When this platform grows, investors will no longer have to go to county websites to find tax info, or zoning ordinances.

I'm sure we've crossed paths before.

I'm grateful that I found this platform to learn from.Best Wishes,Franchot Tone

Another challenge is that pittsburghers don't like to cross rivers.

Thanks for providing an amazing platform for a semi-investor like me to learn the ropes of REI with the impressive quality of people and breadth of strategy/tactics that are so easily accessible.As for a little background, I'm in sales/business development for a software startup and have been living in Seattle for over 10 years.  

When those lines cross, things get very complex and blurry but I prefer simplicity and clarity. 

For the most part the folks on this platform have good knowledge, information and experience and seem to have  emparted some good advice to those of us who are always searcing for answers or ways to improve their investment portfolios.I'm sure you'll find a lot of the information you recieve useful.

It's about 300 pages of intimate financial detail that must be combed over, reviewed for accuracy, typed, and cross-checked 5 times.  

I use it for my other businesses, so keeping a single platform makes sense. 

The fact that you asked the question, had such concerns tells me you are probably not going to cross such lines in the first place, acting fairly and ethically (and legally) will keep you out of most situations of predatory dealing.
