How to save for rental property?

[Nicholas Blaylock]

Need in depth advice on what financial portals would be best to help me possibly save up for my first rental property. I currently have a household income of 42k, and looking to save up short term (roughly 6-8 months) to purchase real estate. I’ve been looking into Money Market Accounts, but skeptical on the fact that I could lose my money while I’m trying to save. Any advice would be truly appreciated. Thank you!
