The biggest mistake people make is not having enough reserves before going into real estate investments.

I’m not in Tyler, but I know how important it is to find like-minded people when starting out.

Ton's of people with golden shackles of sub 3% rates, epic net shortage, skilled labor shortage, on and on. 

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.As @Todd Heitner mentioned, 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 earlier:Now 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)- Monthly Content Publishing (Regular Blogs & Location Pages)- Monthly OFF Page SEO (Citations, BacklinksNow 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.

So don't be confined to just areas/markets that you know people in!

I’m here to learn as much as I can from this community, connect with like-minded people, and gain insights into smart investing strategies.Looking forward to networking and soaking up knowledge from all of you.

To me, that can be done in many asset classes, but I think most people associate it (nowadays) with single family residential investing.

But I find that most people want to invest in areas that are solid and that don't have bad tenant quality.

Here’s why some people struggle and how to fix it:1️⃣ YOU’RE SETTING UNREALISTIC EXPECTATIONSYou’re not going to close every deal.

The challenge with unsafe areas is (1) potentially higher cost of maintenance such as broken windows, etc. and (2) this is by no means meant to be discriminatory but anecdotally from people I've spoken to the challenging tenants tend to be at the lower price points.
