BP Approved Vendor Discussion

[Bryan Hancock]

So I was reading through Josh's post here:

http://www.biggerpockets.com/blogs/1/blog_posts/4157-don-t-fall-for-the-scam-be-cautious-

about being cautious about who you do business on via the site and there is commentary in the comments section about having an approved vendor section. What are your thoughts about this?

I know that I would love to have the BP seal of approval on money lenders, financiers, mentors, etc. because of the credibility that the site now carries in my mind. I really think we can utilize a tool like this to close business from the site instead of it being mainly an educational forum.

Ideas? Opinions? Divine revelations?

We could also have a "recommendation" link in a user's profile where other BP members who have done business with the user can describe their experience.
