I’ve been scouring their knowledge articles and don’t see any info on their field names.

If I’m the one scouring the MLS, bringing forward the offers, sometimes seeing the houses (without my agent), and crunching the return numbers. what should they be doing for me? 

Scour, search, over turn rocks, anyway you can to find deals. 

@Rob Flagg Hello Rob, I have been scouring the markets here in Colorado Springs for a bit and have been going through a lot of the same questions you posted.

Meanwhile, thanks to everyone who responded with locations to research - I've been scouring the BP forums every day for just this type of info.

I'm scouring the Internet for creative investment opportunities, and I'm concurrently trying to plan my wedding.

I would leverage your existing agent to scour the MLS for deals, and you can focus on off market deals as a NON AGENT. 

Of course you can scour a round and maybe find a deal but you are going to go up against  the 3 factors, old homes,high lot rents, or high land costs I would rather find a condo then a mobile  

Along with that I have been feeding myself with knowledge from endless hours of BP Podcasts, towers of books, scouring the internet forums, and picking the brains of semi-successful REIs.RE Experience: I bought my first home back in 2015 with the mindset of eventually renting it out in the future.

Along with everyone else, I'm going to play a hard#ss but you need to scour the web to research these yourself before going straight into such simple questions..I definitely do not think you are ready for this type of deal.
