Fairway America, LLC (Fairway), a Portland OR based real estate asset based advisory and investment firm, played the lead role in consulting, advising and guiding the structure and formation of the Distressed Real Estate and Mortgage Fund I, LLC (DREAM or the Fund), based in the greater New York City metropolitan area. The Funds Manager, DREAM Capital Management(DCM) is owned and operated by long time Tri-state area residents Robert Napolitano and Todd Royer.
Mr. Napolitano has been passionate about real estate since his youth, learning from his immigrant father who came to the United States and began investing in real estate more than 50 years ago. My father drove a bus in Manhattan for more than 40 years, said Napolitano, and he saved and skimped to buy his first rental house. Over time he bought and sold many of them and the financial independence he achieved doing it made a great impression on me. Napolitano used these formative experiences as a motivation to create a career in the real estate business, with a focus on real estate finance.
Sensing trouble in the mid-2000s during the subprime heyday, Napolitano decided to spend time learning the more technical legal side of the real estate business in anticipation of a wave of defaults. The practices that were going on those days in the mortgage business made me think there were going to be lots of problems with foreclosures based on the crazy loans being made, and I wanted to learn how to bring value to the market in the coming downturn, which I felt was inevitable, said Napolitano. He spent time focusing on the foreclosure market and began to craft the strategy that today is the foundation of DREAMs investment focus. I believe there is a long term opportunity in helping people solve difficult problems that arise as a result of lifes circumstances, and do well financially, in the process, for ourselves and our investors. I also felt a pooled investment fund was perfect for us to be able to execute on this vision.
Napolitano first ran into Fairway at the American Association of Private Lenders (AAPL) conference in Las Vegas in the fall of 2012. When he saw a panel session featuring Fairways CEO, Matt Burk, he knew right away these were the guys to help him realize that vision. The depth of their experience and comprehensiveness of their approach were just what I was looking for, said Napolitano. I had been trying to figure out how to put DREAM together and saw that these were the people to truly help me. Having now gone through their complete fund launch consulting engagement, I am ecstatic with that decision, as I have a complete and thorough knowledge and understanding of exactly what we are doing as we launch our fund. Fairway has been invaluable in helping us get this off the ground.
DREAM has also engaged Fairway to handle the ongoing back-end administration for all of the Funds activities. Having Fairway on our team going forward will make a huge difference to us as we grow our Fund, said Royer, who will head DREAMs ongoing operational functions. Their processes, systems, and support give us a great deal of confidence that will help us inspire that same confidence in our investors as we move forward. We can focus on raising capital and finding investment opportunities that meet our criteria and know all the important fund administration details are being handled professionally by an experienced and capable group of people. DREAM is launching in August 2014 and accepts accredited investors only.

La Jolla, CA (PRWEB) December 03, 2013
Award-winning software company, Systemates Inc., announced today that Andy Ashton, Director of Construction and Renovation Services, at Ensign Services recently spoke at the Construction Owners Association of America Leadership Conference. Construction owners from around the country attended the conference at Torrey Pines in La Jolla, California October 30- November 1. Ashton was part of a roundtable discussion where three different owners discussed how they implemented a construction project management solution and how those solutions are currently helping their programs.
Many of the key ideas touched on during the discussion were the unexpected benefits that came from implementing a project management solution. Ensign Group, a group of long-term and short-stay rehabilitation centers, teamed up with Projectmates construction project management software for capital improvement projects at 116 skilled nursing and rehabilitative facilities across the country. Previously, they relied on Excel spreadsheets, emails, and conference calls. Frankly, we were very disorganized in terms of how we managed our construction renovation process, said Ashton. Projectmates has not only structured communication and collaboration but, has allowed Ensign Group the ability to reduce our change orders by 90% just by being more organized.
Since implementing Projectmates, Ensign Group has also observed a reduction in time and paperwork with electronic submittal and approval processes, better document management and tracking, easier access to files for those involved in the project, accessibility from the iPad, and easy modifications and customizations. Claims Aston, Weve only had our system in place for four months but it has completely transformed in that four month period the way we go about our business.
Integration of Projectmates data with their accounting software, MS Great Plains, is planned to be completed in next few weeks. This will allow the contractors to enter their invoices online in Projectmates, reviewed by the project team and automatically sent to their Accounting system for processing payments. This is going to save so much time in double entry. This is huge for us! says Ashton.

Kevin Howard Real Estate, the 19th largest self-storage owner/ operator in the United States, is a cell tower landlord, receiving supplemental revenue in the form of cell tower rent s from their telecom tenant.

Commercial property owners leasing their land for cell tower placement are realizing, with the help of Vertical Consultants, significant increases in the cell tower rent they receive and in their overall cell tower lease value. There are property owners across the country who are not receiving fair value for the use of their land, and it is our job to change that.
Since inception, Vertical Consultants has become a catalyst for positive change in the telecom industry. In 2012, the telecom consulting firm increased property owners cell tower rent by an average of 142% and in just over one year, recovered over 100 years worth of unpaid cell tower rent and expenses, collectively. These statistics provide testament to the value of that Vertical Consultants can provide.
