Any time someone starts researching "real estate investing," they come across terms like "Dead Equity" and other things compelling them to be perpetually as mortgaged to the hilt as possible, so if they find you via any SEO or marketing efforts involving or targeting "real estate" and "investing" next to each other, it's often going to be too late for you.This is meant as productive feedback, please take it as such.

You're better off using Wordpress, much more flexibility and SEO benefit.

Don’t get me wrong, no disagreement with the SEO impact of Instant vs manual approvals on new listings, but as others have said once you’re established as one of the more active listings on any of the booking sites you’re similarly ranked unless guests go out of their way to check the Instant Book filter.  

Would you go the fivver route and hire a SEO and targeted marketing pro or would you use one of the crms like flipster or REI black book.My goal is to be able to have some type of out reach during my 9-5 because I can only make so much use of my time in the morning, lunch and after work?

Spend marketing money as much as you can on:  direct mail, networking with wholesalers and agents, expired listings, fsbo, driving 4 $, SEO, PPC, targeted lists; probate, divorce, high equity, pre foreclosure, tax liens etc. 

If you need someone I can recommend you someone.Then Hire a SEO person that knows what they are doing.

For my SEO / marketing agency we do monthly ACH drafts on many of our clients.

@Jerryll Noorden - Do you solely focus on organic SEO or do you run PPC ads as well?

But honestly, I wouldn't do postcards, DMM cold calling or texting.That stuff has a horrible conversion rate especially because you can't target motivated sellers through any list.I would research Facebook ads and Youtube ads, SEO.
