Where should I start?

[Jacques Laplante]

So I’m preparing to buy a home as soon as my lease is up in the Orlando area but this would be my first home that I would want to turn into an investment property but I don’t know in what order I should do things like, should I get a real estate agent first then worry about pre-approval or is it the other way around I want to get into investing in real estate and feel like this would get the ball swinging but I want to make sure I have my ducks in a row before I start.
