Creating a website for leads without any property

[Ryan Lehman]

Hello ALL,

I'm still new to investing and looking to hopefully purchase my first house hack soon but I keep seeing articles about how websites can bring in a lot of leads. Even though I haven't even purchased my first property yet, I was wondering if it was a good idea to create a website for myself. Since the only reason I would want a website is to attract people who want to sell their homes, what exactly would I put on my site? I saw how a lot of investors put past properties they have purchased on their site but for me, I won't have any. Would I just put my contact information and a small introduction to who I am?

@Ryan Lehman a website is a must to build credibility.  Without a deal history, you can share the knowledge you have through blog posts.  Put a bio up of what experiences you plan on leveraging to be successful, etc.  There are plenty of websites, used to drive capital raising, that do no outline someone's portfolio.

Beyond that, network, network, network.  Get to meetups, or start one.  Talk about what you are seeing, articles you've read, anything to show you someone others can trust.  If you can't bring experience, you can bring knowledge and other connections.

You will have an uphill battle to climb, but it all helps.
