He's had a lot of issues trying to sell this property and now I understand why.

The issue I generally find is most new investors don't have enough deal flow that they tend to try and make prospective seller a "deal."

@Craig James Right now Walnut Hills, Evanston, and Northside are pretty hot, but a deal is a deal no matter where its at, id like to link up with and investor and establish a partnership.

Sounds like your recruiter has the ethics issue and wants you to remain an agent instead of encouraging you to grow.

Perhaps we could meet for coffee or lunch to discuss the deals you've been a part of and brainstorm some of the issues you are having with your processes and go from there?

So far, we have not had an issue with abuse, but as @Neil Metzger mentioned, that is always a possibility.  

I have a steady income through another business that I enjoy and will not be leaving anytime soon so income replacement is not an issue and I surely don't need another job as a flipper or wholesaler.
