Focus on a specialty/niche whether waterfront, multifamily, vacation props or even just a specific neighborhood to be THE expert.

Tracking can be done in property management software, a spreadsheet, or even a piece of paper and a pencil, as long as you can account for who's money is in the account.

Heck, I didn't even want to make it about SEO.

I also invest in other assets such as stocks, and private companies as well. for RE agents I see absolutely no conflict.. its their job.. not every agent starting out can afford to buy a rental.. and note very agent even wants to own a rental ( like me) I only like to deal in land when I sold RE to the public .
