The beginner's guide is a wonderful place to start, and might be just what you need. In general the Kosatka is a really good first-purchase because it makes it very easy to grind and afford other stuff.

So initially it would be best not to spend much cash on expensive cars, weapons, etc.. There are many free vehicles that do wonders (try the Elegy RH8, Duke O'Death, and even Bati 801. You'd need a garage but even the cheapest 2-car garage would do just fine just so you could store a personal vehicle. And for weapons the Micro SMG is more than you'd really need at this stage, as it can be used as a drive-by, but try working on conserving ammo and going for headshots.

There are many other properties that you could use for making money. The wiki breaks down the various content from various DLCs throughout the years. But I wouldn't really worry about them just yet. Try enjoying the game at your own pace, see what kind of activities you enjoy, and if possible try making friends along the way. Good luck :)
