You have your "clickbait" rent strikers and bloggers.......but apparently that didn't affect the bay area anywhere near as much as what people feared when they wrote those click bait articles and posts.  

Some of the bloggers on this site amaze me.

@Katalina Mendoza So far, I’ve read:- The Book on Rental Property Investing- The Book on Investing in Real Estate With No (and Low) Money Down- The Book on Managing Rental Properties - The Book on Flipping Houses- The Book on Estimating Rehab Costs and I am planning on reading these next:- Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat- The Book on Negotiating Real EstateAll of these books have been incredible tools, as well as the various BP podcasts and bloggers.

Sounds like more uninformed bloggers giving advice about topics they have little knowledge of...I always love how investors always want someone to be responsible for the downside of their investments but when asked about how they would share the upside you get crickets...About the closest you will find on covering eviction costs comes in the form of eviction protection programs where for a fee the PM will cover all/partial costs.

On Airbnb we mostly just get ‘travel bloggers.’

To other BP folks reading this, Alicia is a fairly talented writer as well who knows maybe some day she will be a Blogger for BP!  

I soon will be a expert blogger for The BiggerPockets Blog starting in the next few weeks.

A grade B 12-unit in a class C neighborhood of Jacksonville FL and a grade C 16-unit in Cleveland Heights,OH,a class B neighborhood.All the details and every last nuance of this crazy twin deal will be specifically detailed on my next blog post in the members’ blog section.I’m not a designated BP blogger,so you probably won’t find it “featured”.I will however link to it as a comment to this thread once it’s published.So,stay tuned.The law of the fist deal is real,folks!

A lot of people (and bloggers) out there are hellbent on fixating on Day 1 cash flow (come hell or high water), but I've come to the realization that if you really want to sustain early Financial Independence for perpetuity, you will probably make it to the Promise Land a whole lot quicker (and easier) by concentrating the majority of your investment portfolio on the Creme de la Creme assets.Honestly, if I could do it all over again, I never would have bothered wasting my time investing in overpriced turnkey properties and dividend growth stocks, and would have tried to focus a lot more of my investment capital on my own local real estate market (Bay Area)..."
