Develop a path to the first investment in a full-size, well-performing rental property to get the first cash flow "workhorse" in place. 

I totally agree with @Kyle Spearin, definitely start with getting your license and then learn as much as you can from the people around you.

At your age I would definitely recommend keeping both properties.

Yes can definitely turn your current primary into a rental and purchase a primary in FL where your employment is moving you to .

The long game is definitely how I want to play.

I can definitely tell you there's still a lot of positive cash flowing and 1% rule deals and you get amazing appreciation.

definitely . first thing is to find the builder . then get a realtor to let you know what type of properties are in demand for the area . get a quote from the builder how much to build and see what realtor thinks for value after its built 

Definitely working on building a network here and helping others where I can as I learn, so it’d be great to chat with a local like yourself!

I’ll definitely reach out to him

The STR market is definitely changing and as many are finding out, rules can change in mid stride leaving you stuck with what you thought was a gold mine.
