"Well, real estate is always good, as far as I'm concerned." Donald Trump

Woven into the American dream is the idea, opportunity, and reality of making money through real estate. Most recently, real estate investing has been a boon for many.

With gurus like Guy Kiyosaki espousing the virtues of real estate investing, low interest rates, and a stable economy, real estate investing appears to be at near-term apex (see Real Estate Bubble Blogs to see what the future may hold for real estate).

Moneysmartz identified a small but growing cohort of real estate bloggers, bravely chronicling the risks and opportunities of real estate investing. Given the inherently local nature of real estate, most real estate investment blogs focus on narrow, regional slices of the real estate market.

If you are a real estate investor or interested in getting started investing, then the list should provide ideas, encouragement, and helpful insights.

With storm clouds brewing, we'll be watching to see if this list grows.
