Is a seperate phone number/email suggested for brand new investor

[Michael Wintermyer]

I am new in real estate investing and am currently in the phase of getting educated and networking to make the right connections. My goal is to have my first investment property before the end of the year. As I am starting to go to network events and reaching out to different parties (realtors, financial institutions, investors, legal entities, etc.) I am curious to see what peoples thoughts are about getting a separate phone line and email address at this stage. These would be to put on business cards to hand out while networking and making connections, provide to others as a way to contact me, place on social accounts/website but also to separate "business" from "personal". 

When I say new phone line, I am not referring to going to ATT or Verizon and signing up for a phone plan but using an app like GoDaddy or Text Free, that would be much more cost effective. Also, those allow to have 1 phone with the two numbers instead of getting a new phone. The email would most likely be a gmail account for now but will set up email forwarding to a more official email once I get a website set up....which is also related to this question, if that is a good idea now or after a few investments under my belt?

Hi Michael.  I setup my company in March 2018.  I use Google Voice, it's free.  I have a number now that I use exclusively for business.  I also setup up a business gmail account for $5/month and added a domain for $12/year.  So now I have email that has my corporate domain attached to it instead of @gmail.com, plus I have a Google Voice number that is local to my area, but not my personal cell number, and it works right along with my cell phone.  Hope this helps.  Good luck on your first investment.
