Completely agree with the pro-agent philosophy. 

For me, my philosophy is: passive income > personal expenses = freedom. 

@Nicholas B.Difference in personal philosophy I guess. 

I imagine it will sell to an owner occupied buyer who is looking to offset the cost of living as compared to buying a SFR, or even renting an apartment in that area, as opposed to trying to completely cover their mortgage or Cash flowing from afar.My Philosophy:My personal philosophy is to buy-and-hold properties which offer handsome monthly cash flow and are self sufficient through various market conditions, repair needs, and potential vacancies.

Depends what you're vetting them for.I like to ask about:Current financial profile (credit, income, funds to invest with, current investments)Investing philosophy (reasons they're investing, goals, opinions on handling certain situations, etc., what they want to get out of the partnership)Level of REI education (how much do they know, have they studied, or are completely green)Are they tech savvy and can they keep up with doing everything digitally?

My personal philosophy has always been ellimination of debt is the best investment.

My concern is that given the history and philosophy of the resort that the brokerage would not pass along any such incentive to the qualifying agent.I am hoping to tap into the vast knowledge, experience and creativity of this community for some ideas. 

I follow rich dad poor dads philosophy of using other people's money.
