, 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, Phillip Allen

, Reagan, 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

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

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

, 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. Phillip

, 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. Phillip I

, 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

, 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. Phillip

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. Phillip

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. Phillip

Re: Buyout , Larrry, 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? Call as soon as you have a chance to review. Phillip

, 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. Phillip

Re: San Marcos , 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 either. I look forward to working with you.

, 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. Phillip

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 tomorrow to discuss alternatives. Phillip

Re: Producer Services , Don, 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. Phillip

, 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. Phillip

Re: Genesis Plant Tour , George, 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. Phillip

, 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. Phillip

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. Phillip Allen X37041

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. Phillip

, 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?

, Lucy, 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. Phillip

, 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

, 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. I believe that a doctor from Seguin is going to make an offer. Did you meet them? If so, what did you think? Phillip

, 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. Phillip Allen 713-853-7041 [email protected]
