During this economic downturn we'd do well to heed the wisdom of Warren Buffett to “Be fearful when others are greedy, and greedy when others are fearful.” Don't dump all your stocks, and don't jump into a new investment vehicle without doing your due diligence. Just like you shouldn't buy a stock until after you research and understand what they do, their leadership structure, and their performance (among other factors), you also shouldn't start in real estate investing without first understanding WHY real estate is a good fit for YOU personally, and how it aligns with your life/financial goals.
Once you know your motive(s) you can look into different approaches (single or multifamily properties, wholesaling, commercial, flipping, BRRRRing, turn key, etc.)
From there its imperative to establish your real estate team (realtor, accountant, contractor, property manager, etc.).
I do believe now is an excellent time for the wise investor to find some great deals, and there are plenty of people on this platform that can help guide you in the right directions (myself included) as long as they're asking you the right questions.
Best of luck, and don't panic
