I met Kevin much later at a meet up through Subto and saw his phone notifications and how he has hundreds of people reaching out to him daily. 

If they aren't sending you personalized investment deals that meet your buying criteria, they are NOT a good agent!

For example, I hate to sell anything, but I am selling two properties to raise funds for a new primary that meets my goals.Study the market and really lock in what it will rent for.

I did some research, the STR is not something I will consider as I am a bit far from the property, and it's just too much hassle. and the return barely meets the threshold if I use the airdna numbers. 

There are so many shady sellers out there that you meet online, so it's nice to work with folks who will shoot you straight.

CCREIA just changed their meeting location to the  UNCW Center for Innovation & Entrepreneurship 803 College Rd.

In my market, right now, most anything you bought at 70% of value still wouldn't meet that rule.

There are a number of real estate Meet ups monthly in Calgary market advertised on Eventbrite.

An agent can represent a seller or a buyer even if they don't own the property, but they have to have the owner's approval.If the "seller" doesn't meet deadlines, it's probably a wholesaler who is having diffculties of some sort with the actual seller.So, either I misunderstand what is actually going on, or some information has not been conveyed.

Meet in person.
