Newbie Investor in Florida

[Grant Booze]

Hey everyone, I just created my account on here and want to say hello. I've begun reading a lot of books regarding rental properties, and most recently, buying properties for renting out in a different state. I live in Florida near Sarasota Fl. It's just too expensive down here and I was curious where others would recommend looking and where they've had success. Not to mention, any wisdom they might want to share. I appreciate any help and I look forward to being part of the BiggerPockets community
