The "false scarcity" and "gaslighting" stuff must come from some Instagram guru talking about deep emotional intelligence or relationship problems advice.

The YouTubers and Instagram influencers are the worst "I'm 30 or 35 years old and bought a bunch of properties in the Midwest using Other People's Money and now I quit my W2 in 3 to 5 years and have freedom" and they're charging for their courses or mentorship...

I also DMd you on Instagram after seeing this post. 

It might even make sense to shoot him a DM on instagram.

Social Media Advertising:  Target advertising platforms like Facebook and Instagram to reach out-of-state buyers based on their hobbies and interests. 

If you are looking strictly for cash flow, you can usually find these in *cheaper* markets or "C class" markets.If you are at all interested in investing out-of-state, I do not do this myself, but if you look into "investwithace" on Instagram, he has a lot of content talking about how to do so. 

So 1st of all, I should say the reason I bother to point all of this out is I think biggerpockets is a great value, I’ve met multiple people I consider good friends from this site & hate to see it ruined, to be frank I think since around the pandemic bigger pockets has increasingly been on of the bigger although certainly not the only purveyor of what I would basically consider real estate grift, the no money down buy 10 rental properties, just the other day you guys had Dave Meyer who is truly one of favorite real estate commentators on instagram promoting some program to invest in real estate with no money down and no assets, I know Dave likley doesn’t believe any of that and the social team justprobably made him do that, I think the push of  sub-2 is a scam that takes advantage of old people and very possibly constitutes mortgage fraud, without naming names I think I number of proment bp personalities can be more or less considered grifters promoting their own stuff, while obsetobly working for bigger pockets, I think a key part of any website is basic editorial control and that bp has failed at thet, sorry if that is harsh but I say it because I care lol.  

I was turned off by the local REIA chapter and am seeing a lot of the "Guru" types on Instagram which is a hard pass for me.  

@Kelly MoffittSad tale :-( Who's course did you take?
