This triggers a conversation where I explain my intentions are not to cause harm to anyone or take advantage of anyone in this business and that I am making this my career (then they calm down and relax). 2) As an agent working on creative deals, how do you navigate your relationship with your Employing Broker?

"just give us all your money, sit home and relax and you will be rich in a week, maybe two for good measure.

Relax and remember that you are trying to help people, as they immediately assume you want to take advantage of them.

Side note: other things to keep in mind does anyone know if...1) There are more relaxed tax implications2) What the cost of living is3) The political climate and stability4) Any foreign deals that may affect the housing market

Fannie/Freddie got ultra conservative during the crash, and have been VERY SLOWLY relaxing things.

Finally enjoying the relaxation of having somebody else do the work.
