My plan at the moment is to live at uncles house to save money, finalize things I need to do in my location and find an apartment that has a short term lease of 6 months in Dallas.

Longert term goal is to purchase larger apartment complexes.  

i would be purchasing the property with an FHA loan. and im also looking for solid cashflow + long term holding 

A mid term rental type format?

And are 30 year terms available? 

If I can instead have a long term unit that nets some money when I don't use it, and I don't need to deal with a noisy roommate, that'd be better.

When looking to purchase your first investment property, would you prefer a short term or long term rental plan?

My goal is to start with a long term rental in the Frederick, Maryland area.

Keep le­arning, take a long-term view.Good luck!

In terms of the building requirements and ordinances, the property is located in Sacramento County, in an unincorporated area of the county and to the best of my knowledge under the jurisdiction of Sacramento County.
