A Realtor only needs to know enough to CLOSE the DEAL.  

An Investor ACTUALLY has to FIGURE it all out, REALIZE the Potential.

-----

ex. Realtor need to know just enough about the market, ARV, the process. Find the people involved. Once the deal is done, they move to the next deal.

the Investors that actually buys the unit, has to make what the REALTOR's projections a Reality.  Make the renovation, figure out the zoning, get the permits approve, Negotiate the contracts, and realize the potential of the property. When the deal is over, it's theirs to figure it all out.
