Hello Alex,

Hope all is well. 

learning the lingo of real estate comes with experience, it's almost like learning another language you can study words and definitions all you want but the best way to learn is through conversation with someone who speaks the language. 

When it comes to comps, you have to know your market. I say this because certain neighborhoods are better than others and they can be closer in proximity than <1 mile driving distance. For example if your comps are in a gated community and your subject property isn't that can affect your values. If your subject property is in a different school zone than comps that can also affect you value so you really have to know your market.

Rehabs are always going to be estimates because everybody is going to have different idea of what they would do with the property. I would focus on learning the market rate for rehab items and use that data to build your rehabs.

Welcome @Whitney Henry,

I totally understand where you are coming from.  I can only respond based on my experience but I was in, somewhat of, the same position as you.  I wanted to learn the in's and out's of real estate investing but did not know where to start.  

I did some online research and went to several seminars but had no success on where to start.  

Ultimately, I decided to get my real estate license and work with a wholesale brokerage that specialize and focus on finding investment properties for investors.  I figured that I would be able to pick the brains of, not only my colleagues and broker, but would be able to connect and learn from investors and other professionals that are associated with investment real estate like contractors, hard money lenders, property managers etc... while still making a living.  

At this point, I have gained so many resources and networked with so many individuals for the purpose of bettering others business's, that I can also utilize myself.  Also, I gained perspective from many different sources oppose to just learning from one individual.  I am able to see what to do and what not to do before ever touching a property.  

This was just my path but I just wanted to give you an option that may work for you.  PM me if you would like to discuss further or if you would like to do business!  I'm always open to help.  Hopefully I'll hear from you soon.  Have a great day.

Regards, 

Antonio
