WongNot everyone is a Quickbooks fan.   

You can tell who is actually passionate about their job and passionate about the market usually pretty quickly.

I didn't have much money, and not much experience but I used my background in finance to put together a syndication and buy an old office building and drive thru on .59 acres with the purpose of developing housing.My passion was creating housing in a city with under 2% vacancy and skyrocketing housing costs.

Hi @Kenzer Hodgson to @Sarah Kensinger's point above, I'm not a fan of so many people spreading legal advice/insight on the forums, but at least it's better than Instagram/Facebook and YouTube. 

It seems there’s BiggerPockets fans and Pace Morby fans out there!

Generally I'm not a fan.

Not a fan of Airbnb or the Airbnb crowd either.I have much more luck with Vrbo!

I’m a fan of SFR.

A BP fan favorite and a great way to snowball overtime. 4️⃣ Invest in Syndications or Private Lending:If you’re not ready to own property yourself, you can passively invest in syndications or become a private lender on fix-and-flip projects.
