Investing in multifamily out of state

[Alexis York]

I bought my first property a year ago, condo in las vegas. I am ready to buy another one, but I am leaning more towards duplex out of state some where in Florida. Is right now a good time to buy? 

I have a good amount of cash in my accounts. However I am a cocktail server here in Vegas and have difficulty getting approved sometimes for loans due to my tips being a big part of my income. 

Any tips reccomendations would be appreciated.
