Investor Carrot or Realeflow
What's the difference between Investor Carrot and Realeflow? Which of the two would you recommend for a fresh, brand new Wholesaling flipper?

It's hard to compare the 2 because you're not really comparing apples to apples here. Investor Carrot is a great website platform designed and tested entirely to convert and capture leads way better than any cheapo (or in some cases custom built) websites out there. It's also SEO optimized out of the box and gets you started on the right track to get top rank in google depending on your area.
Realeflow is a CRM at it's core. If you're not sure what that is it's great for keeping track of leads and has a lot of other "shiny object" features to help an investor prospect for deals. They do offer free websites, but there's no way they convert as well as an investor carrot website so it depends on what you're looking to do.
Best advice I can give is why not try them both? I know investor carrot does demos and realeflow is offering a $1 trial so see which you like better. From my own experience getting started I would say don't get distracted by CRMs and shiny objects. I wasted a lot of money starting out and I was no where near ready to use something like freedomsoft or realeflow. Just get started with an excel spreadsheet and pump your money into marketing. Pound the pavement and hussle FAST because money likes fast. Don't buy something because you think you need it. Buy it because you want to solve a problem or be more efficient. If you haven't even done 1 mailer or bandit sign yet I'd hold off. If you have a business plan and you're doing this full time it might be worth another look.
so...
Investor Carrot = Get it if you're serious about having a web presence and dominating google rankings to get organic and PPC leads that convert like no other.
Realeflow (or other CRM) = newb cannon fodder, but if you're experienced or following a biz plan / system it would probably be worth it.
