Count on it: By tomorrow this time, there will be more info about real estate investing posted on the internet than there is right now. It feels like there’s a new real estate “guru” born every minute, and with each one, there’s one (or more) associated blogs, websites and email lists to contend with.

You won’t be shocked to learn that some of the things you’ll find online lack credibility. So considering that state of affairs, here are some ideas about some of the real estate investing resources you’ll find out there. Note that we leave it to the reader to make their own judgments concerning the legitimacy of each resource:

(A short note - I have discovered at least one particlarly excellent real estate investing blog that appears to be legitimately free. When you get a second, have a look at it.)

* Bryan Ellis is a marketing and real estate professional whose website is focused on the intersection of real estate investing with economic news. Ellis inclusion of news and politics in his blog is very unique among real estate investor websites.

* Gerald Romine sells his software package to real estate investors, who use it to determine what to offer on property deals and to complete their legal paperwork. While the software is definitely expensive, it does have nice features.

To varying degrees, these three people are already well know to real estate investors. But being popular isn’t an indicator of ethics, reliability or legitimacy. We encourage you to check these people out more closely.
