@Jerry Padilla can lend on up to 10 properties, he can help you out too...

Sent to all, thanks for your interest.

@Crystal Smith sent, thanks!

haha @Ray A. reminds me of a joke:  How do you know if somebody is from Texas?

...Just say hi and they'll tell you.

Same applies for marathon runners in general and Notre Dame alumni in Illinois!

I agree it would make the Marketplace much easier to navigate as well.  Maybe we could even separate that down into sub-categories of lenders, properties, etc. rather than just having the tags at the heading of each post.

I feel like we're congress/the house trying to pass tax reform or something.  Just waiting for @Joshua Dorkin aka Obama to veto us all!

@Kyle Gregg 

 Exactly!

and @Brie Schmidt Right, I get that.  That was just a broad example of the point I was trying to get across!  Admittedly, it did take me a while to figure that out though....

Hey @Joshua Dorkin and fellow BP'ers, here's an idea I came up with recently I thought I'd throw out there...

What if we had a section or sub-section of the forums that were regional and/or state-specific, i.e. Midwest or Illinois forums (in my case obviously).  It might make it easier to connect with fellow BPers in our stomping grounds or get more location-specific questions answered more efficiently.

For example, when I search "Illinois lenders" it comes back with 365 results from a wide range of sub-forums, and only a handful of those may be what I'm looking for (....maybe).  The other 300+ may be a result of one person saying "lenders" on the first post and another saying "Illinois" 40 posts later in the same thread.

I don't really have the tech background to understand what it would take to pull that off, or if it would even make sense, but I think it might be better and more efficient than getting a boatload of emails and keyword alerts on a daily basis.

Maybe I'm being nit-picky and should just wipe my tears, but maybe it's something we could introduce for Plus/Pro members and see how it goes?

Whatcha think?

Edit: please send your email address as well and I'll forward the info sheet.  Thanks.

Contact me for more information. This property is NOT on the MLS.

Thanks for your input everybody.  Much appreciated. 

@Roman Pak thanks for your input as well.  I figured as much...

That's not really as pricey as I expected, but I guess it depends on the exact scenario too.
