Best investment for 1st time investor w some cash to burn

[Garrett Binder]

Brand new investor wanting to get started building wealth in real estate. Let's say I have $30k more or less to invest and my goal is to create passive income (around $1500/monthly) and become a millionaire in under 10 yrs strictly with my RE investments. After reading Brandon's book, "How to Invest in Real Estate" I am more confused now than when I started simply due to the number of different types of investments one could make. What advice would you give me?  Thanks!
