Getting started in self-funded search

Hello all! I'm new to the forum and in the beginning phase of my self-funded search. I'm in the process of setting up my LLC which will take some time because I need to gather veteran information to file an LLC in Texas. Because of this delay, I'm avoiding establishing a custom email account and website; however, I'm eager to hit the ground and start reaching out to brokers. Will not having a custom email domain and website be viewed as unprofessional, or worse, a tire kicker? Thanks in advance!

As mentioned, don't need the LLC for the domain. Also, your domain and your LLC don't have to be the same. In fact, they can be completely different if so desired. You can just use a DBA. Plus, I would suggest incorporating in Wyoming.

There are also very cheap domain hosting providers that offer mostly unlimited services. Avoid ones like goDaddy that charge for each email address or whatever.

If you know your biz name already or something very close to it, go ahead and buy the domain and set up the email / landing page. Takes 30 minutes max on squarespace or similar. If it changes later, no problem. No need to have the LLC finalized to start looking official. LMK if you need help.
