Looking to purchase 2nd property, any advice?

[Blake Rice]

So I have a 1 property that I short term rent and rent an apartment for now. I am looking to buy a 2nd property and possibly live in it as the goal is to buy 1 property over the next 5 years. Any advices on t he 2nd property? Should it be a condo or a home, duplex possibly? I've done a ton of research and understand is almost more important than your first property. I am open to LV, Tampa FL, New York, and Dallas.

Thanks in advance.
