It's a fun story and it's how I got interested in notes.I bought a vacant, land locked (no easement) lot at tax deed auction (Washington is a deed state). 

I work, live and play in Charlotte, I'm from Asheville, and I've lived in NC for almost 30 years.

Best of luck on your real estate future, it's been a fun adventure for me!

Be honest—are you waking up early and controlling your day, or are you rolling out of bed and playing catch-up?

What do you like to do for fun?

That will also play into it.

This in turn will kill your exit strategy if you are not doing your due diligence and playing conservative.

It's hard to harvest equity on these plays, unless you commit, long-term, towards very light leverage, as the only practical ways to benefit from the equity in your portfolio, if you plan to never sell it, only exchange it, for a lifetime, are to spend the cash flow, or cash out refi.

If there is no difference between Carrot and WordPress when it comes to SEO and ranking on GOOGLE then it might make sense to go with WordPress for a long-term play. 

It's the smart way to fun a business.
