@Sean Mcguire - Welcome to Bigger Pockets... and Minneapolis! I'm in no position myself to partner with you on a financial basis, but would love to connect with you to see how we can help each other out.

@Sam S. - SEO is absolutely an effort that takes patience, consistency, and intentionality. It is definitely not a "set it and forget it" type of thing.
You either need to commit at least a few hours a week to your SEO efforts (which includes link building, meta configuration, blogging, videos, etc, etc, etc) or hire a professional. Either way, it takes time and effort.

@Andrew S. - except when the only way to "amend" a post is by marking it as abusive? I sure don't want to consider myself an abuser of this forum, and therefore don't see that as a proper solution.
Nonetheless I do agree with @Joshua Dorkin that it can disrupt the flow of conversation... but I don't agree that most forums act this way; I've been a member of multiple forums, and most of them have options to delete posts... rather than contacting support or marking your own post as abusive.
I digress... I love this forum and community so much that this is just a little matter; thanks for everything Josh & gang!

I think most people are used to other forums and social networking sites where it's possible to delete a post once it's posted (THANK GOD this is a feature on Facebook!!!).
I can think of a few BP-specific cases where the ability to delete a post makes sense:
- Noobs don't usually get the '@' feature right the first time, so I am constantly seeing double-posts so that they can properly call out the person. I did this my first time.
- Someone says something in a post that they didn't mean, or later found out wasn't true or factual, etc...
...among others.

Following. I'm in the same boat, considering the same scenario.

@Marcus Curtis - We are probably looking in the NE and South neighborhoods of Minneapolis... but haven't done any serious looking yet.
Would love to connect when I get back in town.
