It doesn't matter if they are currently for listed for sale or not, I just want to understand what's out there.  

I am in the process of finishing real estate school to get a better understanding of what I'm getting into. 

Hi Douglas,Sorry for the job loss I understand from that experience.Great that you are venturing into RE. 

I have done a limited number of deals in other states (while living there), but would like to gain a greater understanding of my current market. 

@Adam A. actually I did understand your question.

I take your advice very well and i understand i can learn from all.

The bigger picture would be for me to understand my community more and possibly influence it somehow.
