Newbie Advice on Finding Answers

[Brian Tran]

Hello,

I've heard countless times from podcasts and people that you can use the forums to get your questions answered. I've been using the search engine at the top right and I was curious if anyone had an efficient way of finding answers to questions that come up. I'm sure there's questions that get asked several times and I'm wondering if other BPers are running into the same problem or I'm not utilizing the forum search correctly. Is there an efficient way to find answers to questions besides typing in the search engine (which personally i've had a hard time using) or do you just post your questions where chances are have been asked before?

My second question is how do you go about your daily browsing through the forum? Do you browse the top trending and just scroll through the posts on the pages? Or do you go through specific forums and browse there? Wanting to get ideas to improve my BiggerPockets browsing.

Any answers would be much appreciated, thank you!
