Can I use this forum to help me vet potential team members?

[Carol Hopwood]

I'm interested in hearing others' experiences with some RE investor-related companies that I'm considering partnering with on my first deal. However, in the past, my posts were deleted because they sounded like solicitations. I certainly don't want to violate the intention of this forum. Is it appropriate to use this forum to find others who have used these services? If not, any suggestions on how I might get that kind of reference information?
