1. Lessons from a Large Operator

• Apartments are a consumer service business trapped in a capital intensive industry

• Residents expect CONSISTENCY from professionally managed firms- which can only be delivered through process mgmt

• Apartments are an EMOTIONAL service, with untapped potential– Staff attitude and camaraderie are essential– Segmentation, customization, and personalization can be tackled after consistency has

been achieved

• Transparency and Visibility are Critical- Existing and New customers, expenses, people, capital spend

• Resident Screening & Selection is the Moral Imperative of Property Mgmt

History of Apartment Investment & Management Company (“AIMCO”)

Initial Public Offering in 1994 with $315 million gross asset value Rapid growth followed by an integration period.

Doubled in size every 18 months from 1994 – 2002 through several large portfolio acquisitions. Rationalized portfolio and operations, selling more than 350 properties worth over $4.5 billion from

2001 – 2006 and substantially exiting the third-party property management business.

Built operating infrastructure to take advantage of scale and support growth.

Operating platform stabilized by 2006, positioning AIMCO for growth- decline in values since 1Q07 has led to a rapid sell-off as stock price has fallen faster than private market value of US real estate

AIMCO Operations Philosophy

The apartment management industry has been undergoing a transformation from a cottage industry to a scale driven, professional business system that is customer-centric, driven by rising customer expectations.

AIMCO Operations has been at the forefront of this transformation, led by a team that is grounded in other geographically distributed consumer businesses.

AIMCO has refocused its Operational Philosophy into five major Components: Customer Driven - based on a solid foundation of consumer research, we focus on

the entire customer experience, measure it, and seek to differentiate ourselves beyond the physical quality of the property, in order to achieve a relative price premium.

Forward Looking & Data Driven - we measure, in detail, to manage our four pipelines 1) revenue, 2) expense, 3) people, and 4) capital spend.

Scale Driven - we seek to leverage our size into scale driven advantages, and to transform site operations from mini transaction processing centers to places of personalized experiences.

People Driven - selection, hiring, on-boarding, training, development, performance management, and succession planning is itself a set of processes that are developed, measured, and managed.

Product Driven - curb appeal, unit turn quality standards, capital investment, financial management, construction services, and the redevelopment process are all areas that receive intense focus to ensure that we are competitive on the basis of product quality and amenities.

Improvement to Resident Quality

AIMCO’s first step to improve operations began with improving resident quality.

Neighbors are an essential ingredient to successful communities. Employ an unyielding system relying on financial stability to judge

resident quality. Results from Improving Resident Quality2003 Current

How Customers Search

• Our research validated a need for a differentiated web experience, which drove our investment in a new property website platform– Usage of ILS is very high: 76%– Usage of Search Engines is also high: 71%

– 68% started their search online– After online search,

• 40% - word of mouth• 32% printed resources• 31% phone calls

– Community web site: 67%– Craig’s List web site: 43%

– 3 clicks/3 bricks: Consumers average 3 web site and 3 community visits

– The web experience must be “real”, as if I was there, no glamour views that may disappoint

Efficiencies from ScalabilityInternal Scale vs. Vendor Scale

Transformation of communities from mini-transaction processing centers to a focus on revenue enhancing customer relationships- 2/3 of Front office time spent on administrative tasks

Community Support Centers in 2008 handle e-procurement and other administrative tasks

Centralized procurement increases standardization across Aimco Call Center to manage all leasing inquiries to Aimco

Missed calls have declined from 25% to <5% Media purchasing and development has been centralized

The national media group executes all large scale web and print buys

Goal is to eliminate the back office from Aimco’s leasing centers

Utilization of Technological SystemsBuild vs. Buy Decisions

PROFIT Revenue Management System is a heavily data-driven tool used to accurately price rents through:

Forecasting inventory based on historical season trends. Upcoming lease expirations for the specific property. Forecasting of market demand metrics, including Aimco’s own lease pipeline

(inquiries, visits, etc.).

PROFIT (Pricing Revenue Optimization and Forecast Information Tools) – AIMCO’s Revenue Management System

• Historical detail to the lease level is also available for the Property and ROC teams. (each dot is a lease)Aimco has strategically invested in technological systems which have SIGNIFICANTLY IMPROVED operating efficiency

Highest Emphasis Placed on Customer Experience

We involve our residents in improving the customer experience through several feedback systems.

On-line surveys are offered to residents at: 1) move-in; 2) two days after move-in; 3) 120 days after move-in 4) completion of each service request (Customer Experience Measurement).

Results are immediately available for staff review and impact the variable compensation program.

Retention has improved 3% from ’03 to ’08 A key attribute is TRANSPARENCY of the Customer Experience Net Promoter Score is our primary customer experience metric

2. Raising Revenue in Rent Constrained Markets• Ontario rent regulations are similar to several US cities (San

Francisco, Northern NJ, Alexandria VA). You are not alone!

• Utility Rebilling- a form of “Unbundling” and Risk Transfer– Does result in about a 30% reduction in usage – very “Green” – Direct Bill vs. RUBS based on physical plant and age– Electric, Heat (Oil, Nat Gas, Electric), Air Conditioning, Hot Water,

Trash and Pest Control have all been “unbudled”– Vendors in US are ISTA, NWP, RealPage– Must be included in the rent statement to be truly effective, does

require regulatory authorization, sometime regulation– Represents $1,000/unit/yr change or 10% change in total expenses– Success depends on customer type—seniors will pay up for stability

Page 27: Presentation to Ontario, CAN Apartment Association

2. Raising Revenue in Rent Constrained Markets• More Unbundling- Represents 4% of Rental Income

– Comes with Danger of Being “nickled and dimed to death”• Effective with Cost Conscious Consumers- backfires in luxury/senior segments

– Renter’s Insurance- required liability insurance – Surety Bond vs. Security Deposit– Fee Income- application fees, upfront admin fees, late charges, lease

cancellation fees, month to month fees, transfer fees, lost key fees, pet rent, pet deposits, parking costs,

• Ancillary Revenues- 1% Opportunity & Growing– Communications- Internet, Phone/Wireless, Television– Vending– Laundry and/or Washer/Dryer Rentals

Page 28: Presentation to Ontario, CAN Apartment Association

2. Raising Revenue in Rent Constrained Markets• Revenue Management Systems- the Biggest Opportunity

– Still only operative on 10% of US Apartment Rentals– Lift of 2-5% documented with available vendor systems– Requires a compatible Property Mgmt Operating System– Requires a documented Revenue Management Process

• Centralized Staff of some sort• Collaborative decision making—but OFF SITE• Data Driven based upon historic conversion ratios• Requires interaction of internet media sources• Assumes most demand is sensitive to price—but that’s exactly what good

segmentation should reduce!

– Enables price segmentation as to move-in date, lease duration, and unit amenities

– Next Wave will layer in resident credit stability

Page 29: Presentation to Ontario, CAN Apartment Association

3. US Major Apartment Product Types

• Urban- Brownstone, Mid and High Rise– Long Useful lives among major building systems– High land values based on density, difficulty to replace– Expensive/difficult to Renovate Common area elements- elevators, HVAC,

Plumbing– The Neighborhood is the lifestyle amenity

• Suburban- Garden Apartments- predominate US Housing Apartment Style given reduced US population density– Clusters of 10-12 unit apartment buildings- 300 unit avg size– Easier to bite off Cap Ex- roofing, siding, HVAC units, hot water– Dependent on the automobile– Growing trend is along metro rail lines, universities, hospitals– Many Common areas amenities- club houses, pools, etc.
