Thank you so much everyone for the replies!  This is very helpful indeed!  I really appreciate the great advice.

Hi, I am starting out in wholesaling and intend to move on in a few months to fixing and flipping. I am in search of information related to setting up domain names and web sites.  I have heard that if you start a search to see if a domain name is taken that sometimes hackers will purchase the domain name you are interested in, snap it up and buy it cheap right from under you as you are inputting your credit card number.  Then, apparently, they mark it up hugely and you have to pay much more to secure your domain name(s).  Has anyone else heard of this, and is there any way around it?  I am afraid to even search on GoDaddy.

Also, any advice on setting up multiple web sites for wholesaling?  I was thinking one to establish legitimacy with my actual S Corp name, largely informational, a few others with a "we buy houses" type of domain for lead generation, and then another one on which to showcase deals to investor buyers. Does this sound logical or overkill?  

I truly appreciate any advice.  Thank you.

This is a great book.  He isn't trying to sell you anything.  He is a professor at Columbia University.  It builds up from the basics to more sophisticated analyses, and he doesn't talk down to you or dumb anything down.

That would be adding four areas to your list, not three.

I am not very familiar with Broadleigh and Eastmoor, but from what I hear, I would give them a C maximum.  I think they may be spotty, though, with some good pockets, especially closer to Bexley.

I know I am replying late, but I thought you should add three areas to your list
