Overview

Market and Economic Conditions

The overwhelming volume of subprime loans to non-conforming borrowers and or lax lending in the past, have led to the U.S. Housing bubble and the current residential market correction. Some borrowers with high loan – to – value ratios find themselves with property worth less than the outstanding mortgage loan balance, a condition known as negative equity. Homeowners with negative equity are simply unable to refinance or are unwilling to remain current on their mortgage payments, choosing to walk away from their homes.  While theses factors present unfortunate problems for the lending intuitions, they do create valuable opportunities for the right individuals.

Acquisition Opportunity

This is a time sensitive, unique market opportunity to purchase traditionally resilient properties at temporarily reduced pricing. The subprime crisis and decline of the U.S. real estate and mortgage markets have created unparalleled investment opportunities. We can capitalize on these advantageous conditions by acquiring prime residential property throughout South Florida at substantially discounted rates. Once acquired, TrandWorld’s strategy will be to immediately stabilize, refurbish and refitting the properties when necessary and transforming a nonperforming, undervalued asset into a performing one. Following any necessary rehabilitation, TrandWorld will rent the properties to qualified tenants. As they return to performing status and market values appreciate, the properties will ultimately be liquidated at a significant profit.

Our Teams Strategy

TrandWorld Equities Management will focus on three (3) primary areas of operation:

1.  Limited Partnerships with Select Individuals

2.  Acquisition of under value Residential Properties

3.  Stabilization and dispositions of assets

1. Limited Partnerships with select Individuals

TrandWorld Equities and their partners pursue secure returns through real estate. Our partners are provided quarterly updates, including summary of assets, status of rehabilitation work, occupancy rates, accounting details and ultimate disposition of assets.  Our strategy allows us to establish and secure the resale value of the assets, thereby securing the return to the partnership. The TrandWorld Equities Management Team will oversee all aspects of the business from asset identification, and acquisition, through property rehab, management, maintenance, renting and disposition.

2.  Acquisition of Under Value Residential Properties

The Management Team recognizes significant opportunities in acquiring properties at tremendously undervalued pricing. TrandWorld Equities will purchase these distressed properties that fall within our Performa guidelines. Our typical Business Plan contemplates acquisition of select residences in locations with solid rental markets, to produce an income stream during the term of the venture. We also look for submarkets where we anticipate appreciation and market stabilization within a 3 to 5 year period. This strategy will enable us to maximize our profits by way of rental income and market appreciation over the anticipated hold-period. Through our dynamic and extensive network of mortgage brokers, real estate brokers, lenders and property industry contacts, TrandWorld Equities Management Team often learns of unique opportunities before they reach the general market. Importantly, the Management Team’s experience in property construction, management and sales will enable TrandWorld Equities to sell the properties within the anticipated hold-period.

3. Stabilization and Disposition of Assets

Each property, will be rehabilitated as needed by utilizing the services of our affiliated construction company. We then rent the units at prevailing market rates. Qualifying renters may enter into a lease with an option to purchase the property. We sell inventory, and then distribute profits from the proceeds. Additionally, our innovative rent-to-own program enables us to establish property values and lock in future profits.

Collectively our Management Team has purchased, improved, sold and financed more than several billion dollars of Real Estate throughout Florida, U.S., and Canada.

Real Estate Market Cycle

Expansion (also known as Growth) creates increased jobs, population growth and high demand on the infrastructure of an area. Building costs and capital markets readily accommodate new construction and/or renovation, thereby resulting in increased building, a proliferation of new business, infrastructure expansion and rising prices.

Equilibrium (also known as Hyper-Supply) occurs when expansion decelerates. Prices have achieved their threshold, or have pushed beyond their limit, thereby resulting in high prices. There is a reduction in new businesses and slowing of job growth. As supply has generally met demand, property that is marginal in either quality or location begins to experience softening in occupancy or rent levels.

Decline (also known as Recession) results due to oversupply, negative absorption, reduction in market rents and a cessation of job growth. Businesses begin to relocate as a cost savings measure and housing demand slumps. Prices stagnate or decline as rents and occupancy descends. Although this cycle component suggests merely a deceleration of the growth rate, those markets which had experienced an overlay rapid increase will experience a pricing correction.

The National Association of Realtors recently stated that the Florida property market is nearing its bottom and they expect to see an increase in pricing and sales. With developers cutting back new home inventory by 70%, a weak dollar bringing in new foreign buyers, rising rents, and backlog of potential buyers, the market is expected to recover In the near future
