Seeking your advice for my 2nd investment property

[Ali Masoudi]

Hi everyone, I'm 38-years old, and new to the real estate investing world. My first investment property is a SFR in AUSTIN TX. I'm now looking for my 2nd investment property and seeking all your advise and recommendations. I'd like to own this property in "appreciation" markets (obviously with a small cashflow would be an ideal), and based on my market research, am more interested in Florida, Atlanta, Charlotte and north Dallas. Among these markets, Florida (FL) sounds very attractive to me. My questions to you are 1) From strategy viewpoint, what's your general investing advise for my 2nd property? Do you think it's a good idea to focus on appreciation market? and 2) What'd be your recommendation among the above-mentioned or perhaps other markets that I need to look into? Do you know where in fL would be really great to invest for the future?
