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 a $25k investment next year. What do you all recommend under my circumstances... buying a rental for some cash flow, buying a home to flip and resell, investing my money in others who are looking for capital, etc

Would love to hear your recommendations!

Thanks!
