I agree with @Shawn Ackerman I would start applying the cash flow to debt pay down.!

Hi Jeffrey,Great to see you’re looking to scale into multi-family commercial investing here in Indy!

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.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 earlierNow 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)- Social Media Presence (Regular Posts/Videos and Engaging with your audience)- Monthly Content Publishing (Regular Blogs & Location Pages)- Monthly OFF Page SEO (Citations, Backlinks)Now 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.Or if you want to use WordPress and get someone setup the website and do regular content updates for you, then It can take 3-6 months to start seeing visible growth in organic traffic if all the things mentioned above are taken care of.

Hey all, I'm a Broker with 18.5 years of experience in the industry primarily centered around SFR and small investment properties.

@Luke FrugeHello - just curious - why not invest where you are located?

Once youve got a few months of experience and everything is stable, start looking for the next one.

Quote from @Mike Levene: Hi @Chris RojasI started exactly the same way (with a triplex not a duplex but not important). 

My father took out a $320K home equity line of credit (HELOC) to invest with my brother and I.

Also, if the property doesn’t cash flow or cash flows poorly as your summary indicates, coming up with a creative financing strategy that allows for greater cash flow doesn’t necessarily make it a good purchase or investment.

I am late to your inquiry but wondered if you ever closed on that investment opportunity?
