New member in Texas

[Chris Stuck]

Greetings to all!! I'm new to the boards and really new to RE investing.  I'm just trying to see if this is an option for me.  I had a home I rented for a year or so through a management company after making a cross country move at the tail end of the real estate crisis.  I'm currently in SE Texas, but am very interested in Tallahassee, Florida, as I would like to head back there eventually.  Long story short, I'm just trying to figure out where to begin.
