I used a local (Dallas, TX) franchise/affiliate of Entrust called IRA Plus Southwest to act as my account administrator.

I can only vouch for the Chicago one but it is a franchise company with 120 locations http://www.handymanmatters.com/handyman-matters-locations.htmlWe used William Paid for rent collection so it is deposited in our account and our mortgages are automatically drafted.

I would not be surprised if this list correlates strongly with the location of available Homevestor franchises.

I have many time heard him referred to as a Rich Dad advisor, but never associated with the Rich Dad Education (very loose term) franchise.

That said, I've got my eyes on a few franchises as well, but they all require capital and I don't have much.In the near term, I'm focusing on my MBA (not sure if that's the right call or not given the cost of an MBA and the additional debt burden I'll have to take on), but I don't yet have a solid grasp on how to move forward with a new business either.

Many have been guruized, non-compete agreements are not really applicable in RE, such ideas are adopted from other business arenas, for example in a franchise where I have a protected territory, you can't have a protected territory in RE so much unless it's under the umbrealla of a comapny and I've never heard of that.

We were just involved in a California Franchise Tax Board matter where the FTB was hitting this issue hard.

In CA, the LLC's franchise fee to the state STARTS at $800/year, and can go over $10,000 per year if the GROSS (yeah, NOT net) income exceeds certain levels.

If you look at successful franchise offerings, you can't go wrong with McDonald's Hamburger University model!

@rob i worked doing tax prep for a well known franchise once, what you are saying is very true the reality i saw of people earning 15 000 usd a year and getting 8 000 in refunds is really unsettling,its by no means fair i would point out that i still however prefer the life that i have mapped out for myself and would rather be a productive member of my community and have the ability to earn my money than have a government cap on it.
