The Top Real Estate Investing Blogs
To put this list together, we looked at close to 200 different blogs from both real estate investing-related companies and individual real estate investors. Here are a few things of note about the blogs selected:
- Any included blogs have been recommended by at least several people that I respect
- They are updated on a regular basis
- I generally have respect for the blogger/bloggers
- Their content is educational and informative
There are many other quality real estate investing blogs out there, but they couldn’t all make the list for one reason or another Most didn’t make the cut for the following reasons:
- They were no longer active or were simply not posting at a regular frequency
- The blog spent too much time on topics other than real estate
- The blog was primarily a corporate blog, promoting the services of the company instead of providing top quality content for investors to learn from
- The blog spent too much time simply promoting products and services (affiliate or other)
- The blog used some other tactics that annoyed me upon repeated visits.
I recommend you check these out, add them to your reader, and participate on them by sharing your thoughts in the comments after reading articles on them. With all that in mind, lets take a look at the top 20 blogs (in alphabetical order, not of preference):

What an awesome list. Thanks for the honorable mention! Honored to be included with these really solid REI blogs.
My pleasure, Matt! Yours is relatively new, but you’re on the right track. Don’t slack off now!
No finer list has ever been assembled Joshua! I’m honored to be listed.
You very much deserve it, Scott. “Struggling to get started” is a great blog, and hopefully will help many other REIs going! Keep it up.
Very much appreciated — I’m humbled, and honored. I also see my reader will be having some new sources — thanks for that too.
Jeff – You’re the grandpappy of this list . . . no one here with more time in the game than you. I’m honored to have you on the list and as one of our regular contributors!

Guess we just need to try a little bit harder…well congrats to everyone else.
Thanks Josh! What an absolute honour to make the top 10 from a list of 200 to start with. Thank you for creating Bigger Pockets. It’s such a great place to meet like minded folks, exchange great ideas and grow as investors and bloggers. I appreciate all that you do and really appreciate the big shout out in the Top 10 list!!
You and Dave do good work, Julie, and deserve to be on the list for sure. Congrats!
Wow! Thanks so much for the mention, Josh! There are a few on the list I am unfamiliar with so I’m looking forward to following them! What an honor, thanks again
I’m glad to expose some new blogs to you and the others, Shae. Now that you’re retired from the real world, I look forward to reading more about the real estate exploits in the blog.
Woooooohooo- I made it, I made it!!
Thanks so much for adding me to the list Josh- it’s an honor to be a part of it!
And congrats to all my fellow bloggers who made the list, too- keep up the great work everybody!
Congrats Steph! You do a good job and definitely deserve to be on the list. The women are taking over!
What a great list Joshua. Congrats to all that made it. I’m still a baby in the bloggosphere. Hopefully, I’ll make the list next time
Very well deserved guys, keep up the good work.
Work hard, do deals, share insight, be proactive, and people will look at your blog in a similar light, Esi. See you around the net and BiggerPockets!
I love blogs like this. It always gives me a chance to discover new reading and I love to read. Looks like I need to go out and find some new subscriptions! Thanks Joshua!!
Make it happen, Lisa!
Thanks for the shout out Josh! You guys rock.
Thanks Tom. That means a lot coming from you. You do an incredible job and are certainly one of the most respected REI bloggers out there. Keep it up.
This is a great list and quite a few that we were not familiar with. As a NEW Kid on the Block we hope to be mentioned one day. Now to go and check out the blogs listed.
Thanks Josh! I’m excited to be part of such an accomplished list. Keeps me motivated to continue to keep blogging.
Bigger Pockets is a great place, I just wish I had more hours in the day.
Steve – You do a great job and deserve a place on the list!
Wow Joshua….awesome list of blogs here, many of which I read religiously.
And thanks so much for the honorable mention….I must admit that I do have to read my blog more than the others lol just a lil blogging humor (I sure hope at least one person lol’d
Thanks again! I’ll have to crank it up a lil so I can make the OFFICIAL list next time
Thanks for stopping by, Carey! You’re doing good work – cranking it up could make you dangerous!
Wow…. thanks Josh!!!!
I can’t believe we made the list out of close to 200 blogs reviewed. Much appreciated.
I love coming to Biggerpockets to read and share what I can!!!!
Matt – I only recently found your blog, and enjoyed flipping through all of your deals. Thanks for sharing with everyone.
Hopefully we’ll see a little more of you on the forums and elsewhere on BP when you’ve got some time!
wow.thanks for your sharing
Congrats to all who made it!
I was just happy to know to know that I already have several of these set bookmarked, plus tons of new stuff to read.
Josh, thanks for including my blog as part of the list. As a relative newcomer to the real estate game, it’s an honor to be recognized among such an elite group. The blog is only going to grow and improve over time.
Congrats to my fellow bloggers who made the list, I’ve learned about a number of new blogs that I’ll begin to follow.
Keep up the great work!
Keep it up, Joe. I think others can learn from the blog of a newbie just as they can from someone at it for a long time. It is all about how you present your words, IMO. Keep doing what you do, and we’ll see you around.
Oh, wow! Thanks for including me on this list, Josh. I am truly honored and humbled for the Honorable Mention among this list of heavy hitters. I’m surprised to have been on this list, I had no idea how much of an impact my blog has had especially since it’s such a small area and niche of real estate investing. Thank you Josh, BP rocks!
Rachel – It isn’t the size of the niche or area that matters; what matters here is that you’re sharing top quality information that others can learn from. You’re one of the bloggers that doubles as a social butterfly, and it is always nice when you’re in our neck of the woods. Congrats and keep it up!
Wow what a great list. Where will I find the time to get all this content? Thanks so much for sharing these resources. Maybe I can get my blog on the list next time?
Hey Joshua,
You should make a little icon we can all display on our blogs. Be a great way to thankyou with a little backlink love. What do you think?
Not a bad idea, Scott. Do me a favor and beat me on the head about it in a day or two, and we’ll see what we can whip up.
Josh,
I’m simply stunned. I just got done razzing Scott for having such a good blog and getting mentioned. Now I feel like a pinto next to these Ferrari blogs. I really appreciate the mention. It means a great deal.
Jason
You were mentioned for a reason, Jason. Like I said in the post, you guys “beat out” hundreds of others, so you’re definitely doing something right. Keep it up. Oh, and feel free to keep razzing Scott.
Josh – Don’t know how you found us, but I’m glad you did. We’re glad to be a part of this list and contribute knowledge from the commercial side of things. Keep up the good work.
– The Llenrock Team
Hey Dave –
You guys do a nice job, and represent the commercial side of things quite well, in my opinion. I don’t recall where I found you, but I’m glad we did.
Hey, man – I just discovered I made the list…THANKS SO MUCH. I’m humbled…and it’s great to have my hard work over on the blog rewarded.
And to be surrounded by so many of my well-deserving colleagues in the REI blogosphere…thank you. Much obliged, my friend.

You deserve to be on the list JP. Keep doing what you do. Best, Josh
