Well, if she's smart, she won't.

Smart marketers know how to monetize most every lead.

Smart? 

I think you are very smart to only rent on a m2m basis. 

The key also is to "rent" smart!  

It looks like my options are thus:1) Buy something that only breaks even or is cash flow negative from MLS with my agent (doesn't seem smart to me)2) Pay my agent commission out of my own pocket for any wholesale properties I buy through wholesalers I find (the numbers don't work out in my favor here, leaving little margin for profit....)3) Don't buy anything at all until the exclusivity agreement ends ... in another 11 months (this does not seem viable to me either, since that would set me back enormously in my investing goals which include acquiring $X in passive annual cash flow this year)4) Find a friendly wholesaler who is willing to pay my agent some commission without padding the price 5) Buy from a wholesaler and legally don't involve my agent.

I've been learning the industry for the last year, I think there is more money to be made in technology that allows CBD to be applied or ingested than in growing.

If flippers aren't getting quality deals from wholesalers in the area, isn't it just smart of them to go direct to homeowners?

So, I pieced together some personal technology work arounds.

I am a smart guy but I don't have a lot of experience with designing websites and I don't want to waste a lot of time figuring it out.
