Done. I'm brand new to BP, but live the podcasts so far. Looking forward to networking with people and landing my first deal in the very near future.

Don't know if you would consider it networking, but "looking for opportunities/deals" is big

Done. I usually have to convince them it isn't some sort of "Get Rich Quick" site. Once I'm beyond that hurdle, they become more intrigued.

Done.
I tell people it's a forum for investors and a great source of advice about RE investing. If they express interest I'll tell them more about the awesome free advice that all the seasoned pros give out, which is amazing, but TBH usually their eyes gloss over.

Done! I'm glad to help out BP! I am a newbie myself but I'm fired up and learning as much as I can while networking as best I can. I greatly appreciate all the resources BP provides and every chance I get I'm telling people about it. I feel like, even though there is now already a huge community, that this is just the beginning of an incredible journey to better the world!

Basically a "Facebook" for real estate investors, an informative network of like-minded individuals and/or teams, feeding off eachother striving to make the world we live in a better place.

As the number one place to start if you have any real estate questions. BiggerPockets is an online community of seasoned and novice investors who learn from and teach each other how to be better, more successful real estate investors. The most important step to growing your business, is education on how to do that. This is where you find that information

It's a community of people who know way more than I do about real estate, and they love to share knowledge.

Full of great information. But overwhelmed by salesmen at times. Great for networking and getting started in real estate.
