Choosing where to post
Questions do best in r/RealEstateAdvice, the community on this list that is built around advice and help (around 28 posts a day). Competition for attention differs a lot: r/RealEstate has 2.5M members but only about 6.9 new posts a day — roughly one new post for every 365.7K members — while r/RealEstateAdvice gets about 28 a day, one for every 1.4K. A strong, well-made post therefore has more room to be seen in r/RealEstate; r/RealEstateAdvice is better when you want quick replies.
A simple rule of thumb: ask questions in the specialised communities and share your best finds in the big ones, where they can reach the most people. Always read the rules in the sidebar first — each community is run by its own volunteer moderators. Our guide to searching Reddit explains how to dig through any of these communities, and the subreddit info tool gives you the stats of one we don't list.
