2 Executive Summary
Plan Summary
Cole Real Estate Holdings (“CREH”) proposes to bring together investors and
potential homeowners through lease-option agreements and commercial financial
institutions. CREH will seek out and contract to buy existing residential properties or
construct new residential properties. Investors will provide property financing with a
financial institution and the necessary seed money for down payments or
renovations.
This seed money will be the basis of the investment for which a fixed rate of return
will be paid to the investor. CREH and the investor will form a partnership via a
Limited Liability Corporation (“LLC”) to govern the relationship. CREH will manage
the advertising and marketing of the residence, screening and selecting of potential
applicants, provision of all property management services, and maintain the
administrative services for the partnership’s corporate company (including required
tax filings and accounting).
Targeted Market Segments
CREH will provide affordable, clean residential properties to interested tenants for
lease-option. The tenant will have the right to purchase the property after three years
at an agreed upon price. During the leasing phase, tenants will have an incentive to
maintain the property and improve their respective credit situation in order to
exercise the lease-option at the end of the term. At the end of the term, either the
property will be sold to the potential tenant and the partnership between CREH and
the investor dissolved, or the property will be re-marketed to a new tenant for
another lease-option.

CREH plans to appeal to middle-income families in the northwest metropolitan
Atlanta area (Austell, Mableton, Powder Springs, Smyrna, Marietta, Kennesaw,
Acworth, etc.) with incomes ranging from $40,000 to $80,000 per year. Pricing points
for residential properties range from $100,000 to $180,000. CREH plans to acquire
and lease out approximately 25 homes in the next five years. CREH’s mission is to
provide families with clean, affordable housing in good neighborhoods, financial
education to improve their future credit standing and financial condition, and the
ability to own a piece of the “American Dream”.
Investor Participation
CREH will provide the investor with a fixed rate of return on the seed money
invested, and make a fixed rate, tax-deductible donation, in the company’s name, to a
charitable organization designated by the investor. CREH’s management team has
extensive experience with property management, residential real estate acquisition
(new construction and renovation), and tenant lease-options. This is an excellent
opportunity for investors, potential homeowners, and CREH to combine strengths
and provide a win-win opportunity for each of the stakeholders, while contributing
to a worthwhile charitable organization at the same time.

3 General Company Description
Description of CREH Program
Cole Real Estate Holdings (“CREH”) will perform real estate services by purchasing
or building residential properties, specifically single-family homes, and offering lease-
options to potential buyers who want to own a home but may not have sufficient
creditworthiness to obtain a loan from a commercial financial institution. In order to
provide financing to the potential homebuyers, CREH will partner with investors
who will hold the underlying property mortgage while earning an attractive rate of
return on their investment.
CREH’s mission statement is to offer good people affordable housing and the
“American dream” of home ownership, provide investors with an equitable rate of
return, and maintain the highest standards of integrity for our customers and
shareholders, while giving back to the community through contributions to essential
charitable organizations. The company’s goal is to provide 25 families with homes in
the northwest metropolitan Atlanta area during the first five years of operation.
CREH’s primary business philosophy is to create a win-win scenario for people who
want to own a home and investors seeking an equitable return in the real estate
market, while benefiting local charitable organizations. The secondary philosophy is
to create and maintain excellent relationships with homebuyers, sub-contractors,
company employees, vendors, and the investors.
CREH’s specific target segment for this service and product will be the middle-
income segment and secondary market for high credit risk tenants seeking home
ownership. The target segments are more thoroughly described in the Marketing
Plan section of the business plan.
Home ownership, as compared to renting, has been on the rise for several years due
to historically low interest rates. Real estate in Atlanta has been on a progressively
PAGE 4

6. CREH Business Plan
Acquisition & Leasing of Residential Property January 2008
_____________________________________________________
upward trend, for the most part, for the past 15 years. During the same time,
metropolitan Atlanta has experienced rapid growth in the general population and a
continued expansion of residential areas. There are a significant number of people in
the middle-income strata that do not have an established credit history or are not able
to utilize commercial financial institutions for home mortgages. Particularly given
the rising home foreclosures due to sub-prime and interest-only lending risks not
properly managed, commercial financial institutions are tightening lending
requirements once again. Because of the tightening financial lending market, a
growing secondary market is becoming established where individuals are offering
private home mortgages to eager buyers. With the expectation for continuing job
growth in the foreseeable future and strong population growth in Atlanta, affordable
housing will continue to be in demand and so will the interest in home ownership.
CREH will primarily focus on serving middle-income Americans with good
employment prospectus. Many commercialized lenders, real estate brokers, and
sellers ignore the typical individuals with below average creditworthiness. CREH
will actively market and solicit these individuals as potential buyers of our homes.
Utilizing good customer service and fair practice dealings, CREH will build a
reputation within the community as a fair company with whom to conduct business
and will strive to provide “second-chance” opportunities to families who are willing
to work diligently to improve their credit and financial standing.
Corporate Description of CREH
CREH’s personnel bring together a unique combination of home construction,
renovation experience, and rental management, in addition to the relationship
network that has been established with financial institutions, real estate brokers, and
sub-contractors. CREH’s management team has extensive experience in managing
rental properties, real estate operations, and building relationships with the local
community.
CREH is a limited liability corporation formed under the laws of the State of Georgia
for the purpose of managing residential investment properties. CREH has also
acquired the necessary Employer Identification Number (“EIN”) from the Internal
Revenue Service (“IRS”) to act in compliance with all federal and state tax
regulations. The LLC will form the basis for establishing other business partnerships
PAGE 5

7. CREH Business Plan

_____________________________________________________
between CREH and potential investors for future projects. Each real estate project
will be a joint venture between CREH and a private investor, and a separate LLC will
be created to govern the project. CREH corporate will handle all administrative and
overhead operations related to the administration of the new partnership. CREH will
handle all accounting, federal/state reporting requirements, property management
activities, and all other related overhead operations of the partnership.

4 Products and Services
Product/Service Description
CREH will acquire single-family residential properties either by purchasing homes
and performing the necessary renovation procedures or constructing new homes.
These acquisitions will be made primarily in Cobb County or immediately
surrounding counties (Douglas, Paulding, Cherokee, or Fulton). Primary target
acquisitions will be distressed properties that are below market value or vacant land
that is ideally suited for constructing multiple single-family homes or possibly
townhomes. The pertinent feature for either acquisition method is to have homes
that are in certain, heavily concentrated, but desirable, middle-income communities
with a secondary target market for blue collar/semi-professionals. Specific price point
thresholds will range from $100,000 to $180,000, depending on the particular area and
amenities (school districts, access to major interstates, local infrastructure, access to
retail centers, etc.).
Once properties are ready for retail sale, a marketing and advertising campaign will
be put in place. Ads will be run in local publications, including the Internet, and
directionals placed at key intersections. The primary focus will be to inform the
community that a home is for sale with no qualifications necessary for home
ownership. Responses received to marketing efforts will be handled by members of
the management team who will inform the potential homebuyers of the home
purchasing opportunity and answer all of the buyer’s immediate questions.
The next task will be to execute lease-option agreements with potential homebuyers,
provide the appropriate property management activities to maintain the property,
and collect monthly leasing revenues. Typical lease-option agreements will have: (1)
the buyer provide 3-5% of the purchase price as a down payment, (2) monthly rent
prices set at fair market value plus escalation, and (3) a three-year term before the
buyer can exercise the option to purchase the home. Of course, each situation will be
PAGE 7

Acquisition & Leasing of Residential Property January 2008
_____________________________________________________
handled on a case-by-case basis and treated appropriately. For example, a potential
homebuyer that wants to put more than 3-5% down would be allowed to obtain a
monthly lease payment slightly less than market value. However, in no
circumstances will the company accept anything less than 3% down.
CREH Services
Property management activities will involve property procurement, property
advertising, managing the leasing-tenant relationship, maintaining and repairing
property, collecting lease payments, enforcing the lease, evicting bad tenants, and all
other responsibilities involved with managing the property during the leasing term.
The management team of CREH will administer the property management activities,
along with property procurement and property disposal. Administrative duties that
will be performed by the management team include all corporate governance of the
newly established partnerships between CREH and the investor. Several examples of
the administrative responsibilities are formation of an LLC in the State of Georgia,
including all necessary operating agreements and buy-sell agreements, appropriate
tax filings with federal and state entities, annual profit-and-loss statements for
investors, and dispersal of funds to investors.
Competitive Advantages
CREH has several competitive advantages in providing leasing options to the
middle-income community. First, CREH’s management team has broad exposure to
blue-collar sub-contractors that work with several construction companies that are
affiliated with the management team. These construction sub-contractors are
excellent potential customers for this particular product, not to mention excellent
contacts for other potential clients. In addition, employment history (and income) can
be more readily verified with these particular companies.
Another key competitive advantage is that CREH’s management team has executed
several lease-options and rental agreements with secondary creditworthy tenants
with extremely favorable results. By selective screening of these past tenants, the
management team has enjoyed profitable leasing arrangements while minimizing
PAGE 8

10. CREH Business Plan
Acquisition & Leasing of Residential Property January 2008
_____________________________________________________
adverse situations. Payment timeliness and duration of rental agreements were
above industry averages.
Lastly, the final key competitive advantage is CREH’s extensive network of reliable
sub-contractors, broad experience with rehabbing single-family homes, affiliation
with key construction companies, and a diversified management/advisory team.
Investor Participation
CREH will be partnering with investors who wish to financially participate in real
estate ventures without having to endure any of the hassles associated with the daily
management activities of rental properties. For the investor who participates in a real
estate partnership, CREH will provide an attractive fixed rate of return, manage the
property, prepare all required filings (including tax filings), and make a fixed rate,
tax-deductible donation, in the company’s name, to a charitable organization
designated by the investor.
In exchange for the investor securing financing for a particular property and
providing the required down payment for the mortgage, CREH will provide a
guaranteed annual rate of return of 12.0% on the investor’s down payment
investment. In addition, CREH will contribute a tax-deductible amount in the
company’s name equal to an annual rate of return of 2.0% on the investor’s down
payment to any charitable organization the investor chooses to designate. If the
investor does not wish to designate a charitable organization, CREH will select East
West Church, Inc. as its default charitable organization with which to make charitable
contributions. The established LLC governing the partnership will receive receipts
for the tax-deductible, charitable contributions and include in necessary tax filings.
Furthermore, if the investor would benefit from managing his/her personal income
tax liabilities by sharing in the LLC’s corporate losses for additional tax deductions,
CREH is willing to negotiate a mutually favorable arrangement with the investor for
sharing tax deductions in exchange for a lower guaranteed annual rate of return.
Additional information on the investor’s contribution and return on investment is
described in Section 8 – Financial Plan. An example of a real estate investment and
related cash-flows is shown in the Appendices.
PAGE 9

11. CREH Business Plan
Acquisition & Leasing of Residential Property January 2008
_____________________________________________________
During the lease-option period, CREH will handle all accounting and management of
the property, including activities such as making mortgage payments, performing
necessary repair/maintenance services, and providing annual profit-and-loss
statements to the investor. Investors will not have the burden of any related
management activities for the residential property or headaches of dealing with
tenants.
The partnership between CREH and the investor will terminate upon sale of the
residential property. If a potential tenant chooses not to exercise the lease-option
rights or is removed from the property, then CREH will determine if the property will
be sold or made available for another lease-option. The investor will have the right to
dispose of their interest in the property after the initial three-year term via the buy-sell
agreement that is in place between CREH and the investor. For the investor, the
combination of the fixed rate of return on initial investment coupled with the
potential to better manage annual personal income tax liability can provide a very
attractive overall rate of return on the original investment, while contributing value to
the investor’s preferred charitable organization. With the financial leverage of real
estate, investors will be able to put relatively little money down to partake in this
generally, low-risk and stable opportunity that will yield excellent returns. Over a
three year term, commercial financial institutions cannot guarantee such excellent
low-risk yields with such liquidity. Commercial financial institutions throughout the
nation offer an equally liquid investment opportunity in a three-year Certificate of
Deposit (“CD”), but could only offer an average annual return of 5.55% in 2007.
Charitable Organization Involvement
CREH also believes strongly in the importance of contributing to the community in
which business is conducted. CREH will contribute a tax-deductible amount in the
company’s name equal to an annual rate of return of 2.0% on the investor’s down
payment to any charitable organization the investor chooses to designate. If the
investor does not wish to designate a charitable organization, CREH will select East
West Church, Inc. as its default charitable organization with which to make charitable
contributions. East West Church, Inc., located in Marietta, GA, has positively
contributed to thousands of lives across the metropolitan Atlanta area for over two
decades (See www.eastwestchurch.org for more information). Contributions to
PAGE 10

ministries of East West Church, Inc. will be used to enrich additional lives and give
back to the community in CREH’s primary market of operations.

5 Marketing Plan
Socioeconomic Factors
Today, Atlanta’s metropolitan population has now surpassed 4 million people and
is projected to continue growing at a 2.8% annual rate (metropolitan Atlanta has
four of the ten fastest growing counties in the nation). Numerically, the 28-county
metropolitan Atlanta area is the fastest growing metropolitan area in the United
States. Median incomes have also been rising steadily over the past ten years
while inflation (nationwide) has been relatively stable at 2.4%. The combined
effect of these economic indicators has caused property prices in Atlanta to
appreciate more rapidly than the national average historically and at the same time
allow the new home market to expand voraciously. Despite all the bad press
surrounding the “housing slump” and falling home prices, metropolitan Atlanta
has maintained an average 1-year home appreciation rate of 2.6% (3Q 2007 report),
and the existing “buyer’s market” presents an opportunity to acquire valuable
properties below appraisal cost that will provide substantial equity and good
credit standing to CREH as the housing market invariably rebounds in future
years.
Employment opportunities will continue to increase in the metropolitan Atlanta area
generally fueled by the endless onslaught of new construction, supporting retail
services, and the growth of high-tech companies (Atlanta is home to more than 9,800
technologically related companies). Atlanta is one of the largest metropolitan areas in
the country with a below average cost of living standard (compared to other similarly
sized metropolitan areas).
Socioeconomic factors are another reason for the growth in Atlanta (and the rest of the
country). Unfortunately, more and more households are being operated by single
parents. BusinessWeek (Oct. 2003) claims that half of all households in America are run
by single parents. As more married couples divorce and remain single, they create
more demand for housing. In addition, more individuals are purchasing second
PAGE 12

14. CREH Business Plan
Acquisition & Leasing of Residential Property January 2008
_____________________________________________________
homes, partially as investment properties and partially as vacation homes. Lastly,
Hispanic populations are exploding at an astounding rate. Hispanics are now the
largest minority in the United States. Atlanta has a rapidly growing Hispanic
community. All of these factors contribute to sustained housing demand in
metropolitan Atlanta.
Low interest rates have spurred increases in home ownership over the past several
years. Most people who have acceptable credit and can qualify with commercial
mortgage companies have taken advantage of the opportunities in the residential
housing markets and purchased their own home. The rental market has been stagnant
for the past three years because of the vast transition from apartment dwellings and
rental properties to new residential properties (single-family, townhomes,
condominiums, etc.).
For families that do not have acceptable credit, the most viable alternative is living
in some form of apartment complex. While apartment complexes usually have
several advantages to owning a home in suburban Atlanta, they do not allow
quality family living, personal space, expanded living quarters, garage and storage
options, privacy, etc. These factors are compounded when couples start a family
and have greater needs for more space. Home ownership is superior when
considering these factors because apartment living is not conducive to this type of
lifestyle. Given that the cost of living in an apartment is only slightly less
expensive than owning a home, more and more families are looking to home
ownership as a viable alternative.
The current state of the economy is a big reason why CREH management believes
the time is right to create opportunities for potential homeowners. Interest rates
are still at 40 year lows, but inflation, which has been very modest for the past few
years, will begin to accelerate with the high cost of oil (and related energy indices)
and sustained economic recovery and related job growth. The Federal Reserve has
just now begun to increase the federal funds rate on a consistent basis, and lending
rates will undoubtedly increase.
Fortunately, as interest rates rise, the current flood of potential homeowners will
decrease as more and more people become ineligible for loans because of higher
house payments that decrease cash flow and increase the debt/income ratio. This
means the demand for rental properties will increase as more people turn to lease-
PAGE 13

15. CREH Business Plan

_____________________________________________________
options over typical financing arrangements for home ownership. Ultimately, this
puts pressure on the rental market and allows for higher rental rates and at the
same time, higher lease-option payments.
Product Specifics
Product Features & Benefits
CREH is offering a unique product/service for the family that cannot meet the
necessary criteria for a commercial mortgage. The opportunity, as seen by the
customer, will be the potential for home ownership while the benefits include pride of
ownership, financial security, providing for the family, and inclusion in a
neighborhood. CREH will provide clean, affordable housing in desirable locations,
plus follow-up services, such as designated sub-contractors for repairs (at
homeowner’s expense), information on improving creditworthiness, and lenders who
provide favorable no-doc loans.
Features of the CREH services include clean, affordable housing in thriving
communities, or in essence, the idea of owning a part of the “American dream” is the
main benefit for the potential tenant. CREH will provide the temporary gap between
what a family can qualify for today from a commercial lender, and what they may
qualify for in the future. In addition, lease-options will provide the benefit of
capturing the increased value of the home’s equity (assuming that real estate prices
continue to appreciate at historical averages) while providing a proven, positive
payment history that will serve as an excellent credit reference upon applying for a
home loan.
Customers
The specific target customer group will be blue-collar/semi-professional middle-
income families who have steady employment and desire to live in the northwest
metropolitan Atlanta area. CREH is specifically targeting families who earn $40,000 -
$80,000 per year and want to live in the specified suburban areas of northwest Atlanta
(Austell, Mableton, Powder Springs, Smyrna, Marietta, Kennesaw, Acworth, etc).
PAGE 14

16. CREH Business Plan
Acquisition & Leasing of Residential Property January 2008
_____________________________________________________
More generalized customer groups will include single parents, the Hispanic
community, local industry workers, semi-professionals, and young families.
Competitors
There are many real estate investors in the Atlanta metropolitan area performing
various aspects of real estate activities. Many investors attempt to purchase homes at
below market cost, perform renovation activities, and then sell the properties or rent
them out. Some investors do perform lease-options on a more regular basis. Current
research through the two major real estate investment groups (Georgia Real Estate
Investors Association and Real Estate Investors of Atlanta) suggests that there are not
many investors who are currently providing leasing options to specific population
segments in northwest Atlanta. Furthermore, given the magnitude of existing home
sales and new home construction in the metropolitan area along with continuing
influx of new residents into Atlanta, there will not be a shortage of clientele or potential
customers for this type of service.
CREH’s competitive advantage lies in the unique balance and experience of the
management team members and the extensive network of connections throughout the
blue-collar community via the real estate construction companies that CREH interacts
with. One competitive disadvantage is that land acquisition is becoming more and
more expensive in the key target market areas and the cost of new homes is increasing
to keep pace.
Niche
CREH will concentrate on purchasing/building homes in the $100,000 - $180,000 value
range, providing short-term lease-options to blue collar, middle-income families
(earning approximately $40,000-$80,000) in the northwest suburbs of Austell,
Mableton, Powder Springs, Smyrna, Marietta, Kennesaw, and Acworth. These lease-
options will be offered with certain down payment amounts and typically require
three years before the option can be exercised. In addition, CREH is dedicated to
working with potential tenants to increase their awareness of what actions they can
take to improve their chances of successfully qualifying for a commercial mortgage
when the lease-option expires. The additional assistance will be provided in the form
PAGE 15

17. CREH Business Plan
Acquisition & Leasing of Residential Property January 2008
_____________________________________________________
of reviews of personal credit history, positive actions that improve credit scores, debt
management plans, and assistance in establishing a household budget. This is one
example of CREH’s commitment to customer service for this product.
Strategy
CREH’s marketing efforts will be focused on small, local publications (Marietta Daily
Journal, etc.), Internet advertisements, directionals at heavy traffic intersections, and
word-of-mouth referrals. These mediums have been found to have the most impact
per advertising dollar and concentrate the advertising on the local population segment.
No advertising will be done with larger publications such as AJC because of the lack of
specific geographic location and past experience has shown that the cost-to-benefit
ratios have faired poorly. Likewise, there will be no advertising through radio or
television mediums.
Once a house is nearing completion (new construction or renovation), “lease to own”
signs will be prominently displayed in the immediately surrounding areas. In
addition, word will be spread through local personal networks and ads will be placed
in the local papers.
PAGE 16

_____________________________________________________
6 Operational Plan
Acquisition of Residential Properties
New Construction
For existing home purchases, CREH will have a multi-step process that is described
below. For new homes, CREH will review and acquire land to support construction of
multiple homes (typically between 3-6 homes). CREH will sub-contract construction
to D&H Development Group, LLC (a construction company based in Powder Springs,
GA). Construction lead times will take approximately 4-6 months. Once construction
is complete, investors will be brought in to obtain permanent financing. Advantages
of new construction are instant equity (typically 15% between appraised value and
construction cost), low operation and maintenance expense for initial five-year period,
and ownership of a known product (no hidden defects).
Existing Residential Property
CREH will use real estate agents, wholesale real estate investors, foreclosure notices,
and point leads to locate and bid on potential real estate properties. CREH has existing
relationships with multiple agents and investors that will allow access to many
potential properties. In addition, these agents/investors will be supplied with the
appropriate criteria regarding type of dwelling and certain home characteristics,
location, condition of property, and price points so that efforts are concentrated on just
the properties that are potentially viable.
After reviewing and inspecting the potential properties, CREH’s acquisition team will
calculate renovation estimates, potential rent and market value, monthly cash flows,
and time to bring to market. Multiple properties will be compared on both a
quantitative and qualitative basis. Qualitative criteria will include access to major
highways, employment centers, educational facilities, status of neighborhood, etc.
PAGE 17

19. CREH Business Plan
Acquisition & Leasing of Residential Property January 2008
_____________________________________________________
Once CREH has identified the best properties, CREH’s real estate agent will present
offers to the sellers (at designated price points). All contracts will have the option to be
transferred to future investors. Estimated cycle time from start to finish is 45 - 60 days
(assuming a 30 day closing window).
Before closing takes place, CREH will coordinate with sub-contractors for repairs and
renovations, including obtaining competitive quotes for certain operations. CREH will
schedule sub-contractors so that the time spent on property repairs is kept to a
minimum. CREH will obtain a temporary loan to purchase the property and finance
all repair expenses. CREH will begin making repairs with the expectation that all
repairs will be completed within 12-21 days (depending on the nature and extent of the
renovation process).
After completion of renovation, investors would acquire permanent financing for the
residential property. Investors would need to be pre-approved with certain lenders
and have appropriate funds on hand for required down payments. Upon completion
of major repairs, advertising and marketing efforts will begin in the immediately
surrounding areas and in the appropriate local publications.
Legal Environment
There are different legal aspects to purchasing, leasing, and selling real estate
properties in the state of Georgia. Most are minimal intrusions and do not present a
significant risk to doing business for CREH or the investors.
First, purchasing and closing the properties will be handled by an experienced team of
real estate agents, brokers, financiers, and real estate attorneys that CREH’s
management and advisory team has developed long-standing relationships with over
the years. The investor will have no legal liabilities during this part of the process
other than the financial mortgage obligation. CREH will have a fiduciary
responsibility for any down payment received from the investor and a contractual
partnership agreement will address this responsibility along with other terms of the
relationship.
Fortunately, most of CREH’s renovation activities will not require many legal
compliance efforts. For instance, most home renovations will be completed without
PAGE 18

20. CREH Business Plan
Acquisition & Leasing of Residential Property January 2008
_____________________________________________________
requiring permits from the local code enforcement departments. Those that do require
permits would be obtained by the licensed sub-contractor performing the repair
services. For new construction activities, all licenses and permitting would be obtained
by CREH’s builder (D&H Development Group, LLC) and included as a part of the
construction services and priced accordingly.
Leasing the properties will entail potential exposure from tenants who injure
themselves on the property. CREH would be responsible for all injurious claims
resulting from maintenance issues on the property. However, the possibility exists for
tenants to bring frivolous lawsuits resulting from tenants injuring themselves on the
property. Standard property insurance policies provide $5,000 to cover these types of
claims and can be tailored to provide more coverage. Investors may wish to consider
purchasing an umbrella liability policy that would provide additional protection from
lawsuits associated with accidents on rental properties. Naturally, the expectation is
that potential tenants who are interested in purchasing the home, upon exercising the
option, would have little vested interest in suing the seller (who happens to be their
financier and best credit reference). Based on experience, CREH’s management and
advisory team believes the investor’s exposure to lawsuits of this nature are extremely
minimal.
Selling the property to the potential buyer involves almost zero legal responsibility
other than selling at the terms as agreed in the contract between CREH and the buyer.
All accounting and taxation responsibilities are solely the responsibility of CREH, not
only at the time of sale, but for the duration of the partnership between CREH and the
investor. The only other legal risk is the financial impact that could arise if the federal
government enacts tax legislation at some point in the future that adversely affects real
estate investment properties, which would unlikely be enacted without some lead time
to react accordingly.
Personnel
CREH personnel consist of the management team of Garrett Cole, Doug Cole, and
Jonathan Cole. These three personnel members combine as the general contractor,
property manager, investor relations manager, and corporate governance of CREH.
Accounting and property renovation services are assigned to the team of sub-
PAGE 19

21. CREH Business Plan
Acquisition & Leasing of Residential Property January 2008
_____________________________________________________
contractors with whom CREH has extensive relationships. All operational decisions
are handled by CREH and the CREH management team assumes ultimate
responsibility for accomplishment of goals.
Payment & Accounting Policies
The leasing tenants will have a strong incentive to pay the monthly lease payment on
time because of the direct correlation of timely payment and credit history that will
enable the lessee to purchase their home. In addition, CREH’s management team
places a lease “discount” clause in the lease-option agreement that stipulates the
leasing rate is based on receiving payment by the 5th of the month. Any payments
received after the 5th are not “discounted”. In all cases, the discounted rate is the
actual fair market value as determined by CREH. The non-discounted rate is typically
$75/month higher than the discounted rate.
CREH will also convey the importance of timely payments by the tenant so that CREH
can be a credit reference for the tenant when they apply for a mortgage with a
commercial financial institution at the end of the lease term. For tenants who fail to
make a payment by the 5th of the month, CREH will follow-up with a phone call and a
personal visit. If payment arrangements have not been made by the 10th of the month,
then CREH issues a certified letter demanding payment within 5 business days and
prepares to file an eviction notice with the local sheriff’s office to have the tenant
evicted from the premises by the 25th of the month. If the tenant is evicted, then the
marketing and advertising operations will begin along with any necessary clean-up
activities.
While no one can guarantee if a particular tenant will have to be evicted, CREH uses
extensive research and creditworthiness information to minimize the possibility of
being forced to evict a tenant. Background checks and thorough personal interviews
are the core component of CREH’s application process.

25. CREH Business Plan
Acquisition & Leasing of Residential Property January 2008
_____________________________________________________
8 Financial Plan
The CREH concept is broken down into just a few different categories on the business
model pro-formas. Primary revenues will be derived from monthly lease obligations
and capital gains from the exercise of lease-options. Primary expenses will be the
associated mortgage, property operation and maintenance expenses, investor
dividends, and charitable contributions. Overhead expenses will be approximately
10% of the monthly lease income.
Appendix A shows a projected pro-forma for a sample residence including income
statement, balance sheet, and cash flow. The projections are based on the assumption
that the investment property is leased beginning July 1, 2008 and sold on July 1, 2011.
Estimates shown in the attachments are based on actual and projected expenses
associated with a particular investment property in Powder Springs, GA, and CREH
believes these estimates are valid for application to multiple properties based on first-
hand experience and comparisons from other real estate investors.
As expected, the income statement shows an operating loss for all three years of
operation until the lease-option is exercised and the property is sold due to
depreciation on the property. The operating entity for CREH and the investor will be
an LLC. Each year, the LLC files federal tax form 1065 (which is actually a partnership
federal tax return) and pays no taxes; however, all losses/gains of the LLC are a pass-
through to the LLC partners’ federal tax return. The cash flow statement reveals a
slightly positive cash flow because of the depreciation expense associated with the
property (depreciation expense is a non-cash item).
Based on the pro-forma projections, when the property is sold after three years the
investor would receive their initial investment amount back. For the investor, the cash
flow distributions would be a combination of the fixed return on the initial investment
of 12.0% each year (in this example, based on a $15,000 investment, the annual return
would be $1,800) and annual deductions of 2.0% of their initial investment (in this
example, based on a $15,000 investment, the annual deductions would be $300) based
PAGE 24

26. CREH Business Plan
Acquisition & Leasing of Residential Property January 2008
_____________________________________________________
on the charitable contributions made in the company’s name as designated by the
investor. The pro-forma projections are based on expected results, but actual figures
will vary based on individual property results. CREH will handle all tax preparation
for the LLC partnership and will issue the investor a K-1 at the end of each tax year to
include with the investor’s personal tax filing.
The investment timeline is the main identifiable risk for investors, and it is primarily
limited to the tenant’s exercising of the option. For comparison purposes,
approximately two-thirds of lease-options ARE NOT exercised. If a three-year lease
option expires, then the investor would have two options available: (1) exit the
agreement with CREH by selling the property to CREH at an agreed upon price as
stated in the Buy-Sell Agreement, (2) continue the agreement with CREH and enter
into a lease-option with a new tenant or the existing tenant for another three years so
as to continue receiving the fixed return on investment. If the investor exits the
agreement in this case, they will be given their initial investment and any outstanding
return, and the partnership would be dissolved. If the investor chooses to continue the
agreement, the partnership will continue into another three-year lease-option, and for
investor exit options going forward, the rules for proceeding would be the same as the
initial formation of the partnership. However, CREH will have sole discretion and
control of the property no matter what the investor chooses to do.
If a tenant is evicted or leaves before the lease-option has expired, then CREH would
expeditiously seek another tenant and exercise a new three-year lease option. The
investor’s exit options are two fold: (1) if within the three-year term of a lease-option
that the investor agreed to begin, the investor desires to exit the arrangements with
CREH, then the partnership would be dissolved (would require a 90 day notice) and
CREH would purchase the property back from the investor at the original sales price
and return the investor’s initial down payment less closing cost (investor loses any
accrued fixed returns for that particular year as well) and (2) if after the initial three
year term the investor desires to exit (would require a 90 day notice and would only be
done on the anniversary of the agreement), then CREH would purchase the property
from the investor relieving the investor of their mortgage obligation with no penalty
on fixed returns. The last option strategy would be a mutual arrangement by CREH
and the investor to sell a property because of unforeseen events or bad timing (e.g.,
after four months a tenant has not been located for a particular property), in which
case, the property could be sold and the investor and CREH would dissolve the
PAGE 25

27. CREH Business Plan
Acquisition & Leasing of Residential Property January 2008
_____________________________________________________
partnership. All governing arrangements would be spelled out in the Buy-Sell
Agreement.
All cost of refurbishing the property for a new tenant (under the second option) would
be borne by CREH, as will all capital expenditures incurred during the leasing option
period (e.g., replacement of HVAC, roof, appliances, etc.). CREH will assume all risk
with operational expenses of the investment property, capital expenditure risk, finance
risk, and tenant risk. Operational expenses include such items as property taxes,
maintenance expenses, utilities, and all other expenses that are incurred during the
management of the leasing period. Obvious risks under this area are property tax
escalation and the abnormal cost of routine maintenance expenses (e.g., repairing
toilets/plumbing, exterminators, wear-n-tear items, etc.). Capital expenditure risk
includes the cost of replacement and or repair for all major capital replacement items
(e.g., roofs, HVAC systems, flooring, appliances, etc.). Finance risk is associated
primarily with the interest rates on the secondary financing (which are typically
indexed to a variable rate) which could increase substantially during the leasing
period. Tenant risk involves potential cost items associated with the activities of the
tenant such as repairing property damage, cost of evictions, marketing/advertising
cost, etc. These risks are assumed by CREH as incentives to choose quality residential
property assets and maintain the properties accordingly in addition to selecting
creditworthy tenants who possess the potential to exercise their lease-option and
purchase the home.
