BiggerPockets is still a valuable resourse even after 8 years!
They've done an excellent job except for calling Detroit and Michigan so wrong!

  They were 540 degrees off of reality.
           (That is 180 degrees with an extra complete spin;

              your still pointed the wrong way with an extra dose of dizziness!)


My only complaint is it seems a shame that you have to leave the site to be able to do a real search.
But the search engines do a good job; here is a sample search when I was looking for a specific post of mine that was five years old.

I do intend to reactivate Pro and once again participate

@Christian Hutchinson I liked your story about missing out by investing in a suburb(Madison Heights I think) instead of Woodward Ave in the heart of Detroit.

Please Tell it again for all of the people that are still reading 10 year old newspapers in the barbershop.

A lot of these houses in this neighborhood were selling for $25,000 and less when I moved to Detroit! I bought mine for $16,000 now worth $500,000.

I told people I was investing in Detroit because the appreciation was better than anywhere else but the cash flow was gravy.

Downtown Detroit is the the cleanest most vibrant city I have ever lived in. (Santa Clara CA, San Jose CA, San Diego CA, Orange County (Tustin)CA, Long Beach CA, Phoenix AZ)
