I'm finally ready to pull the trigger and start my investing venture.

I know how hard it is as I was an accidental landlord and I am just glued to the MLS (my only source as of now) with my finger itching to pull the trigger for that second property.

So I need everyone's input please please and please :) I am going to do my first deal this fall and I am trying to do everything in my power to get as much information before pulling the trigger.
