Freedom Communities follows strict underwriting guidelines for the projects that it selects based on the acquisition power of the end consumer. Never will artificial financing or underwriting practices be used nor will consideration be given where end consumer demographics fall short of what is needed to make a project work. Principal Background Brent Hickey – Brent grew up in and still resides in Chandler, Arizona, a rural suburb of Phoenix. At an early age he learned all aspects of construction by working for his father’s construction company, Central Construction. Before graduating high school, he had worked on a crew hanging and taping drywall, pulled electrical wire, worked on a roofing crew for both residential and commercial buildings, as well as operated heavy equipment on construction sites. During his freshman and sophomore years, Brent attended Point Loma Nazarene College in San Diego, California during which he received an academic scholarship and was named the outstanding business student of his class both years. Brent graduated from Arizona State University in 1988 with a Bachelor of Science degree in finance with an emphasis on real estate. He was awarded the American Southwest Financial Services Award for Academic Achievement in Real Estate Finance. While attending ASU, Brent received his real estate sales person license for the State of Arizona, and later his real estate broker’s license. Principal Project Overview - Page 2 of 28 From 1989 through 1991, Brent managed and sold real estate assets for Meracor Development, MeraBank Texas, and AMRESCO, a subsidiary of Nations Bank. Brent was responsible for residential land for development and multifamily apartment projects in Arizona, Dallas, Houston and Austin, Texas, Oklahoma, Southern Colorado, and Las Vegas, Nevada. The total portfolio value based on the disposition values was in excess of $85,000,000.
