There’s a fair number of real estate blogs out there, all tempting …. But, it’s hard to know which sites are truly trustworthy, educational, and informative. So, we went ahead and scoured the web to narrow it down some real estate investing standouts that we enjoy reading.
Thanks to the well defined tips, information, and news on the housing, mortgage and finance industries that these sites offer, the blogs below offer great insights into the challenges that confront real estate investors. So check them out and bookmark your favorites to keep up with all things real estate. Also, be sure to check out our Carrot blog. We’re here to help investors and agents achieve their goals.
Sure, you can use social media to gather your investor news, but not everyone wants to spend their days combing through their Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter feeds. Save time by going straight to the source, the powerful blogs themselves.

Paula Pant at affordanything.com
“I wanted investments that gave me the freedom to NEVER. WORK. AGAIN.
Let me be clear: I’m not a beach bum who avoids work. I wanted FREEDOM to work on purpose-driven, interesting projects, rather than punching a clock for a paycheck.
I decided I’d pursue this through real estate investing.
I saved my “day job” money and bought a house. Actually, I bought a triplex, which is a building with three units. I moved into one of the units (with roommates) and rented out the other two.
All I’m saying is that, with minimal input from me (less than one hour per week), my investments create enough passive income to pay the bills.
I don’t need to answer to a boss.
Never again.
I don’t work in a cubicle and I never sit in rush-hour traffic. I live life exactly as I want. I’ll spend 4 hours hiking on a random Tuesday if the mood strikes. Or I’ll stay up all night writing blog posts. Or I’ll travel to Bali on a whim.
I’ve broken the shackles of paycheck-dependence.
And on this website, Afford Anything, I want to help you do the same.”
