How has Bigger Pockets helped you personally?

[Alex Lyon]

I'm writing an article about BP for a real publisher. Could some of you, especially new-ish investors, comment on BP? I'm especially interested in a) how BP has helped you, b) how BP is different than the "guru" or expert real estate learning options out there, and c) what do you think of the peer-to-peer type community education that happens through BP?
