Best investment with $25k for beginner with full time job

[Kiara Conde]

I am currently working a full time job but I would really like to start dipping my toes into real estate investment to eventually quit my full time job. I am a total beginner and looking to start with $25k capital for an investment next year. What do you all recommend under these circumstances.... buying a rental for some cash flow, buying a house to flip and resell, investing in others who are looking for capital, etc.

I am in my early 30s and no kids so I’m not afraid of a little risk if I’ll end up learning through the process as well.

Appreciate all recommendations!

Thanks!
