The company has a great business model and mission statement. To put distressed residential properties back into productive use. To rebuild communities by filling the holes left by foreclosure. To create jobs and the opportunity for financial independence. To give hard-working Americans a new way to buy a house. To rebuild the American Dream. After some nights and weekends, the site is launched today. Check it out, you may find a house you like.
