What should my next moves be in this situation

[Antoine V.]

So I have come into some money and trying to figure out how to make it work for me. I just bought a house in Utah using my VA loan for my family to live in, have another 10 months before I can move out and house hack. I have about 50k to put towards an investment but most of the properties in Utah are crazy expensive. I have looked at out of state and am not opposed to it but I just want to make sure my money is put to good use.
