REI website

[Dan Miller]

How critical is a website for a new investor? I know the value of the internet and the value of an additional response channel and the value of the credibility, but how much of "MUST HAVE" is it for someone on a limited budget? I would want a site that allows buyers to submit their information on the property they want to sell, and so far, I've only seen companies that charge $500+ plus $50/month for setting that up. I know there are some cheaper sites like Vista Print or Yahoo or Google apps, but I don't think they allow for that type of flexibility like multiple pages and a seller info form.

Thoughts?

Thanks,
Dan
