But the buck doesn’t stop there\u2014and neither should your education. There are so<\/em> many resources available on the internet. In no particular order, here’s a list of the best blogs for real estate investors. Some of these are fairly mainstream; some are more niche. But all are websites I frequent often for advice, ideas, and research.<\/p>\n If you want to maximize your REI knowledge, these blogs can help you do that.<\/p>\n I know I just finished saying these weren\u2019t in any particular order, but I must give props where props are due. BiggerPockets<\/a> is the single largest real estate investing platform in the world and directly responsible for a ton of my success as an investor.<\/p>\n Related:<\/strong> 13 Books to Take Beginners From Zero to Real Estate Investing Hero<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n I stumbled across BiggerPockets in 2015 after reading Rich Dad Poor Dad<\/em><\/a>. As I started trying to learn more about real estate, I would be listening to a book or podcast, and any time I had questions about something I had just learned, I would consult the oracle (Google). I started to notice that there was this one website (BiggerPockets) that kept popping up toward the top of the search results and always had good information.<\/p>\n After a few days or weeks of this, I eventually joined BiggerPockets and started searching for the answers to my questions directly on their website. It didn\u2019t take long before I had fallen in love with all the platform had to offer and became a Pro member<\/a>.<\/p>\n Real Estate Investing<\/a> is another solid blog, with an extremely convenient domain. I\u2019ve gotten to contribute an article or two to this website and talked with the owner a few times. There is a lot of good information here, and I recommend checking it out when you get the chance.<\/p>\n Lucas Hall is the man!<\/p>\n That might be all I need to say about this website, but in case you\u2019re (slightly) confused, Lucas Hall is the founder of Landlordology<\/a> and a personal friend. Lucas was a very early employee of Cozy.co when they purchased Landlordology and hired him to help them build out their awesome property management software.<\/p>\n Cozy.co was then purchased by Apartments.com, and Lucas has helped them develop even more cool property management features. Landlordology is full of the best tools and resources for independent landlords and has a ton of great information on state laws and regulations, landlord guides, advice, and much more.<\/p>\n Somehow I think it would be inappropriate for me to say \u201cDavid Pere is the man!\u201d David Pere is\u2026 me.<\/p>\n From Military to Millionaire<\/a> started as a way for me to document my real estate investing journey as I was looking to get better at writing (it is therapeutic) and struggling to come up with things worth writing about. It was actually Brandon Turner’s idea to start a blog in the first place, to document my journey, and even to start a podcast.<\/p>\n I never would have guessed it would grow as it has over the last 2+ years, but it has been fun learning how to blog and, well, write sentences in general.<\/p>\n The Military Millionaire community exists to help service members, veterans, and their spouses learn how to build wealth through real estate investing, entrepreneurship, and personal finance, although most of what we discuss is applicable to anybody (with, of course, a few exceptions like the VA loan<\/a> program).<\/p>\n You may be familiar with Chad \u201cCoach\u201d Carson<\/a> from his BiggerPockets book Retire Early with Real Estate<\/em><\/a>. <\/em>Chad has been investing in real estate for a long time, and his book is full of valuable lessons and practical advice to live by.<\/p>\n Chad is a very genuine real estate coach, and I have always enjoyed his transparency. Not many real estate investors will write in a book that one of their mistakes was buying too much real estate and needing to scale back.<\/p>\n Having been an investor through the 2008 recession has helped Chad balance growth and risk allocations in his portfolio.<\/p>\n Related:<\/em><\/strong> Listen Up: These Are the Top 9 Podcasts for Real Estate Investors<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n Seth Williams is the founder of REtipster<\/a>, a real estate investing blog that talks a lot about investing in raw land and some pretty cool land-investing strategies. I\u2019ve always enjoyed talking with Seth at conferences, and he is a knowledgeable and transparent investor.<\/p>\n Seth\u2019s website is easy to navigate and very user-friendly. He talks about more than just investing in land on his platform, so don\u2019t writeoff this awesome resource just because you don\u2019t buy land (yet).<\/p>\n Julian Sage of Short Term Sage<\/a> is the s<\/em>hort-term rental (STR) guy. I have had the pleasure of knowing Julian for a couple of years now, and he is in a mastermind group we host for service members. Julian is on active duty in the Coast Guard and has become an expert in the short-term rental space, hosting not one, but two, of the top short-term rental podcasts on iTunes.<\/p>\n Not only does Julian talk about traditional short-term rental strategies, but he also talks about rental arbitrage, STR property management, and even multifamily STR opportunities with apartment buildings.<\/p>\n It is interesting stuff, from a fellow active-duty entrepreneur, and I\u2019m excited to see what the future holds for him.<\/p>\n Mark Ferguson of InvestFourMore<\/a> is a prolific author, having written nine books, including The Book on Negotiating Real Estate<\/em><\/a>, which is published by BiggerPockets.<\/p>\n I first remember hearing about Mark when I stumbled across an article about his buying a blue Lamborghini Diablo after achieving success through real estate. I\u2019ve been a fan of Mark\u2019s for a while now, and that has only improved because he was cool enough to interact with me periodically when my platform was new.<\/p>\n Mark has been investing in real estate since 2001 as a house flipper, landlord, and real estate agent. He knows what he is doing, and his site is easy to navigate.<\/p>\n I met Dustin Heiner from Master Passive Income<\/a> at FinCon 2018 in Orlando. We hit it off talking about real estate investing and have stayed in touch since that time.<\/p>\n Dustin is another successful real estate investor who was able to quit his job and achieve financial freedom through real estate investing. He focuses exclusively on buy and hold investing and has a solid website to peruse for all things rental property.<\/p>\n Alexander Felice and I also met at FinCon 2018 and have hung out at several other conferences since that time. As showcased at Broke Is a Choice<\/a>, Alex is a talented writer, but his photo blogs from conferences are some of my favorite things on the internet. He is also the co-host of The Military Millionaire Podcast<\/a>, host of the BiggerPockets Meet the Investors YouTube series<\/a>, and an avid photographer and videographer for real estate investors.<\/p>\n If you can handle a loud, contrarian personality, who is sure to make you rethink some personal beliefs, Alex is absolutely worth following. If I wanted to ensure I never heard the end of it, I might even say he is one of my favorite people and greatest mentors in life\u2026but I don\u2019t, so I won\u2019t.<\/p>\nThe Top 11 Blogs for Real Estate Investors<\/h2>\n
