Thank you for the honest and helpful input guys

Thanks for the clear, logical, and actionable advice Joe!

Love and appreciate the feedback guys. I get it MMA money Making Activities! If I get a site I plan on it being very simple and outsourcing the work while I am busy prospecting and following up with leads. My question was more asking if you think that having a site would be a detriment in any way by giving Sellers the excuse of "checking it out" while they procrastinate? Or would that just help weed out the time wasters for me?

Hey guys I'm wondering what your thoughts are on having/starting a basic website as a new wholesale business; initially for the purpose of credentials? I know that some people might not find a business/person credible without a site for verification. On the other hand there's a good argument for saying that the website gives a seller an excuse/reason to stall. "Let me checkout your site first and then...." What are some thoughts out there.I would love to hear any relatable experiences.

I'm just starting out in REI and I know that I want to apprentice with a particular mentor to learn to do deals with creative financing strategies(owner finance,sub to...)

That coaching is actually very reasonably priced compared to others on the market and typical "guru" charges. There's no lump sum, just monthly mentoring and marketing costs that I would cover with a business line of credit at 0% for 6 months until I get my first deal.

On the other hand for a one time fee of a couple K I could quickly learn the sales system of a very successful REI group, JV a couplebof much smaller, transactional deals with them and then use that $ earned to fund the apprenticeship.

I'm sure the apprenticeship is where I want to be and so my dilemma is really in the start up cost. Do I dive right in utilizing the biz credit available to me, or do I JV doing the transactional deals with no cash flow, or equity capture in order to build enough to self fund without using the credit line?

As you can imagine I'm trying to avoid wasting time and $. Any and all constructive input is definitely appreciated.

Thank all!

Hey @Zachary Beland or @Eddie Brady do you know if it is possible to structure a rent to own on a duplex where you live in one unit and are allowed to collect rent on the other? Then qualify for an FHA(meeting requirements of course) when it comes time to exercise your buy option?

Thank you for the info @Account Closed!

Hi guys, im trying to figure out which is a more vital software to invest in when starting out, Freedomsoft, Propstream, or Flipster ? Like which will really help me get to a first deal faster? They have some overlapping functions and Flipster honestly seems to offer the most but I hear a lot of buzz about Propstream.

@Bonnie Low Thanks so much for the actionable suggestion!
