@Joshua Dorkin @Mindy Jensen This is a great direction to go with increasing BP's effectiveness as a networking resource, but I think there is even more potential to be tapped here.BP does an excellent job in facilitating rapid, personal growth of your real estate networks by letting you connect with others in your geographic location, market segment or area of interest.

While I am sure it wasn't very funny to you at the time, I'd bet that a story about the yard of your rental being dug up in order to facilitate a mud wrestling showdown has to be a crowd favorite at parties.I am curious, though; did you make any attempt to recover the damages done to your property? 

In all fairness, I know this won't be a popular topic, and I'm going to post up and wait for replies rather than facilitate the discussion....so here goes....I've seen a lot of advertisements, I've received a few offers, and I've seen a lot of offers for "hard money loans" or "private money lending". 

I know some great 1031 exchange facilitators for all those California investors with equity wanting to get away from the CA shenanigans!

@Trace Garretson while I don't operate in a state where it is illegal to practice dual agency, I have previously (and plan on doing so in the future) represented one party as a client and then facilitated a transaction for the other party. 

I also have some background in corporate Training and Facilitating, as well as, Public Speaking.

Maybe @Dawn Anastasi can tell us, she's a moderator...Anyhow, it's not a contest -- just a way to facilitate the conversation.

From what I understand this all has to be facilitated by a 3rd party, which comes with a cost as well.Also do I wait to sell until the spring or list it now?

Just like a real estate broker, he facilitates the transaction.

I got a "prior military" discount and it was a sizable discount. (10 or 20 percent. dont remember exactly)The class was professionally facilitated and worthwhile.
