Theresa,I spent the past couple years looking into franchising but have decided to go with real estate.

They educate investors on the process of self-directed investing or assist in setting up single-member LLCs for either “check-book control” or to purchase a franchise or ROBS (Roll-Over Business Startup).

In some cases franchised concepts want crazy amounts of liquidity.

The franchises have classes, but so does the local association, and the escrow offices.

While franchising is part of their concept along with other restaurant brands it doesn't mean they have only franchised locations.4 levels of security:Corporate guarantee: BESTSubsidiary : For example corp Applebees but only 100 stores over 2 states and not all of them.

I have been listening to the podcast already for a few months.What is your take on the Home buying franchises such as We Buy Houses etc.?

I was able to save up enough $ from a few deals and my job, found a partner, and bought an "Ugly" Franchise.

Make sure you investigate the franchise taxation implications of using this type of arrangement.  

I gave myself a time limit, I want to cut my hours back at my J.O.B. at 7-Eleven, the reason I am just cutting my hours back instead of quitting is the young man who owns the franchise is a very nice young man, I have been there almost 5 years and there has been a lot of people coming and going (employee wise), and I have seen their work, in fact there are a couple of others who should consider working somewhere else but oh well lol, its hard to find good help in any job, and one of the job requirements is to stock the cooler, I get 3 days off every other week (the schedule rotates, even though I work 4 days a week, I get the same days off every other week, one week I have M,T and Wensday off.
