It's not really comparable since the housing market would take months to crash and bitcoin could crash in a few hours....And for everyone of these anti bitcoin guys saying it's tulips or emus or a ponzi scheme and "if you buy bitcoin you will lose your money" I say maybe if you sell when it's lower but these same people were saying the same thing when it hit 300$ and 600$ and 1200$ and then when it dropped to 170$ in 2014 plenty of peope saying I told you so I told so but if you bought in and held on still seems like it would have worked out ... now that said full disclosure I own no bitcoin and do believe it will crash just don't think it will disappear or ever be worth less than 2000$ a coin and if you'e reading this in the future pm or tag me to show how wrong I was lol..

I hope it all works out but I have seen this show before very common.. especially on BP were the slant is anti paid training and anyone who does should not as its all free here.

Actually, you're dead wrong, more people need to break away from this thinking as it will  fetter your business, and is actually anti entrepreneurial.  

I would have thought Santa Cruz would be really anti-bandit sign, but I saw the same bandit sign every day for like 6 months right in the middle of town.

With this said why is BP so anti mentors.

Josh trains them all as the head guru while posing as an anti-guru on Bigger Pockets!

Many may have done 100 deals this past year, but someone who does things wrong and never knows it, never gets hung, may advise you based on their success (and luck).I'd suggest also you calibrate your guru meter based on ethics in business, knowing what is legal and customary as well as fair dealings expected will be a good gauge in selecting an advisor in any business.I'm not totally anti-guru, most I see passing themselves off as experts (self appointed experts at that) have no business attempting to go where they go sometimes.

That, plus numbers just not making sense unless you put an insane amount of money as a down payment / buy in all cash, and other anti-landlord legislation made me look to a state like Ohio starting in 2021 and ultimately moving to Columbus to focus on building a portfolio and I've been very happy with my ROI both in cashflow and appreciation over the past few years. 

The media often tries to dramatize things and there is a lot of anti-landlord narrative out there, maybe that's where the 8% comes from?

If "staging" has a positive affect on home sale price then what affect might "anti-staging" (house is a complete mess) have on the home sale price???????
