We were very interested in Canmore's market, but there were some hurdles and decided focus on lower hanging fruit.

I will say while there are certainly agents that are just straight liars & know it, I’ve honestly become convinced most agents give what they think is good advice, there’s like a whole media ecosystem just for agents that exists at brokerage’s and on social media, and honestly if you don’t have critical thinking and/or want to fit in, it’s just easier & more profitable to just go with it.

Pursue the "low hanging fruit" for right now: buying a property for less than replacement cost, repositioning it for a resale profit or cash-flow.

We are completely okay with that as long as you tell us up front, just don’t expect to hear about all the great opportunities ahead of our exclusive buyers.I recommend look for agents that understand your investment strategy and even better yet that they do, or have invested.

Again am I being emotional or am I just enjoying the fruits of my hard work?

I was thinking to just to drop it a little at a time to get back on the "hot list" for agents.

The board requires a full day ethics and they do the same for agents.

@Herwin G. its against the law for agents to give you cash back out of their commission.what they are doing is negotiating with the seller to lower their commission in concert with lowering price.. you get the benefit of the discount but not cash

Plus, REI just fits into my passion for investing and creating multiple avenues of passive income.My intention for BP is to meet some of the awesome people on here and to create fruitful relationships. 

But, if you're account is well aged without any derogatory marks, you'll make up those points along with an additional positive impact for age of credit fairly quickly.
