Also studying to be a certified "home inspector" and I have been studying building science.

Real estate is a social business, it's an art and a science.

Hopefully I will meet someone there who will be will into show me a few things in return for me adding value to them whatever that may be, such as a free intern, free tech support (in the last yea of getting a computer science degree) or just free labor worker for there properties.

These tenants sound like professional deadbeats who have the art of freeloading down to a science. 

If you want to learn how to comp a property there's a whole lot of resources available here on BP and even on Youtube.I suggest you read past "Step 4" in the article for this guy's comp strategy:https://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/2014/04/2...With that said, It's an art not a science really as almost everyone has a different style of comp'ing properties and if you ask an agent to show you how they do it, it'll only be so helpful as your resources for getting data will be different. 

Fascinating technique ultimately assisting a tenant to home ownership

I am fascinated with the power of networking and enjoy every moment of it.

Not rocket science. 

It's not an exact science and there is not a lot of data out there, but at least you will obtain a point of reference.

I love everyone's attitude and the ideas are fascinating.
