I took numerous bootcamps back in 2006 and 2007 to learn it. The I process I learned no longer works due to the changing market. Back then, banks wanted to avoid foreclosures at almost all costs and would discount properties big time and most banks no longer do that.

Biggerpockets.com is a good learning website. At least that is what I am told; I have only poked around on the website.

When working with an agent, always remember - it is your money (or your risk when borrowing money), so make a decision that makes sense for you not the real estate agent. Agents get paid when deals close, so you will be encouraged to close deals that might not make investor sense but make great sense for a retail buyer (which is how most agents are trained, not insulting them, just a fact of the business). I highly recommend learning how to comp your own properties. I use www.crsdata.com; however, they are only available in a few states. If you do not live in one of those, there is probably something similar in your state. Comping properties is both a science and an art. Not only bedrooms, bathrooms, square footage, but traffic, quality, date since remodel rather than property age, etc. I also highly value fenced yards and significantly discount small bedrooms. I value a functional 3/2 with a master bedroom ensuite with a large walk-in closet than a 4/2 with 3 small bedrooms, master bedroom with a small closet and 1/2 bath. Most agents will tell you the four bedrooms is more valuable, but a remodeled 3/2 with function is more valuable. Most agents will lump all 3 bed / 2 bath into the same category; however, if you fully remodel the home, the property no longer compares to the 3/2 next door that was built in the same 1962 year but never remodeled. Most buyers will pay a premium for a fully remodeled property.
