Question

Where do you go for your up to date local REI news? Do you have a preference when it comes to blogs, online papers, print, radio, tv, your network, or elsewhere? What are some of your personal favorites and why?

Twitter can be a good source of local, up-to-date real estate news.... search by area and follow local knowledgeable  investors/agents for quick and timely info.

Hi, well I first go to government sites, HUD, FDIC, and Congressional Reports. I also go to Fanni and Freddie underwriting guidelines and SBA .
          
          A good site for Landlords is NAHRO....
          Economic Development at the state level is a good source for low-mod housing projects and redevelopment.
          
          As to investor sites I'm stuck on this site and it seems to have the cream of the crop as investors go. Investors on this site strike me as being more professional and knowledgable than other sites I have visited. I'm also active in blogs and forums on RE Investor dot com too.
          
          I don't take print media any more as it's all on line. I'm interested in providing an educational source for investors, not a guru thing, but a college level real estate course at a very low cost. If one exists, I'd like to know about it. All that I have found are fronts for guru programs. Maybe the best thing to do is to simply blog about topics that investors should be aware of.....since it seems so far that if you are not offering a way to make money, they don't want to read it.....I know that may not be a fair assessment, but it seems to be of the majority. I'd like to know where investors are getting their "education" and news as well! Bill
