    @Mindy Jensen When I post on the marketplace, people used to be able to see it through my recent posts feed on my page and up/downvote but it looks like that functionality has been removed with the recent update.  I was just double-checking with you if that's the case. (For example, I posted something yesterday but my post feed reflects my last post on Jan. 23rd).

    There are essentially two separate marketplaces now. This one & the new one where users can post properties in a format similar to an MLS or a Loopnet. What is the rule in regards to post limits? Is it a total of two posts per day between the two separate marketplaces or is it two posts per day per individual marketplace? I see that the other marketplace automatically limits a user to two postings every 24 hours. This one doesn't so clarity is appreciated.

    Hi James. 

    Thanks for asking. The rules for posting are two per day per individual marketplace. So two postings in the non-property platform, and two in the property-only platform.

    Please note the Property platform requires at least one image of the property and has rules against excessive text on images - watermarking them is fine but blasting ads for your company is not.

    I'm trying to add a property to the marketplace, but every time I try to post the ad I get a red banner across the top of the page: "There was a problem creating your listing: detail is invalid". How do I post my listing for a triplex in Baltimore?

    I just happened to run into your post. Where is your triplex if you don't mind sharing. I'm going to be back on the hunt again very soon!

    @Solomon Morris it’s in Hamilton, one block off Harford Road. I figured out how to get it on the marketplace so some details are there. It’s fully rented and has a large lot that is buildable according to the city with the right plan. Let me know if you’d like to know more, and good luck in your search!

    Hello, maybe someone can help me with the marketplace. Where are the filters? I can post to search for investment partners but cannot search for them through the same portal? I just see a tab for see all and “jobs” how can I see the posts I want to see?
