Coworker got fired because they stole my clients! We have a policy stating that the realtor who initiated the contact should be the one closing the deal to give them a fair chance. I feel bad but they should have read the policy...

Oh that's too bad, he really should have informed himself before doing something he wasn't sure about.

Shouldn't play the game without reading the rules first

No need to feel bad, everyone there should know the expectations. No one's fault but your coworker's imo

Was that a first offense? Isn't it a bit extreme to fire them because of that?

Yeah seems like a bit of an overreaction if you ask me, but that's still not the OP's fault.

Fired?? Your boss does not play around with the rules lol

It's a competitive business. Unless a client has signed, they aren't really an agent's client yet. I'm surprised the policy wasn't pointed out to them clearly from the start. Still, not your fault in any way, no need to feel bad :)

Any downside to buying a 1bed 170k starter house instead of paying 1.5k in rent for a couple of years? Living with parents and thinking of getting a new place post covid.

I'm able to buy the house all cash or at least 50% down (credit is low) and assuming closing costs are not that big a deal at this price point. If my math is correct then buying comes out to be better in this situation but I've never owned any RE before so wondering what else I might be missing.
