Before I spend good money in search engine optimization and social media optimization, I would like to know what are you guys' experience with...1.

If you are a fan of optimal leverage I would not pay down mortgages... that would lower your return on equity.Look at making the seller or your replacement properties make improvements and increase the purchase price by that amount but make sure it makes sense from an ROI prospective and your property needs to appraise for the higher price if your trying to get a loan.

Focus on your core business and don't let anything get in the way of that.As far as marketing, perhaps the best low-cost strategy is to learn as much as you can about Search Engine Optimization (SEO) strategies and manage your own online presence.

@Linda Organic leads using SEO (search engine optimization) versus PPC leads which cost money.

(advantage as in huge paychecks) You can learn alot about SEO/SEM by checking out what they do.I read a really interesting article today about Social Bookmarking Optimization.

You can do more with the employee benefits and pension aspects compared to what an LLC allows.LLCs are better optimized for holding assets that appreciate.Note also what some states allow for an LLC will vary.

I'm sure you could find ways to make this happen with conventional SFR houses as well (in fact, I know people who do it), but it would add a challenge to the mix when it comes to inspections and such.I imagine you could narrow your results more effectively just by adding the name of your state, county or city to your key word optimization.

I have gleaned some information in order to optimize taxes within the US but how about owning from abroad?

Maybe these are optimal for certain income brackets like sub 100k a year?   

I’m targeting properties that don’t have a need for improvements and are mostly optimized already.
