Best advice for newbie?

I am currently Active Duty Military with a pretty busy work schedule as I also take college classes online. I have $5,000 ready to invest and I'm not exactly what the best step would be. I live in a small rural town(Leesville) in Louisiana and am currently stuck in on-post lease till September 1, 2020. I plan on using the VA loan later this year to move into a single family home but I really want to make an investment sooner than that, possibly using an FHA loan. I have excellent credit and am wondering what price point would be smart to buy my first investment property?

Anything helps! Thank you so much.
