Johnnie,
Thank you for meeting with me on Friday. I left feeling very optimistic
about the panel system. I would like to find a way to incorporate the panels
into the home design I showed you. In order to make it feasible within my
budget I am sure it will take several iterations. The prospect of purchasing
the panels and having your framers install them may have to be considered.
However, my first choice would be for you to be the general contractor.
I realize you receive a number of calls just seeking information about this
product with very little probability of a sale. I just want to assure you
that I am going to build this house in the fall and I would seriously
consider using the panel system if it truly was only a slight increase in
cost over stick built.
Please email your cost estimates when complete.
Thank you,

I sent you an email last week stating that I would be in San Marcos on
Friday, April 13th. However, my closing has been postponed. As I mentioned
I am going to have Cary Kipp draw the plans for the residence and I will get
back in touch with you once he is finished.
Regarding the multifamily project, I am going to work with a project manager
from San Antonio. For my first development project, I feel more comfortable
with their experience obtaining FHA financing. We are working with Kipp
Flores to finalize the floor plans and begin construction drawings. Your bid
for the construction is competive with other construction estimates. I am
still attracted to your firm as the possible builder due to your strong local
relationships. I will get back in touch with you once we have made the final
determination on unit mix and site plan.
Phillip Allen | 336 |
||
allen-p/_sent_mail/406. | Re: ,
Jacques,
The amounts needed to fill in the blanks on Exhibit "B" are as follows:
Kipp Flores-Total Contract was $23,600 but $2,375 was paid and only $21,225
is outstanding.
Kohutek- $2,150
Cuatro- $37,800
George & Larry paid $3,500 for the appraisal and I agreed to reimburse this
amount.
The total cash that Keith and I will pay the Sellers is $5,875 ($3,500
appraisal and $2,375 engineering). I couldn't find any reference to this
cash consideration to be paid by the buyers.
Let me know if I need to do anything else before you can forward this to the
sellers to be executed.
Phillip | 337 |
||
allen-p/_sent_mail/407. | ,

receive the same signing incentives as Keith.
Phillip | 338 |
||
allen-p/_sent_mail/408. | Re: Answers to List ,
Thanks for the response. I think you are right that engaging an architect is
the next logical step. I had already contacted Cary Kipp and sent him the
floor plan.
He got back to me yesterday with his first draft. He took my plan and
improved it. I am going to officially engage Cary to draw the plans. While
he works on those I wanted to try and work out a detailed specification
list. Also, I would like to visit a couple of homes that you have built and
speak to 1 or 2 satisfied home owners. I will be in San Marcos on Friday
April 13th. Are there any homes near completion that I could walk through
that day? Also can you provide some references?
Once I have the plans and specs, I will send them to you so you can adjust
your bid.

Phillip | 346 |

allen-p/_sent_mail/415. | ,
Reagan,
I am still reviewing the numbers but here are some initial thoughts.
Are you proposing a cost plus contract with no cap?
What role would you play in obtaining financing? Any experience with FHA
221(d) loans?
Although your fees are lower than George and Larry I am still getting market
quotes lower yet. I have received estimates structured as follows:
5% - onsite expenses, supervision, clean up, equipment
2%- overhead
4%- profit
I just wanted to give you this initial feedback. I have also attached an
extremely primitive spreadsheet to outline the project. As you can see even
reducing the builders fees to the numbers above the project would only
generate $219,194 of cash flow for a return of 21%. I am not thrilled about
such a low return. I think I need to find a way to get the total cost down
to $10,500,000 which would boost the return to 31%. Any ideas?
I realize that you are offering significant development experience plus you
local connections. I am not discounting those services. I will be out of
the office for the rest of the week, but I will call you early next week.

Reagan,
Thank you for the quick response on the bid for the residence. Below is a
list of questions on the specs:
1. Is the framing Lumber #2 yellow pine? Wouldn't fir or spruce warp less
and cost about the same?
2. What type of floor joist would be used? 2x12 or some sort of factory
joist?
3. What type for roof framing? On site built rafters? or engineered trusses?
4. Are you planning for insulation between floors to dampen sound? What
type of insulation in floors and ceiling? Batts or blown? Fiberglass or
Cellulose?
5. Any ridge venting or other vents (power or turbine)?
6. Did you bid for interior windows to have trim on 4 sides? I didn't know
the difference between an apron and a stool.
7. Do you do anything special under the upstairs tile floors to prevent
cracking? Double plywood or hardi board underlay?
8. On the stairs, did you allow for a bannister? I was thinking a partial
one out of iron. Only about 5 feet.
9. I did not label it on the plan, but I was intending for a 1/2 bath under
the stairs. A pedestal sink would probably work.
10. Are undermount sinks different than drop ins? I was thinking undermount
stainless in kitchen and undermount cast iron in baths.
11. 1 or 2 A/C units? I am assuming 2.
12. Prewired for sound indoors and outdoors?
13. No door and drawer pulls on any cabinets or just bath cabinets?
14. Exterior porches included in bid? Cedar decking on upstairs? Iron
railings?
15. What type of construction contract would you use? Fixed price except
for change orders?
I want to get painfully detailed with the specs before I make a decision but
this is a start. I think I am ready to get plans drawn up. I am going to
call Cary Kipp to
see about setting up a design meeting to see if I like his ideas.

Jacques,
Would it be ok if I signed new consulting agreements with the engineer and
architect? They have both sent me agreements. The only payment
that George and Larry had made was $2,350 to the architect. I have written
personal checks in the amounts of $25,000 to the architect and $13,950 to the
engineer.
I was wondering if the prior work even needs to be listed as an asset of the
partnership.
I would like for the agreements with these consultants to be with the
partnership not with me. Should I wait until the partnership has been
conveyed to sign in the name of the partnership.
Let me know what you think.
Phillip | 356 |

allen-p/_sent_mail/426. | ,
Greg,
Here are my comments and questions on the cost estimates:
Cost per square foot seem too low for construction $33.30/sf (gross)/$36/sf
(rentable)
What do the cost for On-Site General Requirements ( $299,818) represent?
Will you review the builders profit and fees with me again? You mentioned 2%
overhead, 3 % ???, and 5% profit.
Why is profit only 4%?
Why are the architect fees up to $200K. I thought they would be $80K.
What is the $617K of profit allowance? Is that the developers profit to
boost loan amount but not a real cost?
Total Closing and Application costs of 350K? That seems very high? Who
receives the 2 points? How much will be sunk costs if FHA declines us?
Where is your 1%? Are you receiving one of the points on the loan?
What is the status on the operating pro forma? My back of the envelope puts
NOI at $877K assuming 625/1BR, 1300/3BR, 950/2BR, 5% vacancy, and 40%
expenses. After debt service that would only leave $122K. The coverage
would only be 1.16.
Talk to you this afternoon.

Mike is fine with signing a new contract (subject to reading the terms, of
course). He prefers to set strikes over a 3 month period. His existing
contract pays him a retention payment of $55,000 in the next week. He still
wants to receive this payment.

Greg,
Something that I forgot to ask you. Do you know if Hugo is planning to
replatt using an administrative process which I understand is quicker than
the full replatting process of 3 weeks?
Also let me know about the parking. The builder in San Marcos believed the
plan only had 321 parking spots but would require 382 by code. The townhomes
across the street have a serious parking problem. They probably planned for
the students to park in the garages but instead they are used as extra rooms.

keith holst sent you an email with the details. | 365 |
||
allen-p/_sent_mail/432. | Re: Purchase and Sale Agreement ,
Jacques,
The agreement looks fine. My only comment is that George and Larry might
object to the language that "the bank that was requested to finance the
construction of the project declined to make the loan based on the high costs
of the construction of the Project". Technically, that bank lowered the
loan amount based on lower estimates of rents which altered the amount of
equity that would be required.
Did I loan them $1,300,000? I thought it was less.
Regarding Exhibit A, the assets include: the land, architectural plans,
engineering completed, appraisal, and soils study. Most of these items are
in a state of partial completion by the consultants. I have been speaking
directly to the architect, engineer, and soils engineer. I am unclear on
what is the best way to proceed with these consultants.
The obligations should include the fees owed to the consultants above. Do we
need to list balances due or just list the work completed as an asset and
give consideration of $5,875 for the cash paid to the engineer and appraisor.

I was planning on stopping by to see Hugo Elizondo on Thursday to drop off a
check and give him the green light to file for replatting. What will change
if we want to try and complete the project in phases. Does he need to change
what he is going to submit to the city.
I spoke to Gordon Kohutek this morning. He was contracted to complete the
soils study. He says he will be done with his report by the end of the
week. I don't know who needs this report. I told Gordon you might call to

I realize you are disappointed about the project. It is not my desire for
you to be left with out of pocket expenses. The only item from your list
that I need further
clarification is the $15,000 worth of extensions. You mentioned that this
was applied to the cost of the land and it actually represents your cash
investment in the land. I agree that you should be refunded any cash
investment. My only request is that you help me locate this amount on the
closing statement or on some other document.
Phillip | 375 |
||
allen-p/_sent_mail/441. | ,
Jacques,
I think we reached an agreement with George and Larry to pick up the items of
value and not pay any fees for their time. It looks as if we will be able to
use everything they have done (engineering, architecture, survey,
appraisal). One point that is unclear is they claim that the $15,000 in
extensions that they paid was applied to the purchase price of the land like
earnest money would be applied. I looked at the closing statements and I
didn't see $15,000 applied against the purchase price. Can you help clear
this up.
Assuming we clear up the $15,000, we need to get the property released.
Keith and I are concerned about taking over the Bishop Corner partnership and
the risk that there could be undisclosed liabilities. On the other hand,
conveyance of the partnership would be a time and money saver if it was
clean. What is your inclination?

Gentlemen,
Today I finally received some information on the status of the work done to
date. I spoke to Hugo Alexandro at Cuatro Consultants. The property is
still in two parcels. Hugo has completed a platt to combine into one lot
and is ready to submit it to the city of San Marcos. He has also completed a
topographical survey and a tree survey. In addition, he has begun to
coordinate with the city on the replatting and a couple of easements on the
smaller parcel, as well as, beginning the work on the grading. Hugo is going
to fax me a written letter of the scope of work he has been engaged to
complete. The total cost of his services are estimated at $38,000 of which
$14,000 are due now for work completed.
We are trying to resolve the issues of outstanding work and bills incurred by
the original developer so we can obtain the title to the land. If we can
continue to use Cuatro then it would be one less point of contention. Hugo's
number is 512-295-8052. I thought you might want to contact him directly and
ask him some questions. I spoke to him about the possibility of your call
and he was fine with that.
Now we are going to try and determine if any of the work performed by Kipp
Flores can be used.
Keith and I appreciate you meeting with us on Sunday. We left very
optimistic about the prospect of working with you on this project.
Call me with feedback after you speak to Hugo or with any other ideas about
moving this project forward.

We haven't discussed how to proceed with the land. The easiest treatment
would be just to deed it to us. However, it might be more

#2 still owe deposit?
#9 What day will she pay and is she going to pay monthly or biweekly.

Darrell,
Today I let the builder/developer know that I would not proceed with his
excessively high cost estimates. As he did not have the funds to take on the
land himself, he was agreeable to turning over the land to me. I would like
to proceed and develop the property.
My thought is to compare the financing between Bank One and FHA. I would
also like to compare construction and development services between what you
can do and a local builder in San Marcos that I have been speaking with.
Making a trip to meet you and take a look at some of your projects seems to
be in order. I am trying to get the status of engineering and architectural
work to date. Once again the architect is Kipp Florres and the engineer is
Quattro Consultants out of Buda. Let me know if you have an opinion about

file was prepared by the builder/developer.
The architect that has begun to work on the project is Kipp Flores. They are
in Austin.
Thank you for your time this evening. Your comments were very helpful. I
appreciate you and Greg taking a look at this project.

Al,
I was not going to do the MS this year. Thanks for the offer though.
All is well here. We went to Colorado last week and the kids learned to
ski. Work is same as always.
How are things going at New Power? Is there any potential?

George,
I am back in the office and ready to focus on the project. I still have
the concerns that I had last week. Specifically that the costs of our
project are too high. I have gathered more information that support my
concerns. Based on my research, I believe the project should cost around
$10.5 million. The components are as follows:
Unit Cost, Site work, &
builders profit($52/sf) $7.6 million
Land 1.15
Interim Financing .85
Common Areas .80
Total $10.4
Since Reagan's last 12 units are selling for around $190,000, I am unable
to get comfortable building a larger project at over $95,000/unit in costs.
Also, the comps used in the appraisal from Austin appear to be class A
properties. It seems unlikely that student housing in San Marcos can
produce the same rent or sales price. There should adjustments for
location and the seasonal nature of student rental property. I recognize
that Sagewood is currently performing at occupancy and $/foot rental rates
that are closer to the appraisal and your pro formas, however, we do not
believe that the market will sustain these levels on a permanent basis.
Supply will inevitablely increase to drive this market more in balance.
After the real estate expert from Houston reviewed the proforma and cost
estimates, his comments were that the appraisal is overly optimistic. He
feels that the permanent financing would potentially be around $9.8
million. We would not even be able to cover the interim financing.
Keith and I have reviewed the project thoroughly and are in agreement that
we cannot proceed with total cost estimates significantly above $10.5
million. We would like to have a conference call Tuesday afternoon to
discuss
alternatives.

I was out last week. Regarding the Montana supply, you can refer them to
Mark Whitt in Denver.
Let me know when you want to have the other meeting.
Also, we frequently give out quotes to mid-marketers on Fred LaGrasta's desk
or Enron marketers in New York where the customer is EES. I don't understand
why your people don't contact the desk directly.

Lucy,
Here are few questions regarding the 2/16 rentroll:
#2 Has she actually paid the $150 deposit. Her move in date was 2/6. It is
not on any rentroll that I can see.
#9 Explain again what deposit and rent is transferring from #41 and when she
will start paying on #9
#15 Since he has been such a good tenant for so long. Stop trying to
collect the $95 in question.
#33 Missed rent. Are they still there?
#26 I see that she paid a deposit. But the file says she moved in on 1/30.
Has she ever paid rent? I can't find any on the last three deposits.
#44 Have the paid for February? There is no payment since the beginning of
the year.
#33 You email said they paid $140 on 1/30 plus $14 in late fees, but I don't
see that on the 1/26 or 2/2 deposit?
The last three questions add up to over $1200 in missing rent. I need you to
figure these out immediately.
I emailed you a new file for 2/23 and have attached the last three rentroll
in case you need to research these questions.
I will not be in the office next week. If I can get connected you might be
able to email me at [email protected]. Otherwise try and work with Gary
on pressing issues. If there is an emergency you can call me at 713-410-4679.

I can take a day off the week I get back from vacation. Any day between
March 5th-9th would work but Friday or Thursday would be my preference.
Regarding the differences in the two estimates, I don't want to waste your
time explaining the differences if the 1st forecast was very rough. The
items I listed moved dramatically. Also, some of the questions were just
clarification of what was in a number.
Let's try and reach an agreement on the construction manager issue tomorrow
morning.

John,
Does next Thursday at 3pm fit your schedule to go over the rockies
forecasts? I will set up a room with Kim.
Here are some suggestions for projects for Colleen:
1. Review and document systems and processes - The handoffs from ERMS,
TAGG, Unify, Sitara and other systems are not clearly understood by all the
parties trying to make improvements. I think I understand ERMS and
TAGG but the issues facing
scheduling in Unify are grey.
2. Review and audit complex deals- Under the "assume it is messed up"
policy, existing deals could use a review and the booking of new deals need
further scrutiny.
3. Review risk books- Is Enron accurately accounting for physical
imbalances, transport fuel, park and loan transactions?
4. Lead trading track program- Recruit, oversee rotations, design training
courses, review progress and make cuts.
5. Fundamentals- Liason between trading and analysts. Are we looking at
everything we should? Putting a person with a trading mentality should add
some value and direction to the group.
In fact there is so much work she could do that you probably need a second MD
to work part time to get it done.

allen-p/_sent_mail/490. | Re: FW: Change in the agroup Cycling Schedule ,
The spinning bikes are so much better than the life cycles. Would you
consider placing several spinning bikes out with the other exercise equipment
and running a spinning video on the TV's. I think the equipment would be
used much more. Members could just jump on a bike and follow the video any
time of day.
Let me know if this is possible.

allen-p/_sent_mail/495. | Re: General Issues ,
Jaques,
After meeting with George and Larry, it was clear that we have different
definitions of cost and profit. Their version includes the salary of a
superintendent and a junior superintendent as hard costs equivalent to third
party subs and materials. Then there is a layer of "construction management"
fees of 10%. There are some small incidental cost that they listed would be
paid out of this money. But I think the majority of it is profit. Finally
the builders profit of 1.4 million.
Keith and I were not sure whether we would be open to paying the supers out
of the cost or having them be paid out of the builders profit. After all, if
they are the builders why does there need to be two additional supervisors?
We were definitely not intending to insert an additional 10% fee in addition
to the superintendent costs. George claims that all of these costs have been
in the cost estimates that we have been using. I reviewed the estimates and
the superintendents are listed but I don't think the construction management
fee is included.
George gave me some contracts that show how these fees are standard. I will
review and let you know what I think.
The GP issues don't seem to be a point of contention. They are agreeable to
the 3 out 4 approval process.
Let me know if you have opinions or sources that I can use to push for only
true costs + 1.4 million.

Forward Reg Dickson's resume to Ted Bland for consideration for the trading

scheduling position I have available. I will work with Cournie Parker to

Lucy,
Thanks for clearing up the 2/2 file. Moving on to 2/9, here are some
questions:
#1 It looks like he just missed 1/26&2/9 of $110. I can't tell if he still
owes $47 on his deposit.
#13 I show she missed rent on 1/26 and still owes $140.
#15 Try and follow up with Tomas about the $95. Hopefully, he won't have a
bad reaction.
#20b Missed rent?
#26 Has she paid any deposit or rent?
#27 Missed rent? | 447 |

Here is the 2/2 rentroll. The total does not equal the bank deposit. Your
earlier response answered the questions for #3,11,15,20a, and 35.
But the deposit was $495 more than the rentroll adds up to. If the answer to
this question lies in apartment 1,13, and 14, can you update this file and
send it back.
Now I am going to work on a rentroll for this Friday. I will probably send
you some questions about the 2/9 rentroll. Let's get this stuff clean today.

Colleen,
I checked the transport model and found the following extrinsic values on
January 2nd versus February 11:
1/2 2/11
Stanfield to Malin 209 81
SJ/Perm. to Socal 896 251
Sj to Socal 2747 768
PGE/Top to Citygate 51 3
PGE/Top to KRS 16 4
SJ to Valero 916 927
If these numbers are correct, then we haven't increased the extrinsic value
since the beginning of the year. Can you confirm that I am looking at the
right numbers?

Lucy,
Here is a draft of a memo we should distribute to the units that are subject
to caps. I wrote it as if it were from you. It should come from the manager.
It is very important that we tell new tenants what the utility cap for there
unit is when they move in. This needs to be written in on their lease.
When you have to talk to a tenant complaining about the overages emphasize
that it is only during the peak months and it is already warming up.
Have my Dad read the memo before you put it out. You guys can make changes
if you need to.
Next week we need to take inventory of all air conditioners and
refrigerators. We have to get this done next week. I will email you a form
to use to record serial numbers. The prospective buyers want this
information plus we need it for our records. Something to look forward to.
It is 2 PM and I have to leave the office. Please have my Dad call me with
the information about the units at home 713-463-8626. He will know what I
mean.
Talk to you later,
Phillip | 458 |

allen-p/_sent_mail/517. | ,
Lucy,
Here is the rentroll for this Friday. Sorry it is so late.
There are a few problems with the rentroll from 2/2.
1. I know you mentioned the deposit would be 5360.65 which is what the bank
is showing, but the rentroll only adds up to 4865. The missing money on the
spreadsheet is probably the answer to my other questions below.
2. #1 Did he pay the rent he missed on 1/26?
3. #3 Did he miss rent on 1/26 and 2/2?
4. #11 Missed on 2/2?
5. #13 Missed on 1/26?
6. #14 missed on 2/2?
7. #15 missed on 2/2 and has not paid the 95 from 1/19?
8. #20a missed on 2/2?
9. #35 missed on 2/2?
My guess is some of these were paid but not recorded on the 2/2 rentroll.
You may have sent me a message over the "chat" line that I don't remember on
some of these. I just want to get the final rentroll to tie exactly to the
bank deposit.
Will have some time today to work on a utility letter. Tried to call Wade
last night at 5:30 but couldn't reach him. Will try again today.

Jacques,
Can you draft the partnership agreement and the construction contract?
The key business points are:
1. Investment is a loan with prime + 1% rate
2. Construction contract is cost plus $1.4 Million
3. The investors' loan is repaid before any construction profit is paid.
4. All parties are GP's but 3 out 4 votes needed for major decisions?
5. 60/40 split favoring the investors.
With regard to the construction contract, we are concerned about getting a
solid line by line cost estimate and clearly defining what constitutes
costs. Then we need a mechanism to track the actual expenses. Keith and I
would like to oversee the bookkeeping. The builders would be requred to fax
all invoices within 48 hours. We also would want online access to the
checking account of the partnership so we could see if checks were clearing
but invoices were not being submitted.
Let me know if you can draft these agreements. The GP issue may need some
tweaking.
