Don't get caught up in how you look or other people goals, because distractions are everywhere if you have no vision for yourself.  

For now this will only distract you from what you should be doing: deals.Before I get killed here by team technology here, let me say this: I appreciate the notion of "starting professional", but in my 15 year experience working and mentoring a lot of new investors, software, websites, logos, business cards and entities etc are all "shiny objects" that serve no real purpose other than mesmerizing and distracting from the real job on hand, which is buying properties and renting them out.Software and automation have it's place, when you have grown so big, that this is becoming a bottleneck, then it is a solution to an actual problem.

Advise: Stick to your strategy and don't get too swayed here... lots of great real estate advise but easy to get distracted by the new shiny object!

There is ONE best way to find motivated sellers... and that is them finding YOU.Stop getting distracted.
