Do You Look For an "Investor Friendly" Certification?

[Carson Sweezy]

I was listening to one of Michael Quarless's podcasts the other day, and he mentioned having a "certified investor mentor" classification. This made me think about how many agents in my office work with "investors" and show them condos in D.C. which have no chance of cashflowing.

Do you as an investors, see value in a certified investor friendly agent? The CIAS program seems like a complete scam, for both agents, and those who use agents with the CIAS. Does biggerpockets offer the value you look for in finding accredited professionals?
