Hey Guys -

We thought we'd put out an open call for those folks who might be interested in being a guest on the BiggerPockets Podcast. If you're a listener, you probably know that we love talking to investors of all levels of experience and we want to meet people who work in all the various niches of investing.

If you want to share your story and help others learn from your experiences, being a guest is a great opportunity. It is also an incredible tool for helping you build your business, as the exposure is second to none -- with 150,000 listeners per show on average, you're bound to find new colleagues, associates and partners.

What Do You Need to Be on The Show?

The requirements are:

1 - You must be personable and have the ability to answer questions with more than one word answers.

2 - You must have high-speed internet of at least 15 mb/s (preferably 20mb+)

3 - You must have a web camera (we record audio and video for all shows) and we do require a decent microphone. If you don't have the equipment, you can get it for under $100 and the money spent will be returned in spades.

4 - You must have at least 10 deals under your belt.

5 - You must not be coming on to pitch in any way. If you think you can get a pitch in, think again.

NOTE - If you submit yourself as a guest, rest assured we have your information. There is no need to follow up. If we are interested, we will get in touch with you. Submitting your interest is NOT a guarantee or promise that we will invite you to come on the podcast.

How Do I Submit My Interest?

Simply Click this Link or go to http://www.biggerpockets.com/guest and fill out the form.

Thanks in advance and we'll look forward to hearing from you.

 Mindy, I'd recommend one more podcast requirement:

6 - You must have been in the Real Estate business for at least 10 years.

Sorry, but I don't care how many deals they've done, if they haven't lived through at least 1 full Real Estate cycle, then they are a newbie and should not be giving advice on a podcast. Can't name how many previous podcasts come off like: look at me, how cool I am, I've been in the business 4 years and have done a gazillion deals with no money down ... I'm leveraged to the hilt, have low margins, and only one exit, but that doesn't matter because all I've ever seen are green pastures. LOL. This results in some seriously dangerous advice for your impressionable young listeners. Please for your listeners' sake, add this rule ...

    You had me interested until requirement #1 -ability to respond with more than one word answers. Is there a waiver process? 

    LOL. Kidding, of course.  Looking forward to BP's continued podcast success with awesome guests, Mindy!

    @Bruce Petersen   @Mindy Jensen  Mindy I think Bruce would be excellent at this time.. as so many are concerned or wondering if Multi is just too frothy right now.. it would be a bet a nice show for your audience to be able to hear his thoughts on the current market and trends.

    I know here in PDX Multi is starting to tip over in some areas..

     I just looked at a pig $100,000/door for $550/door GPI. Made me laugh out-loud. If Phoenix MSA is a little frothy, I am a ballerina in Moscow Ballet.

     You know who else would be great for a podcast? Jay freakin' Hinrichs! Assuming he would want to and could have one of his younger staff members help him clear the technology requirement ... just sayin!

    Pick me!  Pick me!  Oh, wait...you already did, three times but I'm still lobbying to be the first four-timer before @Ben Leybovich takes the spot.  (Wink, wink).

    But hey, you don't want me hogging the show so how about I produce an episode?  No, not like that...I mean let's have @Jay Hinrichs fly his Cirrus down to Santa Rosa, I'll pick him up at the airport and bring him to Praxis Capital world headquarters and he can do his podcast from here. No more keeping the BP community waiting in the wings, pun intended.

     Good for you! Patrisha has her heart set on another S, doesn't like the X. So that's going to be next for us.

    @Ben Leybovich  Ben its not that hard.. line up on the run way.. push the throttle to the stops.. at 1000 ft AGL pop on the auto pilot..  ( flight plan already loaded)  altitude capture set.. then monitor the systems until your about 20 miles out.. descend and land.. simple.. as they say flying is hours of boarded with 3 minutes of terror.

    David Faulkner nailed it! Tired of hearing the young buck with little experience. Bring on some experienced folks who have seen the good and he bad. I tune out as soon as I hear the guest is under 30.

    Financing the purchase and maintenance for a plane is a far trickier and riskier feat than flying it. Skype, on the other hand, now that's tough! LOL.
