II. Executive Summary

The purpose of this business plan is to developing an innovative program that is set to educate

current home owners and new homeowners on the process of homeownership, and to implement

a plan/process to rid the housing market from one of the worst disasters in its history. Banks,

Lenders, Cities and States, Current Home Owners and individuals looking to own their first

home can benefit from this.

Services:

Homeowners Course: This course will provide the information and training needed for

individuals looking forward to own their home. This can be considered the “Drivers

Education” for home ownership. Process of purchasing a home, clearing up credit,

determining price range of home that the individual can afford, mortgage terms, and the

art of successful homeownership. Banks, Lenders and the Investors can use this program

to re-establish the confidence back into the market, because informed buyers/investor’s

are individuals who have taken the time to research the market and their finances to

prepare for the big step of home ownership.

The major benefits:

Return of consumer/market confidence.

Knowledgeable buyers can turn into knowledgeable investors.

The more individuals we put into homes can benefit everyone from current

homeowners (property value); banks/lenders (market confidence from Gov’t bail

out); cities/counties (property taxes, schools, the civil service and road

rehabilitation).

Course Material and School Program While the goal is to get individuals to take our

course to re-establish the confidence in the housing market another goal of ours is too

eventually incorporate our course information into high school and college curriculum.

There are many individuals who are leaving high school and college to begin renting their

first apartment and assume that owning their first home is exactly like renting an

apartment. Incorporating this course in to our schools curriculum can do nothing but help

the housing market. Major Benefits of this course:

If individuals are beginning to learn information about the housing market can

make a well prepare buyer and when they reach that time.

Individuals tend to educate themselves on home ownership while they are looking

for a home.

To return responsibility to the consumers and to create a new balance between the

lenders/banks and the consumers.

Business Description:

House 2 Homes Consulting Group (H2H) will provide an efficient, mutually beneficial

partnership between the new home owner and the banks/mortgage lenders. Once established in

the state of Ohio, House 2 Homes will expand regional and then nationwide, choosing the

locations that have been ravaged by foreclosures the most. Our concept stems from our

realization of six marketplace trends:

Lenders were taking advantage of less knowledgeable buyers, with bad loans.

Home buyers were not educating themselves enough on the process of home ownership,

most new home owners think that owning a home is just like living in an apartment.

Home buyers living beyond their means and purchasing homes that stretched their

budgets.

The banks and lenders taking advantage of the housing system.

Individuals will purchase homes with their hearts and not their budget.

HH House 2 Home

HH Page 6 of 22 House 2 Home

Individuals lack the knowledge and planning when they facing a financial hardship.

Business Timeline:

Year 1-4: Completely implement our marketing plan and decrease the foreclosure rate

from 10-30%. Organize and partner with the board of education to try and create a course

of study for students in high school; ages 17-22 is target market to start our foreclosure

prevention plan.

Year 5: To create the Home Ownership & Foreclosure Prevention Bureau and become

national. This would make it mandatory for potential home owners to take theses course

before they can buy a house. Create help for those who have take the proper steps and are

still faced with the hardship of losing their home (a type of foreclosure insurance).

Year 6-10: Reduce foreclosure to 20%-35% and focus on foreclosure prevention,

intervention and education.

Target Market

College Students First time home buyers Single males and females Single parents Low income families Individuals before they are ready

to buy Current Home Owners

Individuals ready to buy after

foreclose

Mortgage Lenders and Banks

High Schools & Colleges.

Advantages:

The re-establishment of the housing market will benefit banks and lenders for the following

reasons:

More home owners will increase property value.

HH House 2 Home

HH Page 7 of 22 House 2 Home

More home owner equals more borrowers; this program will make the borrowers

educated.

More borrowers equal more home builders borrowing to build more homes.

The lender or bank that commits to this could be the one that shows that they have

established the method that may save the housing market after the bail out.

Once the program is establish it will create a new market for educating new home owner

in high school and or college and we will establish the criteria for the courses.

More knowledgeable consumers equal more income for the lenders and banks.

Job Creation

Disadvantages:

Individuals, banks and real-estate agents may be reluctant to this transition because it

adds more time to the home buying process.

Transition may cause individuals to not buy as fast as they normally would.

This may be costly to lenders and banks but will be more beneficial in the future.

III. General Company Description

Mission Statement:

To restore the integrity and honesty back to the American dream of home owner ship by

fostering a new mentality to educate, inform and assist:

Educate- educate individuals on what it means to own a home, and how to review the

contracts that you may sign during the home buying process.

Inform- inform the individual on the different options that they have when owning a

home, let them know if it is in their best interest to purchase a home now or later.

Assist – provide assistance to the home owner, who may feel alone in the new stage of

home owner ship process.

Company Goals and Objectives

Our company goal is to decrease the foreclosure rates by at least 15%-50% in 5 to 10 years. We

plan on vastly education the home owner on the options and avenues they can take to help

themselves as consumers. Our company feels that the failure in the housing market is a collection

of individual problems, but they main problem is the lack of education of the new home owner.

Business Philosophy

The education and empowerment of home owner is our number one priority.

Industry

We will be breaking into the foreclosure and homeownership industry, I feel that for too long the

industry was built on taking advantage of misinformed individuals to make as much money as

possible. Our company will take advantage of this by focusing on the person instead of the profit,

HH House 2 Home

HH Page 9 of 22 House 2 Home

because the more people we have in homes them more we allocate begin to rebuild to our cities

and infrastructures, which will then help the community.

Legal form of ownership

Limited liability Corporation (LLC); Non-Profit and or Government Contractor

Consumer Benefits:

The benefits of starting this service will serve everyone well. To educate consumers will return

the confidence to the housing market. Lenders will be more confident in the consumers and their

ability to be a reliable client. For the consumers and lenders the benefits of this program could be

the beginning of the re-establishment of the booming housing markets; with more individuals in

homes property values will increase; and more home owners will benefit the counties and cities

that will see their tax revenues grow due to more home owners paying property taxes. The

growth in revenue for the cities from taxes can also benefit the local school districts.

IV. Services, Operations and Strategy

The type of product and service that the company will offer is a home owning consulting

program and service to the home owner to educate individuals on the entire process of

purchasing a home and financial literacy. The organization will consist of the following:

4a. Establish a home owner’s course this course will educate individuals on:

How to read a mortgage contract/agreement and the type of mortgages available.

http://mortgage-x.com/library/loans.htm

How to compute Interest Rates, the difference between fixed and adjustable rates.

What programs are available for new home owners FHA, VA, and RHS programs to

name a few.

The course will cover the maintenance that is necessary for the up keep of a new home,

which may include how to use a washing machine to how to use a dishwasher, or what

maintenance jobs in the homes are easy for the “ do it yourselfers” or if the job is one

that you should always leave to the professionals.

The type of insurance you will need for your home, appliances and your family insurance

and why.

New home awareness, not all new home owners knows what to look for, and what they

may need to ask a seller before buying.

Other services: Budgeting, credit cleaning and bill paying, Investment, Home

Inspections, Real estate services and Home refurnishing.

by securing Alliances and Partnerships with local government and Lenders. Our companies marketing

strategy will be one set up like a Presidential Campaign; we will saturate the market/ community with

information on our plan and vision. Our strategy is easy to incorporate in any location and can easily

be transitioned in and out of a location (and State to State).

opportunity, examples are below:

V. Present Need and Competition

Present Need:

If would have turned on your television in this past year you could not find a channel that was talking

about the banks failures due to the housing crisis. This is where House 2 Homes comes in; the biggest

factor in the failure of the housing industry was greed and lack of knowledge. House 2 Homes cannot

manage individual’s greed but we can inform the buyers. With the banks and mortgage companies

looking to get out of this current situation, I feel that this market his ready to be tapped into.

Why this service can be successful? The reason why this service can be successful is because if we

can guarantee to the banks and mortgage lenders that their individuals that use our service is ready to

be a home owner financially and mentally. My organization feels that the lending industry is prime

and ready to lend to an educated and informed consumer.

The other beneficiary from this program will be the county and cities who are missing on tax dollars

on these foreclosed homes. I feel that the cities will be willing to work with individuals who may be

interested in the homes that are being held by the cities due to the taxes owned on them, if we can get

these empty house filled with families.

Advantages:

Competition is not always a bad thing, the advantages to competition are:

Realization that there is a current market.

The availability of future partnerships.

Statistics already exist.

Disadvantages:

The disadvantages of the competition are as follows:

Already has name recognition.

HH House 2 Home

HH Page 15 of 22 House 2 Home

Already has a consumer base

Individuals are reluctant to use a new organization in comparison to one that they are failure

with.

With the competition below, they have name recognition and they have been in business since at least

2004, but the foreclosure rates have steady climbed. We know that we cannot prevent all foreclosure

because of individual’s wants, but where the competition is not taking advantage of their ability to be

proactive in this process. This is where we come into play; our plan is set to prevent foreclosure the

competition is currently set up to maintain foreclosure rates. Also the competition target market is

individuals who are almost in foreclosure or close to, and low income families/individuals, but our

plan is set to target current and new home owners, future home owners (students) and those in or

close to foreclosure.
