Starting with a website or not?

[Account Closed]

Ok so just had a quick question for everyone. For those starting out to become wholesalers, should I make a website to attract buyers now? Or should I leave it alone for now and focus more on marketing? Want to make sure I do everything right to land that first deal in 60 days.. I know the website can attract buyers but would you recommend if for starting out? Thanks

John, do you own a pair of shoes? Starting out, you need to use them. The chances of some guy buying a property from you who lives in Arkansas is slim and none! Your buyers are close by. No, you do not need a web site!

This all reminds me of a Realtor I knew. He was just a ball of fire. Got his license. Bought a new SUV with credit of course. Got window signs for his SUV. He got a new laptop, and computer stuff as well as software.

He had professional pictures taken for his business cards. Had custom sign riders made. He opened up his business account at the bank. Ask a million questions from anyone who would listen. He did mailers and flyers.

This all took him about 4 months. A year later he had not sold or listed anything. He was totally consumed by the perfect set up for his real estate business. He is no longer in RE, he works at a motorcycle shop. He lost his new SUV.

Get some comfortable shoes and break them in walking and talking! Meet people face to face.
Make some money. Worry about setting up the automatic RE business that runs itself without ever working a day after you have a few deals done the old fashion way.

Gotta go!
