BiggerPockets was mentioned in the Wall Street Journal today

[Mike Dymski]

"New technologies are making it easier for small-time investors to become out-of-state landlords.

Data services help would-be landlords pick neighborhoods with precision, feeding them detailed reports on sales prices, crime rates and local schools. Online real-estate marketplaces such as Roofstock and Appreciate connect them with financing or local managers who can handle property maintenance and leasing. Content publishers and web forums like BiggerPockets offer up investment strategies and tips on where to buy. As a result, even small housing markets are becoming less local."

I'd post the link to the article but it requires a WSJ subscription to access.
