First Rental Property

Ladies and Gentlemen, what a great blog post I have for you to read.  It is not one of my own, rather, it is a post that I read from a fellow real estate blogger.

The blog post appeared on Josh Dorkin’s premier real estate social network, Biggerpockets.com

The author of this article was Shae Bynes of Good Faith Investing.

The article that I am talking about is called, Your Significant Other Hates Real Estate Investing – Now What?

In my books, here are the reasons that made this article so good.

1) It was a list article

A list article is an easy article to read. List articles often have a lot of bold headlines or

• bullet points

Bold headlines and bullet point when incorporated into an article, make the article easy to read, as your eyes tend to focus on the bold headlines
and

• bullet points

As a result, when someone is reading a list article, they are able to easily absorb the information in the article, because it is easy to follow.

2)  It discussed a common problem

Successful real estate blog posts often discuss a problem that people face.  These types of blog posts tend to be very popular as the problem that is discussed is experienced by many people.

3) It provided a solution

Real estate blog posts that discuss a problem are good. However, if there is also a solution provided to the problem, the post is even better. Shae’s article did in fact provide some solutions to the problem that she was discussing.

4) It promoted discussion

Good blog posts because they are well written, result in people leaving comments in the comments section. A blogger knows when they have written a particularly good blog post when there are multiple comments left by their readers.  Shae’s article had a lot of comments from the readers, meaning that her blog post definitely struck a cord with many of the regular readers.
