Introducing myself- just starting out

[Tatiana Podel]

Hi everyone, I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself. My husband and I are in our early thirties. We both have great w-2 jobs that are really demanding and have always wanted to add to our portfolio a few rental properties. We have two little kids and we are at a point where we need to take the leap into real estate in the hopes that in a few years I can take a step back from my job to be a bigger part of our kids lives. I am a CPA and actually work with a lot of large real estate funds on the tax side so we have that going for us. I would love to hear any advice on best first five steps! We would like to keep it simple and start locally in central Florida area.
