20k in saving. Go all out or save?

[Kavya Wadhawan]

Hello all

I am fairly new to the whole idea of real estate investing. I graduated from grad school last year and have been working for a year. I have saved 25k since I stated working. However I am not sure if I should invest the money in real estate as the mortgage rates are so low or save the money for emergency with the whole COVID situation. I am looking to invest either in Denver CO or Austin TX. 

What are your thoughts?
