I'm brand new to this as well but you need to run the numbers on an apod form or the calculator on this website.  

Do I need to have a complete website set up with my company name, business cards, bandit signs, postcards etc.

What an awesome website!

hi I'm new to this web site and to real estate so any help will be welcome!
