ESI is very excited to start participating in the Dilapidated and 657A Housing programs. This proposal represents our first pass at complying with the requirements of the Dilapidated Housing program. We look forward to your input and mentoring us through the first project so that all goes smooth. If we can successfully meet both your goals and ours on this project, it is our intention to continue more aggressively with ongoing new home infill development and existing home rehabilitation. Ultimately it is our goal to produce these homes using the very successful factory modular construction systems already in use, similar to "All American" in Dyersville, IA. Our intention though, is to set up manufacturing right here in Waterloo to supply homes for the vacant lots. This approach will greatly reduce shipping costs and provide up to 20 new jobs in the community. ESI already has plans prepared to put (5) five new homes on your vacant lots in and around Elm and Fowler Streets as identified in this graphic below. Before we invest the time and resources in our big picture, we intend to do one rehabilitation home and one new home in 2013 to test the market. We hope that this proposal for 1640 Cherry Hills Rd. will be accepted. Acceptance will allow us to start on our first rehabilitation project in September. In parallel with this project we hope to do one new home.

We look forward to your comments and input. SITE LOCATION: 1640 Cherry Hills Dr. Waterloo, IA. Project Location in North West Waterloo near the Airport. Gates c ark Golf Curse Page SURROUNDING COMMUNITY: The neighborhood surrounding the property is primarily ranch type single family dwellings. They are in good repair and the neighborhood offers a quite setting as can be seen by the photo below: ► 1640 Cherry Hills on the other -hand is the eyesore o▪ r of the area. It has two enormous trees in front that block the building. The property has been empty for many years according to the adjacent neighbor to the west. P. SITE FEATURES: 0 ► Observations: CON'S • Single family dwelling • Detached garage with fire damage • Small frontage yard covered by trees so that no grass grows • Small back yard with a dilapidated in ground swimming pool • Interior has not been noticeably damaged by the many years of vacancy. 1. This site presents some very complicated scenarios with the two trees that are out of context with the neighborhood and the lot. These trees may need to be removed or at least greatly modified to work with the building. 2. The roofs of both buildings are beyond repair and will need replacement. 3. The interior is damaged due to vandalism and the home is still a storage site for the former habitants. 4. Gutters are falling and siding windows are broken. 5. Swimming pools are actually not an asset in selling property so this will have to be removed. Observations: PRO'S 1. Nice neighborhood. 2. Home can be rehabilitated since there is no major structural damage or issues. 3. Home apparently has stayed dry. 4. A two car garage is a positive.

Otto and Kim MacLin Dear Sirs: For over ten years I have represented the MacLins and their various LLC's in the purchase of several single family and multi -family properties in Waterloo. They are probably handling about 80 units at this time. Most of the properties that they have purchased have been in neighborhoods with poorly maintained and badly managed homes, with low rents and high vacancy rates resulting. These circumstances provided an opportunity for good stewards of investment real estate with a goal to transform neighborhoods by improving the structures and selecting tenants with behaviors consistent with that goal to succeed. The MacLins have done so. Gresham's Law ( bad money drives out good) applies equally well in this context of declining neighborhoods. It takes more time, planning, and focus to evolve and improve the quality of life and the property condition...and the crime rate....and the tax base.... , than it did to devolve. The MacLins are methodically driving out the 'bad', and are positively transforming properties, neighborhoods, and the living conditions of their tenants. Please feel free to contact me if I may be of help. en D. K *tpp Managing Broker LOCKARD REALTY CO. DEVELOPMENT • CONSTRUCTION • REALTY Proposal Bid for Development from Kim & Otto MacLin 1640 Cherry Hills Drive We are residents of Waterloo and appreciate the opportunity to possibly participate in the improvement of this distressed property. We are all about improving neighborhoods via the quality rehabilitation of homes a have strong reputation in the community of doing so (see attached letters). We have a good track record of fixing up distressed properties into clean living space properties. For example in 2012, we obtained 4 properties that were foreclosed with MidWestOne bank. These were multiplexes with a total 9 individual units. All were vacant and un-inhabitable with the exception of one unit. On a fairly rigorous deadline we were able to turn the properties in clean habitable units with quality craftsmanship and quality materials. Another example is the distressed property located at 1926 E 4th street. We purchased the property early this year and had it ready for rent within 4 months. It is currently rented. Bottom line we have a history of rescuing distressed properties and transforming them into respectable properties within the neighborhood and community. We understand the need to fix the Cherry Hills property up in a timely manner while keeping an eye on aesthetic detail, quality materials, and quality craftsmanship. The property will also be developed as an owner occupied dwelling, which is slightly different from developing for a rental. As such we present a more conservative timeline with development beginning immediately and concluding in approximately 6 months. We are aware that lack of financing can slow a project, a letter from our banker Jesse Gleason at MidWestOne will also attest to the fact that we not only have the history of fixing up distressed properties, but in attest to the fact that we have the financial resources to do so. We have provided the proposal check list below with our notations under each item. Also included is a narrative of the current condition, as well as a narrative regarding our development plan. Sample photos of area properties are provided as examples of improvements we intend for this property. Proposal check list • Submitted in narrative form • Accompanied with legible drawings (we have provided sample photos) • Offer to bid form (included) • Must address each listed item o 1. Proposed use • "Sale to potential home owner" • The property will be developed as a single family home for the purpose of sale to potential homeowner. We have a strong relationship with a local lending institution (see letter attached Jesse Gleason); this institution will work with us and the new homeowners to acquire financing if possible. We are also in the position to secure 'in house financing' and overall are in the financial position to carry this project to completion. Additionally we have a close working relationship with a local real estate broker who can advise us at every step how to develop the property with regards to a future home owner (see attached letter Steve Knapp). o 2. Site development • Aesthetic treatment of rehabilitation extremely important • We will keep a strong eye towards aesthetic rehabilitation. The neighborhood has many houses of similar construction and lot size. There are many examples of aesthetically pleasing home improvements locally. For example, homeowners Bryon and Aimee Irvine located next door at 1634 Cherry Hills Drive have done a nice job with the flower beds in their front yard. Across the street at 1635 Cherry Hills Drive Harold and Penny Graves have also done a nice job with the landscaping around the front of the house and with the treatment of brick rings around the established trees in the front yard. The neighbor to the West, Sheryl Wilshusen has many examples of back yard treatments. She also has an attractive bay window in front of her house that we may adopt. • Our understanding is for a house to be offered on the market it must have good curb appeal. The house will be painted or sided with good quality materials, all windows will be replaced and features such as window shutters will be painted similar to other houses on the block such as 1635 Cherry Hills. High quality entry doors and storm doors with quality hardware will be installed. These are not only important for curb appeal, but for the overall look of the neighborhood. • Repairs to the driveway and garage will be done to improve their aesthetic appeal. The garage will be restored to its original function which will include a new roof and new doors. • The pool in the back yard will be removed and appropriately filled in. The concrete apron and diving board will be removed. A free standing deck similar to the one found at 1680 Woodmayr will be constructed in its place along with a surrounding flower bed. A concrete pad will be constructed to accommodate a back yard BBQ. The remaining land will be reseeded and new trees will be planted. • Detailed landscaping plan o Attention to detail is important. Landscaping will be done with an aesthetic eye to include what it will look like all seasons. Trees in the front of the property will immediately be professionally pruned with the possibility of replacing one or both with younger trees consistent with other types of trees in the neighborhood. Brick borders around the trees similar to 1635 Cherry Hill will be constructed and planted with hostas. A flower bed will be constructed around the front and sides of the house to be planted with perennial plants, bulbs and flowers. o The backyard landscape (once pool is removed) will have a free standing deck large enough to accommodate a comfortable patio set and will be surrounded by a small garden bed. Existing metal basement window encasements will be replace with modern plastic encasements adding additional curb appeal. o To the west of the garage, the small area to the left will be planted with small shrubs (possibly yews) and a garden walkway will be added for access. o To the east of the garage a row of shrubs and ornamental grasses between the driveway and back yard will be added. A small concrete pad will be constructed between the driveway and the new deck (in the area where the pool pump was once located) as a designated backyard BBQ area. o Additionally, a raised garden bed will be constructed towards the back (north) of the yard in an area with sufficient light. The benefit of a raised garden is that as our populations age, these are much easier to tend to. At the base of the existing side (east) and back (north) fences hosta and ornamental grass beds will be constructed. • All properties will be rehabilitated as single family home. The property is being developed with the mind set of adding quality to the house and keeping it at an affordable price for resale. o The neighborhood where Cherry Hills is located has many quality owner occupied homes to use as models in our development process. Development will maintain the property as a single family home, bringing it up to the quality of the better homes in the neighborhood. Our rehabilitation cost plan will allow for it to be sold at a comparable price as other nicer homes in the area currently listed. o While we typically rehabilitate homes for rental purposes, our plan for this property is to sell it so that it can return to single family home ownership which we believe is the best use and to the best benefit of the local community. • Detailed construction plan must be submitted with proposal o See below • Materials must be of good quality and in visual appearance match existing woodwork throughout the house • We are Contractor members at Menards; have a designated contractor representative who secures excellent pricing and materials for us, and manages delivery of materials on site. Molding, doors, windows, window trim, etc will be replaced as necessary, consistent with similar construction in the neighborhood. We are firm believers in using high quality materials for long term durability, appearance, and live ability. o 3. Financial Capacity • Financial ability to timely commence and complete project • Bank letter provided • Must submit 10k or bond for 10k • Will be provided upon bid acceptance • Submit certified check for 1k • Included with this proposal o 4. Proiect team • Provided on bid form • Kim and Otto MacLin owners Anacapa Associates LLC. • See bank letter • We have successfully rehabilitated several properties in Waterloo and returned them to their intended use (single family home, or multi unit). o 5. Timetable ■ Must commence construction within 3 months • If bid is successful construction can begin immediately. Depending on how close we are to winter, we can either begin interior construction or exterior construction. Nonetheless we can begin immediately. • Of primary concern when starting a project is determining the condition of the heating system, water lines, and electrical. All of which are important and necessary for beginning the development program. • Weather permitting, exterior work (landscaping & dirt work related to pool) can be done in conjunction with the interior work. Roofing will be done in the Spring. • Weather permitting, the pool liner and the pool apron will be removed before winter. The remaining hole will be filled by excavation professionals to ensure proper consistency, grade, and top soil layer. This should take no longer than a week start to finish depending on availability of crew. At the same time a tree trimming expert will address issues with the trees on the property. This should take no longer than two days. • Garden beds, decking and other landscaping should wait until Spring 2014. • Garage will be stabilized as soon as possible with any structural issues addressed and a working automatic opening door installed as soon as possible so as to have an adequate area to receive and store materials during the construction period. Garage roof and other garage issues can wait until Spring 2014. Since equipment will be used to address pool issues in back yard, driveway improvement will be addressed after Spring 2014 and near completion of the project. • Entry doors and vinyl windows will immediately be placed on order if and when notified of successful project bid. Quality entry doors and quality hardware should be in stock at the local home improvement stores and installed as soon as delivered. Some window sizes may be in stock, however it is our experience that non stock sizes can take up to a month to order. Nonetheless, all windows will be installed as soon as available and can be done regardless of the cold temperatures winter can bring. • Note — there is a finished room in the basement. We have no idea of its condition so a decision on this space has not yet been made. While not committing to anything at the moment, ideas such as adding an egress or additional bathroom will be explored, however we are not committing to these in the current proposal (we are aware that the bathroom in these houses are a bit small to serve a three bedroom house and it would be a selling point to have an additional bathroom in the basement). ■ Construction time line: • Within the first few days: o Utilities will be transferred to developers' account. o Property will be secured and set to master key system. o Plumbing will be checked for leaks and potential damage. o Forced air heating and water heater will be inspected for usefulness. If operable, they will be used as is during the construction period. If not they will be replaced as soon as possible. • Within the first month: o Personal property and debris will be removed to landfill. Carpets and flooring will be removed and taken to landfill. o Initial cleaning will be completed. o Hole in walls will be repaired. If the walls are textured, repairs will match the existing texturing and consistency. o Vinyl windows will be measured and ordered. Entry doors will be ordered. Interior doors and molding will be ordered. o Basement will be inspected for water damage or related problems. • Within the second month or sooner: o Any damaged interior doors will be replaced with quality doors of similar appearance and construction as the existing doors. If necessary, all doors will be replaced for aesthetic consistency. This should not be a problem since there likely are only 5 doors upstairs. A similar strategy will be applied to closet doors in living room, and bedrooms. Door trim and hardware will be matched for aesthetic consistency with quality materials. o Depending on the condition of existing insulation, celluloid insulation will be added to the attic crawl space and possibly to the exterior walls. • Within the third month or sooner: o Ceilings in the three bedrooms, bathroom, hallway, kitchen, and living room will be painted with quality ceiling paint. Light fixtures will be replaced with quality modern fixtures if necessary. Light switches and outlets will be replaced if necessary. o Bedroom and hallway walls will be primed and painted with quality semi -gloss interior paint. o Trim will be stained or painted as necessary. o Basement walls will be treated as necessary and painted. • Within the fourth month or sooner: o Construction on the bathroom and kitchen will begin. In the bathroom the existing tub will be tiled, enclosed for showering, and fitted with handicap railing. The toilet will be replaced with modern water saving toilet of good quality. A new vanity will be installed with modern fixtures along with modern paper and towel racks and medicine cabinet. Quality modern light fixtures will also be added. o Construction in the kitchen will begin. Depending on the condition and usefulness of the existing kitchen cabinets and counters, these may be replaced with new oak cabinets and a ceramic tile counter top. The sink will be replaced with a modern sink and fixtures of good quality. A quality garbage disposal may be plumbed into the sink depending on electrical access. • Within the fifth month or sooner: o Flooring throughout the house will be installed o Window treatments such as horizontal mini blinds will be installed o New efficient heating and air conditioning may be installed if needed • Within in the sixth month or sooner: o New refrigerator, stove, washer, and dryer will be installed. o Final cleaning of the property will take place • In the spring, when weather permits: o Exterior painting/siding will be addressed o A new roof, fascia, soffit, gutters and down spouts will be added to house and garage. o Garden beds and gardens will be constructed and planted. o New fencing o Freestanding deck and BBQ area will be constructed. o Lawn will be seeded o Driveway will be replaced where needed (not gravel). o New addressing and exterior porch lighting will be completed. • Completed within 6 months from date of possession o Bid price • Minimum 5k • We are offering $7,000 o Notes - A site plan including: • Landscaping (provided) • Perspective complete list of intended construction and improvements must be included with narrative proposal (provided) • Mechanicals (provided) Narrative: Current Condition: The house is located in an area populated mostly with single family home owners. (Checked online to see if addresses match). Overall the house is in poor condition and the garage is highly distressed. The property has poor curb appeal. There are two large trees in front that are overgrown blocking the front of the house. One of the trees has grown onto the roof of the house and may be damaging the roof and gutter system. The front of the house appears to be aluminum siding that is partially painted. The aluminum windows are in poor conditioned as are the storm windows — many which are broken and boarded up. The living room is currently being used to support a large A/C window unit. The windows have attached shutters which have the potential to increase curb appeal given proper painting. Due to the sheer size of the trees in front of the house, the lawn has been shaded and only grows in small patches. The front entry door and screen door appear to not be operable. They are currently nailed shut. The front steps are prefabricated concrete steps with no railing. The driveway is concrete and over grown with grass and weeds. Some sections of the driveway are cracked and uneven. The rear entry door is in poor shape and has no storm door. The side entry steps are prefabricated with no railing. Back of house is in similar condition to the front. The back gutter has fallen and is located on the ground indicating probable fascia damage. House has at least 2 layers of shingles and needs to be replaced. Visual inspection of the garage from the front and two sides (back is not visible without gaining access through back fence) indicates the garage is in poor condition. The garage requires a new roof, soffit and fascia etc., new automatic garage door, new entry door, and has some siding issues. There are also trees growing too close to the garage possibly damaging the siding. Garage is full of debris and personal belongings. Backyard is dominated with a vinyl in -ground pool with trees growing from the deep end. There is a wide concrete apron surround the pool along with a diving board. All were installed in 1974 and have outlived their useful life. Additionally there is an area where the pool pump/heater was located. The back fence is wood possibly cedar and is bowing in places. It is not clear if the fence belongs to the property or to the neighboring properties. A poorly constructed chain link fence prevents physical access to the back yard. Existing back yard landscaping is in poor condition. Visual inspection of the inside of the house was obtained through vantage points from the front windows into the bathroom (and hallway) and into the living room. Additional visual inspection was gained through the gaps in a board blocking the back entry door. No inspection was made of bedrooms or basement. It is presumed that mechanicals are in basement. What can be seen is that the interior is dated and in poor repair. Several walls have holes punched in them and the flooring appears to be beyond its useful life. Rooms are cluttered with debris and personal belongings. It is assumed that the rooms not inspected are in similar condition. Narrative: Development Plan: The home, while seriously distressed, as noted by the City, appears to be sound enough for rehabilitation. We have the experience, resources (skills, financial) and dedication to complete this task. The neighborhood will benefit from the house being improved to the level of the nicer homes in the area. A vacant home (or a vacant lot after being torn down), would be a serious detriment to the area community. Further, it is our belief, that this property (and the neighborhood) is best served as an owner occupied dwelling, and not a rental unit. When completed (if by us), this house will be an attractive, safe, and comfortable home for a family looking for quiet residential life. Details are provided elsewhere in this document. In general though: Upon acceptance of the bid and appropriate transfer of ownership to us we will immediately transfer utility services into our name, rekey the property to our master system, secure the property as necessary, and determine functionality of electrical and plumbing systems. Necessary repairs to the electrical and plumbing systems will be done in order to have necessary utilities to start the project. (Replacement of heating system, or installation of central air will be done later, or as needed.) All debris and personal property from the home and garage will be removed, along with carpets, inoperable appliances (if any), and other materials. An initial cleaning will be done to remove allergens, provide clean surfaces and, overall a clean place to work. At this point, our development plan (as outlined in detail above) will be evaluated against the reality of the condition of the house. Modifications to the plan will be made at that time as necessary. At this point, the necessary supplies will be ordered/purchased (replacement windows, exterior and interior doors, flooring, cabinetry, hardware, fixtures). Repair/replacement of walls, ceilings, flooring, and trim will commence. Preparing, primering, and painting will occur as repairs are completed. Flooring will be installed. Fixtures and hardware installed. Appliances will be ordered, delivered, and installed. Window treatments purchased and installed. A final, deep cleaning, will be done to rid the dust and dirt due to construction. Exterior work will be conducted dependent on weather, and as concurrent with interior work as possible. Exterior work will include (details provided elsewhere in this document): restoration of the backyard (removal of pool, diving board, concrete, pump system; construction of free standing deck, flower, and garden beds, and BBQ area; plantings and reseeding of lawn). Structural repair as necessary of garage, gutter systems; new roofs for garage and house, painting/replacing siding as necessary. Restoration of front yard (tree pruning/replacement as necessary, tree ring beds, front flower beds, plantings and reseeding of lawn, new addressing, new exterior porch lighting, stair railing). Repair/replace driveway as needed.
