Does biggerpockets affect the real estate market?

[Joseph Weisenbloom]

I was pondering this the other day and I looked through the forums and didn't find anything on this. Does biggerpockets affect real estate prices? Follow my logic here. Biggerpockets has hundereds of thousands of users and growing right? Well doesn't this access to information cause more people to be interested in real estate investing as opposed to other investing? 

Not saying its a bad thing but is there any way the proliferation of biggerpockets has had a direct affect on markets? People can more easily invest from a distance, people can more easily collaborate on deals and information can be more easily disseminated to regular people.

Does this make any sense?

Begin discussion.

We're close to 360k members now and reach well over 1.2 million people per month.  Just because people aren't registered as members on the site doesn't mean that BiggerPockets doesn't affect them or their decision making.

BiggerPockets has reached tens of millions of people since our launch.

I believe our impact is far greater that I even think.

Just throwing that in....
