I can sympathize because I was in the same boat about 7 years ago in LA. Had I not researched and found this blog I’m sure I’d be in the same situation right now (again).
What it boils down to is this – the internet affords people to ability to know more about the real estate market than they did before. Information abounds. People who apply themselves can make smarter decisions.
To get this kind of information otherwise, is either much more difficult or impossible for the common person.
Also, the element of kicking ideas around between the forum speeds up the learning process dramatically.
To my knowledge it wasn’t available before in any format to the non-RE folk. Glad it is now.
