For example, Biggerpocket is extremely useful for the technicality aspect of real estate investing (eg, extremely useful information on how to manage/work with tenants; to understand tax rules and regulations and understand what needs to be done during certain situations) ; but it's less useful when we're asking for opinion for investment (which city to invest,etc).

This is extremely cash flow negative.
