Or, a place where lots of new houses are being built might give you an indication that its an opportunity zone or in high demand.Smart Steps to TakeLook Back in Time: Use Google Maps to flip through images from different years to see how things have changed on and around the property.Spot the Signs: Keep an eye out for things like construction activity, nearby abandoned areas, traffic velocity to understand how things have developed over time.Predict the Future: Knowing what’s happened before can help you guess what might happen next.

Keep saving as much as you can.
