As a software engineer, I can assure you that these kinds of projects can easily get out of hand. Just remember, you're an investor, not a web developer, so the focus should be on getting out there. Here is what I suggest:

1) Make a simple one-page app that is mobile scalable at  squarespace.com.
2) For content, add your info, and make sure your phone, email, and intentions (ie I buy houses, I want to help with...) is clear and bold.
3) Launch site, apply your domain name, buy some  Google Adwords and get to work.

I would guess that if you spend any more time or effort than that on the actual site, you are likely wasting your time and keeping yourself from actually doing the legwork of this business.

Sorry for all the opinion, but the website project is one that many new investors use to waste time and force more analysis paralysis. People love simple sites, I wish restaurants would take the same advice.

Good luck, and if any of this is confusing, shoot me a message.
