How to Search the Marketplace

Hey everyone! You now have an easy way to search the Marketplace! To do so, simply type in your search term in the search bar on the top-right corner of any forum page on your dashboard (see photo below.)

Next, simply search for the term you want. For example, in the photo below, I search for "Multifamily." To specify only the Marketplace listings - click "Marketplace" on the left side (see photo below.)

Finally, the default search option will look back to the previous month in the Marketplace. If you want to change that timeframe, simply select "Filter" (see photo below)

and choose a new timeframe (See photo below.)


Let us know if you have any problems! I hope this will make the Marketplace an even more valuable tool to make your deals happen!

OK color me a knucklehead, but when I put something in the "search box", the word search does not show which would allow to conduct the search.

 What am I doing wrong?

@Brandon Turner

Whenever I do a search and look at the results I am never able to get to any other page of the results other than the 1st page. If I try to click next or on the 3rd or 4th page nothing happens or it is unable to process my request.

One idea: is there any way to tag locations to marketplace posts and plot them all on a map?

When I try to post on the Marketplace, it doesn't look anything like what you are showing in the tutorial above.  When I type in the search box, there is no "search'" button or anything to click on.  What am I missing?

@Tek Chai

Thank you for the kind words.  Here is the Credo of Real Estate Investors.

````````````````````````````

I am a Real Estate Investor.

Of all of the occupations I have tried, researched, pondered, and read about over the years, there is none which compares to mine. My work is fun. I take ugly houses and make them beautiful. I help people out of difficult situations.

I am a Real Estate Investor. I am my own boss. I often work in my pajamas from the comfort of my home. I have no employees to baby sit, no perishable inventory to move, no franchise fees to pay, and no store to maintain. Still, I am in the top 5% of all income earners.

I am a Real Estate Investor. I now enjoy freedoms I’ve never had before. I am the master of my day. I choose who to work with. I choose my hours, and I decide if I will work 20 hours or 40 hours this week. I can also choose to take the day off, without obtaining anyone’s permission. I can take a month-long vacation. I can sleep in, or take a power nap after lunch if I want. I can review my notes and return my calls while lounging in my jacuzzi. I no longer have to commute during rush hour.

I have the freedom to spend lots of time with my wife and children. I do not have the stress and pressure of needing to close my next deal by the end of the week, by the end of this month, or even by the end of this year.

I live in one of the nicest neighborhoods, in one of the most beautiful states, in the best country that has ever existed on this Earth.

I am a Real Estate Investor. There are many who ‘want’ to be like me; many who are ‘studying’ to be like me; and many more who would be like me, but are just waiting for ‘this opportunity to appear’ or ‘that circumstance to change’… At the end of the day, very few actually are like me.

I have been very fortunate and blessed. I am finally living my dream. I love doing what I do, and I would not trade places with anyone, nor trade my life experiences for anyone else’s.

I am driven by the belief that life is short, and we need to ‘make a difference’ in the short time that we’re here, because after all is said and done, it’s really not about ‘us.’

I am a Real Estate Investor
