium-risk properties with the right combination of price, location, quality, growth and rental potential. We provide a broad range of ownership structure options to meet the needs of our investors including joint venture partnerships, fractional ownership, direct ownership investments, equity partnerships and private placements. The PPA Group also takes pride in offering a full-service operating platform. We have taken the property management, utility billing and construction aspects of owning and managing commercial real estate and integrated it into the company. This allows for greater control quality, information and communication to our investors. Being vertically integrated provides investors with a value that more traditional commercial real estate investment companies do not offer.
