NEW on BP: Sub-Forums for YOUR local area!

You asked... we delivered! 

There are now "Sub-Forums" for all 50 states, plus "sub-sub forums" for the largest cities in those states. In other words, if you are investing in the Tacoma, Washington market, you'll be able to have conversations within the Tacoma Washington subforum. This should dramatically help you to take the "online world" to the "real world" and help you find greater success!

You can also "subscribe" to any of these subforums (I recommend you subscribe to all your local ones) so you'll get notified about new threads started within those subforums!

Check out this quick video where I explain the process in under three minutes:

Just posted in my local sub categories. I'm thinking you will end up needing to add Greenville or Upstate, SC as a category.

    This is a great addition. Provides another opportunity to Network with like-minded folks and to get some insight through discussions about the area.

    Hopefully there are enough BP members per area to keep each respective sub-forum relatively active. It would be a shame to see 'dead' sub-forums due to the lack of BP members living and/or investing in it's designated area.

    We will give these sub forums some time, but will not hesitate to remove the dead ones, @Niko M.

    Love this idea.

    Just made the first post in the "Cleveland" forum.

    Hope enough people are active to keep them around.

    Awesome idea! Looking to learning more about investments in other local markets from those actually on the ground.

    while I am excited to check this out- I already know this wont be near as valuable for Key West as it would have been for Virginia Beach.

    @Jay Hinrichs

    Go to forums, forum categories, scroll down to your subcategory

    Maybe the Miami section should just be reclassified as South Florida or Miami/Keys to increase the traffic.

     Hey Jay,

    Go to the forum categories and, scroll all the way down until you see local networking. Then, you can click on the 50 state sub-forums. You've probably figured it out by the time if this post

    Well, since largest cities have sub-sub forums, I guess there is one for Lima :)

    Could have a "Lima/Findlay" one. They're close enough in distance and close in size. Hell, even Craigslist puts us together.

    Also, I noticed that there are two "Columbus" regions. Mistake?

     @Brandon Turner

    Thanks for this, I think it will be a good move. I know I mentioned doing this in a post about 3 weeks back. Just wanted to respond and say I appreciate it even though other users may not find it's value

    I couldn't find the "War Zone" sub-sub forum for Detroit Michigan?
