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.

    HI Joshua

    I'm looking to purchase my first triplex property in New Jersey. 

    I'm new to investment property and been a pro member of BP for about week now and listen to many of the podcast and training courses.

    How and where should I post what i'm looking to do?

    any suggestion would be great

    Thanks

    @Joshua D.. Hey Josh, had a great time on the podcast and got a ton of subscribers as a result.  Thanks, man!

    I had a question about posting affiliate links here.  I'm an affiliate for a couple of programs that I subscribed to and found enormously helpful for my business.  They are not real estate specific programs, but they are helpful to anyone in business, including real estate.  Specifically, one helps people get organized and get things done and the other teaches people how to reach influencers, like bloggers, investors, etc.

    Is posting affiliate links here appropriate or a no-no?  I wanted to ask before going ahead and posting, since i respect these forums a lot and don't want to post inappropriate material.  Again, these are great programs I have paid for and taken myself and found incredibly helpful, but they are of a general business nature rather than real estate specific.  Please let me know.  Thanks!

    Jonathan

    @Jonathan Twombly - Under NO conditions is posting affiliate links anywhere on BiggerPockets acceptable. Thank you for asking, but you can not affiliate market on BiggerPockets whatsoever.

     Pat,

    There should be a big green button on the upper left of your screen (directly below the BiggerPockets banner) which reads "Post Marketplace Ad".

    Yup, In looking for an investor/lender, I just got a couple sketchy types wanting my account info and lending fees all without any formal paperwork.  Can we "flag" them for further scrutiny?

    I don't want to get penalized or have my post deleted so I just want to know where exactly I could post if I'm stating that I'm looking for properties in a certain area?

     If you are soliciting to acquire properties in any area, your advertisement should go in the real estate marketplace.

    Hi @Joshua D., is it permissible to start a thread in the marketplace about my book? My book deals with 1031 Exchange and reinvestment into large multi-family properties (DSTs).

    Example of someone posting about their book.

    @Leslie Pappas, The Marketplace forum is the only place you can advertise. Your Pro membership allows you to post in the Marketplace up to two times per day. You must wait 5 days before posting an ad for the same product, property or service (or book) but as long as you are posting real estate or personal finance related material, you're good to go.

    Joshua Dorkin I just tried posting to the real estate marketplace and it's not showing up bold, why is that? I thought the "real estate marketplace " was the designated area/location where we all are suppose to list our wholesales etc. Can you please guide me as to how I can start posting to the marketplace?

     Why not rotate the photo before you upload it?
