New Graduate, anxious to invest...How?

[fts7185]

I have recently graduated and found myself a good paying job allowing me to save roughly 20K in the past year. I am realizing that it might be smart to talk to a financial adviser about how to allocate my money in some good investments (property, stocks, 401K) My question is: How do I find a local financial adviser that will help me be a smart healthy investor?

I guess from your spelling of realize and your reference to 401K (retirement plans) that you are in the States. This is a UK site so whilst hopefully someone here may be able to help, you will have more luck on a US site
