Im in the process of getting a D.B.A for my Birddogging business, i also want to get a website and business cards. Is this to much for a bird dog to have in a small level of the real estate business?
I just want to know because i want to present myself as serious business and a professional way. Also what is a good strategy to tell which investors are real and which one’s are just wast of time? :flush
I don’t think it is sometimes I wish I had the funds to get a website and business cards.
In this biz you need as much credibility as possible, so yes a website and biz cards are vital to your success. Don’t spend more than $700 for a site, and don’t pay more than $15 a month for hosting it.
A DBA (doing business as) name isn’t critical so i wouldn’t spend too much time or expense on it.
To find out which investors are worth dealing with, make sure that they provide you with proof of funds, either a letter from a loan officer or a bank statement showing a huge balance.
You’re on the right track
I’m glad someone asked this & responded… I have a website, business cards (create them as part of a side business), Rent-to-Own properties (not under contract)… I can’t seem to find buyers/tenants, or a DEAL PERIOD!! I have spent the past 5 months & over $450 in marketing techniques…
A couple questions
What is your site name?
What is your marketing message?
Who are you marketing to (target group)
What methods are you using and how often?
Have you tried Craigslist? or the classifield ad in the newpaper under home sale? Here some sample I use for both craigslist and the newpaper.
Do you have bad credit?
Do you want to own a home?
Looking to help a nice couple.

Your right on track if you want to gain instant credibility with other investors. Websites and cards are a huge benefit. I have built much of my RE business using my website, 877-YOU-UGLY phone number, and bandit signs.
I already have credibility, but I use it just for the amount of business that it brings in.
Check your PM by the way.
