@Mindy Jensen hopefully being a writer for the BP blog doesn't disqualify me from answering :)

I'd like to see authors (or guest authors) write a series of posts about the actions they took and the mindset they had to acquire to build a business in/around real estate or real estate services/products. I'd be more intrigued to hear from the "non-traditional" real estate business owners. I want to hear from the guys who have figured out a niche and are grossing several hundred thousand (if not millions) a year.

For instance, I run a small CPA firm and >95% of my clients are real estate investors (much of which I owe to BP!). Sometime next year I'm planning on writing a series of posts detailing the steps I went through to launch the business, the hurdles I faced, and the small wins that led to the big wins. I'd LOVE to see articles similar to this for further motivation and idea generation.

I suppose I'm tired of seeing the same articles that provide general advice about saving, building a portfolio, the 5 steps to quit your job, the 6 steps to become a real estate investor, the 7 steps to wholesale your first deal, how to raise private money, etc. etc. While those topics are imperative for brand new people, many of us have already consumed that information and are craving more details.

I'd like to see more articles that discuss real experiences, provide actionable advice, and create rock solid content that I can utilize and reference when needed. A great example of what I'm talking about is the series Brian Burke wrote on the multi-family myths. He used real experiences, included great detail, and ultimately developed a series of articles that will forever provide useful content to readers.

Perhaps I don't know what sells :) Just my 0.02!
