How would I describe BiggerPockets to a non member? I would say it's the ultimate place where those interested in real estate investing can learn and network with other real estate investors online 24 hours a day. There's a wealth of information, however just like gold mining you have to go through a lot of dirt to find the treasure inside of it. Some of it's treasures are not just information, but the friendships & incredible relationships that have become an integral part of my life because of it. For that reason I think it's priceless.

Well, I don't know about that. It's poetic, and all. And it's true! We've made friendships for a lifetime on BP and through BP.
But, is that the best way to sell BP to a newbie. It's a lofty, but is this what they are looking for - friendships? After all, what they want more than oxygen is to solve a financial problem with real estate...

Biggerpockets, is a place where you can start your journey towards financial freedom. If you are a novice or an experienced real estate investor there is something for everyone. The community is very knowledgeable and forthcoming with their information.

BP is a community for real estate investing "do-ers". It also serves as an inspiration for potential "do-ers" who can learn everything they need to reduce risk before taking the big plunge. A community of generous and awesome people!

My exact words a few days ago:
"A huge real-estate investing forum. Lots of great resources. Look at what people are talking about on it and start googling. Stay away from seminar people."

New to BP , I am looking for a place to do whole selling. And creative finance. Because I am buying and holding. Not much cash in hand to buy it. But I love real estate so much . It hurts when I see deals and have to let it go ...

"The place to go for anything and everything real estate investing related."
Just fyi, I believe there is a typo on question 6 of the survey: "interactive" should be "interact."

Survey Completed!!
@Lauren Hogan In my initial conversations with people who are not familiar with real estate investing, I use the FaceBook comparison to BP. For those who are interested in Real Estate and looking to build their business, I share with them about how BP is such a relevant community for RE investors with such great educational tools, advice, and forums. If that doesn't win them over (which usually does), I share with them about my networking experiences (connections and deals made) and this is the Hook, Line and Sinker!
