Business Overview

Trio provides Canadians with the opportunity to make pooled investments into income producing U.S. residential real estate. These investments consist mainly of newly constructed (5 years or less) single family homes; primarily from new home construction developers, including Pulte Group (NYSE: PHN) and Meritage Homes (NYSE: MTH).Trio may make other strategic real estate investments, including investments in other real estate related funds or trusts.

Opportunity Highlights

Trio vs Mortgage:

-Ability to select a home and lease finance most similar to an auto lease with the same flexibility use as an owner then decide to purchase or move-on.

-Can qualify for Trio when not mortgage eligible as Trio makes exceptions for self-employment, tenure of career history, application of new income and credit impacts due to foreclosure, short-sale, job loss, reduction in income, business failure, etc.

-Down payment is not required for Trio; costs to enter a Trio agreement amount to 2.5% of the home price vs. minimum government sponsored mortgage of 7.5% of the home price.

Trio vs Renting a Home:

-Consumer lives like an owner and pays a fixed lease payment, plus takes on the responsibility of an owner during their lease. Leases range from one to five years enabling a family to know their near term housing future.

-Provides consumer with the right to purchase their leased home at any time during or at the end of their lease agreement.

-Provides a mortgage at the inception of their lease term that Trio uses to finance the home up front. This mortgage is assumable by the consumer under the terms of their Trio lease. We call this an OwnOption Mortgage. Trio is the only source for OwnOption Mortgages in the U.S.
