I know a lot of investors have done very well in Peirce County but I just haven't learned or know enough about that market to make an investment there.Washington state properties are expensive and can be difficult to make breakeven let alone cash flow at this moment due to the combination of high prices and interest rates. 

I am an agent and investor in the East Texas area.

Though many investors bend the rules and possibly don't get caught, you have the financial situation to do it correctly.

As all the investors know, the Killeen rental market depends heavily on the military PCS cycle and I'm curious if their is anything else impacting the rental market there?

I'm an agent and investor in Sacramento.

Have never missed a payment to investors.

I own a wellness facility, but also invest in real estate, and help investors.

I've got about 7k in an emergency savings account.I am in the process of getting several mortgage pre-approvals to compare fees and get an idea of how much home I can realistically afford.I have yet to find a buyer's agent/investor to help me identify potential homes but will start on that shortly.Ideally, I would like to buy a single family home.

I suppose they would be able to help me figure it out but I’m still trying to determine what is the best way to fund something like this and would it be better to sell off the entire purchase once split into separate parcels or is there a way to structure a deal as to where I could sell off some of the land to repay the loan/investors and also retain a portion of it to develop with my own short term rentals.

Mark, since you're an inexperienced investor, I would be very cautious about borrowing against the roof over your head.
