 I like this idea... Would she be interested in becoming a realtor or property manager? Could you pull enough income from your business to allow her to cut back to part time? It sounds like your on the path to fulfilling your dreams, but she's got dreams too. Need to find a balance. 

@Michaela G.

I didn't say it's rude to want to be able to have more discussions that are focused among higher experience levels. I said the thread title was rude, and it is. It's also rude to put words in people's mouth, but I don't care. I only responded to you because I thought you were out of line for calling people catty who posted before me.  I now regret that decision.

I agree with those recommending the podcasts. Let us know what intrigues you and we'll try to direct you to a good podcast on that topic.

I'd also recommend studying rental property investing. Read Brandon Turner's book, "The Book on Rental Property Investing". It will help you understand cash flow, which is something you need to know regardless of what you get into.

Nobody is being "catty" and nobody is unworthy of hanging out with big investors, including you. If they feel like being around newbies or smaller investors is a waste of their time, they are free to spend their time doing something else, but new investors should not be discouraged from trying to surround themselves with more experienced people.

There are plenty of features on this site to make life easier for everyone, including big investors. We can follow certain users, use keyword searches, listen to hundreds of bigger pockets podcasts, or if someone really thinks they are awesome she can put in an application to be interviewed on the podcast herself to get her name out there like a Shiloh or Jay. I've listened to Shiloh's podcast like 6 times and I'd LOVE to hear from others like him, but if someone doesn't want to sift through a lot of entry level questions...then maybe they shouldn't be on a message board? 

Like it or not creating a thread with the title "Where are the real investors?" is pompous and rude, so the guy shouldn't be surprised if he receives a little criticism for it. I'm sure he can handle it.

Wix has a commanding lead at this point. Very impressed with their website and the overall presentation of the service they provide. I'll let this thread age for a couple of hours then I'm gonna begin putting something together.

@Grayson Wester in your experience have you noticed anything about weebly that gives it an advantage over wix?

@Account Closed I just sent you a message. Spend the last couple of hours digging through BP blogs and webinars. Looking at LeadPropeller.com but not sure if I want a separate lead generation website.

Hello all! I've decided to create a website, so I'm looking for ideas. At a minimum, I'd like the website to generate leads, tell customers about myself, and collect rent. I'm also thinking about storing lease documents on the website and creating a way for tenants to submit help request online.  

Does anyone have any thoughts or suggestions for creating a good website? Also, do you know of a good website I could visit to get ideas?

My wife and I are in the process of selling and giving away a lot of stuff so we can move into a camper on the water. She's so excited about "glamping" and has all these ideas about renovating the inside to make it "cute"... I'm just along for the ride, lol, but I'll be watching this thread for some ideas of my own!

Typical closing costs are $1500 to $2500 but can be much less if you're buying with cash.

Congratulations!!! Don't sweat it.... if the seller is interested in your offer, there's a VERY good chance you'll receive a counter-offer and have the option to accept, counter, or walk away.

Also, did you include a home-inspection contingency with the offer? If so, you'll have the option to walk away without losing earnest money if the inspector discovers lead paint or anything else that makes you uncomfortable.
