For someone new to real estate investing that wants to do long term rentals, do you recommend starting off in an area close to them/an area they're familiar with or someplace that will give them the best return even if it's out of state. 2.

Quote from @Alex Spivey: I want to start renting as soon as I can so does anyone have adviceYou want to find a place to rent and occupy, or you want to buy an investment that you can rent to others?

Welcome to BiggerPockets Lee and best of luck investing!

I'm currently investing in the Milwaukee area.

Start with BiggerPockets Ultimate Beginners Guide (free).

Start by talking to a cross-border CPA and attorney to handle taxes and legal structures properly.

Starting all over from scratch... my gray hair is turning back black....LOL.   

I'm new to real estate and have recently become interested in wholesaling as a way to get started.

Hi @Gil Canfu definitely there are many places in DFW where you can invest in a good rental property.I am not sure where you are at, but if self managed you should start in cities with good proximity to where you live.All the corridor between Princeton to Saginaw has good deals but there are many others things to consider as I mentioned previously.

Bigger pockets is a great place to start by asking advice to those who live or invest in certain states/cities.
