Terms for investments are everywhere in real estate.  You may hear lenders, agents and brokers talking the real estate jargon.  If you are finding a way to be a part of the real estate world for any type of investment, you will want to become familiar with the different terms that are used in real estate.  The first one to define is comparable sales.
