I like that your goals are realistic and not insane like some new investors.

@Jadan WilliamsIf I were in your shoes, I’d start by clearly defining my investment goals and identifying target markets with strong job growth, population increases, and development potential.

The best area for you to invest in really depends on your goals and the type of investing you're interested in pursuing.

I currently work with investors building and diversifying their portfolios with Single-family homes over the midsouth/midwest, and I would love to connect with you and share some insight on the turn-key world and swap investing goals.

I find it's very personal, and dependent a lot on your goals, resources, risk tolerance, location, experience, etc.

If you do have to move because of a job, you would be safest (in my opinion, i am not giving legal advice or financial advice), i would sell that property to ensure that you did not just purchase with the goal of moving out early and taking advantage of lower rates and lower down payments for purchasing your home as a primary residence. 

This may suit your investment goals if you're looking to be more passive.

Accountants are very expensive, and may be unnecessary according to your goals.  

Be sure to define your goals clearly.

Once you're ready, create a goal (e.g., "I will buy at least one single-family home, duplex, triplex, or fourplex before the end of 2019") and then do it.
