Now I've sold all my properties in 4 states and of the remaining I self manage in 2 states and have a large property management firm in the other 2 states. 

I'm also from Brazil and I'm local to Stamford.

Purchase price: $50,000 Cash invested: $50,000 My first investment was a three unit deal for $50,000 cash.

Quote from @Donyea Jenkins:To not be overwhelmed I would pick one and stick to that for awhile, then add in another and so on. 

The properties do not have to cash flow a significant amount (although I wouldn’t hate that) they just have to sustain themselves as we have three incomes between us and not looking to quit our W2’s to live off cash flow.

Purchase price: $28,500 Cash invested: $178,000 Sale price: $250,000 Bought a 3 unit riddled with drugs or prostitutes from the city at the tax auction, spent a year gutting and consolidating all three units in two structures to a single-family home with an exterior side entry garage.
