This negative position can consume years of cash flow to recover.

After all, platforms like BiggerPockets were started by investors targeting Midwest and Southern markets, where properties are much cheaper, and cash flow is often the primary focus.

Our listings appear across so many platforms I would not know which site they stole them from. 

In the meantime though, I'd try to just actively build your platform here on Bigger Pockets and just casually connect with people. 

And if you’re listing the house online, try platforms like LoopNet or local Facebook groups for real estate or community housing.Just make sure to do your homework and ask for references, check their track record, and make sure they’re following any local zoning or licensing rules.

If someone represents themselves as private lenders, check them on NMLS consumer access to see if they are licensed.

Quote from @Marshall Robins: Quote from @Patrick Roberts:Definitely makes sense - I haven't been on any Meta platforms for years but it might be time to dive back in.  

Good Day My name is Jacqueline, i am new to this platform and to Real estate investing.

It might be a good time to come together instead of passively displaying your political views on a platform dedicated to real estate investing. 

I highly suspect you folks have never ever been through any kind of civil business litigation and have no clue how expensive and time consuming it can be..
