BiggerPockets.com has its unfortunate share of these people "contributing" in the forums.

For 2017 you may be able to claim more charity contribution as deduction check your filing schedule.

I introduced myself a while ago on BP but I haven't been as active as I'd like so I thought I'd do a re-introduction as my plans are more solidified now and I will be on the forum A LOT looking to add value, contribute and build quality relationships as I'm basically moving to a country to chase my dream where I barely know anyone so I'm absolutely looking to build relationships and help any way I can on here!

Then you can contribute things like W-2 income and the other person maybe more on the time or other skills.

You can contribute and get you point across here on BP just fine as "Mr Smith" as you can with your real name and not run the risk of somebody you know throwing it back in your face in a court room someday.  

I found the following article to be interesting:https://www.cnbc.com/2017/11/06/homelessness-soars...Nobody wants homeless people in their neighborhoods yet those very people buying the houses in today's market are in a way, contributing to the growing population of homelessness (in the markets mentioned in the article of course). 

Make the buyers compete and contribute their highest and best offers.

Thanks to everyone at BP and to all the contributing investors from all over.

Hi BP,The scope of knowledge I think are essential for me to get my first deal is narrowing and thank you very much for contributing to that. 

Hey guys.So I am currently in that space where I’ve been reading books and listening to podcasts but I am still about a year away from my first purchase (at least 6 months).To make a long story short, I’m cleaning up a mess a younger me didn’t realize would put a monkey wrench in the plan my current self has created to help me achieve financial freedom.With all the knowledge and experience everyone has been sharing, I’ve been feeling like I wanted to contribute to the community as well.But how does someone with no experience contribute to this wonderful community?
