This offering provides an investor the opportunity to acquire a well maintained apartment community with exceptional value-add upside in a premier location within the city. Built in 1957, La Rhonda has been cared for by the same family for over 54 years. It has a unit mix that is well suited to the region’s rental demand, consisting of 6 one-bedroom/one-bath units and 2 two-bedroom/one bath units. Despite its age, the property’s units have desirable, open-concept floor plans. Each of the two-bedroom units also offer oversized balconies. As is common with rental properties that have been owned for multiple generations, the opportunity for a new owner to add value is significant. The result is an income stream that is substantially trailing its market potential. For example, current monthly rents are averaging just $1,099 per month, the tenants receive free cable TV, and the landlord is not collecting RUBS for water, sewer, trash or other common area utilities. With more aggressive management, raising average rents to their pro forma market rent potential of $1,459 per month – and billing tenants for cable TV and utility RUBS – will lead to a 38.60% upside in the Scheduled Gross Income and a corresponding 67.04% upside in the Net Operating Income. The intrinsic value of La Rhonda as a rental property is its location. It sits near the southern border of Uptown Whittier, directly across the street EXECUTIVE SUMMARY // LA RHONDA APARTMENTS from the Whittier Center Theater and the Whittier Community Center and less than 0.5 miles to the north is the Public Library, the City Hall and Whittier College. Major nearby retail centers include the Quad at Whittier less than 1 mile south and Whittier Marketplace approximately 1 mile to the west. 3 LA RHONDA APARTMENTS // EXECUTIVE SUMMARY // LA RHONDA APARTMENTS INVESTMENT HIGHLIGHTS ► Superior Location at the Southern End of Uptown Whittier.

The La Rhonda Apartments’ desirability as an investment property is clearly linked to this fundamental real estate principle. It is a lifestyle location due to its proximity to Whittier’s Historic District, Uptown Whittier, Whittier Center Theater, Whittier Community Center, Whittier College, and major retail centers. It is also home to a solid and growing job market that is driven by the city’s well-documented business-friendly, pro-growth vision. LA RHONDA APARTMENTS // EXECUTIVE SUMMARY // LA RHONDA APARTMENTS NEARBY RETAIL, ATTRACTIONS AND SCHOOLS UPTOWN WHITTIER - THE “HEART” OF THE COMMUNITY La Rhonda Apartments is ideally situated near the southern border of the historic retail core of the City of Whittier, an area that covers approximately 185 acres and 35 city blocks. Uptown Whittier is a strategic focus of the city’s City Council. Their objective is for this region to become the “heart” of the community both from a business and cultural standpoint. It has already made great strides towards the city’s Specific Plan and is gaining recognition as a dining destination that attracts local entrepreneurs as well as “foodies” from throughout the region. As noted in last year’s Whittier Daily News, “there’s a revolution going on in Uptown Whittier and the participants are armed with cutlery, grills, spices, pots and pans, and array of original beverages and dishes.” As stated in the city’s Specific Plan, Uptown has the potential of becoming the jewel of Whittier: a source of pride for its citizens, a sense of identity from its historic roots, and a place of great character and attraction due to its unique urban form and diversity of activities. Uptown possesses a number of valuable assets including: ► It is highly walkable due to its compact size, mix of land uses, and relatively small scale of its buildings and streets. ► This region of the city is filled with numerous locally owned stores, restaurants and services. ► Uptown contains, or is in close proximity to, many churches and civic institutions which serve as anchors of the community. 6 WHITTIER COLLEGE Less than 1/2 mile to the north is Whittier College, a private liberal arts college founded in 1887 with approximately 1,725 enrolled students. With 60% of its student body described as “students of color”, Whittier College prides itself on being one of the most diverse liberal arts college in the United States. One of its most famous students was the 37th president of the United States - Richard M. Nixon.
