Separate or together - FIRE blog, real estate website, etc.

How many websites should I have?!? 

So here is my situation. I am a Realtor in Galveston, Tx focusing on working with investors. I personally invest in Galveston and am working on buying some commercial properties as well as a few more Airbnbs.

I've always had the stale IDX provided by my broker but never put the time I should have into growing my online presence. I really would like to start a blog discussing my journey to FI as a way to visually see my growth and help keep me on the right track. My question is should I separate my future website as a Realtor from my blog about FI especially since my primary vehicle for FI is real estate. I want to be able to outline projects I'm working on and returns I'm getting on the site as well as a post at least weekly.

I do have one site. I currently have a side hustle doing Matterport 3D tours and I have a basic one-page site to show examples of work and collect contact info from interested parties. I will need to begin actually utilizing it as well and advertising appropriately.

Another site I would really like to set up soon is a tenant portal. I've been looking into updating my management software due to an upcoming project and liked the abilities of Buildium to integrate into a website. I'd love to set up a tenant site for properties to store document, pay rents, and report issues online. 

To add another curveball to the mix, I have recently been talking to investors about some private money lending. One website I'd love to have is a secure site where I could upload reports, videos, and updates for investors to give an extra level of transparency.

Sooo how many sites do I have? Do I congeal them all into one master site or keep them all individual? For a quick synopsis here are the different sites.

  • Realtor website/blog
  • FIRE blog
  • Matterport 3D tours
  • Tenant Portal
  • Investor Portal

I look forward to hearing your thoughts!
