But that's an oversimplification--there are probably some very smart people that bought some of these deals. 

Haven't bought a property in awhile.If I submit an offer, does the offer include the commission or not?  

Running a sort of mini poll:How many users purchase BiggerPockets Pro, and what are some of the features provided that help justify the monthly price point to those of you that have bought it?

My partner and I bought a home in South Florida end of 2021 with the intent of doing a small Reno and then airbnb/vrbo and then blocking out the dates we wanted to use the property.  

I just bought 5 houses in 5 days in 3 states, 1 of the states I never bought property before. 

My business is built around doing deals for out of state investors and my mind is BLOWN by how many flat out refuse to come visit, meet our staff or walk the property that they bought and we are rehabbing for them.

I use the last property I bought as an example.

Purchase price: $150,000 Cash invested: $90,000 Bought as a forclosure gut job.

Quote from @Sandra Regnell: I bought a property from Memphis Invest investments in fall of 2023.

I bought my first property a few years ago, but life (and COVID) put my real estate plans on hold.
