Hi All,Boostly does great Direct Booking websites but I'm not sure if they actually offer search engine optimization services (SEO) last time I checked.

If you want to optimize for Organic, it probably does that as well as any competitor.

Optimize operations to save time and costs, and small upgrades like smart locks or quality linens can noticeably boost your income.

Connecting early with a CPA who understands real estate is a smart move so your first investment is structured for optimal tax advantages.

Cold calling, door knocking, direct mail, signs, flyers, networking, PPC, SEO, blogging, guest posting.I've bought nearly all of my properties by calling FSBOs.Start with things that are free or nearly free like running Facebook Marketplace ads, calling FSBOs, posting signs, and networking with everyone you meet and see if you get enough leads to keep you busy before delving into the things that take a lot of time (cold calling, door knocking, SEO) or money (direct mail, PPC).

Here is the problem that often arises with that; Many Real Estate agents are focused on selling you a house, not helping you back out of a deal, so they tend to give you a lot of optimism instead of sober reality. 

When the transition happens back to recovery and expansion it will almost be too late to take advantage of it because of the aforementioned blurring of the lines.Is this a hot take or eternal optimism?

If you are someone who's really hands on and want to do lots of tweaks yourself to optimize comfort and save energy, then smart thermostat might be an upgrade to your vacation rental property.

I’ve seen investors in similar situations build strong foundations by using that time to optimize operations and line up creative financing strategies for when the market shifts. 

I made a comment how two of their links aren't optimized.
