How absolutely disheartening

[Shaun Calloway]

So i posted on here that i was new, looking for knowledge- but not for free, willing to put in the work or small investment that I've saved in order to bring value to a mentor. I've been reading posts and listening to the podcast for a while now so im expecting some well wishes and folks willing to steer me in the right direction. What do i get, i get my post deleted by BP police calling it advertising. WHAT?!?. And in order to post said advertisements (blind person could see it was simply a request for help and mentorship without being a bum or bringing nothing to the table) i was told i need to pay to play. I joined the forum and listen to the podcasts because i felt that this was one place that was real, that wasn't a gimmick or scam and primarily bc they allowed free exchange of information and education. Well apparently i was wrong. For once i would like to be part of something that isn't focused on getting money out of me to get to the next level. I used to be a cheerleader FOR BP. Now the opposite will be true. Sad day indeed.

Seeking mentors or offering mentorship is against the forum rules. You can post in the Marketplace seeking or offering services or mentorship, but not in the forums.  The forum rules can seem pretty strict, but they have allowed this community to remain the best online real eatate forum for over a decade while other sites are over run with spam.
