MONOPOLY I, LLC - Why Invest?

Friday, April 1, 2011

When asked why they decided to join our Monopoly family, they said:

"We are excited to join the Monopoly family. The central theme we found during our research was the quality and integrity of the M1 family. Hand in hand with this we found a sound business plan and quality leadership. Rachel and I couldn't let the opportunity to be part of a developing business with these attributes walk on by. We are glad to be a part of the M1 family and look forward to participating in this journey." Isaac and Rachel Best

"Like so many others, we have always felt real estate would be a wise and solid addition to our financial plan, but had no idea how to start, and did not really have the time or the expertise to make it work. This is an awesome way to accomplish this. Also, we love the “family” approach, future generation focus, detailed growth plan, and values as well as the comfort of knowing it is a Christian organization. We have faith in Bill’s ability, with God’s help, to bring this to fruition and look forward to this adventure with the entire Monopoly family!” Leon and Lynne Reeder

"We want to diversify our investments, we trust the management, and we know a lot of the people investing in the company. We are looking for additional ways to save for retirement and this seemed like a great way to do it." CPT Tim and CPT Mary Speace, Wheaton College, Class of 2006

“We’ve decided to join the monopoly family because we both realize that investing in real estate is generally a win, win situation. And over the long-term, we will see financial gains as well as our children will reap the benefits also.” Darrin and Cheryl Lee

“I am a young Christian Army officer, looking for a way to better my future and the future of the children I someday hope to have. I see the Monopoly family as a group of people with beliefs, values, and goals that are similar to my own, which eases many of my concerns about what I am investing in.” 2LT Tyler Reynolds, Oregon State University, Class of 2009

"We wanted to expand our current real estate investment portfolio and be part of an organization that supports the future military community. I am a longtime friend of Bill Holstine and have admired his knowledge of the real estate market as well as his insight on being financially responsible and independent". MAJ Amahdy Bradley, Northern Illinois University, Class of 1996

"I see a bright future in your company and in the rental market. I am impressed by your business model and exit strategy, and I respect the fact that success to Monopoly I is defined not only by the bottom line but by a positive experience for your tenants. I am looking for an investment vehicle that I believe in. I see Monopoly I as an opportunity to diversify my portfolio while diligently investing alongside other Christians. CPT Travis Owsley, West Point Military Academy, Class of 2007

"I see MONOPOLY 1, LLC as a great investment vehicle. I like to invest in things that I understand and I feel as if I understand Monopoly." 2LT Michael Orr, Wheaton College, Class of 2009

"This is a simple vehicle to invest in real estate, and I am more confident of its stability than that of our stock market." CPT Justin Stewart, Oregon State University, Class of 2007.

"Long-term investment opportunity done with trusted friends and co-workers". 1LT Brett Latsha, Wheaton College, Class of 2008

"I'm very new to investing so Monopoly was very appealing in allowing me to gain experience in real estate investments. 2LT Matt Higashi, Wheaton College, Class of 2009

"Johanna and I have other investments. However, after reviewing our investment returns we were surprised at the low percentage of return. Inspired by what I heard and read about Monopoly I, L.L.C., we concluded that for a relatively small investment, the percentage of return is greater with less risk. Additionally, we like the investment philosophy of joining a "family"-many people coming together to accomplish what one person cannot." 1LT Bruce Binger, Aurora University, Class of 2007

“I see Monopoly 1, LLC as a sound investment vehicle. With today’s volatile market that is constantly changing, it’s hard to find a solid investment. M1 offers the stability I’m looking for with great potential for growth.” 2LT Joseph Danza, SUNY Canton College of Technology, Class of 2009

Our investment process:

It takes vision to create great real estate investments. And visionary thinking has been MONOPOLY I, LLC's trademark for more than 6 years. It’s through this thinking we find markets on the verge of upswings and properties with repositioning potential to deliver great returns to our investors. Our dedicated team of industry experts continuously examines the marketplace with one goal in mind: to identify key target areas that show promise to perform at exceptional levels while meeting the company’s goals. We take a number of variables into account when researching different markets with the most critical, of course, being location. Here’s how our process works:

1. We identify our target markets then hit the ground running. We develop a team of local experts to help find and acquire top-notch assets. And, working with local area brokers, management companies, and economists, we scour each market for opportunities in both existing multifamily assets and undeveloped land.

2. Once we identify an attractive property asset, our professional due diligence and financial analyst teams take over. We evaluate every aspect of the property’s existing and potential operations. This includes comprehensive detailed evaluations of financials and rent rolls, analysis of sub-market trends in rental rates and occupancies, and physical inspections of the asset.

3. We develop a working management plan analyzing revenue potential for the asset while considering the optimal timing for future refinance or disposition opportunities. Then, if we like what we see, we issue a non-binding letter of intent to purchase the property.

4. Once the non-binding letter of intent is accepted, we begin our in-depth due diligence process with our in-house experts while the purchase and sale contract is being negotiated. We walk each unit and examine every ‘nook and cranny’ to identify any potential maintenance issues. We audit every renter file to match up the information on record with the rent roll and financials. And, we acquire bids on any capital work that might be required.

5. If needed, we will use the information gathered during the due diligence process to confirm our business plan and make sure that our original assumptions still hold true. Our investors’ interests are always at the forefront of our minds. And, if the deal doesn’t work, we walk away.

6. If we are confident that our offer will deliver the value, we move forward to secure financing and completing the acquisition of the asset.

7. Then we take possession of the property and execute our management plan to add value by drawing on our decades of property management experience to maximize the potential returns to our investment partners.
