Business Overview of Lennar Corporation We are the largest homebuilder in the United States in terms of consolidated revenue, an originator of residential and commercial mortgage loans, and a developer of multifamily rental properties in various U.S. markets primarily through unconsolidated entities. In addition, we are involved in ventures, and have interests in companies, that are engaged in applying technology to purchasing, residing in and selling homes. Our homebuilding operations are the most substantial part of our business, comprising $19.1 billion in revenues, or approximately 93% of consolidated revenues, in fiscal 2018 . As of November 30, 2018 , our reportable homebuilding segments and Homebuilding Other had divisions located in: East: Florida, New Jersey, North Carolina, and South Carolina Central: Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Minnesota, Tennessee and Virginia Texas: Texas West: Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, Oregon, Utah and Washington Other: Urban divisions and other homebuilding related investments, including FivePoint Our other reportable segments are Lennar Financial Services, Lennar Multifamily and Rialto. Financial information about our Homebuilding, Lennar Financial Services, Lennar Multifamily and Rialto operations, including our former Rialto Capital Management investment and asset management platform ("Rialto Management Group"), which we sold on November 30, 2018, is contained in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, which is Item 7 of this Report, and our consolidated financial statements and the notes to our consolidated financial statements, which are included in Item 8 of this Report. As of December 1, 2018, our reportable segments in addition to homebuilding were Lennar Financial Services, including Rialto Mortgage Finance ("RMF"), Lennar Multifamily and Corporate and Other. A Brief History of Our Company Our company was founded as a local Miami homebuilder in 1954. We completed our initial public offering in 1971 and listed our common stock on the New York Stock Exchange in 1972. During the 1980s and 1990s, we entered and expanded operations in a number of homebuilding markets, including California, Florida and Texas, through both organic growth and acquisitions, such as Pacific Greystone Corporation in 1997. In 2000, we acquired U.S. Home Corporation, which expanded our operations into New Jersey, Maryland, Virginia, Minnesota and Colorado and strengthened our position in other states. From 2002 through 2005, we acquired several regional homebuilders, which brought us into new markets and strengthened our position in several existing markets. From 2010 through 2013, we expanded our homebuilding operations into Georgia, Oregon, Washington and Tennessee. In 2017, we acquired WCI Communities, Inc. ("WCI"), a homebuilder of luxury single and multifamily homes, including a small number of luxury high-rise tower units, in Florida. In February 2018, we acquired CalAtlantic Group, Inc. ("CalAtlantic"), a major homebuilder which was building homes across the homebuilding spectrum, from entry level to luxury, in 43 metropolitan statistical areas spanning 19 states, and providing mortgage, title and escrow services. As a result, we became the nation's largest homebuilder in terms of consolidated revenues, with fiscal year 2018 revenues of $20.6 billion. We are currently focused on maintaining moderate growth in community count and homes sales, reducing homebuilding costs through volume purchasing, increasing the efficiencies in our building process and reducing selling, general and administrative expenses by using technology and innovative strategies to reduce customer acquisition costs. We are also focused on a soft-pivot land strategy, shortening the average time between when we acquire land and when we expect to begin building homes on it. This decreases the percentage of homesites we need to purchase outright versus control through options or other arrangements, as well as increases the rate of return on our homebuilding investment and generating net cash flow. In addition we are focused on our strategic investments in technology companies that are looking to improve the homebuilding and financial services industry to better serve our customers and increase efficiencies. In 2017, we decided to increase our focus on our core homebuilding and related finance businesses, and to dispose of some of our non-core businesses. During fiscal 2018 and the early part of 2019, we disposed of our Rialto Management Group,

  • BRPI 2015 Annual Report
    Brookfield Residential Properties Inc. 2015 ANNUAL REPORT December 31, 2015 President & Chief Executive Officer’s Report In 2015, Brookfield Residential continued to reinforce our long-term approach to the business with a focus on performing in mixed-market conditions and identifying opportunities to increase our presence in each of the markets in which we operate. While Brookfield Residential is no longer a public company, little has changed in the way we operate. We remain focused on generating value from our sizable land portfolio located in select markets across North America. Brookfield Residential continued to deliver results in 2015 despite a tough Alberta economic environment and a weaker Canadian dollar. Our 2015 income before income taxes was $153 million which saw our Company close 2,729 homes and 2,936 single-family lots (including our share of unconsolidated entities). This represents a 19% increase in home closings and a 20% increase in lot closings when compared to 2014. However, as we report our overall results in U.S. dollars, we encountered variability through the translation of our Canadian results given the 14% decline in the year-to- date average Canadian foreign exchange rate in 2015 when compared to 2014. Performing in Mixed-Market Conditions Looking at the U.S. market, housing activity has remained strong and we are encouraged with the underlying fundamentals in our markets. We believe the amendments made to the mortgage rules and the reductions in Federal Housing Administration (“FHA”) premiums have had a positive impact in certain of our markets. We continue to believe that the significant pent-up demand, improving employment numbers and increasing consumer confidence will result in continued recovery of the housing market.

  • October 15, 2010 Mr. Alfred M. Pollard General Counsel Federal Housing
    October 15, 2010 Mr. Alfred M. Pollard General Counsel Federal Housing Finance Agency Fourth Floor 1700 G Street NW. Washington, DC 20552 ATTENTION: Public Comments "Guidance on Private Transfer Fee Covenants, (No. 201O-N- 11)" Dear Mr. Pollard: On behalf of the more than 3,800 member companies of the American Land Title Association (ALTA), we applaud the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) for its guidance to the enterprises on the growing use of private transfer fee covenants and their effect on Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Federal Home Loan Bank mortgage purchases, but especially consumers. Private transfer fee covenants provide no benefit to consumers, real estate or the public, but rather cost consumers’ money, complicate the safe, efficient and legal transfer of real estate and depress home prices1. ALTA, founded in 1907, is the national trade association and voice of the real estate settlement services, abstract and title insurance industry. With more than 8,000 offices throughout the country, ALTA members operate in every county in the United States to search, review and insure land titles to protect home buyers and mortgage lenders who invest in real estate. ALTA members include title insurance companies, title agents, independent abstracters, title searchers and attorneys, ranging from small, one-county operations, to large national title insurers. Real property is the greatest source of wealth in the United States, and access to that wealth is only possible because of a strong set of property rights that determine how property is used and owned. By establishing legal rights to property, economies have the surety necessary to use it as collateral in order to create additional capital.

  • Study of the Possible Effect of Problem Drywall Presence on Foreclosures Report to Congress July 17, 2012
    Study of the Possible Effect of Problem Drywall Presence on Foreclosures Report to Congress July 17, 2012 Summary Overview This report is HUD’s response to section 1494 of the Dodd-Frank Act, which required the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, in consultation with the Secretary of the Treasury, to conduct a study of the effect on residential mortgage loan foreclosures of: (1) the presence in residential structures subject to such mortgage loans of drywall that was imported from China during the period beginning with 2004 and ending at the end of 2007; and (2) the availability of property insurance for residential structures in which such drywall is present. The report begins by providing context and background information regarding drywall imported from China, its presence in the U.S. homebuilding market, and the recent problems associated with it. It then calculates the extent of possible impacts associated with problem drywall by estimating of the number of residences built with drywall imported from China, the geographic distribution of these units, and the fraction of units affected. Following this assessment of scope and scale, the report examines how the presence of problem drywall might catalyze a foreclosure. This section includes discussion of the indirect consequences of problem drywall, the primary causes of foreclosure in the U.S. housing market, and whether property insurance mitigates the problems caused by some of the Chinese drywall. The report concludes with recommendations and a summary of key findings. Key Findings. While a significant issue for those with problem drywall in their homes, problem drywall was not a significant contributor to the foreclosure crisis in the United States.

  • California, Pivot of the Great Recession
    California, Pivot of the Great Recession by Ashok Bardhan Fisher Center for Real Estate & Urban Economics Haas School of Business and Richard Walker Department of Geography California Studies Center Working Paper No. 203­10 Institute for Research on Labor & Employment University of California, Berkeley March 2010 1 The financial crisis that struck in 2008 marked the onset of the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression of the 1930s. The newly dubbed 'Great Recession' is a worldwide phenomenon, which some have called the first true crisis of the era of globalization. It crippled banks around the world, from Iceland to Hong Kong. It hit global trade hard in early 2009, with severe fall-offs from Korea to Germany. It crashed housing markets from Spain to South Africa. And it left millions unemployed, from Sheffield to Shenzhen (Krugman 2008, Henwood 2009, Stiglitz 2010). The intensity of the downturn was bound to be felt unevenly across the globe, no matter how well-integrated world markets have become. Places dependent on housing construction, large capital goods manufacturing, exports, and speculative finance have suffered the most. The United States is generally acknowledged to be the pivotal country in the drama of the crisis. Not only is the U.S. economy the largest in the world, its exaggerated household debt, rampant financial speculation, and ballooning trade deficits were critical elements of the financial collapse that triggered the general downturn. But the geography of the crisis has yet to be explored more precisely at the subnational level. Much has been written about Wall Street, of course; as the world’s financial routing center, backed by the dollar as the global reserve currency and government credit markets of last resort, the Wall Street financial virus ended up infecting the entire global system (Shiller 2008, Read 2009, Sorkin 2009).

  • Private Equity Stakeholder Project (PESP) – Statement for the Record
    Private Equity Stakeholder Project (PESP) – Statement for the Record July 27, 2021 Hearing of the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Crisis Oversight of Pandemic Evictions: Assessing Abuses by Corporate Landlords and Federal Efforts to Keep Americans in Their Homes Chairman Clyburn, Ranking Member Scalise, and members of the Subcommittee, thank you for the opportunity to provide a statement regarding the March 25, 2021 hearing “Oversight of Pandemic Evictions: Assessing Abuses by Corporate Landlords and Federal Efforts to Keep Americans in Their Homes” by the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Crisis. My name is Jim Baker and I am the executive director of the Private Equity Stakeholder Project. The Private Equity Stakeholder Project is a non-profit organization focused on tracking the impacts of investments by private equity firms and similar Wall Street firms on ordinary people, including residents of apartments, rental homes, and mobile home communities. Since early in the pandemic, we have tracked eviction filings by private equity firms and other corporate landlords across dozens of counties in several states – Florida, Georgia, Texas, Tennessee, Arizona, and Nevada. What we have seen is striking. Private equity firms and other corporate landlords have filed to evict at least 75,000 residents since the Trump administration put a moratorium in place to halt evictions last September, which has since been extended by Congress and the Biden administration. These filings have disproportionately impacted residents of color, particularly Black renters. In some cases, corporate landlords have refused to accept rental assistance even after their residents have been approved for it. Tracking evictions by corporate landlords Since April 2020, the Private Equity Stakeholder Project has tracked eviction filings by private equity firms and other corporate landlords across dozens of counties in Florida, Georgia, Texas, Tennessee, Arizona, and Nevada.
