Another 101 Real Estate Resources

Soon after I wrote my post about 101 Real Estate Investing Resources a few weeks ago I found a few more sites that I need to share with you.  There's actually more than 101 sites involved here but a few of them were already mentioned in my previous list so it's near enough to 101.

First up is this extensive list of real estate web 2.0 sites from 1000watt Consulting.  I suggest you work your way through this lengthy list.  There's some great community sites for networking and learning, as well as market research and property search tools among other things.

I also wanted to let you know about a great new blog for real estate investors, REItips.com by JP Moses.  I find it very interesting that since the real estate bubble burst not only have we seen many amateur investors leave the market but we have also seen many real estate investing blogs and other websites fade away.  JP has been active with FlippingHomes.com for some time now and is a very knowledgable, professional investor and the emergence of his blog at this time shows that he is not just some amateur riding a bull market.  I expect this site to become a mainstay of the real estate investing space and have no hesitation in recommending you add it to your feed reader.

And finally, I wanted to let you know that property search site, HotPads.com has added foreclosure heat maps to their service.  This feature allows you to "track the trends in foreclosure rates for different markets by comparing the historical foreclosure heat maps on a week-to-week and month-to-month basis. These stats are generated from listing counts on HotPads to give you an idea of foreclosure rates throughout the country. With this greater transparency to the housing crisis, our users can better understand the trends in their markets."

Of course, if you are looking for bargain foreclosure deals you should also check out my new foreclosure listings section (in partnership with Foreclosure.com) which offers over 1.5 million properties including many bank owned homes.

If you have any other suggestions of sites that fellow investors should check out please add a comment below.
