Is BP too risky for 2018?

Since getting a W2 job two months ago, I've focused my spare time (and mental energy) on managing and investing my fixed income. 

The two biggest sources of information/inspiration have been Bigger Pockets (BP) and a financial blog called Mr Money Mustache (MMM). On whole, BP is more about growth and opportunity. MMM has a more conservative live below your means approach. Both appeal to me. This morning I read a MMM forum post that I think gives a fair critique to BP:

Personally, I love the podcast and feel like the hosts do a great job selecting and interviewing guests. I also know it's not going to be easy to find deals in the current market. I want to take action. But I'm also okay spending the next year or two learning, networking and saving for the next market correction.

Does anyone else resonate with the 'slow your role BP' MMM folks?
