It gave us to the tools necessary right at our fingertips to explode out of the gate and not mess around with a lot of the newbie questions and stumble in the usual ways.

And how I stumbled on it.. was someone did it to me.I owned a Timber plot in Oregon and got a letter form an attorney representing a client that wanted to buy it from me..

Having said that though, I also stumbled across this site the other day that contains some interesting stats about worldwide property prices in comparison to income (and other useful info).

Also the idea of doing private questions to pro’s would possibly create more traffic for the pro’s, but I think it would lessen the quality of the site overall, since then people would be asking the same questions repeatedly since it’s not available to search for.While sometimes it is daunting to ask questions, this really is an industry of learning… so people need to face those fears, just like they do with making their first deals :) Of course try the search feature first.I am really glad that I stumbled across this site, and am finding it to be a very valuable resource.

Hi Sam, Just stumbled upon this thread...

Sorry to hear that @James DeRoest so are you still involved with investing or did that stumble you to quit?

I stumbled on this site and have found the tools and forums very helpful!

I had a couple SFR rentals in the past and have purchased a number of primary residences over the years.I am open to exploring different options in REI to see what suits my personality and skill set with the ultimate goal of buying and holding the right properties for long-term passive income.I stumbled upon BP surfing the web and am glad to be here!

I recently stumbled on to real estate investing a few months ago and have been absolutely captivated by it ever since.

This is, of course, no reason to buy the first house you stumble across, as you still need to buy smart to survive in any market.
