Selling house and don't know what to do with my equity

[Ryan Webber]

I am closing on selling my first home in Las Vegas in a week. My plan is to rent for a year and buy again. I have a roomate that will split rent and help me save money for a year.

In the mean time I will inquire about 15-19k from selling my house now.

I want to invest it back in real estate for when I buy another home with it but I don't know what I want to do. Whether I get a townhome or condo which is in my price range. But I want to invest my money and try to get in the game or renting out houses eventually.

What should I do with this fresh start of 19k for a newbie wanting to pursue building a portfolio and renting over time?

Any advice is welcomed!
