2 IMMIN•ME•MM••••••••MMEM•Mil••••••••••••••••MM••••• A Buyer s Market he residential property market in Michigan presents a rare investment opportunity: high yields combined with excellent prospects for capital growth. Each of our properties in Michigan offers a minimum 12% guaranteed net rental income for two years and exposure to a housing market that is starting to rise from post-crisis lows. We prioritise high income over longer-term capital growth because the former is within our control, while macro-economic trends have been especially hard to predict in recent years. Location is key: we only operate in prosperous, economically viable neighbourhoods. After targeting an area we then search on a street-by-street basis, before selecting the outstanding individual properties. This ensures our homes are desirable to potential tenants, as well as representing great value for investors. We make sure our districts are in relative proximity to the city of Detroit, benefiting from the city's job market and infrastructure links, without being economically dependent on the city's fortunes. The Auto industry is a major employer in the area, with Ford, GM and Chrysler headquartered in Greater Detroit. All three recently reported strong results, gaining combined market share for the first time in 20 years. Federal and private investment in Detroit has also helped re-generate the Downtown area, attracting a number of smaller businesses. The Technology and Medical sectors are growing particularly quickly, as the city continues to diversify its economy. From a cultural point of view, Michigan has abundant resources: well-established universities, sports teams and museums. The University of Michigan at Ann Arbor ranks in the top 20 of universities worldwide, attracting young, educated people to live and work in the local area. 1970 1960 1990 2000 Sawa: US Olefin Swim 2010 The Metro Detroit Area etroit city is only one component of Metro Detroit (3,888 square miles), which is comprised of six counties- Lapeer, Livingston, Macomb, Oakland, St. Clair and Wayne. Time was when the fortunes of Metro Detroit were tied to those of the city. This is no longer true; many of the satellite municipalities have established independent economies and now represent a greater proportion of the Metro area's wealth than Detroit city. This is expressed statistically in the graph below • METRO DETROIT • WAYNE COUNTY • DETROIT on While the population of Detroit city has declined, this rate of decline does not correlate with that of Greater Detroit as a whole. In fact, if we omit the population decline from Detroit city from the results then Metro Detroit's population would have actually increased by 24% over the given period. This increase is a combination of people moving from Detroit city to suburban districts and a significant number of people moving from other parts of the country, attracted to job opportunities in Metro Detroit's emergent communities. The census figures show that adults between 18 and 64 account for a healthy 63% of the Oakland, Macomb and Wayne population (the suburban areas of Metro Detroit). • rb ■ I- U p I r rb • • • • ■ p L • • • • • • • • • • • • U CC D Lj (-no 0 u_ WARREN Macomb County Warren (pop. 134,000) lies on the Clinton River about 7 miles (10 km) from the Lake St Clair shores which provides the mainly catholic population with parks, golf courses and water-borne leisure activities. The city is home to the General Motors Technical Centre, Chrysler, Campbell Ewald (part of a worldwide group of marketing and advertising agencies) and the US army s arsenal 3 EFTA_R1_02109426 EFTA02708342
EASTPOINTE Macomb County Eastpointe (pop. 32,442) is famous for its summer festivals and winter events, many centred on the John F Kennedy Memorial Park. It boasts the best fresh water boating in the area. Its neighbours are the Fashionable Grosse Pointe and St Clair shores. Lake St Clair is just 5 miles (8Km) to the east. It is proud of its educational facilities that stretch from pre-school through to adult colleges. Commercially, it is more of a resort than a city. Pockets of opportunity T he statistics paint with a broad brush; some places have fared better than others; properties in some areas are on the way to recovery, others are not. We have researched the areas where the pockets of opportunity still exist: Warren, Southfield, Eastpointe, Redford, North Rosedale, Bagley, Sherwood and University City (see map). We are also watching other promising communities. Our search for suitable property is guided by the following: • The houses are brick built, detached and in good condition • The properties have potential for capital growth • The ratio of rental income to purchase price is unusually high • There is a sustained demand for rental property • There is a good and improving infrastructure of educational, social, health and transport facilities • There is an expanding commercial/ industrial environment offering well-paid jobs. This map shows areas where these criteria can be met.

Below 540,000, the properties are expensive in relation to the cost of refurbishment and stability of tenancy. The average optimum yield on properties worth between $45,000 to 565.000 is between 14-15% sometimes more. EFTA_R1_02109427 EFTA02708343
Quality Assurance w hen we find a suitable property, we seize the opportunity to buy, make whatever reparations are necessary and let it to people of good standing. This is your assurance of value and our commitment. We sell the house tenanted, in good condition and fully refurbished at a price that provides the buyer with a first class investment. We will also continue to look after your interests during the whole period of ownership and will even help you with an exit strategy when required. The Investment Process C larity and transparency are the hallmarks of our business. We will answer your questions with candour and make arrangements for you to visit the properties if you wish. The investment process is divided as follows: PRE-PURCHASE PROPOSAL: We suggest a portfolio of properties that approximate in value your intended investment. We encourage you to consider this carefully. RESERVATION: If you are satisfied, you complete a Reservation Form (see pocket inside the back page). AGREEMENT: Within a few days of your reservation, you will be sent a standard US Purchase Agreement form. SCHEDULE AND TRANSFER OF FUNDS: Your US attorney or Title Company will send you a scheduled date for the completion of each property in your portfolio known as Closing Dates. These documents must be signed and returned to the attorney or the Title Company in the USA as soon as possible. The total amount of your funds must clear before the earliest closing date. Note that penalty charges may be incurred for late clearance. POST-PURCHASE CONTRACT: Once the funds have cleared, we will assign ownership of the properties to you. The attorney will record the deeds with the city's administrative offices and a copy of the deeds sent to you for safekeeping. APPOINTMENTS: After purchase, Real Time Investments will, on your behalf, undertake: • Instruction of a Property Management company • The appointment of a Portfolio Manager The appointment of Power of Attorney for building insurance purposes Accountancy services as required. Your post-purchase pack will contain full details of the above and other essential information. COLLECTION OF RENT: The rent will be collected on a monthly basis and the net amount (see page 10) distributed monthly or quarterly. INE•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••MIPIPIEM•O•Ernll•EM•01•ME•E••••••••••••••••••••1 NORTH ROSEDALE Wayne County North Rosedale (pop. 3,380) is part of the Rosedale Park Historic District, a tree-laden neighbourhood of great charm. It is noted for the Englishness of its architectural styles and street names. The quality of house building together with its strong community spirit made it impervious to the troubled times experienced by some of Detroit s southern suburbs. Apart from good shops and local offices, North Rosedale is a mature, safe, residential area. EFTA_R1_02109428 EFTA02708344
SOUTHFIELD Oakland County Southfield (pop. 71,739) is principally an upmarket business area whose daytime population soars to 175,000. It is visually expressed by the Golden Triangle", a cluster of five contemporary golden skyscrapers providing over 2 million sq ft of offices. It is also one of the most desirable residential communities with a nationally recognised education system, a byword for cosmopolitan entertainment and 770 acres of parkland. Our rental guarantee ur rental guarantee covers the net rent obtained from each property in your portfolio and for two years from purchase. If your net rental income per property exceeds our guaranteed 12%, you will keep the surplus. That is, the rental guarantee does not limit the actual yield on any property in your portfolio. Net rental income is what remains after property management fees, property tax and buildings insurance has been deducted from the gross rent (see table opposite). Any costs of maintenance for a property in your portfolio (labour, parts and materials) are not included. The net rental income is adjusted annually to take account of changes in property tax and insurance rates. The rental guarantee period provides a level of reassurance that your income is safe while you get to know the characteristics of the US property market. It covers both foreseen and unforeseen eventualities the most common of which is the dead period and costs incurred of a change in tenancy. After two years, we will continue to look after your investment with due diligence and always keep you informed by email and through your secure on-line portal.

Personal tax he personal tax position will vary depending on your status and country of residence. For example, if you are investing as an individual or as a corporate entity. The US has reciprocal tax agreements with most countries so that the tax taken by the US is credited against your personal tax liability in your country of residence. As a foreign investor you only get taxed on your income earned and assets held in the USA. It does not apply to any income earned or assets held outside the USA unless you are a US citizen. We can provide general advice and introduce you to specialists who can help.
