<hr data-start="1251" data-end="1254" />
<p data-start="1256" data-end="1462"><strong data-start="1256" data-end="1298">Step 2: Research the Market Thoroughly</strong><br data-start="1298" data-end="1301" />Study supply and demand, local infrastructure projects, and neighborhood growth potential. Moreover, analyzing past and future trends helps anticipate returns.</p>
