BiggerPockets: Real Estate

BiggerPockets, LLC

About this app

Got a deal that almost works on paper? Trying to buy your first rental property? You don't have to work it out alone.

BiggerPockets is where more than 3 million people trade notes on real estate investing. Ask a question and you'll hear from investors who've actually done it: landlords, house hackers, flippers, BRRRR investors, short-term rental hosts. No question is too basic. Somebody's asked it before, and somebody answered.

The app puts all of that in your pocket.

Ratings and reviews

Can't log in - I've had the app for a while when suddenly today I was unable to see anything in forums, inbox, alerts, etc. I just kept getting an error message saying 'contact support'. I did so, then uninstalled and reinstalled the app. Now i can't login. I can login fine on my computer. This has happened a few times before. Frustrating.

The easy access to the forums, webinars and blog is nice. Don't really understand why the Money podcast is current within the app, but the REI podcast is not and the Business podcast has never been accessible from the More menu. Also, I would probably buy some of the books within the app if I could find links to any of them. The website is a fantastic resource, but the app only takes me to a fraction of what is there and it would be great if you could build it out further.

When I click the notifications that popup in my phone menu, the app never opens and takes me to the forum thread. If the app opens at all, it closes itself immediately. In addition, it is near impossible to use the calculators via the app, which is one of the main reason I am a pro member. It would be great if the app was as useful as the website.
