Do you own your own website when using Investor Carrot?

Tommy Hardin

Hey guys,

I'm a complete newb at the real estate wholesaling business. However, I have immersed myself in at least 200 hours of podcasts and YouTube videos over the last couple of months. I have experience in building my own WordPress websites and have some skills in SEO ( I have been able to get my websites ranked #1 for their keywords). I can build my own sites with ease using the StudioPress packages ( I bought the package years ago when they were like $199). All that being said, I have no problem paying for an IC or LP site if the SEO gets me leads. On my previous websites, I did not do much changes to the CSS. The StudioPress sites looked good enough to me to accomplish the tasks needed. In fact, I thought some people got too hung up about the looks of a website instead of it's functionality. So if a LP or IC website accomplishes me results and looks relatively decent, I am OK with what they are selling. It lines up with my philosophy for websites. However, I want to make sure that if I decide to go with Carrot or Lead Propeller, that I am able to move my website (web name) to another hosting site, etc. if I am not happy with IC or LP. I was able to find that LP made a statement about this issue on their website but I have not found the information for IC. Can someone point me in the right direction? 

I am still on the fence on whether I should build my own site or invest with one of the two big boys of real estate. I would save a lot of money once my own site is built and I can build my website and landing pages fairly quickly. However, the SEO may just be worth it. I would hate to miss out on a deal because I was saving $900 on a website and hosting to miss a good lead and lose out on a $10K-$20K  deal. 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
