Real Estate Investing Franchise

[Anthony Hill]

I have been searching for a good start in Real Estate Investing. I keep coming across these Craigslist ads about Real Estate Investing Franchises. Most of these companies want you to bring a deal to them and they'll give you a "cut".

Does anyone have any experience with these approaches in Real Estate Investing? I am very doubting of these ads, as most of them come across as the typical "Guru" type advertisement, fancy cars and beautiful women.

So I realize that my initial gut instinct is that they are a scam, but does anyone have any recommendations on finding a reputable company like these?

I have not had much luck in finding a Mentor in the Tulsa, Oklahoma area, although I am hoping to meet up with a couple BP Members soon when I return home.

If anyone has any tips, I would appreciate your input.

Giving someone a "cut"  of a deal they bring is common in the industry. However it is safest between those who already know each other. I too would be leary of that kind of deal with a stranger over craigs list.
