If you have a contract with a listing agent, they are selling your house and you have no obligation to them if you go and buy a house unless you signed buyer agency agreement with them.Side note, anyone working for .5 percent isn't worth working with and you sound like the worst client for an agent in the world.

Based on the supply of homes for sale and the time of year, I predict home values will drop a little bit over this winter until early spring.

Hi I’m new to the Bigger Pockets forum and I had a question.

There are many who are just getting started that think, "well this is easy" and homes always appreciate 10% per year etc. and I will be a millionaire in five years.

I imagine there is a lot of work and things that need to be sorted during the day and cant wait for the weekend. 

I've been researching and vetting syndicators.

I'd highly encourage you to reach out to folks providing value to other people in the forums and see if they're accepting clients at this time.
