Something I do wish I had done seems a little complicated but would be pretty awesome: use a large map of the area, print or digital, and put pins with sell prices on housing that matches what you're looking for. create several maps. year over year. and look for the wave of appreciation.

Creating your team upfront will help to make it a smoother process.  

Holding for short term creating cash flow with rentals then using equity to fund future investments (I think that's how it works).

Currently a lot of the email marketing I receive with information about deals ( Property Info / Purchase Price / ARV / Repairs / Cap Rate / Pictures / etc. ) looks like it was created using email marketing from the 90's.

There are very unique opportunities like working with government to build and provide housing, or create a business that renovates rentals for individuals with physical disabilities... flats with wider doorways, handicap accessible bathrooms, lower counter tops, etc. 

Lastly, for this post, I am keenly interested in creating my web presence quickly with an eye on SEO and content as a main lead generator as we are driving for dollars and scraping data from tax delinquency and probate lists.

Setting up a website is great and you can maximize traffic by creating SEO campaigns via Facebook and Google adWords.

I am investing mostly to create cash flow right now and would like to eventually own quite a few units. 

If the LLC borrows money, that the IRA is a member of, then it could create a tax to IRA.You could find a third party IRA to be your lender instead? 

You need to figure out ways to create an advantage over your competition.
