Remove or Refine "Starting Out" Section?

[Casey Auciello]

I am new to the forums and love to learn in an effective manner, but I am having trouble grouping information that I read. It seems that, in some instances, posts are not in the proper section/posts are not applicable to the section they are in. This seems to be especially true in the Starting Out section. I just picked a couple quick ones for examples such as asking about foundation repair (could that go under rehab?), "New Bird dog and hungry for info " (isn't there a birddog section?), various funding posts (there is a finance section to post in).

I am not saying that these are bad posts by any means or trying to point a finger, I just feel that the site would be much more effective to put these posts in sections that relate to the thread topics. If I want to read about wholesaling, I don't want to scroll through the Starting Out section to find wholesale posts, I want to read about it in the wholesale section while my mind is geared toward learning about wholesaling and grouping information in my mind about wholesaling.

By looking at the post counts, it almost seems like all the other sections should be consolidated into one thread or the Starting Out section should be removed (or even better- fill it with stickies with general FAQs) to force posts into the proper sections.

I think that it's almost an option where to put it- I could ask a rehab question in the rehab section, or just put it in the general since anything falls under general. Just my opinion, maybe it is my fault and am misunderstanding the sections. Hope it makes sense, and the info found on the site is great!
