It depends on what you're willing to do. First, I'd recommend getting to know what different avenues you have such as wholesaling, buy and hold, developing, "house-hack", etc and seeing what you're comfortable with. For particulars, you to invest in the desert areas driving distance to SoCal as you can get into them with 30-40k. Alternatively, you can wholesale and use that amount to start marketing. Best thing you can do, if you're in the learning stage, is to partner with someone that knows and have them teach you. Take a little return (or work for free) while you get mentored and catapult yourself into the game. 

Good luck!
