I'm excited to learn and feed off of everyone's energy.

Shop your community banks for portfolio financing and then spoon feed them. 

@Will Peters - personally I'm in agreement with the forums feed.

Marry that with the MLM guru pitch and a price point most beginners or newer investors can handle and there ya go.However in the feed back from those who have either dealt with the company or offered feedback.. the communications from what they said was not only poor.. but just down right RUDE.

I could see it being less intrusive than ads in feeds since they are already looking at a bunch of ads. 

Yesterday there was a new post made by an experienced real estate investor whose sole purpose was to take a dump on new investors for no reason other than to feed a delicate ego.So I felt it appropriate to say my thanks to Biggerpockets for teaching me so much about Real estate when I knew absolutely nothing, and with the massive influx of new members lately, I want to express my opinion that BP is mainly for beginners.I started out like every investor here does: stupid and driven by ego, but AMBITIOUS to learn and get started.

A wild cat has the ability to eat, drink, and defend itself for its entire lifetime, but bring it indoors and feed it for a few weeks and it won't leave because well heck, life is a heck of a lot easier in here with this person doing everything for me.
