You'll start to learn the shorthand of ARV, CoC, ROI, cap-rate, etc. pretty quickly.I think most of the language around "where to buy" is a lot easier to understand:  job growth, population growth, average household income, unemployment, school district quality, crime heatmaps, blah...blah...blah...  

As far as them screwing you over, just have to be aware of some of the language they use in their disclosures, promissory notes, loan docs etc.
