Looking for the right opportunity

[Preston Duron]

Hello. I am new to real estate investing. My wife and I bought a home in Las Vegas 6 years back and the house sold for more than double what we owed. We figured we wanted to invest the capital instead of blowing it on the next new thing. I've done my research, contacted wholesalers, gone to tax deed auctions. But I'm still hesitant. 100,000 is a lot of money to invest and possibly lose. We are just looking for one really good opportunity or multiple small ones. Any advise on how someone would go about starting new with that amount in real estate?
