Like partner up with a realtor and have them set you up searches in their system to feed you the price and other features you want to buy.   

They understand, that you would not sue them for ''specific performance'' and if you do, it will take 3-4 years, plus attorneys' feed, etc; even if you win the case 3-4 years later, it's not worth the time and effort, lick your wounds, and don't step on the same rake any more :-)

Please let me know what you think and if any investors are from that area, i would love your feed back.

So $27k-$31k would be my profit.Again, I am open to any feed back and maybe another way at looking at this.  

Great points guys, thank you for the feed back.

If you are able to consistently close on deals they feed you, they will begin to trust you.

His Office gets maybe $600 (listing office gets half), he gets maybe $450 if that with likely some other Transaction feed too, he has expenses....mls, realtor association, insurance, car, gas etc.

If @Matthew Botos is needing to feed that nerd-dom and has some serious free time - together with a real estate agent who would willingly provide the comps - it might be possible to see if there is a greater rise in rents/property-sales-prices in areas near a light rail just after it opened, compared to those at some specified distance from them.

Ok, question just to feed my curiosity, how long did it take you pay off and ar least double your initial educational investment?

So think you have some decent feed back... good luck hope it works out for you.
