The internet has open the gates to information, and we get bombarded with numerous new articles on social media, in our email inboxes (subscribed or simply spam), and pretty much everywhere we look, on a daily basis.
This has led us to have to work harder to find the best articles from the multitude of average or sub-par content. To help our readers and those interested in property investing, we decided to dig in and search for the best of the best that 2018’s Blogosphere has to offer.
This list is obviously subjective, but we also tried to work with a few stats when we sort them.
The Subjective side of things – we tried to feature some of the best-known sites in this niche, some that are known by many in this business, and also a few blogs that still have a lot of growing to do and are relatively unknown. This last category has a few blogs that we feel have good content, tips and/or insights.
The Stats criteria refer to data collected from:
- Alexa.com – How much traffic they have
- Social media – How many followers they have on Twitter and Facebook
- Publishing schedule – If they write content on a regular basis if they haven’t updated the blog in a long time and so on.
Top 20 Property Investment Blogs for 2019
Biggerpockets.com
The BiggerPockets Blog is the biggest resource of information about real estate, investing and personal finance on the web and thus why it’s our #1 choice.
Besides the usually written information, they also have a 65,000 listens per show podcast available for those that like to listen to the market news and insights.
Besides all the opportunities that the site offers (the platform, the forums, the blog and the mobile apps), what we like the most, and have rarely seen in this niche, is the regularly updated Youtube account.
They are posting 2-3 videos per week, and you can also check out the podcast in a video format if you want to actually see their guests. I like visuals more than just audio, so for me, this is a big thumbs up.
Fortunebuilders.com
The mission of this blog is summed up by the three words featured in their logo – Inspire. Educate. Lead.

Lead – To take action and follow through all the obstacles.

Paula’s journey is one of those stories that you end up dreaming about having: a boring 9-to-5 job that turns into travelling around the world and working remotely. You can read the entire story on her About page, where she talks about how she started a real estate business and enjoys the “easy money” that her investments yield every month.
The best content on her blog, in our opinion, is her Real Estate Investment Report posts, and by the multitude of comments on these pages, others share the same opinion.
In these posts, she offers a break down on her monthly income and expenses, alongside many tips for those that will want to follow her business model.

On his blog he shares bits of advice about how should you get started in this industry, a lot of tips related to wholesaling and related to how should you work with partners and he’s also sharing up-to-date records of his real estate investment activities.
