A few years ago, in my search to learn how to build my real estate portfolio, I stumbled upon BiggerPockets.
I remember being so elated! I felt like I had found the holy grail of info and a tribe that could help me achieve my goals!
But as I dug through the blogs and forums, it all started to seem so overwhelming. Information overload set in, and then it happened—analysis paralysis.
(To give you a sense of the wealth of info here, as of this writing, there are over 8,900 blog articles and 677,000 forum threads, not to mention 18 books AND well over 390 hours of podcast episodes.)
Looking for a better way to consume all of the wonderful information, I stumbled across the BiggerPockets Podcast.
The tides turned!
I could listen to podcast episodes anywhere! On a run, in the car, doing chores around the house—no excuses.
Fast forward to today, the BiggerPockets Podcast has over 320 inspirational and informative episodes. (By the way, I’ve been listening since episode 56.) It would take you over nine weeks of full-time listening to conquer the entire catalog of episodes!
So I thought I would help the newbie investors out by sharing a list of my favorites. These episodes can help get you up to speed, motivated, and headed in the right direction!
