This is a big help. Thanks everybody. I have a book deal and I'm writing over 30 case studies on different organization. BP will hopefully be one of those case studies. I write about communication and BP handles its communication with the community very differently than many online organizations, especially in the real estate area. I've tracked down some great interviews with the CEO and Founder and I just wanted to get some real-life quotes from people like y'all to put a couple of comments from community members in there. I appreciate it. Thanks! I'm also a newish investor with 1 duplex that I rent. BP has been a big help to me and helped get informed, entirely for free so far. It's great.

I'm writing an article about BP for a real publisher. Could some of you, especially new-ish investors, comment on BP? I'm especially interested in a) how BP has helped you, b) how BP is different than the "guru" or expert real estate learning options out there, and c) what do you think of the peer-to-peer type community education that happens through BP?

Thanks Michele. I'm currently spending about 4 hours a month on my one duplex and that is almost all dedicated to some routine stuff I could delegate in the future. As you mentioned, the moving out, cleaning up, showing, and moving in, etc. is what takes the time. I'm trying to time my leases better so that they end in the summer and looking for other ways to get more efficient.

How many "man hours" do you think it takes to manage one single family home? Assume that the tenant has been screened properly, the neighborhood is solid middle class, and all of the lawn care, snow removal, etc. is the responsibility of the tenant.
