At F Street Development we are focused on value-add acquisitions and developments to undertake only those that provide superior returns.

INVESTMENT PROCESS

• Identify high quality locations with strong fundamentals.• Leverage relationships to source excellent opportunities.• Conservatively underwrite the investment opportunity to ensure superior investment returns

are achievable.• Carefully select which investment opportunities have the most potential or the ability to enhance

value for our investors.• Develop business plan to ensure we maximize the potential for each project we undertake.

ACTIVE MANAGEMENT

• Obtain superior results by co-managing the assets we own.• Maximize net operating income by enhancing rental income and controlling expenses.• Leverage F Street Group’s infrastructure and internal resources to execute on its business plan.• Understand market conditions to effectively evaluate opportunities to sell or refinance assets in

our porfolio.

WHAT IS OUR OPPORTUNITY?

• Individual investors target $1-$5m acquisitions • Institutional investors target $50-$100m acquisitions• Our opportunity- Operate in the middle. Acquire stabilized assets or value-add opportunities across

sectors in commercial real estate between $5-$50M or develop multi family, retail, or mixed use assets where there is a compelling opportunity

• What are the benefits targeting this price range? Inefficient markets, higher yields, finding unique opportunities, geographic and asset diversification.

WHAT IS OUR INVESTMENT APPROACH?

Page 6: INVESTING WITH F STREET DEVELOPMENT

OFFICE • We understand the importance of creating innovative office space and how this facilitates

collaboration and excellent work environments across Milwaukee and Southeastern Wisconsin.• We develop amenity packages that provide talent with what they need to thrive in the work place,

including building beautiful and functional office space, fitness centers, expansive lounge areas. MULTI-FAMILY • We acquire, rehab, and develop high quality residential units in Milwaukee, Southeastern Wisconsin

and beyond.• We understand what tenants desire and create living environments to meet their needs. INDUSTRIAL • We acquire industrial assets in Milwaukee, Southeastern Wisconsin and beyond.• We identify value-add opportunities and understand how to attract quality tenants in order to stabilize

properties and generate returns for our investors. Sale Lease Back • We will work with companies who own their own real estate, which may be a non-producing or

“dead” asset that is sitting on their balance sheet.• Entering into a sale-leaseback transaction helps the company recapitalize its balance sheet, by

providing a cash infusion, which they can use to focus on their core business. This ultimately helps the companies (our partners) be more successful.

• Our focus and expertise is real estate and we understand that the company’s focus is their respective business; this sale-leaseback transaction perfectly helps align these two objectives and allows both parties to more efficiently focus and achieve their respective goals.

MIXED-USE • Investment in real estate that blends asset classes, such as an apartment building with a retail

component, or an office project with a retail or entertainment component.

CONCLUSION

WOULD YOU RATHER?

Have your principle investment returned (with no possible appreciation) and annual coupon payments (Bond Example)...

OR

Have higher annual cash flow (Preferred Return and 50% of Cash Flow), plus 50% equity in the asset?

THE ANSWER IS CLEAR:

Assuming the asset does not appreciate in value and holds its value of the original purchase price of $4,000,000, the investor owns 50% or $2,000,000 (assuming mortgage debt is paid in full), which is approximately $1,000,000 greater based on a conservative estimate.

DEAL SYNDICATION REAL ESTATE OPPORTUNITY

ADVANTAGES OF INVESTING ON A DEAL-BY-DEAL BASIS

• We’re never forced to put money to work. We can be selective and only acquire deals that we think offer attractive risk-adjusted returns.

• We maintain full control, which provides flexibility in hold periods. We can choose to exit an investment at a time that maximizes investment returns as opposed to the end of the fund life.

• We target mid-sized deals and bring an institutional approach to the sub-institutional space. We generate outsized returns by targeting deals between $3M and $25M.

Our structure positions us to acquire unique deals at an attractive basis while delivering superior returns to our investors.

Consistent returns and high integrity business practices have allowed us to build trust with our investors, and therefore raise capital very quickly when we uncover an interesting opportunity.

WHAT IS A TIC?

TENANT IN COMMON - a specific type of concurrent, or simultaneous, undivided interest/ ownership of real property by two or more parties.

A TIC is a way for two (or more) people or entities to jointly purchase real estate and take title to that property/asset, with no right of survivorship (goes to TIC owner’s heirs or whatever beneficiary that the TIC owner determines).

WHAT IS A RIGHT OF SURVIVORSHIP?

If one owner dies, its share is divided up equally among the other owners instead of going to heirs. In a TIC structure, this does not happen.

SINGLE-FAMILY ASSET REAL ESTATE OPPORTUNITY

AN ENDLESS BULL MARKET?

As the stock market has been on a 10-year+ bull run, locking in unrealized gains and diversifying away from the public market by investing in private real estate investments is prudent.

Vested in the JV/Single Family Asset Entity with eash LLC owning 50% of the asset.

Option 2: Vested in a TIC Structure with F Street Development LLC and “Family LLC” each as a 50% TIC owner of the asset.

Title is vested in individual TIC owners.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF A TIC?

• Provides more flexibility to you (the investor)• As tenants in common (TIC), the property is owned in accordance with equity ownership. For this

reason, Family LLC and F Street Development LLC may not claim ownership to a specific part of the property.

• Easier for TIC owner to sell its share to anyone.

WHAT IS THE OPPORTUNITY?

• Partner with F Street Development LLC to buy a single asset or build a portfolio of real estate as-sets to achieve two objections:1. Generate passive income2. Build wealth by owning legacy real estate in desirable locations

F STREET DEVELOPMENT FUND I

Prior to launching Fund 1, F Street Development has engaged in deal syndications for each asset acquired in its portfolio. High net-worth individuals typically invested $100,000-$1,000,000 of equity per transaction.

WHY THE SHIFT?

As our company grows, our capital needs grow. With increasing deal flow and opportunities, capital must be aligned to meet our investment needs as we continually source investments that meet our investment criteria. The fund approach provides us with more efficient means to place capital to continue allowing us to do what we always to-generate returns for our investors.

WHAT IS THE OPPORTUNITY / STRATEGY?

1. To identify off-market deals by working closely with trusted advisors/brokers which present opportunities due to operator inefficiencies at the property level, allowing F Street Development to step in and run operations more seamlessly.

2. Develop a business plan to optimize Net Operating Income by increasing rental income while simultaneously controlling expenses.

3. Self-manage the assets to keep a keen pulse on the asset and execute on the business plan.

Our Opportunity• Individual investors target $1-$5M acquisitions• Institutional investors target $50-$100M acquisitions• Operate in the middle. Acquire stabilized assets or value-add opportunities across sectors in

commercial real estate between $5-$50M or develop multi-family, office or industrial assets where there is a compelling opportunity

FUND DETAILS

• A diversified portfolio of real estate assets, by geography, asset type, and asset class• Industrial and Multi-family stabilized and value-add acquisitions• Target Leverage per transaction: 50-60% leverage • No Claw Back & No Capital Call Provisions

ENTRUST INVESTMENT OPTION

PARTNERING SELF-DIRECTED IRA FUNDS

This is a separate entity that can conduct business with other entities or individuals.

Your IRA will own a percentage of the property and must be stated on the title when the transaction is recorded (unless IRA is a member of an LLC that holds title)

All income and expenses (on a proportionate basis) from the property flow in and out of your IRA and not your personal finances.

• If the property is sold, your IRA receives the portion of the proceeds proportionate to the amount of ownership the IRA has in the deal.

WHY INVEST A PORTION OF YOUR RETIREMENT IN REAL ESTATE?

Million of Americans have historically contributed money in retirement accounts that were fully invested in stocks, inherently having great exposure to the public markets. As long as the market is performing well when individuals retire, and they wish to pull out money, there is little concern with this approach to making investment decisions in your retirement account. However, due to the cyclical nature of the economy and public markets, this is not always the case.

Many individuals contributed large sums of money each year over the course of their careers with the intention of having a large nest egg at their retirement. However, when they were ready to begin taking distributions at retirement age, the market was in a downturn and they were left with few assets relative to the amount of money contributed.

Investing directly in real estate assets with F Street Development LLC through your Entrust self- directed IRA provides investors with great diversification benefits and reduces the risk highlighted above. While it may be prudent to continue to invest a portion of your IRA funds in stocks and bonds, it is wise to allocate a certain percentage of your 401k/IRA money and invest directly in real estate assets. Your retirement account portfolio should not be exclusively invested in one asset group no different than your personal investments. Diversification is key.

ENTRUST INVESTMENT OPTION

INTRODUCTION TO ENTRUST

As several of our investors have started investing with us using their retirement (401k and/or IRA) accounts by setting up a self-directed IRA with a custodian, Entrust, please see the outline below offering you another method to invest in F Street Development LLC’s real estate acquisitions and development projects.

WHAT IS ENTRUST?

Entrust is a custodian, just like Fidelity, Schwab, Vangard, etc., however allows you to use your IRA and 401K retirement funds to invest in non-traditional assets, including directly investing in real estate (does not limit investments to public investments in stocks and bonds). A self-directed IRA is considered a separate entity that can conduct business/invest with F Street Development.

ABOUT THE ENTRUST GROUP

For over 35 years, The Entrust Group has provided account administration services for self-directed retirement plans and has been an acknowledged authority in the field. With locations throughout the US, Entrust’s team of professionals are regularly examined to ensure compliance with current state and federal banking requirements, and keep up-to-date by participating in ongoing educational programs to ensure that they share the most accurate information with clients.

WHAT IS A SELF-DIRECTED IRA?

A self-directed IRA is an individual retirement account that gives you complete control over your investment choices. Unlike other IRAs, you’re not limited to stocks, bonds, or mutual funds.

This means you can take advantage of investing in alternative assets - such as real estate, limited partnerships, and gold - with your self-directed retirement account.

With Entrust as the administrator of your self-directed retirement account, you have the power to take an active role in your retirement planning.
