They do boast an excellent school district along with very high taxes so it's a trade off that I would never entertain.

Conspicuously off the list were New York, Boston, and San Francisco, which boasted an 11% cost of living ratio of median base salary to home value.

Hahaha @J Scott i mean someone could say they were the best, but then you'll realize you boasted about how awesome you were and everyone on BP is laughing at you.

It is called REI Wholesale Guy.com I knew full well that it would be an overly hyped opportunity full of the usual "broke to millionaire" pitches since the banner ad boast $3,000 - $15,000 dollars in as little as 7 days, but I wanted to honestly get a look at it.

I can't promise that I'll be able to publish any conculusions - BUT, I will point out some very public data about the site, and let you draw some conclusions on it:The "New Member Introductions" tab has less than 15,000 topics.BiggerPockets boasts over 218,000 members on its homepage.One may infer that under 7% of members have introduced themselves in that forum.What does that tell us about the success rate of that 7%?  

These homes boast so much history, that we fall in love with that, but the "integrity" and the cost to maintain that, may outweigh the lower cost.

I could however as you say ,put effort in taking a test rather than boasting a guru, but that's not a viable option for most people and for me.

No doubt, the majority of these posts are written with good intentions but we all make mistakes (including me) so as the old axiom says, “trust but verify.”Be especially careful of undaunted advice and knowledge spewed by people who boast their credentials via “personal testimony,” because that is just what it is... personal testimony.

I felt extremely prepared as I had a sold foundation of knowledge (much to the thanks of many posters on this board) and I've read numerous times about the importance of these meetings.This REIA boasted a reputation as the states largest and most accomplished organization that has transcended the boundaries of other organizations (a paraphrase).

Look for episodes with the title “Power List” in them as it is a strategy he boasts about.
