@Dinesh Kakumani if you can pm me with more details (area, budget, etc.) I can keep an eye out for you. 

I use Southern Title & Abstract and they've been great.

@Anthony Joseph Candelario welcome!  I was also an engineer and invested in real estate on the side.  Eventually gave up engineering completely and am now a full time investor in Orlando.  Any help I can provide feel free to reach out to me.  Good luck!

Hi Ali.  I moved down from Canada last year with my family to the Orlando area to invest in real estate full time.  I had the same dilemma regarding how I was going to find deals, fund them, etc., so I simply purchased a HomeVestors franchise which kind of got me going right away.  Anything I can do to help, let me know.  Best of luck with your plans, sounds exciting!

@Mark K. I've been a franchisee since August have been extremely happy with my decision so far.  2 of the houses I've purchased so far have been because the sellers knew to look for the "Ugly Houses People."  Of course you can build yourself like many other successful investors have, but if you want to expedite the process, I can't think of a better way.

@Jasmin Ortiz-Campbell I started back in August and probably like you, was hesitant.  But I've had a really great experience so far.  I'm happy to share further if you'd like.  Good luck!

@Ram Venk have you considered am e2 visa?

@Joe Berkowitz co-working office space was a serious consideration for us also when determining which franchise to invest in.  We looked into a Venture X franchise in Orlando but ultimately decided to pass because of the larger investment required compared to Homevestors.

@Rosanna Tran I was going through a similar dilemma when I decided to make the move from Canada to Florida.  I was intending to start my own business and wanted to be investing in real estate full time but wasn't sure if I should make the franchise investment or just go at it myself.  I really wanted to get going fast and figured with the system already in place, the support to answer all my questions quickly, and the brand power to back me up, purchasing a franchise seemed like a better option.  I'm about 8 months in and am VERY THANKFUL I went the franchise route.  It's been a great ride so far and I don't think I'd be anywhere close to where I'd be right now had I went at it alone.  Having said that, there are many in our market who are doing really well on their own... I'm not saying it can't be done.  But like I mentioned, I didn't want to take the time to build from scratch.  Regarding Ned's "slimy" comments, I respectfully disagree and agree with Patti 100%.  Even if I wasn't a Homevestors franchisee, trademark law is there for a reason.  Homevestors is just following it.
