I'm doing it for financial independence, retirement, and because it's relatively addicting.

I'm fairly new, but addicted to reading the forums.  

May be arranging that in bullets will highlight the benefits a little better.BP is very addictive for anyone who has any interest in real estate investing, so by giving beginners a taste of what they can enjoy by signing up will definitely increase in number of registered users.Hope this helps.

When BP starts giving you AWARDS and one of them is Addict!

I just joined BP and am addicted to the forums.

I'm a stay at home mom with a slight addiction to real estate.

You will receive an Addict award along with a habit; as well as learning and retaining useful real estate information without struggling. 

I am addicted to the podcasts and have started reading/educating myself with any spare time I can manage.My wife and I are currently rehabbing our primary residence to sell it and gain some capital to make a good run at this. 

I have spent the last several months visiting multi-unit properties, building cash flow models, speaking with a few experienced individuals and researching through articles and podcasts.I have loved every step, and as my broker (who's been a big mentor) suggested, "you're going to become addicted."

I'm addicted to it already :)  This place has so much good information!
