The Positive Aspects Of Blogging For Bigger Pockets

[Sharon Vornholt]

For anyone that has been wondering about the postive benefits of blogging for BiggerPockets or hanging out on this site, I wanted to tell you just how valuable it can be for you and your business.

My first "AHA" moment came about last year when I found a cash buyer for one of my houses from Bigger Pockets. He saw that we lived in the same city, and he called me up and said "Do you have anything for sale"? As luck would have it, I did and he bought the property!

Today I had another BiggerPockets moment.

I just got off the phone a little bit ago with a reporter from New York and the publication "Fiscal Times". He was doing a story about real estate investors and the (large) number of transactions that they are now responsible for out of the total sales each month. He estimates that number to be 24%, but some folks think it is nearer 30%.

Our conversation was 100% positive with regards to real estate investors. When I asked how he had come across me, he said "Bigger Pockets". How cool is that?
