Advice to Bigger Pockets to Improve the Credibility !!!

Advice to Bigger Pockets,

I think it is great you actively inspire people through podcasts and other various forms of media! However, it is evident that BP is not doing a thorough validation to separate the truth from fabrication. Without saying any names. I took the time out to validate some of the information that the interviewers were portraying, which is public info like rent amounts and other licensed credentials and I have found "not all" but some stuff not to be valid. Also, for example from someone who is an engineer and does special trade work. The timelines for the rehabs just don't make sense how somethings are mathematically even possible.

As time goes on if a more thorough validation process is not in place, I can see this affecting your credibility. Hopefully more people will open there ears and listen to the podcast closer, so more of this can surface. Anyone else have any thoughts ?

@Darius Kellar I'm not sure of the specifics you're speaking of, but you have to remember that the vast majority of the people on the podcasts are exceptions to the rule.

Many were at the exact right place at the exact right time, and made the perfect decision for their situation. I'm not suggesting that they didnt work hard, but outside influences played a major part in their success.
