Red Sox player getting in the real estate game!

Hello everyone! Just wanted to introduce myself a little as i have read through this site many times and decided to finally make a jump in my life and start investing in real estate.

My name is Carlos and i play professional baseball for the Boston Red Sox organization. i am currently in high-A(minor leagues) for the Red Sox and after signing for a decent bonus, i have been sitting and slowly losing money sooooo it's time for me to make a real investment. i am 22 years old and have a bachelors degree in business administration, just as a back up plan, if baseball doesnt work out...

Because my situation is pretty unique for a lot of people, i am constantly moving and dont have a true "permanent" residence since im in season 7 month of the year and then "home" 5 months. But i am currently stayin in south florida( broward county) for the off season..

I have read numerous books and blogs on REI and i have decided that it's time to stop reading about it and get my hands dirty and DO IT!

For my first real estate endeavor, i would really like to purchase a rental property. that's my goal so far but i have a ton of questions which i hope the people on here can help me with!
