Hello BP Community!
Has anyone thought the content of the forums have been degrading recently? I feel like moderators and/or the staff of BP have been unable or unwilling to moderate the forums to the same standard they used to. It is riddled with self promotions and ChatGPT --- posts lately...
I feel the same way. It's been losing its essence for a few months now.
I think it is mostly AI's fault. If a Realtor wanted to promote their business they would have to work at it. You could not say you were a Realtor and had to not be spammy. Now you just put the rules into ChatGPT and have it design responses that comply with the rules while still promoting yourself. 0 thought behind the craft now.
We are all going to have to get yoked and dress up like Smerfs like @James Wise just to get any business now

AI generated responses are so annoying. I haven't been here very long but am surprised by blind encouragement for new members to take on risky deals. I'm trying to keep an open mind on the value of collaborating vs predatory behavior. BTW is there a way to block any post with the word Ohio? lol
mute every Realtor that posts on the Ohio threads. Should take you 15 minutes

Quote from @Nicholas L.:
have had the same thought, but i know it's tough to police AI generated posts...
saw a thread the other day where every single response to the OP was very obviously AI.
i'm still here and i'm still not using AI
Got it — sounds like Nicholas just wanted to make it clear he’s not using AI and has noticed entire threads being auto-generated. A good, natural response back could be something like:
“Totally get that Nicholas, I’ve noticed the same thing. Some threads feel like they lose the real back-and-forth when it’s all AI. Appreciate you keeping it authentic.”
Would you like me to make it more casual (like a quick forum reply), or more professional and polished?

Hello everyone my name is Jesse, I'm new to RE investing and currently looking at potentially investing out of state like in Montgomery Alabama. I was wondering if anyone has done this for section 8 rentals and if it's a smart idea or are there better areas to search?
Section 8 can make you millions, it's made me millions. However you better be ready to battle for your money every single day. Your tenants are going to be complete and total savage animals.
It is not very 2025 of you to compare Section 8 RESIDENTS to animals
My local elected city officials say that everyone is entitled to a home
You are right, comparing Section 8 folks to animals is very disrespectful. Animals deserve better from me.
Thank you for admitting to your mistake and correcting yourself

@Remington Lyman Please be specific. I have read the rules. I was prompted to introduce myself. What are you objecting to?
Self promotion. Moderators will remove your post if you mention you are an "agent" "want to connect" They try to regulate people looking to use biggerpockets to farm clients without using their paid advertising

Quote from @Josie Stephens:
Hello! I’ve done a few flips, but haven’t necessarily hit any home runs yet, so I’m looking to pivot to BRRRRs. My current market is too high as well, so I want to look out of state. I’ve narrowed my search down to Kansas City or Akron/Canton, OH. Ideally I’d like to look for B class neighborhoods.
I’m looking to connect with real estate agents as well as property managers to get started. I’d like to work with people that can direct me to good neighborhoods and have connections with contractors and wholesalers.
I appreciate any and all advice or tips! Thanks!
I have never hit a home run besides hooking up with my wife but I have scored a lot of runs hitting singles and doubles in real estate
