Hello BiggerPockets community!

BiggerPockets is working on a piece that will share all relief programs that might be available to Americans (disaster relief, financial relief, unemployment, medical, etc). Please let us know of any programs you might be aware of that would be a great addition to this piece. Thank you!

Hello Newbies! As always, I am here to share one of our new releases that you might find helpful as new buyers/investors. Today we released our latest ultimate guide - "The First-Time Home Buyer's Guide". You can check it this guide and other's on our Guide's Page!

Hello Everyone! Just wanted to provide a quick update on the Glossary. Here is everything that has been added since the Glossary's creation that you might find helpful:

- Search! You can now use the search bar at the top of the page to search for an individual term. 

- Saved Content! You can click the "save" button on the top left of the glossary to save the glossary to your "saved content" within your BP dashboard. 

- Individual pages! We are really excited about this one, we have slowly been adding pages attached to each term. These pages go into a bit more detail about the term and how it is applied within REI. If you see a "learn more" blue button under the term, you can click thru to the full page. We are slowly working on these and not every term has a page so please be patient with us as we roll this out!

Hello Everyone! 

I am thrilled to announce you can now search for terms through a search bar on the glossary! Should you not be able to find the term you are looking for you can submit that term to be defined on the glossary page!

@Paul Moorer Great question! There are two things you can do to make sure the glossary is easily accessible. 1. Click the "save" button on the top left of the page - this will save it on your BP profile and you can get to it by clicking your profile drop down and then click on "saved". The other option is the good old fashioned way of bookmarking it to your browser. Hope this helps! 

HI @Brian J. Kendrick Thank you so much. We are working on adding a submission form on the glossary page but for now you can just mention me here and i will add it to my list to add. Thanks! 

Hi @Todd Ayers Here is the definition from our new glossary "This is an examination of the prices of different properties within the same area as the property a buyer is considering for purchase. Real estate agents perform this analysis to determine an accurate listing price."

Essentially, your real estate agent should provide you with "comparable" properties in the same area, it basically is another way to know that you are getting a good deal but looking at similar properties. 

Thanks for the feedback Courtney! It has been added to the glossary. Look out in the next couple of months to another iteration of the glossary where we will be building out full pages for each term that go more in depth! 

Yes! We are working on building a feature where you can request it on the page but for now feel free to post terms here you would like defined or you can DM me a list of terms you think would be useful! 

Hey Everyone! 

If you are new to BiggerPockets and Real Estate Investing, you might feel a little lost when it comes to all the REI terms that are thrown around in the Forums. Be sure to bookmark our Glossary where you can easily look up terms and their definitions!
