How do you look at a house? Investor eyes?

[Sam Rockafellow]

IN the Marine Corps I studied what is called Combat Hunter. We took hours of classes on how to identify human existence while patrolling though rural terrain. We learned how to identify many things about the enemy. Figured out how many people walked through that area, whether they were walking with or without a load. Identifying anything that would help us in the fight that we were walking towards. We had trained eyes. I get a similar feeling when I'm walking through a possible investment opportunity. Not so much the threat of violence, But the opportunity to learn as much as possible about a property before I take on the burden of ownership. I am a newbie and have 0 investment properties under my belt but I have walked through 10 properties in the past 2 months and realized I'm looking at it with untrained eyes. My question to the bigger pockets community is How do you get trained investor eyes? Do you have a system or a strategy in place for when you walk through an investment property for the first time? Do you have a list of questions that you ask every agent that is showing you the property? Do you walk around the outside 1st and look for structural issues or do you go right inside and see the status of the flooring and walls and kitchen? To give more of a visual of my question my primary focus right now is SFR's and I am located in Grand Rapids Michigan Thanks in advance -Sam Rockafellow
