I'm not saying you shouldn't have a domain like that... in fact it might be a very good one, but you're not going to put that domain on a business card and definitely not on a bandit sign.Because domains are pretty cheap I think it makes sense to have a professional one with your company name, a keyword rich one and maybe something shorter that easily fits on advertising.Disclaimer: I am by NO means an SEO expert, probably not even an SEO amateur yet.

I'm not an expert at commercial financing (@Joel Owens is!)

And that's the thing that hard money originators must understand: today's lender needs to become a niche expert.

Do people associate your name with expert real estate investing?

But anyway, I'd love an expert's critique of what I've done so far, as well as what I plan to do ASAP.- Established an LLC. with the state of Georgia.- Purchased domain names; two for buyer squeeze pages, two for seller squeeze pages, one for LLC.- Set up Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Google+ for the LLC.- Followed more than 500 other people (on each social networking platform) who work in real estate, most in REI.- Began preliminary work on creating all five websites (focusing on the buyer squeeze pages, so I can gather a solid buyers list before putting a property under contract) but it turns out that I'm not too good at the technical side of things, so I think I'm going to hire someone on Fiverr to put everything together.

. :-) Not sure if @Marco Santarelli, @Mike D'Arrigo or any other local experts have any thoughts on which townships to target and which to avoid.

Dan DietzNot an expert but generally speaking you could loan him money (i.e. be the bank) for a property he would own fully, or with someone else that was NOT a prohibited party (like your dad) but you would not be able to own any of it because you would be loaning money to yourself from your IRA which is prohibited.He can then do the exact same thing for you.Basically you can both own a property with the other ones IRA being the lien holder.

Unlike these other experts I don't have a book.

PS expert tip: if you type the address number and the first few letters of the street name into the last name search field it will generally find if the property is in foreclosure.

Not sure what the branding experts would say but I never could understand them anyway..
