Keep it up!  If you ever tire of lush and beautiful Florida and want to venture into the sands and saguaros of Arizona, we would love to sit down with you and talk strategy.  We work with a lot of investors like yourself who is right on the cusp of taking that next BIG step.

Nolan:

Welcome to BP!  Since I'm not in your state, I hope you'll see my advice for what it is (advice) rather than a pitch for business.  : )

As you're just beginning this journey, I would highly recommend you meet with a mortgage/financial professional as soon as possible.  He/she should ask you to lay out your short- and long-term goals so he/she can help you construct a plan that will enable you to reach your short-term goals and reap results that will provide resources necessary to pursue and achieve your long-term goals.  Quite often, investors start off "too hot" and end up either overdeveloping or spending their money too fast - this will definitely short-circuit your plans and severely limit your future options.  

If you don't know any mortgage/financial pros personally, I would highly recommend finding a handful of investors whom you respect and asking them for a referral.  I wish you the very best!

Welcome to BP! Given the fact you're in Texas, I feel I can offer this piece of advice to you without it coming across as a "pitch" for your business.

When you are about to "throw yourself" into this new endeavor or REI, I would strongly recommend you meet with a mortgage/financial professional first. When you meet with him/her, he/she will ask that you share both your short-term AND your long-term goals. Then, he/she will be able to help you construct a plan that will enable you to reach your short-term goals and reap the benefits needed for the proceeds and resources that your long-term goals will require. All too often, new investors either overdevelop or spend their money too fast - both of these behaviors derail their plans and stops them woefully short. If you don't have a mortgage person yet, I would strongly recommend reaching out to a couple of investors you know in your area and asking them for a referral.

I wish you the very best!

Christina:

Welcome back to BP! All the advice is great.  You would be surprised, though, to learn that there are a lot of houses in the Arizona markets that would be good investments, too.  Sure, it's hotter than . . . well, it's hotter than Germany, but the winters here are great.
