"HomeVestors® presented me with a single family property that was exactly what I spend tons of time looking to buy. This was an incredible time saver as I did not have to do the research!" Carl Rich Cincinnati, OH     Increase Your Investment Opportunities Through Relationships with HomeVestors Franchisees Year after year real estate proves to be one of the best investments in America, and it will likely continue to be for years to come. Supply and demand drive the price of real estate, and for the long-term future, it looks as though real estate prices will continue to increase. Higher land and development costs, and fewer available land tracts, especially in close proximity to job markets, create opportunities for real estate investments in the future. "I've been a real estate investor for 18 years and I have never found a better resource for finding good deals than HomeVestors®." Mark Blaue San Antonio, TX         Rehabbing is Big Business; and HomeVestors is Big in the Rehabbing Business Much of the market for single family housing units with less than 2,000 square feet of living area has shifted to the condo market, the mobile or modular home market, or to the outskirts of major metropolitan markets. As a result, professional home rehabbing as a business or investment has become extremely popular. During the past decade, scores of investors have turned the idea of buying and rehabbing (or recycling) older homes into a big business and HomeVestors of America, Inc. and its HomeVestors franchisees are one of the largest companies in the rehabbing business. The HomeVestors® Franchise System successfully taps into the discount and rehab house buying market. In 1996, HomeVestors of America, Inc. began awarding franchises to a limited number of qualified and dedicated investors in selected markets of the United States. The franchisees commit major amounts of capital to build a business of buying and selling houses. HomeVestors® franchisees spend many millions of dollars for a professionally-planned and executed advertising program that's designed to find houses they can purchase at a discount. The franchisees are also supported by a sophisticated, state-of-the-art research system that helps them locate hard-to-find owners of vacant, abandoned or deferred maintenance properties. These systems, along with others developed by HomeVestors of America, Inc., create a steady flow of house-buying leads for HomeVestors® franchisees. In fact, HomeVestors® call distribution system distributes more than 10,000 leads each month to HomeVestors franchisees. "HomeVestors® saves me a lot of time by finding homes and qualifying them as good potential buys. HomeVestors® is a quality organization." John Otteson Minneapolis, MN       Houses for Local Investors from HomeVestors Franchisees Most of the houses purchased by HomeVestors® franchisees must be professionally rehabbed before they can be rented or sold. However, there are only so many houses that a franchisee can rehab in any given year, and franchisees almost always have access to more properties than they can personally handle. Consequently, they look for local investors and professional rehabbers who are dependable and knowledgeable, and who are known for operating with integrity. The franchisees will discount and sell some of their properties to reliable local investors and professional rehabbers. In fact, in virtually every HomeVestors® market, a select number of local investors and professional rehabbers depend upon HomeVestors® as a primary source for rehab products and discounted houses. Once a franchisee develops a relationship with an investor, repetitive opportunities arise. When a franchisee develops a satisfying and long-term relationship with an investor, the franchisee is likely to sell more houses to the investor. While HomeVestors® franchisees are important to local investors and professional rehabbers, they in turn are important to the franchisees! By developing relationships with local investors and professional rehabbers, HomeVestors® franchisees are able to buy more houses than they can typically handle themselves and can therefore be more aggressive in pursuing their leads. This year, HomeVestors® will sell more than a thousand single family houses at a discount to local investors and rehabbers. By the year 2005, that number is expected to increase tenfold! If you're looking for houses to acquire and then rehab for resale or to lease, then your next call should be to your local HomeVestors® franchisee.
