INTRODUCTION
 
This Information Statement is being furnished pursuant to Section 14(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act ”) and Rule 14f-1 promulgated thereunder, in connection with proposed changes in a majority of the membership of our board of directors (the “ Board ”) as a result of the Share Exchange transaction as described below.  The date of this Information Statement is January 19, 2009.
 
This Information Statement was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on January 19, 2010 and is being mailed to our stockholders of record as of January 19, 2010. The mailing date of this Information Statement will be on or about January 19, 2010. On the tenth (10th) day after this Information Statement has been distributed to the stockholders, the director designees named herein will be appointed to the Board (the “Effective Date”).
 
Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement whereby we acquired 100% of the outstanding securities of AMP in exchange for 1,063,636 shares of our common stock, all of our directors resigned as members of our board, with such resignation to be effective on the Effective Date.  In connection therewith, our Board appointed Steve Burns as a director and as Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer and Secretary of the Corporation.  Additionally, our Board nominated Kelvin D. Moore and Maggie M. Moran to become Board members as of the Effective Date.  As of the date hereof, Mr. Moore has not accepted such position.  Upon the closing of the Share Exchange, Mark DeFoor resigned as our president, chief executive officer and treasurer.
 
No action is required by our stockholders in connection with this Information Statement.  However, Section 14(f) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14f-1 promulgated thereunder, requires the mailing to our stockholders of the information set forth in this Information Statement at least ten (10) days prior to the date a change in a majority of our directors occurs (otherwise than at a meeting of our stockholders).
 
THIS INFORMATION STATEMENT IS REQUIRED BY SECTION 14(F) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT AND RULE 14F-1 PROMULGATED THEREUNDER IN CONNECTION WITH THE APPOINTMENT OF OUR DIRECTOR DESIGNEE TO THE BOARD. NO ACTION IS REQUIRED BY OUR STOCKHOLDERS IN CONNECTION WITH THE RESIGNATION AND APPOINTMENT OF ANY DIRECTOR.
 
SHARE EXCHANGE TRANSACTION WITH TITLE STARTS

On December 28, 2009, we entered into and closed a Share Exchange Agreement with the shareholders of AMP each of which are accredited investors (“AMP Shareholders”) pursuant to which we acquired 100% of the outstanding securities of AMP in exchange for 1,063,636 shares of our common stock (the “AMP Acquisition”). Considering that, following the merger, the AMP Shareholders control the majority of our outstanding voting common stock and we effectively succeeded our otherwise minimal operations to those that are theirs, AMP is considered the accounting acquirer in this reverse-merger transaction.  A reverse-merger transaction is considered, and accounted for as, a capital transaction in substance; it is equivalent to the issuance of AMP securities for our net monetary assets, which are deminimis, accompanied by a recapitalization. Accordingly, we have not recognized any goodwill or other intangible assets in connection with this reverse merger transaction. AMP is the surviving and continuing entities and the historical financials following the reverse merger transaction will be those of AMP.  We were a "shell company" (as such term is defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) immediately prior to our acquisition of AMP pursuant to the terms of the share exchange agreement.  As a result of such acquisition, our operations our now focused on the real estate debt restructuring industry. Consequently, we believe that acquisition has caused us to cease to be a shell company as we no longer have nominal operations.

In addition, on December 29, 2009, subsequent to the acquisition of AMP, the Company entered into an Agreement and Release with Mark DeFoor, a significant shareholder of Title Starts pursuant to which Mark DeFoor agreed to return 3,105,000 shares of common stock of Title Starts to Title Starts for cancellation and has provided a full release of Title Starts in consideration of the transfer of all securities of Title Starts of Kansas City, LLC, the Company’s former wholly owned subsidiary, and all assets relating to the online abstract business.
 
General Business Summary of Title Starts

Advanced Mechanical Products, Inc. (“AMP”) designs, sells and delivers modified automobiles with an all electric drivetrain and battery system that allows the vehicle to perform just like a vehicle with an internal combustion engine (“ICE”), but with no emissions or burning of fossil fuels.  Using its drivetrain system, the Company converts an existing vehicle to an all electric vehicle instead of one that burns gasoline. Historically, the Company has converted a Saturn Sky, Saturn Aura or Saturn VUE provided from a buyer or a distributor by removing the vehicle’s engine, gasoline tank and drive train and replace them with an electric motor, batteries and traction control components.  The buyer provides either a new or a used vehicle to AMP that will be modified with the slip-in AMP electronic powertrain. The vehicle is then returned to the buyer for use. The product is warranted with a 3 year or 36,000 mile warranty.
 
 
Our core goal is to establish and to build our brand as the brand that consumers immediately think of when they hear the words “Electric Car”.  We intend to develop our brand using the good reputation of the vehicles we convert to electric.  These vehicles will all ready have established themselves as high quality, stylish, safe, desirable and market leading vehicles in their ICE configurations.  We intend to leverage the countless hours and dollars spent by the OEM to build and market these proven vehicles.  Specifically, we have established relationships with automotive suppliers for sub-components that are designed for existing hybrid vehicles.  Our relationships allow us to purchase drive motors, electric power steering, electric air conditioning and our power electronics at a basic cost without having invested a massive amount of time and capital to independently develop such components.
 
 
We will also incorporate the latest battery, motor and software advances available at the time.  We intend to be maintain several relationships with various suppliers and will not be locked into any one battery, motor, software or electronics vendor.  To the greatest extent possible, we will use components that are being mass produced.  We believe this will enable us to offer vehicles at mass produced pricing.  The first application of our Powertrain is for the 2007, 2008, and 2009 General Motors Saturn Sky.


VOTING SECURITIES
 
Our authorized capital stock consists of 425,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share and 75,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share.  As of the date hereof, we have 1,269,274 shares of common stock issued and outstanding held by approximately 33 stockholders of record and 8,375 shares of Series A Preferred stock issued and outstanding.  Holders of Title Starts’ common stock are entitled to one vote for each share on all matters submitted to a stockholder vote.  Holders of common stock do not have cumulative voting rights.  Therefore, holders of a majority of the shares of common stock voting for the election of directors can elect all of the directors.  Holders of the Title Starts’ common stock representing a majority of the voting power of Title Starts’ capital stock issued, outstanding and entitled to vote, represented in person or by proxy, are necessary to constitute a quorum at any meeting of stockholders.  A vote by the holders of a majority of Title Starts’ outstanding shares is required to effectuate certain fundamental corporate changes such as liquidation, merger or an amendment to Title Starts’ articles of incorporation. Our board of directors will have the right to determine the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions, including voting rights, dividend rights, conversion rights, redemption privileges and liquidation preferences, of each series of preferred stock, without shareholder approval.

The Board of Directors is comprised of only one class. All of the directors will serve until the next annual meeting of shareholders and until their successors are elected and qualified, or until their earlier death, retirement, resignation or removal.  Officers are elected annually by the Board of Directors (subject to the terms of any employment agreement), at its annual meeting, to hold such office until an officer’s successor has been duly appointed and qualified, unless an officer sooner dies, resigns or is removed by the Board.
