Unless you are buying really large properties I think most of the news and hype is probably too broad of an information band to be useful.

And there are so many scummy slimeballs everywhere selling their "courses" that don't take the real world into account because of their lack of experience or just plain fraudulent morality where they know anything sells if its hyped enough.  95% of the "courses" are rubbish and are just regurgitated material than anyone with a bit of reading or experience knows already. 

I started a thread on BP to try and get other investors to come up with ideas that deliver rather than just late night tv hype. 

I know they sell a lot of properties but there is way too much hype and I'm too old to deal with it.

a lot of the online hype makes it seem like you're doing something wrong if you're not buying, but it's much better to be in a stronger financial position.hope this helps.
