BiggerPockets is full of resources designed to help you along your journey, whether you are just getting started or a seasoned investor.

I am just getting started out and have a rough idea of how to work through these numbers and so I wanted to throw this out there to see how far off I was.I haven't gotten any numbers on financing this so I assumed a lot.

Once youve got a few months of experience and everything is stable, start looking for the next one.

If someone has a deal that they are up over $1m (including the small cash flow) and I was starting out, I would be all over the financials and the plan. 

I recommend you go to the source and educate yourself on all the landlord-tenant laws, particularly in an increasingly regulated state like Colorado.Here's a good starting point: https://doh.colorado.gov/landlord-rights-and-responsibilitie...

Deals and partnerships started flowing in when we focused on providing value first rather than chasing transactions.What’s been the biggest shift in your approach since getting clear on your long-term goals?

Keep the business, to make it easy for you to start your nextproject.O.

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.

I recommend you start with what you know, at least with the bulk of your IRA.
