Figure how much property I'm coming into (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

estimate

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'figure' is the definition.
(I know that figure can be written as estimate)

'much property i'm coming into' is the wordplay.
'much property' becomes 'estate' (estate is a kind of property. I am not sure about the 'much' bit.).
'coming into' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'estate' placed around 'im' is 'ESTIMATE'.

'how' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for estimate that I've seen before include "Calculate roughly" , "'Judge, calculate (8)'" , "Reckon, guess" , "Judge the approximate value" , "Judge the worth of" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
