Study the market for that investment product.

I liked to study things such as prices, comparable homes, and the housing market. 

You need to study real estate investing and figure out your criteria before jumping in. 

Finally, as an engineer, i am studying for my professional engineer license after this project is over so i can stamp my own AutoCAD drawings (don't need an architect anymore) --- since getting the license is for my real estate business, i would think studying hours would count as well.
