FJ Progressive

THE TEAM

Construction/Real Estate Lead and Owner Frank Cefaratti
Frank has over 16 years experience in a multitude of businesses; in the service industry as well as real estate market. Alongside with family, he has been through a complete construction and operation process of a state of the art full service car wash, auto detailing, and café/c-store. Besides running all day-to-day operations for 15 years, Frank was a key player to the acquisition of an additional 2 self-serve car washes. Frank managed a complete restoration project on both facilities and managed all three businesses together creating a very successful business venture; concluding with the sale of all 3 locations in one large real estate transaction. Frank also holds his Colorado real estate license and has been a key component to several closings as well as creating a property management company that he tied in with his snow removal business; ultimately creating a service industry empire. Frank recently sold his snow removal and property management business and now focuses on his new beliefs of acquiring stable assets with a strong positive cash flow. Frank has a strong belief in helping others and giving back, as well as bringing the proper people together to create very successful relationships both personally and in business.

Creating Success Together means that we take our knowledge and create deals that work for all parties involved. Good opportunities might be out there, but the great ones, you need to create! Working together with like-minded people is how we create successful relationships, businesses and investments. Working as a team, and having open communication about our goals in a particular property is what we are all about.

As you will read, we at FJ Progressive want to promote change for the good! Being Progressive means just that, whether it is building a section 8 apartment complex that is LEED certified, giving some attention to a neglected property to increase its cash flow, or creating a win/win situation for a distressed seller. We want to be that change you are looking for in a business. We as a company are consistent in the work we do and how we deliver. No matter how big or small the investment, we handle it with integrity. "The supreme quality for leadership is unquestionably integrity. Without it, no real success is possible, no matter whether it is on a section gang, a football field, in an army, or in an office." Dwight D. Eisenhower

INVESTMENT HYPOTHESIS

Establish Target - Focusing on the end goal gives us a clear picture, which allows us to act quicker and more efficiently.
Develop a Market - Where is the market going? What area and financial market do we want to be in? Let 's evaluate it and take the time to get to know it so we can be confident it will meet our end target.
Locate opportunities - Our target and our market becomes the opportunity! With our team now able to proficiently locate, analyze and acquire stable properties to help insure our return on investment, which is a pertinent concern.
Negotiate and structure the transaction - When we are at the point of negotiating we are able to take the steps above as our outline. We make our team and the seller aware of our desires and capacities which keep everyone accountable. Negotiating is the key to the success of the asset. If analysis unveils a situation of concern, we immediately share our finding with all parties and allow the seller to offer a solution. (This works in the best interest of the investor and our end goals).
Finalize the transaction - Through past experience and numerous transactions; we have created a working relationship with all key players and necessary associates for a smooth and quick closing.
Manage the asset - by running our own property management company for several years we understand what makes a property and the operations of that property run smoothly. Education, professionalism and accountability are pertinent to property management and to our entire business.
Exit Strategy - This is probably the most important part of the hypothesis. We believe each opportunity should have a target. We also know that we cannot see into the future and dictate events that could happen. When we have a plan on how and when to dispose of an asset, we are prepared for anything. We do not neglect or lose focus on any of our projects, thus maintaining full control and optimum performance at all times.

BRIEF HISTORY & INVESTMENT EXPERIENCE

FJ Progressive Properties specializes in "finding the deal" we strive to find bargain properties and turn them into accelerated cash flowing opportunities. Through our unique education, we have learned and come to understand the real-estate market. By having a preplanned goal of what we expect and want out of a particular investment, we sift through many opportunities to find assets that take us straight to our criteria and our end goal. We take time and energy to find that that perfect "deal" for all parties involved. Based on our philosophies, morality, and our principles as individuals and as a business when we "find the deal" which is usually a distressed financial situation for another person involved, we offer a win/win situation for all parties.

Denver's Union Station - once the transportation gateway to the west - recently received the approval to be renewed as a contemporary vision of urbanity and clean transportation. The Union Station Alliance's wining proposal is a LEED Gold restoration that will be anchored by a 130-room hotel, a retail center, public plaza, and a train hub connecting Amtrak with regional trains and buses. The location of the station, smack in the heart of Denver's popular LoDo neighborhood helps weave together all the elements needed for a thriving downtown renaissance.

Denver International Airport flydenver.com

Denver International Airport is the collective vision of the communities and governments of the Denver metro area. Every feature of the airport is designed to make it the most efficient, attractive and customer-friendly airport in the World! Its airfield, with its "flow - through" operation and multiple runways, provides high capacity and few delays, ranking Denver at the top for on-time performance. Runways do not intersect, and they are far enough apart to support simultaneous arrivals and departures. Air traffic flow can be easily switched from one runway to another, depending on wind direction or traffic volume.

DIA in planned to handle 1.2-million aircraft takeoffs and landings and more than 100-million passengers per year.
Current projections show the airport exceeding 650,000 takeoffs and landings and 50-million passengers before 2010.
Denver International Airport was located in a largely rural area so that residential development could be planned and would not encroach upon airport operations.

Economic Impact

The economic activity associated with the airport goes beyond the more than 30,000 workers at DIA and the businesses that are directly related to airport operations. The airport supports the state's essential tourism industry as well as businesses that are dependent on air transportation for just-in-time shipping or frequent corporate travel.

DIA's total economic impact in 2003 was $16.7 billion, including 193,229 jobs, $6.9 billion in wages, and 3.7 billion tourist dollars for lodging, food, entertainment, and retail sales. Because passenger volume is growing and additional air carriers have started service at DIA, the current impact is even more significant.
DIA anchors what is now metro Denver's fastest-growing region. With an annual economic impact of $15 billion to metro Denver - increasing to $85 billion by 2025 - the DIA region will account for 30 percent of all metro area employment growth.
