Real Estate Rookie podcast episode 449 feedback

[David Butler]

Just listened to episode 449 of the Real Estate Rookie podcast with Diem Martin.  Her story of success is inspiring and she has certainly sacrificed in building her current portfolio.  I am bothered by the casual nature in which Diem speaks about her bankruptcy in that it seems to be one of convenience rather than necessity.  I have every empathy for folks who are hurting especially from instances that are from outside of their control, but filing bankruptcy to get out of debt that she chose to sign up for and promise to pay for the sole purpose of getting ahead faster (her story, not mine) seems less than ethical and Bigger Pockets promoting it is questionable.

Quote from @David Butler:

I haven't heard the whole story, so maybe there's more to it? I know Scott Trench preaches financial responsibility and wouldn't promote it. BP is a growing company with a lot of different viewpoints, so maybe it's not even on his radar.
