AMERICAN HOMEOWNER PRESERVATION
A W I N N I N G S O L U T I O N
American Homeowner Preservation generates high-yield
distressed mortgage investment opportunities which
positively impact families and communities. By
purchasing sub-performing mortgages at significant
discounts, AHP can provide above-market financial
returns to investors. Simultaneously, struggling
families receive transformative modifications to
stay in their homes with affordable payments and
discounted principal balances.
AHP offers membership interests in series LLCs which
are collateralized by first mortgages secured by real
estate. The debt is often purchased at 50% or less of the
current value of the underlying properties. The
offerings are often geographically diverse, frequently
including assets from many states of the union, from
California to New York and Alaska to Puerto Rico and
many places in between. Assets are purchased into
American Homeowner Preservation Trust, of which U.S.
Bank is the Trustee. Resolutions are achieved by
motivated professionals working at a branch office of
Security National Servicing in the same location as AHP.
AHP was founded in 2008 in Cincinnati, Ohio with a
mission of helping homeowners at risk of foreclosure.
Over time, AHP evolved into an investment fund
manager purchasing first mortgages secured by homes
in low- to moderate- income neighborhoods as well as
loans with issues such as litigation, compliance or
documentation. By executing a socially-responsible
strategy focused on the fringes of the market where
asset prices have not been distorted by loose-money
policies, AHP is able to offer investors
a potent combination of security, high-yields,
and social impact.

MORTGAGE CRISIS
In 2007 the U.S. economy entered a mortgage crisis causing panic and
global economic turmoil. Americans lost their homes in numbers far
outweighing the capacity of institutions to respond, even with
assistance from the federal government.
Unprecedented monetary measures were taken by central banks
across the globe which pushed rates and bond yields to record lows.
Consequently, anyone seeking safe returns within income
instruments has been left with vehicles offering paltry returns.
DECLINING YEILDS
Over the past 30-years, bonds delivered investors strong annualized
returns averaging over 8%. However, the 10-year Treasury yield that
topped 15% in the early 1980s now offers around 2% in 2014. With
yields at these levels, options for investors seeking reliable greater
returns in their portfolio have been limited. Further, in an
environment of consistently low yields, financial institutions face
increasing pressure to produce results their investors want.

THE PROBLEM
3 | American Homeowner Preservation
AHP HAS DELIVERED DOUBLE DIGIT RETURNS
At American Homeowner Preservation, our solutions driven
culture and transparent strategies leave us well equipped to
address the various challenges the income markets have
presented us.
AHP’s heavily collateralized, non-levered issues generate the
returns many investors have needed. AHP enables investors to
earn returns comparable to the equity markets within a stable
and risk- averse model. However, providing a solution for the
anemic fixed income markets is only part of the solution.
PRESERVING NEIGHBORHOODS & COMMUNITIES
Among the most daunting byproducts of the economic crisis is
drastically diminished home values. 4.4 Million Americans have
lost their homes, but even more have held on hoping that a
solution could materialize. AHP is that solution for these
families. Providing innovative strategies and consensual
solutions, affords the opportunity for homeowners to keep
their homes. Without the efforts of our in house teams,
homeowners and families would lose, and neighborhoods and
communities would deteriorate. AHP utilizes resources to
preserve neighborhoods and communities and provides help to
those who have been hardest hit by the economic crisis.
SECURE YOUR FUTURE
At AHP we say you can “secure your future by securing
someone else’s.” This is one of things that makes our solution
so powerful. We strive to achieve win- win- win solutions where
Investors win – Homeowners win – Lenders win. We know that
profitability and doing right can go hand in hand. The
ramifications and benefits of managing our organization in this
manner have allowed us to provide lenders and investors with
a viable alternative in a market where the social impact and
purpose of any organization’s actions can often be overlooked.

FAQ
Q When I Invest In AHP, What Do I Own?
A When you invest in an opportunity with American Homeowner
Preservation you are purchasing a membership interest in one of
AHP’s series LLCs. The series is the beneficial owner of mortgages
and real estate managed by American Homeowner Preservation
Trust.
Q How Long Are the Investments For?
A Within each series there are 3 classes from which investors may
choose. These classes are defined by the projected terms of one,
two and five years. One year is designated by Class A, Two years by
Class B, & Five years by Class C.
Q Where Does AHP Fit Into An Investment Portfolio?
A AHP is an alternative investment that integrates well with fixed
income allocations. The characteristics of AHP’s offerings include
predictable steams of income with the benefits of above market
returns. Given the volatility of the bond market and the overall
downward trend of conventional fixed income vehicles AHP offers a
compelling fusion of returns and stability to any investment
portfolio.
9 | American Homeowner Preservation
Q How Is Revenue Distributed?
A Revenue is distributed on the 10th of each month. After
payment of expenses and subject to any reserves, revenue is
distributed as follows:
1. Interest to each Class, based on investment balance for
each investor on the final day of the prior month.
2. After Interest are paid to each Class, any Excess
Revenue is distributed as return of Principal. Class A
Principal is returned first and, once fully retired, Class B
Principal is returned and, once fully retired, Class C Principal
is returned. Thus, prepayment of some or all Principal prior
to the end of expected term is possible for all Classes.
3. Once all investors have received payment of Interest and
return of their principal, AHP is entitled to any residual value
in the assets held by each Series. Thus, AHP's incentive is
back-loaded and maximized by distributing Interest and
returning Principal to investors as promptly and efficiently
as possible.
Q What Are The Risks?
A Mitigating risk for investors is a top priority at AHP. The series
is non-levered, backing investor principal with real assets under
management. Further, the portfolio is absent of securities subject to
market volatility and systemic risk. AHP is structured to hold all
assets in American Homeowner Preservation Trust, of which U.S.
Bank is trustee. If necessary, U.S. Bank could appoint a replacement
manager in the event AHP is unable to continue management.

Watching your property value plummet 85% and at the same time learning
you are being laid-off from your job of nearly 20yrs would be hard for many
of us to imagine. In 2002 this exact scenario played-out for Steven Gilbert, a
hard working delivery driver attempting to secure his future by investing a
rental property. At the time, the $200,000 price tag seemed to be a bargain
in what was a heady real estate market, and in what seemed like a great
investment.
Values had plummeted in this neighborhood and, by early 2014, the home
was only worth $32,000. This sounds extreme, but this collapse is common
in low to moderate income neighborhoods throughout the U.S. Left with few
options Steven began seeking bankruptcy protection in an effort to hold on
to the property he had worked so hard to buy.
Steven fell behind on the mortgage payments as he could not find a new job.
However, in 2013, he had obtained an insurance license and was again
employed. He applied for a modification through Ocwen, his servicer,
but was denied.

Steven was initially skeptical, as he thought our offer sounded "too good to
be true." However, he was able to verify with Ocwen that we now owned his
mortgage, so he took the deal. The deal we made here seems charitable, but
if you look at the numbers, our first year return was greater than 50% and
the next 20+ years are forecast at over 30%. Fantastically, our returns are
often best with a consensual modification such as this, as we save the time
and costs of foreclosing.
