in any event, what is the "normal" value of an extra bathroom - say around $10K?

:D).I plan on attending law school (not sure yet of specialization, but I will be pursuing something in financials: tax, capital markets, investment banking, REITs, etc) beginning 2014, and consequently, have a "gap year" to build experience (any productive kind) and possibly earn some modest cash to put towards (near)-future investments.

There are a lot of different ways to earn money in real estate.

We make good money between the both of us and have extra money to invest.

I use my extra money and borrowing ability to buy cash flow rentals out of state that actually really cash flow as opposed to a maybe break even asset that my only hope is for the market to trend up and is based on what someone in DC decides to do that effects the economy as a whole, or what 1 million other people in my local metro suddenly decide that pushes value one way or another.

What I do now is put bids in like I stated earlier Wednesday and Thursday so they can be accepted so I can the extra two days on the weekend to show my cash buyer and if the buyer doesn't want it cancel my bid before going under contract, no more stress!

I've reached out to a few realtors and also said I'll go the extra mile and look out for their best interest in exchange of a few things I need done and haven't found one to work with me.

As you can imagine, that means I have very little overhead and am therefore free to invest a significant majority of my earned income.

I would love to see their student success rates publicly posted as part of their marketing, not just the 'testimonial' with the accompanying disclaimer that this person's earnings/experience were unusual.

(the seller is sick of dealing with RE agents and offered me half a typical RE commission).I have a great rapport with the seller and am happy to help them out, and wouldn't mind the extra cash.
