Well, it's good that you're starting young and have cash to invest. I would suggest looking at a variety of investing opportunities to diversify and to study it as much as you can.

Here are some great books that could help you along the way:

- The Book on Rental Property Investing: How to Create Wealth and Passive Income Through Smart Buy & Hold Real Estate Investing

- How to Invest in Real Estate: The Ultimate Beginner's Guide to Getting Started

And for concise, step-by-step information on the basics of real estate investing, I would recommend this short but helpful guide.
