She and her partner are very knowledgeable about many aspects of REI.

It prepares you to help others buy / sell their own properties.Investing should start with entrepreneurship, then various aspects of stewardship of money, and WHOLE lot more BEFORE you take off into doing property deals.

I have not done any deals yet but plan on following through with that. im currently learning as much as I can about all aspects before i go ahead and pull the trigger. 

I always knew it was something I wanted to explore for myself and I have enjoyed every aspect I've experienced so far.I am hear to learn about real estate and network.

I am looking into all aspects of real estate and have a plan that I think will work out really well for the area I live in.

I don't see any incentive for a realtor to run multiple CMA's for us on a weekly basis, if we are not using them to buy the properties because we are working directly with the homeowners and our cash buyers.I'm sure I'm missing a step or perhaps I misunderstood some aspect of running the numbers.I was under the impression (from our training) that Realtors would have no problem running comparable if we just ask them...but I just don't see why they would spend their time running comparables if they aren't getting compensated.So I'm hoping some investor friendly realtors (preferably in Topeka or Kansas City) can help clarify and answer this question for me.  

So what I'm looking for from you, the greatest RE community, is some guidance on which strategy I should go with, and / or more details about HUD homes.I'd love to connect with people who have:Gone through the process of buying a HUD home (so I could get a step-by-step)An agent that specializes in HUD homes (I've heard too many stories of unqualified agents dropping the ball)Experience in the University Heights market (I've been looking on the west side mostly)Experience with FHA / 203(k) loans (to go over finer details)I would be extremely grateful if anyone could help at all.

That sounds like a really fun aspect of real estate!

Real estate interests me in all aspects but flips and income properties the most. 

I am now getting a certificate from zoning to show there is no commercial aspect to this property.
