Hold on to your money tightly when making an announcement like that. People will be coming out of the wood works. First step would be to get educated. Figure out which aspect of real estate you want to be involved, which asset class, etc. Spend a lot of time reading books, reading forums such as BP, and listening to podcasts. At some point you'll need to take action but it's not right away.
