In Arizona, there are a lot of reputable people who do lease options.

Why else would so meany people be trying to help you for free?

interest rates and prices are high and people are contorting themselves into pretzels to try to buy. 

Unless it's cost-prohibitive, I'd remove it for the same reasons people have stated: 1.

Most people won't put in the work. 

It's basically built on top of WordPress core and they made it simple and easy to navigate.Where in wordpress, you have to get some plugins (some are also monthly paid) to achieve the same kind of functionality.As @Todd Heitner mentioned, SEO is not just about having a good hosting/platform and features, it's about utilizing the features in a way so your brand has visibility and people that come into your website gets proper value of their time spent.Here's a table comparison for you that I wrote earlier:Now whether you have a carrot or a wordpress site, for SEO, you will need:- Website Credibility (Personalisation)- On Page SEO (Keywords, Titles, Meta Tags, Description, Image ALT Tags & Optimization etc)- Monthly Content Publishing (Regular Blogs & Location Pages)- Monthly OFF Page SEO (Citations, BacklinksNow if you consider the cost, end of the day it's quite same for both the platforms.But if you are starting fresh, I see no point of having their 180$ plan, you can continue with 89$/month plan from carrot and assign someone in your team to put regular blog posts and update the location pages.

That level of being locked in like that, that's been the number 1 indicator I have seen working with all the people I previously mentioned of who is gonna make it, and who's gonna flame out.

Later on, I started voting on people that took the time to answer my post or question if I liked their answer.

We work with people in your shoes all the time. 

Quote from @Brendan Jones: For the homes, and or properties that you will use as a primary or a rental property one big thing I look for is infrastructure in the area, extrinsic value (I.e. hospitals in the area, schools, and job market), and the last thing is creature comforts for people (I.e. is a store to get groceries 1 hour away or 2 minutes away).
