Just like our now famous list of the top 35 real estate blogs from August 2006, which had been seriously withered down over the years, some of the blogs here on our Top 20 Real Estate Investing Blogs list simply died out, while others lost focus, or quality. (Updated 7/20/12) I thought it was high time that we updated this list by creating a new list, a live list that brings new blogs into the mix. Youll find below our new live list of blogs about real estate investment as well as the original top 20 list, where youll see all those blogs that have faded or disappeared.

The Top Real Estate Investing Blogs

To put the original list together, we looked at close to 200 different blogs from both real estate investing-related companies and individual real estate investors. Here are a few things of note about the blogs selected:

• Any included blogs have been recommended by at least several people that I respect
• They are updated on a regular basis
• I generally have respect for the blogger/bloggers
• Their content is educational and informative

There are many other quality real estate investing blogs out there, but they couldnt all make the list for one reason or another Most didnt make the cut for the following reasons:

1. They were no longer active or were simply not posting at a regular frequency
2. The blog spent too much time on topics other than real estate
3. The blog was primarily a corporate blog, promoting the services of the company instead of providing top quality content for investors to learn from
4. The blog spent too much time simply promoting products and services (affiliate or other)
5. The blog used some other tactics that annoyed me upon repeated visits.

I recommend you check these out, add them to your reader, and participate on them by sharing your thoughts in the comments after reading articles on them. With all that in mind, lets take a look at the top 20 blogs (in alphabetical order, not of preference):
