Nothing major, I'm by no means a web developer, but I can put some basic stuff together and help people learn how to set up their hosting accounts.

First thing you need is CONFIRM their interest in getting emails/SMS from you.Second is while they confirming (web based form/email/phone) ask their interests.

Been reading through those links, the one thing I have plenty of is time for research.Also Bill, I look forward to seeing just how many local real estate pros are on this web site.

Kompozer for web page design.

I thought you're looking for a REI course with meat, not just a $10 book with basic information freely available on the web.

I want to do more advertising/buying/selling on the web and it sounds like you might have the skills to do this.By the way - I'm not originally from MN - where is Victoria?

To get started I recommend you go to the county web site of where you want to invest and search for tax sales.

An option is to "parrot" what other people are doing.If your presentation is via the web (online in HTML/PHP/JS..., accessible via the Internet) then you can build some simple (5 tabs) presentation pages that provide project vitals, like Description, Financials, About You, Questions, Updates.Under each tab, you would go into more depth about your project.

Search their web site as well, but I'd caution making any plans based on a HUD site as regional areas may or may not be involved with just anything that is possible at the federal level. :)

The local MN REIA meetings can be a good source for off market properties and I think you can get a web-only membership.
