I was glad to see you guys talking about this. I have talked about this for a few months too.

I have looked at Godaddy for the domain purchase and hosting. About $45 a year for a simple deal, with 100 email accounts I think was incluced.

I can do the design myself.

We did you guys get your domain name and who hosts your sites?????

Thanks

Hello,
How does one first get the website ctarted, for the berst price? I want to start one, but do not know the best way to go and still be in a lower budget. Can you suggest a service that can design me a basic website? Thanks, Mike

i would put links in your home page like:

In order to contact us, fill out the http://www.thebesthouses.net/sell.htmlsellers/buyers form. - but just make the word the link and of course separate the sellers buyers form links -

one for sellers and one for buyers.

continue through the homepage - make it easy for visitors to get right to the punch. no screwing around.

check for misspellings as well - i.e. "how does our "123" process WORK" not "works".

how do you plan to market the site?

Are you by chance Travis?

Overall, your site looks pretty good. Here are a few of my suggestions for improving visitor value. Please don't take any offense:

1.I'd get rid of the Name and ID number request mentioned in the body and instead use an affiliate link (if an ID # is necessary) that visitors could click on that would track click thrus.

2.I'd reconsider the (striped) background you currently have. It's a bit distracting and painful if viewed for any length of time.

3.You might want to get rid of the visitor counter in your header panel. Visitors don't need to know how many visitors you're getting (or not getting) and it's distracting.

4.Red background on your buyer/seller forms are painful.

5.Tighten up your copy a bit.

6.As wholesalepro suggested, you might want to test a squeeze page (opt in for free special report, etc.)

Hope this Helps,
Dan

You've got the formulas (above) for renting and rent to own (the same). If you are going to flip, the formula is normally .7 times the ARV (after repair value) minus the repairs, minus the holding costs, and minus your profit (if you're wholesaling).

Good Luck,

Mike

The basic formula is still the same wether you are talking about a single family home or an apartmetnt building when looking at rentals.

There is a property analysis tool avalible on the biggerpockets.com home page. http://www.biggerpockets.com/recritic.html

What exacly are you looking for when you say a formulas for land and purchacing a home?
