Newbie Investor from Miami, Florida

[Stephanie Sicard]

My name is Stephanie and I am a newbie investor that lives in Miami, Florida. I currently work as a Property Manager and recently discovered that investing in rental properties is what I want to do until I decide to retire. I am excited about this new path I am taking and have been educating myself for the past few weeks. I am currently reading " The Book on Rental Property Investing" by Brandon Turner. I plan on purchasing my first duplex or triplex by the end of this year. The prices in Miami are fairly high and I wanted to know if anyone has had experience purchasing multi-family homes in this area and what is some advice they would give me before I take the big step. 

Thanks for all the feedback in advance!
