Homevestors is growing quickly. They started right here in Dallas and have billboards all over the place that say:

"We Buy Ugly Houses"

They are after the worst of the worst rehab houses that they can get dirt cheap. If you are a serious rehabber they may effect some of your business.

If you are after pretty houses that you can buy subject to HOMEVESTORS doesn't have any interest in these type properties.

They have not. They tend to go after the lower end houses.

As far as the advertising you need to use consistent advertising. Lynn has spoken about this on several occasions and is right about it.

Find out what works in your area and do it. look at all of the realtors that are out there. Car dealerships etc... It is who catches your eye and follows through.

I am more worried about a guy who has a sign on darn near every street corner in Houston that says "I buy houses fast" vs The Homevestors. He is my competition
