At the sametime BP  posters/bloggers/OOS shillers were telling everyone how it was really dumb to invest there and they sometimes accompanied with some fake math to convince. 

I'm also reading/listening to books suggested by the guests (rich dad poor dad, abc's of real estate investing. etc.)I know this was a long post but I'm a blogger also and tend to be long winded!

As an example, RealtyShares went bust, yet was heavily promoted by this unscrupulous blogger: https://www.amitmay.com/financial-samurai-sam-doge...Be careful who you trust for investing information, especially for turn key and passive investments.

More like war zones if you'd ask me.I haven't been able to find any of these bloggers/investors who have held their turnkey investment in so called "C class neighborhoods," for more than a year...

However, by the end of 2014, I was helping to organize a Real Estate meetup in Seoul with people I had met through BiggerPockets, had connected with @Joshua Dorkin, @Brandon Turner, and numerous other BP bloggers who came on as guest of our meetup, and had made my first real estate investment in Florida, a state I had never visited with partners I had met online.If you ask me how was able to do all that – the simple answer is hard work.But the hard work actually started in 2013, before I was even thinking about real estate.

I invited some BP Bloggers (including Joshua Dorkin and Brandon Turner) to speak out our meetups virtually and in the process, was able to make some great connections.I've also helped other investors by providing 'consulting.'

We now have over +300 members ^^ We've also had active BP bloggers like @Brandon Turner & even @Joshua Dorkin, CEO of BP, attend out meetups as virtual guests.We meet about once a month in Seoul.

I'm a new (...or not so new) BiggerPockets blogger.
