Welcome to BP!  Since I'm not in your state, I hope you'll see my advice for what it is (advice) rather than a pitch for business.  : )

As you're just beginning this journey, I would highly recommend you meet with a mortgage/financial professional as soon as possible.  He/she should ask you to lay out your short- and long-term goals so he/she can help you construct a plan that will enable you to reach your short-term goals and reap results that will provide resources necessary to pursue and achieve your long-term goals.  Quite often, investors start off "too hot" and end up either overdeveloping or spending their money too fast - this will definitely short-circuit your plans and severely limit your future options.  

If you don't know any mortgage/financial pros personally, I would highly recommend finding a handful of investors whom you respect and asking them for a referral.  I wish you the very best!

Happy to help!  You'll be fantastic!

Welcome to BP! Given the fact you're in Texas, I feel I can offer this piece of advice to you without it coming across as a "pitch" for your business.

When you are about to "throw yourself" into this new endeavor or REI, I would strongly recommend you meet with a mortgage/financial professional first. When you meet with him/her, he/she will ask that you share both your short-term AND your long-term goals. Then, he/she will be able to help you construct a plan that will enable you to reach your short-term goals and reap the benefits needed for the proceeds and resources that your long-term goals will require. All too often, new investors either overdevelop or spend their money too fast - both of these behaviors derail their plans and stops them woefully short. If you don't have a mortgage person yet, I would strongly recommend reaching out to a couple of investors you know in your area and asking them for a referral.

I wish you the very best!

Welcome back to BP! All the advice is great.  You would be surprised, though, to learn that there are a lot of houses in the Arizona markets that would be good investments, too.  Sure, it's hotter than . . . well, it's hotter than Germany, but the winters here are great.
