What should I do next?

[Keleisha Carter]

So I’ve read Rental Property Investing, Beginners Guide to Real Estate investing, found out what I need to do to get pre-approved, but what can I do next? I’m listening podcasts and about to start reading The Millionaire Real Estate Investor but think I should be doing more to be prepared for when I do get pre-approved.  I also want to invest in Florida and eventually re-locate there but currently  living in Boston. Any suggestions on what else I can do or advice on analyzing deals such as getting repairs cost, how to go about analyzing property expenses etc.
