I have been considering a Homevestors franchise. Any thoughts?

There will be many opinions on this, and of course I speak only for myself. I have been in real estate for many years, in several different areas. I have been up, and I have crashed and burned (2008). I have also watched homevestors very closely for many years, since 1998 in fact. I made the decision last year to purchase a franchise, and ‘opened my doors’ October 1st. To say I am happy is an understatement. You get so much more than even I ever realized, from support and training to easier access to financing and a ‘family’ of other fellow franchisees that all love to help each other. Yes, you can invest in real estate without homevestors and be successful, thousands do. But for me, it was the right choice by far.
