Consumer perception places the real estate agent at the bottom of the trust worthy professions.  

." * Learned how to launch a website - not hard but definitely time-consuming ^^ * And of course, helping to organize this meetup that continues to attract investors from all over who are interested in learning, networking, and empowering themselves with knowledge and contacts.Part of the reason I write these posts is that my path into real estate investing has been 'non-conventional' and maybe it can help others looking for a way to start out.I couldn't do the traditional driving for dollars as I'm an ocean away.

I've already been able to connect to a lot of smart people on the platform and am looking forward to being a bigger part of it going forward.

Studies have *proven* that individuals consume less of everything on average when they are responsible for paying the bill. 

The Chinese have been increasing consumers of US products each year, so if the Chinese are doing poorly, they are purchasing less American products and this affects our stock market. 

Instead of leaving large cash a balances in your bank, I highly recommend looking at their platform.

if you high interest consumer debt pay that off.

I guess if you built it with the intention of having it integrated into an existing PM platform... like Appfolio's, you could set your self up as (as one of our advisory board members says) an "acquisition target".

Feel free to reach out to me with any and all questions you might have about BiggerPockets, investing, or using our platform!

Hi, I have been studying for a couple of months now and ready to take it further through implementation and learning some more from this platform.
