Finished all of the bigger pockets podcast

I Finally finished all of the bigger pockets podcasts. All of them 413 Realestate, 148 money, 79 business, 35 rookie, and 18 daily.

This was my goal since late 2018.

In June I bought a duplex, and I’m getting ready to close a triplex. Will be close to $1200 a month in real cash flow after all expenses. I still like listening to the podcast when I come across some roadblocks with investing, to keep me in the right mindset. Imposter syndrome is what I am struggle of with now.

Goals for the next year will really be doing more networking, keeping property stabilized and looking for distressed property off market.

Good luck to all

I'm right there with you @Account Closed, I got about 250 in and haven't been able to turn on another one. It just started to feel like I had to listen to 60 minutes of average to hear one nugget of information. I've found some other podcasts that give a bit better ROI and have shifted that way.

@Eddie Ward - one of my 2020 goals was to do more networking. With COVID, it's been a struggle. One of my measuring tools of "networking" became measuring the number of 10 minute calls with people in real estate that I have never met before. Extra points if I can be of value to them or vice-versa. My goal was 1 per week, I think i'll finish the year around 60-70 calls. 

The idea behind it was that the more people I can "speak / share my story with" the more people out there that will think of me when the time is right. Expanding the web, so to speak. Good luck!

    Dang.  All of them?  I've been listening to a lot, but they do start to sound similar after a spell.  I'm finding that I actually like the "Rookie" one a lot.  It's shorter, and seems to be more actionable.  I like the emphasis on learning that you have.  Congrats on the triplex!

    I still like the realestate podcast, but I am really excited about the daily one right now. Never have time to read all the blogs.

    I find the audio books and blogs much more focused and helping than the podcast which is more fluff and hype.

    @Eddie Ward That's quite the feat. What are your top 3 podcast episodes (doesn't matter which version)? There must have been a theme to come out of all that information, what are the top 3 things that were repeated over and over?

    @Jeremy Wirths

    Any episode with David green are my favorites.

    And the top 3 thing that are repeated is:

    Treat your realestate like a business

    Save more than you spend

    Have integrity

    One more is hustle

    @Eddie Ward that's quite an accomplishment, congrats! What's even better is you took action and bought a property before finishing all of the podcasts. I'll bet it becomes a lot easier to apply lessons learned from the podcasts now that you are a landlord and well on your way to accomplishing your goals!

    It’s like a puzzle, you get all these pieces from the podcast but you can’t put the puzzle together very well until you have a property.

    That’s what really make all the pieces align.

    They don't emphasize how tricky are the comps and assessing rehab and what are the tactics to use the mls

    I really like that Idea of calling people.  It helps develop your "hustle" skills as a bonus.  

    I'm never going to make it to 250 podcasts. I'll run away screaming :-). The ROI just isn't there so I'm getting more selective on the topics before hitting the archive. I'm liking the blogs more I'll probably hit those. I'm also trying Hunter Thompson's podcasts, but the jury is still out on those.

    True but that just takes time once you find a market and you just watch and go to open houses, you will start picking up on price and condition of properties.

    It's funny people say the ROI isn't there to keep listening to a free podcast.

    Wow! That is a lot of listening! I can't blame you though because I learn something new in every episode I listen to. Imposter syndrome is a real thing, for sure. However, in my experience, it is almost always an unfounded fear. Keep your goals in focus and just focus on what you know (or think) is right. Don't worry too much about the peanut gallery. Good luck!

    Those are the people that value their time and don’t consider their time free.

    There's a saying I like: if you're not paying for the product or service, what's being sold is YOU.

    I don't mind being the "product" being sold, but I do value my time and want to maximize the value I get for it.

    @Eddie Ward

    Great job and congrats on your Real Estate achievement so far.

    I have completed the BP Podcast and the Rookie show as well.

    @Brandon Turner and David Green are doing a great job.

    I'm always looking forward to the next episode because I have made it an habit to always take at least one lesson away from each episodes.

    Happy Investing!

    You are a trooper. I agree that every podcast produces some kind of ROI regardless of whether it is redundant or not. At a minimum, these are some of the sacrifices we must make in order to stay unwavering in our journey to REI success. Another podcast you could tune into is the Real Estate Guys podcast. Its a little bit more business focused, but still on real estate. Keep listening my friend!

    Wow! I'm on the same journey! I started the podcast to listen to them all! I'm on episode seven. I am a newbie to the REI world and genuinely loving the content on biggerpockets. I am out of the Washington D.C area! If I can do anything for a local investor or wholesaler to further your goal, please reach out! What can I do for you?

    Cordially,

    Pedro
