Do you look at their profile before considering their opinion?
There are so many people who respond to posts here on BiggerPockets and so many verying opinions. How do you determine for yourself who to listen to?
Do you do what most people do and give credit to those who agree with you and discredit those who do not? Do you take everything that people say as valid opinions? Do you do what I do and look at their profile to see how many deals they have done before you determine whether or not to consider their opinion? If I look at someone’s profile and there is nothing on it that tells me about this person then I don’t tend to take into consideration their opinions because I have no idea about the person or their level of knowledge or experience.
How do you determine what opinions to learn from or adopt and which to discard as you read through the forums?
