A noob to RE investing

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.

Welcome to the Real Estate market! The best way I learned is OJT (On the job training). Obviously you'd want to limit your risk factor here so maybe start small and work your way up. I always tell people that a great way to enter the market is a house hack. Live in one side and rent the other. This way you'll learn some small repairs as every property has them and you'll see the PM side from the other side that you rent. This is how I started in Columbus OH and have been growing since!
