During that year, save, study the market, network with local investors, learn from them what they are doing to make profit and avoiding, narrow in on a sub-market you'd like to start investing in, and learn that sub-market like the back of your hand so that you know instantly looking at a property in that market what sort of neighborhood it is in, whether or not it is a deal, and what price would make it a great deal  ... that way, you can answer your own question and gain some knowledge and local experience.
