I am a full-time student and working part-time as a personal trainer and I know real estate is going to the tool to build my wealth over many years to come. I'm located in the bay area so there really isn't a thing I can do with this kind of money and I am open to looking at deals in a much different geographical area as long as the deal is right. Any tips on what I should be doing? Certain areas, what I be doing while in school to advance my knowledge/experience in the field, just keep on saving? Anything helps, thanks so much guys.

What to do with $5000? Nothing. You will need that money to finish school, car repair, or pay your deductible on an insurance claim. Get as much free education on real estate investing as you can through podcasts, youtube, etc. Make connections that may help you syndicate in the future. @Douglas Krofcheck great advice.
