Rule summary
- No Spam / SEO or “Guru” Promotion, or AI Responses: This Sub is **Modded with an IRON FIST** when it pertains to spam, attempted SEO, “Guru” promotion, and click bait titles. Don’t do it. A Violation of this rule will result in a permanent ban.
- Be respectful to other users and conduct your behavior in a civil manner: Opposing views and discussions are encouraged. This is how we learn. Our expectation is that you will do so in a civilized manner. Trolling, thread hijacking and posts/comments of a disruptive nature are not welcome nor will they be tolerated.
- Low effort or off topic: Please do not create a post with a Title but no supporting content. Please refrain from using profanity in post titles. Examples of Low effort: "I have 400k, what do I do?"
- No self-promotion, solicitation, surveys, syndication, referrals, or AMA: - No Links to Your Site - - No Youtube, Bitly, IG, or TikTok Content - No DM me / Let's Connect - No Offers to render service - - Don't recommend vendors - No Apps, Websites, Calculators, or feedback on even "free" utilities. Violation of R4: Results in Permanent Bans. **EXCEPTION: *** Self-promotion is allowed within the [Monthly Blatant Self Promotion Thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/realestateinvesting/?f=flair_name%3A%22Self-Promotion%20-%20Monthly%22).
- Do not market deals either as a Buyer or Seller: This includes lending, insurance, and syndication. The Mods are tone deaf on a written medium. Any "obviously a joke" will still be treated as an offer to buy/sell. And you will be banned, permanently.
- Minimum Karma & Account Age Policy: Accounts created less than 10 days or with /r/realestateinvesting comment karma below 15 will not be permitted to post. And no, the mod's won't push it through.
Works well
- A detailed question about a specific real estate investing niche, with context about your situation and a clear ask for advice.
- A writeup of a personal investing experience or lesson learned, shared as text with no links and no service offers.
- A thoughtful comment on other investors' posts that builds your comment karma before you ever create your own post.
- A promotion confined to the Monthly Blatant Self Promotion Thread, kept short and relevant to real estate investing.
Avoid
- Do not post links to your own site, YouTube, Bitly, Instagram, or TikTok content.
- Do not include any links, even to free utilities, calculators, or apps.
- Do not market deals as a buyer or seller, including lending, insurance, or syndication offers.
- Do not use AI-generated responses.
- Do not post low effort content such as a title with no supporting content, profanity in titles, or vague questions like asking what to do with a sum of money.
- Do not solicit, run surveys, offer referrals, or propose an AMA outside the monthly self-promotion thread.
What r/realestateinvesting Is For

Rules That Matter Before Posting
The rule called No Spam / SEO or “Guru” Promotion, or AI Responses makes clear that spam, attempted SEO, guru promotion, click bait titles, and AI responses all lead to a permanent ban. The rule called No self-promotion, solicitation, surveys, syndication, referrals, or AMA bans links to your site, YouTube, Bitly, IG, or TikTok content, DM me requests, offers to render service, vendor recommendations, and apps, websites, calculators, or feedback on even free utilities, with a permanent ban for violations and a single exception for the Monthly Blatant Self Promotion Thread. The rule called Do not market deals either as a Buyer or Seller covers lending, insurance, and syndication, and states that any obvious joke will still be treated as an offer to buy or sell and result in a permanent ban. The rule called Minimum Karma & Account Age Policy requires accounts to be at least 10 days old and to have at least 15 comment karma in this subreddit before posting is permitted.
What To Post
A good post here is a genuine question or a detailed experience that helps other real estate investors, written with enough supporting content that it is not low effort. If you want to promote anything, the only place allowed is the Monthly Blatant Self Promotion Thread, and even there you should keep it relevant and honest. Before you post at all, make sure your account is at least 10 days old and has at least 15 comment karma in this subreddit, earned by leaving useful comments. Keep your post free of links, offers, and any language that could read as a deal pitch.
What To Avoid
Avoid anything that looks like spam, SEO, guru promotion, click bait, or AI responses, because the rules say a violation results in a permanent ban. Do not include links to your site, YouTube, Bitly, IG, or TikTok, and do not offer services, recommend vendors, or share apps, websites, calculators, or free utilities. Do not market deals as a buyer or seller, including lending, insurance, or syndication, and do not joke about it, because the mods say they are tone deaf on a written medium and will treat any joke as an offer. Do not post low effort content, such as a title with no supporting content, profanity in titles, or a vague question about what to do with a sum of money. Do not post if your account is younger than 10 days or has less than 15 comment karma in this subreddit, because the mods will not push it through.
