An Unbiased Opinion For Newbies

As a beginner investor I was overwhelmed by all the help that was offered to me. However it eventually became apparent to me that most of the people I had been talking to were actually turnkey providers trying to sell me a house. I get that they have a buisness to run and this is all part of making a sale, but what concerns me is that newbie investors are getting a biased opinion because their is clearly a conflict of interest if the person giving you advice is also trying to sell you a house. So the question is, how do you get a unbiased opinion in this game?

I think the answer is get your information from a variety of sources.   Hang around here for a while and you start to learn the contributors. You get a feel pretty quickly who is credible and who is not. Some names of credible people.
