@Jerryll Noorden 9 months ago when I wrote this post I had just begun my SEO journey and was shopping between different web hosts to start my business. At the time, I was greener than grass and can see how my question was misguided and confused. Buuuut enough about the past! Today, I sit in the number #1 google ranked position for my key word in my target market "sell my house fast Santa Cruz CA" - much thanks to Carrot.com!

@Luke Rorech One of the best parts of Carrot.com is the content they create for your blog on a monthly basis. The SEO value of these articles is IMMENSE (and a big reason why their users hold so many #1 positions in search for their keywords). I would have not climbed the ranking as fast as I did without this amazing feature and their SEO educational materials. These articles are centered around motivated sellers, cash buyers, lease option, and private lender topics - all mostly geared around a SFR wholesale or realtor business.

Now, how does multifamily fit into the equation...?

Fact of the matter is people aren't using the internet to find buyers for their multifamily properties and apartment buildings. Keyword analysis and research shows that to be the case. There is a portion of the created carrot.com blog content that is geared towards building rapport and partnering with potential investors. THIS is how you play the multifamily SEO game. There is no shortage of investors looking to pile their money into multifamily real estate investments. Use the Carrot.com site and related investor magnet articles to build rapport and raise funds from investors that then can be used to buy multifamily properties found through other marketing techniques (relationships with brokers, direct mail, driving for dollars, etc). I hope this gives you a little more insight into the real estate SEO process and am more than happy to discuss over a phone call or PM!@Luke Rorech

Hey Matt,

Fellow Santa Cruz real estate investor here. If you are going to be pursuing real estate seriously then you should start trying to build your personal and business credit ASAP. It really helps with obtaining the right lending rates and also can become an asset when used in conjunction with your business credit for future acquisitions. I highly recommend checking out a local credit union in the area and getting a small personal loan that you put on auto pay. When I was doing this I used Bay Federal Credit Union in Aptos and took out a bank account secured $500 loan with a 24 month pay period. The interest ended up being nominal, something around $35 and putting it on auto pay ensure you don't miss a payment. This step is critical...you want to show the banks you're capable of not missing payments even though the loan is a small one. PM me if you want more details on this process!

Hello BP,

I recently started using Investor Carrot in an effort to generate motivated multifamily seller leads. Their website service is great however most of their content is pre-written and geared towards single family residential leads rather than multifamily. My question is has anybody attempted to use the Investor Carrot site to go after multifamily leads with any success? Thanks for your time!
