But I just got finished setting up a real estate lead generation website (a &#8220;I Buy Houses&#8221; website) through <a href=\"http:\/\/www.leadpropeller.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">LeadPropeller.com<\/a>, and I&#8217;m blown away.<\/p>\n<p>In less than twenty minutes I had my website built, including all the language I wanted on there, and it&#8217;s live. Right now. On the internet. For motivated buyers to contact me. So I can buy their houses. So I can make more money. So I can live the life I want.<\/p>\n<p>The purpose of this blog post is to share a bit about LeadPropeller and how you can use it to make yourself a website and start attracting leads. But first, let&#8217;s talk about the problem.<\/p>\n<h2>Why You Need a Real Estate Investor Website<\/h2>\n<p>Leads are the lifeblood to any real estate investor.<\/p>\n<p>Whether you are a house flipper or wholesaler, without a pipeline continually filling up with deals, it&#8217;s almost impossible to scale your business. Sure, you might get a deal here and a deal there, probably on the MLS, but I&#8217;ve got a secret for you: <strong>that&#8217;s no way to scale a business<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, you could send out direct mail. I love the idea of direct mail, but there is one major hangup: direct mail costs a lot of money &#8212; usually around $1 per piece of mail.<\/p>\n<p>You could put up bandit signs all over town, but you&#8217;ll spend more time running from the cops and probably end up paying more in fines than you&#8217;d ever make from those leads. Bad idea.<\/p>\n<p>Then there is the internet. You KNOW that the internet is where everyone is. You know that people are searching Google for queries\u00a0like &#8220;How do I sell my house quickly?&#8221; and &#8220;What to do when I can&#8217;t pay my mortgage?&#8221; If only you could have a website that those people end up on.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Related:<\/strong> <a title=\"The One Website Element Key to Gaining High Quality Leads\" href=\"https:\/\/www.biggerpockets.com\/blog\/2014\/10\/07\/the-one-website-element-key-to-gaining-high-quality-leads\/\" target=\"_blank\">The One Website Element Key to Gaining High Quality Leads<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Now you can &#8212; and you can do it more easily than you&#8217;d ever imagined.<\/p>\n<h2>Real Estate Investor Websites From LeadPropeller<\/h2>\n<p>You probably recognize the name behind LeadPropeller: Danny Johnson.
