Really appreciate you chiming in. One final question: how do I (an idiot) make sure that I don’t hire an idiot agent? I’m sure most of them can drop fancy jargon I don’t understand in an attempt to sound knowledgeable and qualified, so how I do make sure I work with one who truly knows their stuff?

I know people who have felt like having a buyers agent was a rip off and not worth the service they received. Clearly you have good knowledge that could help a buyer assess whether or not a house they are looking at is in good condition, and valued properly.

On average, so you find that most of your peers have this level of knowledge? Can you comment on why agents are worth 3% of the sales price?

Alright so if property can’t be used as an investment source anymore, what do people do? End up with a non-diversified portfolio and all their assets tied into the stock market? Can land still be used as an asset or is that off limits too? Can I own any tangible asset or am I just fucked if the market isn’t doing well?
