I wish there were more Canadian components present! I am sure myself and other Canadian users would be happy to contribute and help expand on these features to be included

1. Separate MF and single family home listings
2. Have a way to list PORTFOLIO of properties
3. Marketplace posts should appear on Trending/what's New - i.e., they should be more visible on BP forums
4. Better search functionality - I can't even search the properties I listed so sometimes I found myself listing the same property twice just so I can update them

Is there a place to post deals we find? There are a few that I have my eye on, but I just don't have the means for it right now. Would love to see the BP community benefit from it. Im doing a flip right now and there is another property on the same street that really needs to be flipped. It would help drive up the comps on my flip. I would hate for a normal resident to purchase it and not flip it. Is there a way to share it on the marketplace without being PRO

I love @Trey Knight 's idea... I often find myself in this scenario.
I'd like to see a feature for people to list their "wants." Perhaps an auto infographic generator or small colour coded table that people can post details of what they're looking for. This can help us team up with local wholesalers and really catalyze the buy and sell experience for people on all sides of the table.
Thank you for seeking feedback from your community!

@Lauren Hogan I'd love to be able to save searches in the Real Estate Listings section. It'd also be nice to be able to do searches for multiple property types.

I think a great improvement would be a place where you can post actual deals. Kind of the way you can go on the market place and view properties people are selling. That same exact setup but instead of homes for sale people can post deals. For example, if I recently found a great fixer upper but I do not have the means to actually do it I can post something that says the specs at a high level like "Partner Flip Deal" "Looking for Joint Venture" "50-50 Split" "Chatam NJ". Then someone can click on it and see the description, more pictures, details, etc.
This is what a lot of members are looking for I think and can bring the site to a next level.

To build off what I said, its understood you can post a forum that can list these things. But a consolidated place where an investor can just browse deals, view specs, etc. That would be amazing!

@Lauren Hogan
It would be great to see autofill for BiggerPockets calculators when typing in addresses.
It would also be a nice feature to set default values with the same variable landlord paid expenses and future assumptions (vacancy, repairs, appreciation, etc) or create calculator templates with values already set for quick analyzing.

@Lauren Hogan when are you scrolling through the trending forum topics on the mobile app, it only shows the person name. Once you open up the thread, it includes their name, Ann location + job title if they have provided that information. I think it would be helpful if that information was a shown on the home page of the forum discussions. Thy way, as you are scrolling through them you can see if the person is in your market or lives in your state. I am only familiar with the Maryland, DC, and Northern VA markets, so I'll open a forum thread and then realize the original poster is asking a question about California and of course I can be know value. It would just allow users to narrow down the threads that are more relevant to us based on location.

Hi @Lauren Hogan - one other glitch I've encountered several times is the fluidity between the web platform and the app. It would be great for the appropriate selections be available on the app for posts relating to events and marketplace, for example. I've accidentally gone against forum rules after posting content on another forum when the topic I wanted wasn't available on the mobile app. I use an Android phone, for reference. Again, thank you for reaching out!

Agreed! Getting to the calculators is a several click process and editing them is the same. If you want to change just 1 number you have to go through the entire form.
