The following rules and warnings pertain to the Real Estate Marketplace threads on BiggerPockets.

1 - Please heed extreme caution when considering any solicitations made here. While most of our posters are promoting legitimate opportunities, there are also scammers out there. We do our best to police the threads, but sometimes, things fall through the cracks.
2 - Ask Questions! If someone is unwilling or unable to answer your questions . . . look out!
3 - ALL posters are required to post in accordance with the law. If you are unaware of the laws governing posting any kind of real estate opportunity, we recommend you not post. You and you alone are responsible for the content of your posts.
4 - Be prepared to have your post critiqued or analyzed by our membership. if you post an advertisement, you should be prepared to answer ANY and ALL questions posed to you by other members. Failure to respond may result in the closure or removal of your post.
5 - If you're interested in other ad options, including advertising on our newsletter or banners on site, just fill out our advertising form and we'll get you set up.

Overall, just use common sense. If something sounds fishy, it probably is. If someone promises guaranteed returns, find out what the catch is, because there usually is one.

Lets work as a community to keep these and all of our other threads safe for one another. If you don't like something you see or read, ask questions or tell someone (moderator, admin).

Thank you.

    @Joshua Dorkin

    Can you tell me how many members are on Bigger Pockets?  Also, how many of them are Plus and Pro members and have access to the marketplace?


    Thanks in advance for your response.

    Best,

    jon.

    Thanks @Roy N.

    I'd still like to know how many Plus and Pro members (total members who have access to marketplace).

    Roy linked to our stats <--  page that shows the number of members on the site.  As for the number of Pro/Plus -- that's something that we don't make public at this time.

    You were answered by the wrong one ... Josh is all stand-up... Mr. Integrity.  Brandon, on-the-other-hand, has his price and prolly would have traded the number of plus/pro members for a Waldo.

    @Joshua D.

    How can I assess the value of being a Pro/Plus member if you don't share how many member can see the deals I'm sharing?  If you're not willing to share that info, the only probable assumption is... not many.

    That type of policy does not further the development of trust with your most experienced investor members... like me.

    @Account Closed - As Jon said, Marketplace posts are visible to ALL members and ALL visitors to the site.  The number of members who have PRO/Plus accounts doesn't matter in the least as it pertains to the number of people who can see your marketplace posts.

    @Joshua D. I just posted to the market place, but it does not look like there is visibility to it in the "recent forums" section.  Are the two areas separated? How do I go about driving people to info in the market place?  Can I post again in the general forum?
    Thanks,

    Arlen

    Hi Joshua, I'm a pro member and want to tell investors about our one-of-a-kind services. Can you please provide me with guidance on how to let people know without breaking BP rules.  I was already kicked out once and don't want it to happen again.  Thanks for your help!  BP is a great idea.
