You really need to immerse yourself and learn all you can.

I've been deeply immersed in researching real estate investments since I recently had a business sale that resulted in substantial capital gains.

Please note that the statutes, definitions and legal principles relevant to abandoned real estate and adverse possession can be counter-intuitive to persons who are not immersed in those subjects.

I have immersed myself in this process since my wife’s friend introduced us to it a little over a month ago.

Start studying and immersing yourself in RE in whatever ways possible.

However, I prefer to be immersed in the reletting of my properties because I like the properties to rent out very clean and my new tenants to seem nice and organized...as well as financially qualified.

Given the flexibility you have with working remotely that will help as well because you spend a week immersing yourself in the areas you are thinking about investing.

I wanted to fully-immerse myself because I believe in it and I'm passionate about it. 

Whether it's the forums, many of the books through BP, blogs, or whatever your preferred source, immerse yourself in as much knowledge as you can.As @Sierra Johnson mentioned, a good Realtor is a great resource to have. 

The choice between the two will ultimately depend on your specific needs and preferences.Projectors have the advantage of providing a larger and more immersive viewing experience, as they can project images onto large screens or walls.
