Unsure how to start

[Liam Bell]

Hello!

My name is Liam and I just graduated college. I have no debt and I have a job starting July 15th with a salary of $110,000 (end of year bonus expected to be 50-100% of salary). I would like to start investing in real estate as soon as possible. I do not know where to start.

I have been talking with mortgage brokers to see about buying a condo in Manhattan. Then, with the end of year bonus I would like to use that as a down payment to buy a single family home near my parents in Atlanta. I would rent this out. 

I don’t really know what I’m doing or where to start. What would you all recommend?
