COMMENT:


2.

We note your response to comment 2 of our letter dated October 22, 2012 and your revised disclosure.  You state that your acquisition of the specific foreclosed property is not probable.  In light of this uncertainty, please revise your disclosure to not identify specific properties that you may acquire if such acquisitions are not probable.   


RESPONSE:


We acknowledge the Staff’s comment and the Company confirms that we have revised our disclosure not to identify a specific property as such an acquisition is not probable at this time.  We have provided a copy of the revisions below as they now appear in the amended filing.  


Our plan is to successfully raise the Maximum Offering of $300,000; this will enable the Company to implement our business plan and purchase a property with 4-5 bedrooms.  We have identified an area within three miles of the Sonoma State University campus where several properties are available.  The properties range in price from $306,000 to $382,000 and they have three to five bedrooms. (Source: http://www.zillow.com/homedetails/Rohnert-Park-CA-94928)   Our goal is to purchase a property listed at approximately $344,000 and located within three miles from the Sonoma State University campus as an initial property.  Our objective is to find a home with approximately 2,600 square feet that is a two story structure with five bedrooms and three bathrooms.  Our goal is to purchase a home that is situated on a lot where it has the potential to add two more bedrooms.  We plan to finance a property, or one similar, by paying $204,100 for a down payment and closing costs and finance the balance with a lender.  Based on a purchase price of $344,000 we would be placing approximately a 59% down payment and financing the 41% balance with a lender.  This plan of financing is based on the Company raising $300,000 through our offering.   Please refer to section titled “Use of Proceeds” for the use of proceeds detail.  This level of raise also provides us with the funds to add the additional two bedrooms to a structure which we also have budgeted in the Use of Proceeds.  At this time the Company has no specific property for acquisition.  Therefore, a property as described above is not yet probable as the Company has not entered into any contracts or commitments related to financing or acquisition.
