Name something you've learned from someone on BiggerPockets (podcast, forums, blog, whatever) and tag the person from whom you learned it. Name as many people as you want, but please limit your posts to one-person-per-post.

    @Jon Holdman and @Bill Gulley

    They have really helped me, especially Bill. I have learned a lot about commercial real estate from Bill.

    @Ned Carey -for reaching out almost a year ago when I was getting "teased" on a local REIA forum, which started me on BP and local Meetups, and for always being available to answer questions. Followed by @J Scott and @Tyrus Shivers for also providing advice and being generous with their time . . . and to @Terry Royce for staying on my case and keeping me accountable, especially when it's hard to stay the course.

    Last shout out to @Jerry Puckett for doing my first YL campaign that I'm currently in and to the entire BP Nation. I know we were supposed to only mention one person per post (I think) but I can't help myself!

    I don't post alot as I am still in the learning phase and only contribute where I am knowledgeable.

    One year ago I knew NOTHING about Rei and today I can honestly say BiggerPockets has played a significant role in my education.

    I want to thank everyone (too many names) who takes the time to put the relevant information out there for us newbies.

    Thank you all!!

    Hard to remember all those involved, but @Jon Holdman, @ben from ohio, Mr. Blank, are some of my favorites off the top of my head.

    @George P.

    I like BP for entertainment purposes your correct I do not need BP per se for any kind of income.... I have plenty of contacts through out the country.

    And I am learning as well... never too old or experienced to learn and NO one is a total expert at RE..

    Plus I type 40 words a minute and there is spell check on here so all is good

    In full disclosure I have sold 3 of my OREO's on BP so in that manner it was worth paying for the subscription.. I like it better than sticking stuff on Craigs list.. this is much easier and more effective.

    And I have helped now 3 folks fund small deals ( 200k and under) that I met here on BP...

    And other than a few subdivisions that are 7 figure deals here in Oregon my average deal I do nationwide is under 100k... I don't want anyone thinking I am swinging multi million dollar deals each week because I am certainly not doing that.. Just a bunch of small one's with long time JV partners.. by long time I mean 7 to 15 years .. And guys that are obviously very very experienced. that said the few deals I have done with BP folks that I met here were first timers or close to first timers.. but they put in 20 t0 30 % of the deal in their own cash. I will not do 100% my money and your great idea.. I do those for my long term established JV partners but would not do that for anyone I met on line here.

    Thanks for the thanks folks. Being retired means never having to say you're sorry for getting involved in some deal somewhere I'm not familiar with. I don't know what I don't know and I know enough to know I need to know.

    I have to say @Ken Rishel has given some great information for MH operators and recent compliance matters, many probably benefit more than they realize as staying legal isn't really putting money in your pocket, but a penny saved is a penny earned and his advice could easily save others tens of thousands of dollars, maybe more. :)

    SO many folks! It gets hard to remember what you picked up from who.

    But of course, first shout out should be to @Joshua D. , for having the vision to create this community

    Thanks Ben,

    A big thanks I'd say needs to go out to @Jerry W. @Account Closed

    and @Adrian, (who I can't pull up,) our member attorneys that toss in a dollars worth to most of out 2 cents worth have been great contributions. While they don't give legal advice here on line, they have solid opinions they share that can be relied on in conceptual matters. :)
