I expected greater growth than has happened in that time.  

So far all the numbers look good with positive growth.

Is there population and job growth in your market?

So I ask my SEO how I can increase Organic Growth external of the Internet.

Any of you guys have used funded and grow the program pros and cons

You need to take a step back and study where population and job growth is occurring.

It's pretty straight forward especially if you're familiar with RE.You just need to learn the best way to find deals in your market (which I assume you're already doing since you're flipping) whether through driving to find them, targeting pre-foreclosures, distressed houses, tax liens, divorce, probate, etc.Subscribing to a property app like propstream which is about $100/mo, helps immensely as a huge time saver and gives a ton of useful information.

Growth is to the north.

Ideally want an area that is relatively safe, has some appreciation and rental growth. 

This is a wonderful spot to network and compound your growth potential.
