A noob to RE investing

[Scott Loud]

Hello, I recently caught the bug for real estate investing and am looking to get started. I live in the Ogden area of UT. My goals are to invest in single family and small multi family properties. I’ve been in this area a couple years and know most of the hoods fairly well. 
I also am familiar with the Orlando, FL area as I lived there for 6 years as well. 
I’m currently on a book binge to learn all I can as quickly as I can however I’d love to hear any unique advice on how to better be educated before I dive into making purchases.
