Starting out in central Florida

[Emmanuel Okelola]

Hello,

I'm curious on recommendations on how to get started. I've read Brandon Turners book on Rental Property Investing, I regularly listen to the bigger pockets podcasts as well as research and learn about buying and long term rentals to get into real estate investing through multiple other resources. I've established a very stable  I've determined that local properties should be my first choice and by local I mean within 1.5 hours of my primary residence. I'm just not sure exactly where to start or find properties, or how to go about the first few steps past saving for a downpayment. Any Recommendations would be much appreciated.
