Bigger government or BiggerPockets?

 I am not new to real estate investing but I am new to BiggerPockets.   BiggerPockets is absolutely the right idea at the right time.  

Real estate investment is accessible to a large number and wide range  people.  I feel that those of us who have been in the industry and have had success and experience  have an obligation to give back and lend a helping hand to those that are getting started. 

 In many ways I feel our public schools have failed to prepare people for life in the business world.  The BiggerPockets format  fills part of that void that is left by our  schools. 

 Too many people look to the government for solutions  and support.  If  experienced  entrepreneurs and investors start mentoring those that are just starting out  maybe it would reduce the number of people looking to the government for  answers. 

 If government officials would be mentoring people and moving them away from government assistance, those same government officials might lose their jobs.  😉
