Hello eXp agents,

I understand the $85 monthly brokerage fee includes a Wordpress website and lead generation tools. My full time profession is marketing and media production (content creation, digital marketing, website design and optimization, sales funnels, etc.)

My question is this:

Since I have the professional chops to make a killer website, should I create my own site in lieu of the eXp provided site? Or can I fully customize the Wordpress site they provide? 

I am not sure how easily the lead gen tools and listing database integrate if I create my own or how much technical support eXp provides. 

Any insight or your experience with your website or the lead gen tool is appreciated!

Hi Michael,

Thanks for the note. I did utilize the tool and requested contact from the agent that popped up. 

I figured posting in here wouldn't hurt.

Hello BP fam,

I'm considering a move to NYC and am looking to connect with an investor savvy agent to have a conversation. 

Specifically looking for insight on: 

-Single family

-The short term rental market & HOA in the area

-Any areas that are ideal for an investment outside of the popular areas

-General must know info

Grateful for any referrals!

Hey BP,

I'm stoked to announce I have my first duplex under contract! I will be an owner/occupant and with all the perks from being a first time home buyer I only had to put a few thousand dollars in the deal!! Once I buff out my reserves a bit for this property I'll be looking forward to my next investment very soon.

With the boosts in my savings rate from lower housing costs thanks to the duplex as well as pay increases from my career...my question for all of you is...where is the best place to grow my money for the next property? 

Should I open a Roth IRA and place money in some different ETFs, REITS, and maybe a splash of crypto? I'm willing to risk some in the market but for the most part I'm looking for an "accelerated savings" so to speak. I want to be able to access the capital anytime I want but have it (hopefully) grow over the 1-2 years instead of it remaining stagnant in a savings account.

I know there's a ton of resources but I wanted to get some thoughts from the BP crew that will point me in the right direction.

I'm grateful for any insight!
