Web Site

[Miller Josh]

I'm looking to get a web site for creditability and lead generation for buying distressed houses. Not wanting to spend a lot. Any sugestions?

Hi @Miller Josh

You have a general question that is hard to answer.  However I  can provide some tips.  First, quick background about me, I'm a real estate investor, however I'm a software engineer by degree.  I have a team off-shore that I manage while I'm working on a tech real estate / HR  startup.

1.  Your requirements will ultimately dictate cost

2.  Don't look at pricing as absolute, its relative to value

3.  Local are best but they will be costly in the thousands.  PM me for some examples to give you

4.  "lead generation" hope you understand doesn't just "turn on", it will require a lot of work to bring in the traffic.  either paid (costly) or organically (seo, free_)

5.  IF your really tight on budget, check out https://www.upwork.com/

6.  If you don't know exactly what you want, I highly suggest you have that ready before pursuing further as the cost will add up, unless the vendor includes that as part of pricing.  A lot times they say they will, but as you iterate several times, their patience will manifest and generally haste decisions are made that could be regrettable.

7.  You could use this thread to ask or help get your specs defined.  Either way I'm happy to give advice and help you avoid some pitfalls I've seen my colleague experienced.

Hope I gave you a broad answer  :)
