We were in business with countless part time, dual career, investor based agents and with some of the fees  these agents still chose us because of the education as well as the vertical and horizontal income opportunities built into the model (profit share, JV title company, JV insurance company, ability to build a team, expand the team, ability to take on leadership positions, ability to get paid to train and coach, etc.)

I've spent countless hours doing exactly what you've done here in modeling out my own finances, real estate, businesses, etc.

I am going to get into this game really soon.

Countless new investors flame out after no deals or 1 deal because of the lack of planning and willingness to put in the work to make it a sustainable business.  

I'm looking to do my first flip this year and after listening to countless BP podcasts and reading countless books, I figured it's time to start executing.

Sorry if this sounds harsh, I don't mean it to be a smack down, I am just trying to better understand your situation before addressing your question.On another note, before you commit to the idea that weird and strange are not good traits, just keep in mind places like: The Mission District in SF, SoHo in NY, and countless other places around the globe. 

People trying to get free data is not something a broker has time for unless that person is working to understand an asset class to put in an offer.People just focusing on random thoughts, learning the space,etc. need to put in their time.I have built a database over 14 years of thousands of owners but have put in countless hours building it.If you are looking for something specific with a property look up the tax record and mail to the owner.

so I've had several visits to the city, several meetings and countless conversations with the team members put me at ease.  

Based on my studies the last several months, it would be great to start off young, as well as the advice taken from countless blogs, articles and forums.I started saving about the same time I began researching, and have almost 10g, and certain stories I've read that for a small home, only a few thousand is needed for a down payment.
