    Executive Summary

    A young woman in her 20s was apartment shopping when she felt she had found theperfect two bedroom apartment to share with a friend. The woman took an application from theharried landlord and called her mother on the drive home, excited by her find. Days later, theyoung woman walked through the apartment again with her mother, and with a more practicaleye, had to admit the apartment was too small for two friends to share comfortably. She returnedhome and thought about it, then called the landlord the next day to decline the apartment. Thelandlord requested that the woman return the blank rental application. The woman scheduled anappointment with the landlord to drop off the document. The day of the appointment thelandlord had to cancel, and they re-scheduled. Over the next several days, random emergenciesand responsibilities at the landlords various properties left her unable to meet the woman time

    and again. One evening, as the landlord called to schedule yet another meeting, the youngwomans mother answered. The landlord, exasperated by all the effort and frustration of tryingto do something so simple but not being able to get it accomplished, expressed, I have so muchto do! If only I had someone to do everything for me!

    Business Description

    The Industry

    Real Estate has always been a local phenomenon. The old adage is there are three thingsthat are critically important for real estate, location, location, location! The reasons may bemany; proximity to your work, friends, or family, importance of life style choices, or simplyinvestment potential.

    The city of Chicago has the distinct advantage of having a robust multi-industryeconomy. Whenever one business leaves it always seems that another new business moves in.The local Chicago economy supports millions of employees who live primarily within the citylimits. Having chosen the area they wish to live, the next question becomes one of affordability;

    do they rent or do they purchase? Recent interest rate trends point to increasing numbers ofpeople postponing purchasing and choosing to rent their next property.

    Real estate investors desire both upwards appreciation and steady positive cash flowsfrom their investments. The City of Chicago has offered a modest though consistent 6.5%appreciation on property investments though out the national boom and bust real estate cycles.Additionally, the gentrification of older regions of the city has allowed some of the more astuteor aggressive investors with the opportunity for even higher rates of appreciation.Therefore Chicago is a prime area for conservative, long term investors in real estate.

    The City of Chicago rental properties can be broken down into three primary areas.

    Large multi-tenant buildings and towers with in-house management services. Medium sized buildings with eight or less units with absentee landlord ownership. Small sized buildings with 3 or less units with local landlord provided services.

    The medium sized buildings, with absentee landlords, dominate with 80% of the City ofChicago market. This is the market segment we are choosing to enter.

    Though investing in rental properties can be a healthy, long term investment opportunitythere can be some downsides. The distraction and costs of administering all the details and issuesthat inevitably arise in rental properties can be both tiresome and in some cases overwhelming.Paperwork, phone calls, meetings, and irate tenants are all part of investing in rental properties.

    Property management companies have formed in order to act as intermediaries betweenthe owner/landlords and the renters/tenants. These small companies are usually non-automatedand labor intensive type firms. Consisting primarily of handymen and administrators, their mainservice has been to maintain and repair the rental properties when required. Automation ofbusiness processes was not a primary concern and therefore bookkeeping, accounting, and otherbusiness processes were slow and prone to error.

    6

    In contrast, large full service, property management companies such as Jones, Lang,LaSalle have streamlined and automated business processes for large property owners such asMotorola, Sun Microsystems, and Dell Computers. These large property owners expect and

    demand superior service and quick availability of information from their property managementprofessionals and they get what they demand. Small property owners, however, have had little tochoice in who they might choose as managers for their investment properties. This lack ofcompetition has resulted in slow rent forwarding capabilities, in slow reporting on propertyissues, and in low investment in business processing optimization.

    This creates an opportunity for Cornerstone Property Management to enter into theChicago rental real estate market and expand quickly by offering superior service and superiorinformation processing to an underserved market segment.

    Our Company

    For the discerning, multi-tenant, real estate investor, Cornerstone Property Managementoffers quick, easy, and trustworthy property management services in order to remove thechallenges associated with those investments.

    Cornerstone Property Management will provide full service management of real estateproperties. Our service is to remove all the headaches and problems associated with propertymanagement and thus allow the owners streamlined access to the financial rewards of theirinvestments.

    The market segment we are seeking to enter has for too long been denied a modern, fullservice management company. Most of our competitors do not enjoy a web presence, and if theyhave launched such a presence, it has limited functionality and no actual business processingcapabilities. Cornerstone Property Management will focus on a specific market segment ofabsentee landlords who own property in certain segments of Chicago. Though these owners maybe located anywhere on the planet, they will still be able to quickly ascertain the exact status oftheir investments at any given moment.

    Those challenges to real estate property management are numerous and CornerstoneProperty Management will concentrate on automating most of the mundane paperwork requiredto properly manage the myriad of details required by investors, tenants, tax authorities, and localand federal government regulations. However, automation will gain us only so much, high touch,personal interaction will be required for building and maintaining close personal networks ofAccountants, Lawyers, Service Contractors, Local Officials, and County Clerks. Trust is earned

    not given and we will prove to our property owners that we have the capabilities to provide everyservice required in order to minimize distractions and costs associated with real estateinvestments.

    Cornerstone Property Management will be set up as a limited partnership with our threefounding partners having extensive experience in real estate, finance, and property management.

    manor and facilitate our ability quickly forward those monies to a designated bankaccount by the 10th of every month.The portal will help us create a relationship of worry free, trustworthiness with our clientbase that will be hard to match by our competition.

    service web form.The portal will assist us in lowering our processing time for collections as well asautomating our book keeping functions for further cost reductions. Automating our helpdesk functions will enable faster and less costly tracking of job order status andcompletion times.

    Prospects The public facing side of the portal will be shown to potential clients toillustrate the ease of working with Corner Stone as your property manager.Simulated reports and activities will be shown such a fashion that our sales staff canquickly show the value proposition of working with our firm. Specific key word codingwill enhance our visibility for anyone searching for northern Chicago area property

    management services.Though the primary sales method will be word of mouth and direct contact, to assist insales efforts, an online sales tool will be a necessary but inexpensive method ofpromoting our service. Additionally, placing a presence on the web may generate someinterest in our services.

    Enterprise The portal will collect all the service requests from the tenants and facilitatethe printing of the reports for distribution to the appropriate servicemen to remedy. Statusof those requests will be maintained for follow up if needed. Current status of rentpayments, vacancies, deposits, and other cumulative financial data will be presented in aneasy to view graphical and line item format for reporting functions.

Theautomation of reporting functions and maintaining current investment status dramatically reduces

    the investors worries over problems that may arise. The investors not only receive their rentmonies earlier in the month, they now do not have the worry of tenant or building problemsbeing handled in a less than optimal fashion.

    We want our customers to view us as trustworthy partners who will manage all themultiple demands of the investment properties as if they were their own.

    Pricing

    The industry standard for management services fees are five percent of rent payments.

    We propose to maintain that fee structure and also charge five percent of rent monies.Our additional value proposition for those monies will be in our offering easy tounderstand reports, instant delivery of those reports, and rapid forwarding of rent monies to theclients.

    Our clients are high net worth individuals who are only interested in receiving monieswithout any issues interrupting their cash flows. Lowering our fee structure would only hurt ourbottom line, while raising our service fees may make it difficult for us to acquire new clients.These high net worth clients are accustomed to paying for good service and should view our highlevels of customer service with appreciation. We expect to win over our target client market byoffering much superior service at the same price as our competition. By reducing our businessprocesses costs through automation, we will be able to realize better operating margins as we

    scale up and add additional properties into our management portfolio. Because of our scalabilityand larger operating profits, if competition starts to copy our methods, we will be better able toreduce our fees while maintaining our return on equity.

    The Market

    Customers

    A typical client sought by our company would be a real estate investor with or withoutexperience in building management. A client of ours can own as few as one and as manyproperties as mutually agreed, as long as the number of units per building does not exceed eightunits.

    Our customers can be broadly identified in two categories: first, those who have jumpedinto real estate investment because of self-identified opportunities in gentrifying neighborhoods,and second, longtime, and in many cases, multi-generational, property owners whose propertieshave passed down from parents, to children, and subsequently to grandchildren.

    The former category may be viewed as a high-income wage earner who hopes to ride thehigh appreciation trend in a developing neighborhood. He wants to acquire properties at areasonable cost, economically rehabilitate them, and enjoy the increasing rental rates that suchneighborhoods provide. As he enjoys his success and invests in more buildings, he will typicallyfind himself to be incapable of the maintenance issues at the beginning and those frustrationswill multiply when coupled with rent collection issues and other service expectations by theirtenants. This will be our least challenging customer type to win over of the two types citedabove. They will be cost conscious and that will be a first concern, even given the challenge oftrying to do the handling of their investments themselves. These are generally very successfulpeople who successfully face a number of professional challenges and may have initially thought

    that running buildings could be done on a part-time basis. Once shown the cash flow benefitsthat Cornerstone will provide as far as timely rent collection and that their maintenance issueswill evaporate, this should be a lucrative type of customer for us.

    In the second instance, our marketing territory is rife with multi-family buildings that areowned by second, third, or even fourth generation owners. This will be an entirely different typeof customer: one accustomed to the demands of property ownership. Our opportunity lies withthe large number of such property owners who no longer rely on apartment rentals as their singlesource of income and who find themselves stretched for time to properly attend to their realestate holdings. These customers, though, will be more quality conscious when they decide to dobusiness with us, wanting to protect the family name and their reputation as responsiblelandlords. Also, this type of customer will tend to be more concerned with the upkeep of theirbuildings and we can easily allay their concerns in this area.

    Market Size and Trends

    Currently on the north side of Chicago there are approximately 500,000 multi-unitbuildings with less than 8 units per building. We will develop a strategy to attract the propertyowners who have invested in buildings in addition to their other employment circumstances, buthave not accumulated a large enough number of properties to have their own propertymanagement firms.

    During the past five years mortgage rates have hit historic lows. Unemployment rateshave been down and personal income rose. All of these factors combined contributed to

    increased sales of new and existing homes. Large numbers of people who could not previouslyafford to buy now had a chance to get a mortgage and buy their own home. These events slowedthings down on the rental side of the real estate market. Vacancy rates for residential propertieswere historically high and rents were fairly low for any given market. As interest rates began torise again and an economic slowdown, many people are renting again. This has already inversedvacancy rates and rents in positive direction for the real estate investor.

    Competition

    Indirect Competition

    There are thousands of large real estate property management firms in Chicago. Most ofthem target real estate investors who own larger residential multi-family buildings with morethan 20 units per building and/or commercial properties. The fees that they charge vary between4% and 8% based on location, type and especially size of a given property. Logically, based oneconomies of scale, the higher fees are paid by landlords who own smaller properties. Theselarger firms are not our direct competitors because of the higher fees they charge for smallbuildings.

    Direct Competition

    One of the more established firms in our territory that we will be competing against isKey Management. A ten-year veteran in the industry, they are currently managing about 300properties and, like Cornerstone, have focused on the eight-or-fewer units per building market;Their sales are just under $5,3 million per month, which makes them a major player in this arena.However, staffing issues have caused some properties they manage to not get the attention thatwas promised their customers. It is not clear if Key Management is unwilling to hire additionalstaff in an effort to keep overhead expenses low, or if they feel that the numbers are adequate andare unaware of simmering customer dissatisfaction. Further, they do not maintain a website thatcan function as both a communication portal and as a means to conduct financial transactions. Itis simply an informational site with property locations and office phone numbers provided. Ourinteractive website will impress our prospects and make customers more satisfied with ourproperty management operation.

    A second competitor in the territory, J.P. MacDonald and Sons, has been operating in theRavenswood neighborhood for forty years. This family-run business has long providedmanagement services as well as real estate and insurance services. At one time, it was also theWestern Union office in the neighborhood. Now being managed by the two sons, there is noperpetuation plan in place, no website being maintained and no innovation being entertainedregarding faster collection of rents. They do, however, manage about 100 properties all over theNorth side of the city and so enjoy monthly sales of about $1.7 million. Their main customer isthe second (or third) generation property owner discussed above, a quaint business leftover from

    12

  • 8/9/2019 Cornerstone Property Management Business Plan

    13/34

    the time when neighbors did business with neighbors. This should be a prime opportunity forCornerstone Property Management, by convincing their existing customers of our increasedcapabilities.

    Estimated Sales

    Based on estimates, Cornerstone Property Management will rapidly grow during the firstyear of operations. We project a startup property level of 18 properties (six clients with threeproperties each), and we project an initial growth of 18 additional properties on average everythree months.

    During the second and third years of operations, our growth will slow due to the limits ofour geographical region. We project adding 11 properties per quarter. At the end of year three,our net sales will be $2,825,400 per month. Well collect 5% of that amount in the form ofmanagement fees; therefore, our income before expenses will be (.05 x 2,825,400) $141,270 permonth.

    Development & Production

    Development statusThere are two areas that need to be developed before we can fully deploy the enterprise;we need the information technology and the business network to support our enterprise. Theinformation technology will facilitate our business processes, while the business network isneeded to create the growth needed to sustain our company.

    Before development can begin, we will first need a fully functional office. This includesstaffing as well as physical goods such as computers. We have evaluated several availablesoftware packages but have decided that building our own fully tailored solution to meet ourclients needs would be a stronger long term product. Developing our own software packagewill enable us to create the documentation needed for future training, attain a completeunderstanding of the software system, and easily be able to extend the software to create value

    added services in the future.Our current phase of development is the Prototype Phase.

    Timeline of Events:1 July 1, 2006 Raise capital2 July 5, 2006 Formation of business entity

    3 July 10, 2006 Setup office with equipment, software, and furniture

    4 July 15, 2006 Start development of software system

    5 August 1, 2006 Complete a drafted system (this system will be implemented usingMicrosoft Access and will provide bare bone functionality to evaluateuse cases and our business processes capabilities)

    6 August 3, 2006 Create performance metrics and acceptance criteria

    7 August 5, 2006 Design user interface8 August 7, 2006 Create system architecture, entity-relationship, data-flow, and class

    diagrams.9 August 10, 2006 Divide software development into three modules and find contingencies

    within the modules: presentation, application, and data store10 August 15, 2006 Hire consultants to implement the software solution we have designed

    11 October 15, 2006 Iterative testing and validation of each module in the application

    12 September 15, 2006 Create documentation for training and for future applicationdevelopment

    13 November 15, 2006 Soft launch of the application to run stress tests14 November 17, 2006 Full software launch with kick-off dinner for prospective clients

    Assuming the development goes smoothly we can expect to have development completedwithin 3 months. This is an aggressive time frame, but being well prepared with systemdiagrams and solid requirements criteria, and, assuming few issues concerning other aspects ofthe business, we can successfully meet the 3 month deadline. We understand there are potentialobstacles to meeting our deadline. Internal delays could include scope creep, unplannedchanges, or programming errors. External delays could include challenges with serviceproviders. While these obstacles do have the potential to push our development time line to as

    15

  • 8/9/2019 Cornerstone Property Management Business Plan

    16/34

    much as 6 months, this will not cause a delay the core functionality we will provide. A draftedsystem will be in place, enabling the company to operate while awaiting the completion of theimplementation of the fully automated system.

    Once the information technology support system has been enabled, we can continue toour launch plan. The goal of the launch plan is to build a base of clients to support the business'operations. This phase of the enterprise's growth is its network development and will be anongoing business activity. To build our first set of clients we will draw upon our current contactsin the real estate industry. These contacts will offer the services of Cornerstone PropertyManagement to the landlords which they work with. Current contacts include real estatebrokerages and apartment finders; in time we will garner additional industry contacts and willseek to create strategic relationships with these entities to better support both of our businessesgoals. While we will make full use of our network assets to gain customers, we will also pursuecustomers through targeted marketing efforts; refer to the marketing section for details.

    Service process

    Our service processes are divided into two categories; service to our client (the landlord)and service to their tenants, excluding the initialization process. The moment that our servicesbegin is when we acquire a new client, after that client has agreed to the terms of our service wecan the initialize the clients account. Our first task is to give the client our information packetand walk them through our service structure. This packet will inform the client of our services indetail, our business processes, and other resources they can utilize. After the client feels at homewith our business, we will create their account in our information technology system; this entailscreating the customer's profile, profiles on their properties that we will manage, and finding andlogging the maintenance personnel whom we will call to service their properties. After theclient's account has been created the initialization phase will be complete and we can start ourservice to landlords and their tenants.

    There are five stakeholders in the daily procedures of our business; the landlords, thetenants, the maintenance companies, banks, and apartment finders. To maintain ourresponsibilities to all of the stakeholders, we will have redundant systems for insured businesscontinuity. In order of failure severity these systems are; a cold backup of the application andthe database on a separate server, a semi-automated process using the drafted system, and, lastly,a full manual process. Since we will be launching our business in Chicago we will have to setupour offices there. Geographic location is a major factor in servicing our clients: we must have a

    local presence to the properties that we will be managing for a number of reasons; to monitoractivities, to generate contracts, for emergency issue resolution, and to manage our businesspartnerships with a personal touch.

    TenantsThe services we provide to the landlords and tenants will be the ongoing business

    practices that make up our daily activities. Our interactions with the tenants will include;collecting rent, responding to and resolving any maintenance issues that are reported, and also

    16

  • 8/9/2019 Cornerstone Property Management Business Plan

    17/34

    complete scheduled check-ups. To collect the rent we will give the tenants a number of paymentoptions; they can use automated check withdrawal, credit/debit payment online or via anautomated phone system, and, the option will still exist to pay by check. We can utilize payment

    via third party systems, such as PayPal, if situations arise in which the tenant is not comfortableusing our online payment services, however the tenant will be incur the increased cost of using athird party system. When we have not received a payment from the tenant, automated alerts aresent via email, phone and letter. These alerts are sent to the tenant, our office personnel, and tothe landlord (in the case of extreme delinquency). We will also enable the tenants to reportmaintenance issues through our web portal, as well as through an automated phone system.After the tenant has created the maintenance request, a work order will be created and sent to theproper maintenance company assigned to that property. After we have a confirmed timeframe tocomplete the work order, a notice is sent to the tenant with the maintenance companysinformation and the timeframe for completion. When maintenance personnel have completedthe work order they must contact us and report the issue resolution and give us their bill of work.

    The tenant can prioritize their issue as an emergency issue which will flag the request forimmediate resolution. Properties will also have a 6 month check-up which will follow this sameprocedure, with the exception that we will initialize the process by contacting the tenant aboutthe check-up visit.

    Property Owners/InvestorsOur other area of service is our service to our direct clients, the landlords. Every six

    months we will give the landlord a full report on the condition of their property. This willinclude the results from a health check; a full check-list on the condition of the units, anyrequired building maintenance, as well as recommendations for improvements that would allowthem to charge more rent. This six month report will also capture other areas of their real estate

    investment including financial performance and information on neighborhood developments.Lastly this report will give the landlord a summary of all issues that have occurred with theirproperties. While reports will be disseminated to the landlords on a bi-annual basis, our clientswill be able to login to our web portal at any time and see the current condition of theirproperties, any outstanding maintenance issues, and full historical data, including tenant history,rent payment history, maintenance histories, who found the tenant, and their accountinformation.

    However, our main value to the property owner/investor is the hassle-free maintenanceprovided. When a property owner enlists our services, all day to day operations, scheduledupkeep, and emergency maintenance of properties will be coordinated via our web portal. In this

    way, the investor is relieved of headaches associated with their investment. Our services willenable the property owner to enjoy the benefits of their investment without the worries.

    Labor RequirementsThe labor required for the execution of our development plans will come from internal

    resources as well as a number of external sources which will be contracted. The internalresources will consist of the three initial partners; a marketing partner, a real estate partner, and atechnical partner, as well as two office personnel; an operations manager, and an administrative

    To create the information system which will automate the traditional business processes,we will require services from external sources. We plan to contract two freelance computerprogrammers. Our technical partner will lead the development of the information system bycreating the system diagrams and code structures for the consultants to implement. After allsystems development is finished, hired consultants will no longer be needed. The technicalpartner will assume the responsibility of maintaining the technology system. If, in the future,

    18

  • 8/9/2019 Cornerstone Property Management Business Plan

    19/34

    new features and expansion are needed for the system, Cornerstone Property Management mayagain hire outside consultants to implement code that is designed in house.

    For business beyond the initial development, all partners will continue to monitor thefirm. The only partner who will be actively hands-on in day to day operations will be theOperations Manager. However all partners will be highly utilized only in times of expansion ofthe firm, or in the case of the technical partner, when the system malfunctions or needsmaintenance. All non-automated business processes will be handled by the administrativeassistant and the Operations Manager.

    The administrative assistant should have a minimum of high-school education; theOperations Manager should have a bachelors degree, preferably in Management InformationSystems. The partner and acting Operations Manager is an MBA. When either position is hiredonto the firm in the future, they will need training for use of our web application. The new-hire

    training materials will come from the documentation produced in the development of the system,and from sales/marketing materials. We will also have ongoing training and professionaldevelopment efforts to make our employees industry experts, and to take responsibilities off ofthe partners.

    Capital Requirements

    The cost to setup and develop the software to launch our business will fall into a smallnumber of categories: office expenses, administrative fees, software licenses, and labor hours.All partners in this enterprise will take equal shares of the profit, but will support themselvesuntil the business creates a positive cash flow.

    Financials

    Risks

    A key business driver and therefore a risk to Cornerstone Property is the rental market inChicago. If there is a major downturn in this market there is risk of high vacancies. Chicago hasa strong rental market and our partner in this area is cognizant of the communities and trends inthis market and has an excellent track record of projecting industry trends.

    Our clients depend on us to maintain and manage their properties, so timely and properservice is necessary to protect their investment and maintain their trust in us. Our partner inoperations management has built the relationships with a wide network of vendors and extensive

    knowledge about building maintenance.

    System failure is a risk that can cause operational issues and cash flow concerns. Iftenants are unable to pay rents via the web portal for any length of time, cash flows impactscould be substantial. Redundant systems and contingency plans are in place to mitigate this risk.
