New investor, Planning to move to Jacksonville to BRRR-Good Idea?

I am a young mid-20's new investor planning to move to Jacksonville, FL to start BRRRing. I currently do not have any rental properties and have just been reading a lot of real estate books and listening to podcasts. I currently am in Texas but the properties here are more expensive and the property tax is high. 

Should I start investing/BRRRing here in Texas first or should I move to Jacksonville, FL to get beginning experience? I have about 200k cash to work with. I currently live in the Houston, TX area and it seems many people are investing outside due to better price/rent ratios, lower property taxes, and because of flooding/hurricanes here.

@Bryan T., if you're worried about hurricanes, Florida isn't for you.

Houston has generally been flat however that's been changing and values have been rising. $200k will go a long ways in Houston, plus you know the city. That's a huge plus.
