I am currently living in rental apartment and, I am looking for best strategy for first investment.  

I feel like i am in this awkward in the middle stage where I still need to work my corporate job, but right on the cusp to make real estate my fulltime job.   

The money partner will provide the money for the down payment, the repairs, the reserves in the account and the $5,000 that goes to me which is a part of my 50% of the profits.2.

If you ever have any questions feel free to reach out and ask I enjoy helping and offering tips and loopholes to help save time and money.

Also as a part time realtor is it even worth it to try and become a realtor in today’s market.

@Evan O'Brien feel free to reach out..PM with your question about TSP loan.

I know it is an especially difficult market to break into as a new investor due to demand and competition, but I feel that it is still my best option.

Connect with other investors, agents, and property managers to get a feel for the area and learn from their experiences.Are you thinking about house hacking or just straight-up rentals for now?

If the raw land is worth $1.4M–$2.03M as you mentioned, you’ll want to make sure there’s enough spread for an investor to feel comfortable, especially if they’ll need to front construction costs.

Once you feel you've built a strong team with your first property and have solid systems in place, I would then start buying more aggressively and taking on bigger projects.
