The only issue is based on my research once I pay off most of my debts and save up some money I'm not sure where to start.Since I'm not able to save up $10K plus to buy a rental I am looking at for alternative investment strategies to help build up my initial investment (ideally $30K-$40K).  

@Cooper Moran, there are almost as many real estate investing strategies as there are types of people!

In many instances, homebuyers looking to utilize FHA financing cannot even cash flow (after the burnoff period of their homestead ends).What I recommend is looking to a house hacking strategy.

More DSCR lenders do suburban STRs, but some can do rural as well, the best lender for you would really depend on the property details and your long term investing strategy.

Adding keywords related to your investment strategy or market locations can be updated in your settings.

I want to come in and obtain this property through a seller financing strategy to basically buy the property from him, rehab the property, and sell the property for the top ARV value.  

There are a number of strategies, terminology, and market factors to understand.

Set for Life is always a great start to help understand the core of investing strategy, and Real Estate Rookie covers the basics of getting your first property. 

How do I connect with the wholesalers or off-market local agents who can help me find the properties for BRRRR strategy?

Ideally, the properties main use would be STR, but I love multiple exit strategies.
