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.

@Ben Leybovich . I've learned from your content you've shared here since I first found BiggerPockets. You also deserve a VERY special thank you and here's why: When I first joined BiggerPockets and knew no one here I reached out to you (because of your content) and you responded to me. I'll never forget that!

@Dawn Anastasi you opened my eyes as to what you could get for your dollars. Some of the places you've purchased and the rents you get are incredible! I've been amazed by your posts and what you've done in your real estate investing venture.

@Will Barnard for sharing everything you've done in the way you have has been incredibly inspirational. Man have you opened my eyes! A very special thanks for your tireless commitment to BiggerPockets and constant help to anyone who asks.
Thanks for the shout-out indeed! I'd like to think that I am open to anyone reaching out, and it is certainly nice to know that it does not go unnoticed...

@J Scott for providing the most comprehensive "Meat and Potatoes" with your books and content. There was a guy here who in jest called you the "Wilt Chamberlain" of BiggerPockets. Little did he know that's a true representation of your time and actions with BiggerPockets. You deserve that title any day!

@Brandon Turner should be a given, but better @mention him anyway. His patience and great attitude are greatly appreciated! I'm sure there's nobody on here that hasn't been helped by him. and of course, @Joshua D. for having the vision to create this site, and for constantly listening to everyone and their ideas.

@Ankit Duggal for opening my eyes to investing in real estate without having tenants. Also for the time you've given the local group of BP members with your knowledge. Greatly appreciate your help with that!

@k. Marie Poe and @Rick H. have been so instrumental in expanding my reality. My favorite Friday night activity after getting the kids to bed is to read through their posts and marvel at the creative solutions and knowledge. Thank you!

@Antonio Chasten I'm just starting out in wholesaling and Antonio was a wealth of information on wholesaling and gave a lot of guidance I had not previously read or heard. He has been available when I have had last minute questions come up and is quick to help so I can further determine my next step. He made me aware how tools I had access to were assets to me as a wholesaler and honestly one tool I was about to deactivate. I enjoy knowing he is around to assist when needed and I look forward to working with him long term and JVing in the future. Awesome man! Wealth of information! Thanks Antonio. Had to give you a shout out as soon as I saw this post :)

@Al Williamson - I don't even know where to start... the idea of transformational landlording, the cost savings project... the man's brain is always going

Like everyone else replying there are too many to mention:
@Brandon Turner for his real estate recommended book list....which i searched and subsequently allowed me to find the Bigger Pockets community with its wealth of experience and info
@Michael Blank For putting together a great step-by-step guide to syndicating your my first apartment acquisitions (which is coming together!) also creating an "idiot proff" deal analyzer that has saved me hours of time!
@Brian Burke for being an advisor when i have newbie questions on property analysis and for your expertise on real world financials when analyzing properties sent my way
@Damien Shoemake For continuing to supply me with potential deals especially the off market ones
--------
The networking and information on this site has definitely made my journey easier and more possible to acquire my first aparment building this year on my way to 1,000 units by 2015. Thank you BP! @Joshua D.
Even though he doesn't like mobile homes and that's my niche and he's extremely conservative, I can't deny the vast contributions he's made to my knowledge. Thanks, Bill. I know you invest a lot of time here helping us.

LOL, Thank you for the thought, especially since I'm not in your niche. Really, it's not that I don't like MHs, there are some nice ones and in the right market they can anchor a profitable business. You need to see me on my wild days, LOL. Good luck. :)

@God. Thank you for allowing me free will and although I always seem to think of you when I need you more than when I should I do appreciate what you've given me. Life is great with you in it.

@Darren Sager my realtor-investor/mentor for placing me in front of multi-family income properties that make sense. He also started the bigger pockets meet in north jersey and I was able to network with some great people.
