So today, we discuss how online forums don't even have experts to moderate nor check the advice, which means that a lot of bad tips can get shared. This can be dangerous, not only because of the wrong answers, but also because of the weird questions that can confuse someone who's buying a home for the first time. We show you some of the craziest stuff we've found, but also talk about how to filter the good advice from the bad.
We share some advice on how to balance what you read online with professional guidance, so your home-buying experience is both smart and safe. Don't let an online post or tweet change your mind about buying a property. Learn how to tell good advice from bad advice online, let's get started!
