This may sound odd but...
why are investors so helpful to each other? You don't see this in other businesses. It's getting harder to find flips these days. So while I appreciate all the help, I do wonder do you guys ever feel like you are creating a competition problem? I see all these books and YouTube videos and wonder why people share their secrets. Again as a beginner I'm not complaining. But you don't see mcdonalds telling Burger King how to make a burger.

Many people believe that what they send out into the world comes back to them many fold. Others have had a hand up, and they want to pay it forward.
