Atlanta Investors I need your help! What should I do next?

[Yaneph Maxwell]

I recently purchased my primary residence in Atlanta for $255k. I would like to begin investing in real estate. Should I use my liquid to renovate my home to house hack or should I use it to purchase another property?  The home next me was recently renovated and is now listed for $399k. Should I hold my cash and use a renovation loan? I have excellent credit. I just don't know what I should do. I need a mentor. Atlanta investors I need your help.
