BiggerPockets.com has done a tremendous job of aggregating information on Real Estate topics through blogs, articles, and forums. As investors, understanding how to sift through data and analyze potential deals is absolutely critical.
One of my favorite sources of Real Estate information is the American Real Estate Society, which publishes numerous journals, available for free, online! Their articles do not provide catchy win-win money making deals, or creative financing, but offer good, in depth analysis.
Understanding how the authors track price indices and analyze effects on cash flow and affordability, will give you ideas on how to investigate your housing market. Learn why running a hedonic regression analysis to determine how important staging affects value or whether Real Estate truly offers a hedge against inflation is important.
