I'd venture to say that the percentage of valuble info, after you've ingested most of the content out there, is no higher with paid content then with the free content you will curate for yourself.  

Also, after my husband found the BRRR video on Biggerpockets, we were basically hooked and ingested every single piece of free information we could get our hands on.

We are considered to be the average of the 5 people we spend the most time with so connect with REIA meetings, accountability partners, and mastermind groups to engage with individuals interested in real estate investing.The more you interact on Bigger Pockets the more real estate investing information you will ingest; consequently you will become more knowledgeable and comfortable with investing; therefore becoming more likely to be extremely successful.Set short and long-term goals.

Involving yourself in forums, blogs, podcasts, and webinars will allow you to engage with members as you ingest informative information.At the bottom of this page is a list with help in it.

This next step is just a crazy one there’s so much information that I try to ingest daily but sheesh!

An investor who spent their entire time on BP and podcasts ingesting thousands of hours of CASH FLOW advertising, their property (midwest home worth $75K now that was worth $50K in 1988), inflation adjusted is worth the same.Appreciation and rent growth is the key.

I should add, like others have stated, that like the second hand contact/inhalation of cigarette carcinogens, the ingestion of toxic spores would take quite some time to genuinely make you ill, aside from maybe a little runny nose or small headache...which brings me back full circle to the "myriad of other illnesses."

If the copper makes you feel better then use it, plumbers in my area pipe their own houses in pex and only care for copper because they make more on material upcharge and labor to install.As a side note- acidic water breaks down copper, which ingesting can cause health issues, and can cause pinholes in copper piping.

I've been lurking around here for that past two weeks, but have ingested quite a bit of info (I love this site!).
