From Tax Liens to HomeVestors: How Asim Ghani Built a Real Estate Empire Flipping homes!In this episode, we sit down with Asim Ghani, owner of a HomeVestors franchise in Massachusetts and New Hampshire—the largest home-buying company in the U.S., known for the iconic “We Buy Ugly Houses” brand. Asim shares how he got his start with tax lien certificates and transitioned into full-scale real estate investing and franchising. After getting licensed in both NH and MA, Asim developed a strategy for agents to double-dip: earn commissions on the front end and win listings on the back end.We dive into the marketing that works (yes, mailers!), why consistent lead generation is non-negotiable, and how small tweaks can lead to big paydays—like his first $55K deal. He breaks down smart renovation strategies for maximum return (hint: think front doors, landscaping, and kitchens) and covers key exit strategies including wholesaling, assigning, flipping, and whole-tailing.If you're a real estate investor or agent looking to level up, you won't want to miss this episode.

In this episode of Life and Listings, we welcome V, a dynamic real estate investor, entrepreneur, mom, and health enthusiast from Houston, Texas. V's story is one of resilience, determination, and growth—both in business and personal life. With a background rooted in real estate, she shares how she's built a successful career while maintaining her values and prioritizing family. V kicks off the conversation by discussing her mindset, explaining how she never lets negativity get in the way of progress. Her approach is one of tenacity: if there's a challenge in front of her, she finds a way around it. This attitude has been key to her rapid success in real estate, where she initially started with the goal of creating more time for her daughter, only to find herself immersed in the entrepreneurial hustle. She admits that she fell into what she calls the "entrepreneur syndrome," where she constantly chased the next big goal, but eventually realized she had to refocus her priorities. Now, she is more intentional about balancing business with the real reason she started—her family.   “You're on family time. And it's a really important thing for me just to kind of like, refocus on what I've got going on so I can be present.”   In this episode, let's discuss: Overcoming Negativity: V shares her mindset of never taking "no" for an answer and always finding a way through challenges. Health Focus: V's fear isn't dying but dying from illness, especially diseases like Alzheimer's or cancer, which have impacted her family. She discusses her proactive approach to health, including yearly 5-day water-only fasts and other wellness practices. Real Estate Journey: V started in real estate with the goal of gaining more time with her daughter. She talks about the early days of her business, the bumps along the way, and the importance of her support system. Entrepreneur Syndrome: V describes how she initially fell into the trap of chasing the next big thing in business, but how she's since redefined her priorities, putting her daughter and family time first.

It's a franchise of the real estate investment company, HomeVestors of America. A recent investigation by the non profit newsroom ProPublica found that a number of the company's franchises ….including ones right here in LA…have taken advantage of people, oftentimes the elderly, to make a deal. Today, we chat with one of the reporters on the story should you – or your abuelita – ever have to deal with a house flipper.   Guest: Anjeanette Damon, reporter for ProPublica  For more, check out Anjeanette and her team's story here.

I would bet you've seen a billboard or something advertising HomeVestors. You might not know that name, but you know the phrase, “Ug buys ugly houses.” That's HomeVestors and today we have a HomeVestors investor joining us to talk about what it's like. You might want to do this! Dean Bendall has been a friend of mine for at least 15 years. A few years ago he called me and asked about HomeVestors. I referred him to another friend of mine, they spoke and Dean signed up. In short, this is going very well for him. This is not an opportunity for the timid or someone who is broke. But if you're willing to work their system, you're going to have some fun and make some money. Dean will be with us in just a few minutes.

Are you one of those people who love real estate, would love to invest but don't know how to get in the game? The HomeVestors franchise network may be just the point of entry you need and for more reasons than you might imagine. As featured on this episode of She Turned Entrepreneur, the Dallas-based cash home buying network offers differentiators that make it an industry standout with some 1,200 franchisees across 170 U.S. markets. Tanice Myers, a franchise owner in Spokane, WA, shares her journey from tech sales to real estate entrepreneur and Lauren Midgley, Franchise Growth Director at HomeVestors, highlights the many benefits of affiliating with “We buy ugly homes” brand. Franchisees buy homes in distress, “as is” and for cash, offering sellers a gentle and stress-free alternative to marketing their problem homes. The model provides HomeVestors owners a full complement of training tools and support, including intensive field support from knowledgeable Development Agents, lead generation and access to preferred lenders willing to finance up to 100% of purchase and repairs. Additionally, the franchise network itself is a tremendous resource and source of support for entrepreneurs just starting out. Could you be a good fit? Lauren shares some of the characteristics (like empathy and people skills) that make for ideal franchise owners. Women tend to do great and real estate experience is in no way a requirement. Click here to listen to, rate and review this or previous She Turned Entrepreneur episodes. Here are key takeaways from the conversation:· Branding is everything! Mascots and catchy logos go a long way toward visibility!· Developing a reputation and profile is gold when it comes to differentiating.· When it comes to franchises, competitors are up against a proven system that gives customers confidence.· At the end of the day, sales is more about you than what it is you're selling!· Franchise models offer a network of resources and shared experience that is unavailable to independent businesses.· Have your eye on a franchise opportunity, but lack the core skill set? Consider hiring someone with the expertise to help you establish the business.· Franchise models offer a great way to take an entrepreneurial risk while benefiting from the support of a tried-and-true network and system. Here's a quick look into the episode:· About Lauren's franchising background as well as her work as an author and professional speaker specializing in business coaching for small businesses.· About Tanice's experience prior to becoming a HomeVestor franchisee, including 23 years of technology sales at the enterprise level. She loved it but was in search of something different, and especially something with a real estate bent.· What is HomeVestors? They buy houses in ugly situations! Formed in 1996, the company purchases properties from owners who want a fast sale and instant cash. · HomeVestors has about 1,200 franchisees in 170 markets across the country with 125,000 homes acquired over the past two decades.
