What area, in particular, are you looking to educate yourself on?

Obviously those aren't die hard rules but good markers.

She also manages to explain the information in layman's terms for those of us who aren't lawyers. 

Like I said I am totally green in the world of real estate and looking for as much education as possible.

These guys aren’t making a killing in service calls.

On advice: I would recommend that all member of your partnership team spend a little bit of time on bigger pockets getting educated and listening to podcasts.

In my experience, most agents aren't going to be helpful here (some exceptions).You can ballpark these things after getting some data:Rent:  use the sites  you think you're future tenant will use to find you as a landlord (Zillow, Rent.com, a big property manager in your area, Craigslist) and look for similar places in similar neighborhoods. 

Buyer will be less qualified for the same amount of loan; in plain English, buyers cannot afford the price of the property that he or she is looking at to buy at the higher rate….An educated buyer agent should search more (work harder) to find a similar property for his buyer, it is not a bad idea to search for motivated sellers or short sales.

For the past few months I’ve been getting my education( listening to BP podcast, reading books, etc).

Those also aren't numbers that will have flippers jumping through hoops to buy it at, but my friend still has a potential opportunity of not moving from his home of 7 years, AND capturing $30k+ in equity.
