All of this pertains to Indiana I have no idea on other States and/or Brokerages throughout the U.S.I guess for me, I really believe I can do everything I am interested in without being an RE agent without much difficulty, but Ive still yet to flip a house, so who knows..lol.

My question pertains to my local REIA the RICH Club.

I will have to adjust my approach as it pertains to the return address, can you guys tell me the reason you do not use your name or return address?

We have people on here who hope to purchase their first property next year and people who are hoping to buy 100.As a new real estate investor myself, I have appreciated that i can type any topic under the sun into the Bigger Pockets search and find 20 blogs and forums pertaining to that topic.Next year I'm setting a goal of purchasing 6 additional buy-and-hold rental properties.

Additional thoughts:Instead of making a single influence category, we break the system into different weighted categories to calculate an overall score that is simply on a 0-100 scale.This could take into account things like: a) votes, b) some average pertaining to the number of times/categories the user is deemed an expert in c) contributions to the site (inviting members, posting, participating, sharing) d) trailing time period activity level (eg 1 month), e) testimonials, f) negative factors (violating the rules, spam, times a user is flagged by other members or some other negative 'handicap')So, the most "influential" members would have a score closer to 100, while the least would be closer to zero.
