If you actually want to do residential sales, you may want to consider going to a big box shop where you can get the right training, as well as piggy back off of their branding to help your business.

Hello, my name is Shaun.  I'm 37, live in DFW, been at my job for 15 years and am ready for early retirement!  I found BiggerPockets thanks to amazon.com.  I purchased The Book on Rental Property Investing last week. ...

Is there a way to do a market analysis similar to what a Realtor would perform if selling or buying a home?

I am brand new to investing and I'm very curious to find out more about low to no cost invested

No worries about a seller sueing for specific performance.  

The good thing about holding them is that most are rented and performing.

I am extremely excited for the opportunities to invest in real estate and create a company/brand that I can pass on to my children. 

If you do want more training in real estate sales, consider joining a big brand name brokerage.

Rental rates are increasing steadily and I could see this market end up being the top performing market in the country when 2016 comes to a close.

To be exact, $5,000,000 in loan transactions a year.There might be a potential market for a middle man that would allow people that do not $5,000,000 a year to get some of the data.For example, many investors would love to find non performing loans in only one zip code.
