Fascination in one type of market has led me to another, real estate investing, and now I'm looking to leverage my ability with numbers in the REI space as well.

They are essentially the same thing you are describing, but sharing an "expert opinion".I am also not a fan of how BiggerPockets itself is doing this same thing in the forum by posting blog posts and you don't have the ability to comment on the posting (because some times I disagree with the posting!)
