New Investor from California

[Gina Moore]

Hi there, just call me dazed and confused.... I just sold an investment property that I purchased in 2011 and lived in as my primary residence. I did well with the sale and would now like to purchase and hold a multifamily unit. I am very interested in the State of Texas, but do not know where to begin. I have received some property information from a couple of realtors based on inquiries I requested from LoopNet.com. Should I reach out to a real estate broker, do I just pick a realtor, make  out a list of interesting properties, request a tour and fly out to Texas? Help.....
