At first it seemed like a great community and still is, but more and more it feels like they are constantly selling you things and producing low-quality content videos. I'm hoping there will be an alternative competitor but until then their forums seems to be helpful. The humble brag from Brandon gets quickly annoying in his videos to the point where I skip when he talks. Also his highly marketed conferences/vods etc are filled with fluff information and mostly just a motivational speech about real estate as opposed to any real content. He seems to use this outlet as a self-journaling therapy to just talk about himself. Still searching for real content, One I found so far is MultiuniverseU. Still searching for others..

The company keeps raising the pricing, then will cancel your subscription and tell you to resubscribe at the higher rate.

The concept is there, but really makes it difficult for the small investors. Website has glitches, and you aren't allowed to ask for emails to those you want to connect to outside of the website.

Great guests. But the hosts have a habit of belittling small time investors. Statements like "Mom & Pop landlords are terrible at listing properties for rent... Take poor photos, write poor descriptions." It's such a broad generalization. And don't they realize many listeners are small time investors? In a recent episode they referred to contractors as dogs, and when they corrected themselves they used the term "kids" instead. Give me a break. Brandon and David need to get off their high horse.

Worst company ever. Period. They index all their forum comments on Google. A client made a post that was false about our company. The client then wanted to take it down but Bigger Pockets doesn't allow the option! And this false information is INDEXED on Google. We have only but one option: to file a lawsuit to try to get it removed.

Don't expect your 90 day journal to come anytime soon. I joined 2 1/2 months ago and still have not received it. Customer service is terrible and no one seems to really care. Is this how you do business? It is ironic since they preach getting things done. it is extremely unprofessional. Congrats Brandon on your book. Will anyone ever receive it?

Warning! Cost Calculators are bait & Switch Don't fill out the cost calculators; it'll take you 20-30 minutes, and it's nothing more than a bait&switch ploy meant to coerce you into paying for a membership. Even if you register, you'll never see that work again. It's unclear, even if you do pay for a membership, if you'll ever recover that initial submission. Their customer support was dismissive and unwilling to rectify the problem - terrible outfit - scammy.

I was a huge fan of the Bigger Pockets podcasts for years. Then I joined the forums. I was very optimistic at first. Don't post in the wrong place or ask the wrong questions. And you better have done a lot of investment deals, have a huge amount of money and hundreds of posts or you might get scolded like a bad child. The site is also a bit glitchy and cumbersome to navagate. They try to plug pro membership a lot which I almost purchased. Now I feel it's not worth going on the forum. It literally completly changed how I feel about Bigger Pockets. I don't even want to listen to the podcasts anymore. I'm still in shock. I've never had a bad experience on a forum before Bigger Pockets.
