Bigger Pockets has decreased the number of "idiots" in RE Investing
Leave it to Gentle @Ben Leybovich
to start a thread with a provocative title "Are most investors idiots. " This post is an indirect response to his and no I don't have a website.
There is no doubt in my mind that Bigger Pockets has reduced the number of investors, especially new ones, who look and act like idiots when starting out. I certainly wish I had such a great place to learn about investing when I was starting out. There were other sites and I learned a good bit, but nothing like I could have learned if BP had been around then.
I'm not going to say that most investors are not "idiots," but I will say that most investors who come to bigger pockets and heed the advice doled out by some of the experienced investors, yes like Ben, probably don't invest like idiots.
