I know this is a slightly older post, but I just wanted to say that if you're starting out I wouldn't spend a lot on a website, but it still wouldn't hurt to have one.  It can be good for credibility.

You don't need to go out and hire someone to build a custom site for you, that can be really expensive.  Find some pre-made sites designed for investors that are affordable.  Try to find a site that will grow with your business.

I know this is an older thread, but I came across it and just wanted to say yes, a website can really help.  It can build credibility, let you do business 24/7 and can open up online marketing methods.

I'm not 100% sure that I'm understanding what you're asking.  Is the message where you tell people to go to your website actually part of the video?  If so, you'd need to make a copy of it that doesn't have that message and post it separately.

Are you marketing for sellers?

When you say the postcards were professionally done, do you mean by a graphics company or someone who specializes in real estate investor marketing?

You could recommend services to them as an affiliate.  Then they wouldn't even be paying you anything out of pocket but you'd get paid by the services you're recommending.

Welcome to BP, it's a great community!

Great thread.  Nice to see Trevor and Danny's comments.  Both are solid options.

I agree with some of the comments here.  Don't get bogged down in the details before you even start.  I've seen investors get hung up on picking a business name or domain name for months and never do a deal.

That being said, it doesn't hurt to come up with a name to use as long as you don't spend too much time on it.  You can get a small order of cheap business cards to start out.  You could set up a free website (or low cost) if you feel you'll need help with credibility (just be sure it looks professional).

If you can get some things set up that give you more confidence and you're not spending too much on them, I'd say go for it.  Just don't go crazy with the expenses before you do your first deal.

It looks nice!  How is it working for you?

Your website turned out really well!  I like your logo... although the Jack in the logo is red and not black!  :)

It's a nice looking WordPress theme.   Very clean and professional.
