Could not find much online so figured I would turn to BP.

If the numbers work when I run them, I know reality should only be better.ActualsPurchase Price $227,500Interest Rate 30 year conventional 6.375%Homeowners Insurance = $920.21Rents = $1,900 per monthTotal mortgage + escrow = $1,182.58 per month with rents at $1,900 my actual cashflow is $717.42.Additional numbers behind the dealTotal cash to close = $87,475.55Down payment = $80,000Homeowners Insurance - $918.36Rate Buy Down 1.283% - $1,892.43We paid to lower the interest rate by 1.283% over the course of the 30-year loan.

Now keep in mind, we "over-paid" by some people standard.

There are any number of Real Estate schools available to you, so choose the one that compliments your learning style, whether that be online or in person or a hybrid. 

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.

If you paid $5K a month more, you will make very little or lose money.   

In terms of deal flow I would reach out to a couple of wholesalers, agents and join some local investor groups either on Facebook or online local community to start.

It shows up in my online account, but they have not allowed access to the funds.  

Thanks For the Advice @lydia &  @Ray Hage, thatsh helpful. ive Just started the online training and about 3hrs into the 75 hrs so Wish me luck!

I ended up getting the online course and it was pretty disappointed.
