Hello and welcome. I'm sure you will learn a lot from BP!

I am in Georgia and LLC is the path I have been educated on.

congrats, I love this site and what you all provide!!

I am focusing on wholesaling right now.
For those who are also in this filed, you know keeping track of leads is a challenge.
I used Google for Work(cheap) to: open a business email, get my domain name, and setup website. I use their host of available apps to help my business run smoothly. The cost for this is only $5 per user.
These apps are free anyway, but have been invaluable tools. Google Sheets alone has been a life saver. I have never made so many spreadsheets in my life. Google Forms has allowed me to make free surveys to get a feel for what people may what from my services.

I am able to automate for example; using the IFTTT app(free), I can send a text to a specific number and it will load a google spreadsheet with the address of the property I saw while riding around, which I can then update with other notes for the property. I also use the app to update multiple social media platforms from just one i.e Facebook will update my twitter with same post. Instagram will also update twitter.
I am using the free verison of MailChimp to organize people who sign up Buyers and Sellers. I am using the campaigns to get the homes I have control over to my cash buyers.

As far as the people aspect, I am able to contact interested buyers and sellers quicker. I can target their needs in a more standardized manner. Most importantly I am able to organize the info I get from those interactions better.

I just ordered Sticky Notes (5 pack $11.00) to place on doors of homes I come across, but I feel that as well as I being a great advertising technique, it will put me face to face with interested parties.

I hope I was able to expand upon my original post. Thank you for the comments.

Excuse me, Google for work. 

In all of my rsearch I keep seeing the same phrase "You must automate as much of your business as possible. I have had great success using g Google Works. I l've gotten my website up and running, a Facebook fan page. I have utilized products from Vista print, whom I ordered Sticky Notes to place on houses I came across while driving. I have made my presence on social media known. The greatest tool I found is an app called IFTTT (you just have to see for yourself). Not to mention business cards, which I got from Printastic. I got 250 quality business cards and it only cost me shipping an handling. Most of the services I am paying for, will cost under $10 a month.  

My journey into automation has been a pretty smooth one. I will say you have to be prepared to make use of whatever system you like to keep track of a all these tools. The payoff is worth it though. I have been much more efficient at contacting leads and posting properties.

I have been able to get up and running for under $20. Less than that really, because my Google works free trial is 30 days. 

My operating cost even after my free trials end will be under $30 a month. 

So if any other newbie or veteran trying to learn how to automate inexpensively and without all the headaches , feel free to contact me. 

Hello, what state(s) do you purchase in?

Hello,

I have had great success finding some really active cash buyers. My issue is, once I find a property, what's the best way to get them the info and see if they are interested. 

Do you use Flyers, Email them a standard template form you use, or just calling them up and giving specs?

 Hey Doug, I got charged before I even agreed to package and got no confirmation and no access to what I paid too much money for. I hope your company isn't a complete scam and gets in touch with customers quickly. Very disappointed so far with lack of serice. 

 I just got charged for their service and didn't even get a confirmation when it processed. I was trying to get another package. I ha e emailed them and hope they are stand up people.
