Many people will try and fail, but the ones that learn the correct ways to analyze properties, screen tenants, hire PM's and turn REI into a functioning business model will benefit from significant financial gains.When people says its bad to invest in rentals/flips and the like they are often regurgitating poor information they received from someone else.

Same regurgitated guru-ing.

I know this doesn't answer the question, and I could regurgitate what I read and hear, but instead I'll just say the only thought I have is anyone who speaks about the future as if they have any clue is trying to sell you something. 

I hate the antcipation of waiting for a new book to come in the mail and after reading through it realize it is just regurgitated material.I love to read investing books and want to know which book was most informative, aspiring, or helped you in your REI career and why.

You see EVERYONE regurgitating that advise, and you that don't know better will think.. well if everyone does this it must be good right?

Although many here ar savvy, most regurgitate completely ridiculous things, that someone started saying.I made my fair shares of errors wholesaling because I believed what the masses told me and did, despite my core instinct and logic.Sure ask for advice listen and consider.

But us BiggerPocketers don’t we look at the facts before rushing to judgement or regurgitating what the uninformed crowd does?

All they do is regurgitate what everyone else say and somehow they start believing they know how to!

are people that either have no clue on REI (hence they are on BP to learn) wanna bees that regurgitate old old erroneous info to make it appear they know a thing or two... and others that are successful yet with inferior systems where they have to work at it day in day out to maintain that success.Look for proof, look for the graphs, look for the numbers!

People simply regurgitate this because they heard it from others over and over and over again.The absolute best way to get leads (other than SEO) is do to paid ads.
