Franchises? ("We buy ugly houses")

[Steven Bruce]

Anybody have any info on starting out through a franchise. I was looking into the company we buy ugly houses and they have a franchise for real estate investing. Anybody ever work with them or know if a franchise is a good idea starting

I would think that $18,000 would be better spent starting on your own. There is a ton of information here to get you started, plus, plenty of people in your local area to help. I'm sure Sacramento has an investor group or two and you can join up with them to get going. That $18,000 will likely just be going toward the owner of that franchise company so he can buy another boat. Use that money to get you on your own path to your own boat...
