Another Newbie tests the water

[Mark Laird]

I'm obviously new as the subject clearly indicates. I'm just trying to learn as much as I can so please forgive me if I sound ignorant, because I am. I was thinking about multifamily but there seems to be good deals on single family property. Don't know if i want to invest local or in another area that is less expensive. Any advise would be much appreciated. 

Thanks.
