I appreciate any inputs!!

I like reading the Wall Street Journal in general. Not specific to real estate but since all RE is local I personally think it's more important to try to get a reading on economic issues as a whole instead of drilling down too deep into one component. WSJ also gives me a point of view that may counter some of my own opinions and biases since I tend to be a fairly liberal guy overall (but probably most people would consider me financially conservative). It's good to get out of one's own echo chamber to form accurate pictures.

I spend enough time here that I figure I'm going to see any major news regarding RE one way or the other, so I try to fill in the gaps where I may be weaker in knowledge. I like podcasts for entertainment but they're often too out-of-date by the time they air to be particularly timely since many of them record one month or more before coming out.
