Can i take a landlord to court for agreeing through text message to pro-rate my rent and not give me the money although not in the legal contract but they confirmed by text message they would? I’d be at a small claims court.

You could, yes.

Yes it would be valid evidence and a judge would likely consider consider it a binding contract if the text indicated an offer and an acceptance. Whether you'd win depends on other facts and circumstances of the situation.

Due to a family situation we are looking to move to a different state. Normally we would sell our current home and buy a new home in our new location.

We are moving from Vegas to Sacramento and we are not sure how long we would stay in the new area. Thoughts?

I'm early in my career, managed to save $30K to invest, and want to get my hands dirty with a rental property without too much risk (e.g. no HML/flipping).

Who is still in denial about a housing correction? The Fed just made another .75% increase. Powell said they won’t stop until inflation is 2%. He also said a recession would be better than the consequences of unchecked inflation. He announced he will bring rates to a “restrictive level” until “the job is done”. He said that labor demand needs to soften (ie: layoffs). He very explicitly said he wants to slash demand and that housing needs a “correction”.
