The ActiveRain Points Lenders are Working for Their Public

So many members are looking to get some positive action with their ActiveRain blogging points, and so many have an accrued volume of points and are happy to sit.

Well, after sending out some feelers it appears that there is a market for a lender that would mortgage points, similar to those that help people buy homes.

So, are you looking to get something that your time on the platform has been so short that the points are just out of range?

Got collateral, then maybe apply for a points loan.

Your collateral is your activity.

Have you been blogging on a regular basis

Are you interacting with your peers and reciprocating with the courtesies?

That is the best way to learn, get recognized as a quality agent and get noticed.

Do you have an ActiveRain sponsor that sent you the invite because the site has been so good for them? Maybe a conversation with them to see if you have enough credibility with them for them to gift you some points, after all they have been getting a 'taste, with each of your efforts that created points, so why not get a few back.

Having good AR credit is always a plus, and with so any clamoring for points activity, the ActiveRain lenders are there to help.

And when you do get that approval, well, coincidently, the Activerain Points store is conveniently located across the street

This is a post for the ActiveRain June Challenge .

Good morning, Ed... very clever. Sadly, I'm not all that clever! Happy Thursday to you.

Good Thursday morning, Ed. I am willing to share a few million points with other members for their good causes.

Keep cool and have a great day!

I suspect if there are AR points that equal AR money then there would be AR credit as well!

Hello Ed - I like the way you cleverly leveraged the equity in points.  Well-played.  And with plenty of time left (always appreciated when speaking in lender lingo).

You describe the things that should be done in the Rain to feel good about earning points, even if at the end of the day, the points aren't worth their weight in gold, haha.

Ed, Having strong credit, even if it’s just for show, can be a big advantage, especially for those new to the site. Good to read A/R lenders are more than ready to help.

Hi Ed:

Such a clever post for the Challenge, and a creative way for sharing those AR points with credit-worthy members who need a loan.

Ed we have to make sure the AR Point Loan Program goes through AR Underwriting and meets all the AR Lending Guidelines.   AR Underwriters have proven to be very tough in the past.  😋😜🤪
