Often that "other offer" is a straw buyer that only exists for the sole purpose of getting you to increase your offer.

@Alec B Calzada thanks for mentioning HubSpot. It's hard to beat free, but as my wife always reminds me, free always comes with a catch. I actually worked for them about 5 years ago in another life. Do you have to customize or can you customize HuBSpot CRM for RE investing?

@Rori Stumpf interested in hearing your review of Realeflow as well. Currently in the same position trying to decide which CRM to use for my REI business. Thank you to everyone for sharing your insights and reviews on this thread.

@Steven Mitchell apologies for the delay in replying to this, have been swamped. Private money is a lot more attractive than hard money given the fees. I was thinking 8-10%, but find it interesting you were aggressive with 15% return to private investors, certainly a lot more attractive return than many other investments. 

@Joey Sullivan thank you so much for sharing the detailed list of questions to ask!

Hi BPers, I'm an investor (wholesale, flips, buy & hold, commercial apartments) looking for the best website platform to build my business on. Most important features/functions are: 

-ease of setup

-easy to maintain and update 

-lead generation: motivated Seller leads, buyer leads, joint venture partner leads, etc

-inbound marketing enabled: blog feature, SEO friendly, social media sharing options

-tie in with a CRM like Podio or something else would be great as well

Any direct experience you can provide on investor website platforms that have helped grow your investing business is much appreciated! Thanks
