Hi @Rica Shaan,

Welcome to BiggerPockets!

First of all, I wouldn't post how much capital you have to invest.  You're just inviting unwanted replies. 

I'm glad to hear that you want to get started in real estate investing.  It's a great time to be building your real estate portfolio.

A good place to start is getting clear on what it is you want to invest in. Single-family homes, small multiunit properties, apartments?  If you're new to investing you may not want to jump into apartments right away.

Are you looking to be an active or passive investor?
