Reality is its not all "rosy" anywhere in this industry, but for me the amount that I pay is more than with the benefits it provides, and apparently also for 700 other franchisees.Yes, by all means, go ahead and create a company on your own, I'm not saying you shouldn't, and I'm trying to imply that HomeVestors, or any other franchise for that matter, is appropriate for everyone.  

Too many of the large trainers are training for the large concencous not your individual need.

I didn't mean to imply that you can't do so here, and mine do cash flow fine.

The program they sell implies that it will accelerate you to your success, essentially get rich quick, all the while he says "there are no shortcuts to success".

I fit does not mention that you need to get an agreement in writing clarifying the situation.As for the MLS and whether a FSBO works or Flat Fee it depends.Here in Georgia you have to spell out in the listing agreement what services you will provide for what fee.This came about when the vulture flat fee services became just an MLS dumper.The seller would contact the flat fee person for help once they landed a buyer with or without a broker.The flat fee broker wanted much more money for additional service or would not respond at all.This left the buyers broker with an implied client relationship with the seller helping them out on their side as well as their buyer client.So the field was leveled to where the flat fee company had to spell out exactly what they were doing for the fee.Sometimes if you have a really great property priced cheap it won't matter.Many times however if there is say 10 properties a buyer can show and 20 listings dealing with a FSBO or flat fee is not as desireable.In that case upping the co-op to 3,3.5,or 4 will motivate.My personal view on this is most buyers agents are new to the business.They have a big split with the broker.They are motivated by more money for less work and not the opposite.In our mls there are clues to know it is flat fee.

And from what I have heard from others is a dynamite public speaker and trainer. 

That said, here in Frederick, a property owner can pull their own permit, but it implies that they are physically performing the work.  

LOL).All kidding aside (because I know Troy), I don't like the word "hustle" because to me it implies taking more than you give in value.

Saying I sell houses implies I'm a realtor and want to list itSaying that your intentions are to 100% buy THEIR house and mailing to 300 people is very misleading IMO .. 

Purchase another motorcycle because I miss my last motorcycle and get my MSF trainer certification.
