If users knew the thoughts behind the changes they might come on board easier or if they still didn't agree at least understand BP's thought process.Right now a lot of people are just scratching their heads over the changes with no explanation to try and understand.Most new members frankly do not even know what system they are looking at with the forums so can't really give too much insight based on what was there before.That would be like me doing my 3rd degree black belt form and a white belt watching and judging me when i am finished and they do not know what in the heck they are even looking at.

I think BP is probably the best source for agents as well.For example I am a Broker with about $75M in sales under my belt.

VIsit government sites that are used by mortgage bankers, brokers and banks to see what they are allowed to do and what is known a "prudent lending practices".After you get that under your belt you can venture off course to more creative issues, this is not one of them.Good luck, Bill

I've seen some of the discussions on here regarding the rust belt.

It's great to have investors join the site that have deals under their belt.

I’ll be sure to reach out when I get to the point where I’ve got more knowledge under my belt and can ask productive questions.  

By the end of the year I would like to have either my first flip, or my second buy and hold property under my belt.

Once I have a couple under my belt I will look into it.

If you have no success under your belt, then that killer deal you could have done will become a real deal that someone actually did that you can use to prove your point.

There is nothing wrong with having more than one tool in your investing tool belt.
