Company Website

I'm beyond ready to get my business started. I was all prepared to order business cards, when I realized I don't have a business website. I believe a key factor in appearing to be a professional company/investor is having a website. Problem is, I don't know what my website should contain. I have no property, I'm just getting started. Help please!!!

Thanks in advance.

What are you looking to do as an investor? This will answer your question in regards to "I don't know what my website should contain."

For example, if you are wanting to become a wholesaler, then your website should take the "We Buy Houses" approach. Your target market will be motivated sellers, therefore, your content will need to be centered around explaining how you can help with their problems.

Thanks. I'm looking to buy-hold and buy-fix-flip. Even with that understanding, I still am not sure, content-wise, what my site should look like. What info it should contain. With what you've shared, that looks to me like a one page site. Not being a wise-guy, I just don't have any idea what the site content should be. I looked at your page and I'm nowhere near that level.

How do you plan on buying/selling (for your flips)? Using agents, or organic marketing?

If you are just planning on using agents, then you really don't need a website.

I planned to use agents, marketing, word of mouth, driving the neighborhood, etc. Should I stick to agents? If no, then suggestions for the other methods?
