Need to get started with investing in real estate but need direction

Hi guys, I've been thinking about investing in real estate for many years now but haven't taken any real significant action. To this day I still do not own a house. Part of my problem is that I'm self-employed in a very difficult industry and the business has a significant amount of debt so I have not been able to qualify for a traditional mortgage due to my debt to income ratio. At this point I just want to get involved in any capacity in a real estate investing project even if it means hammering some nails or sending out letters. Is there anyone who needs extra help on any projects? I will work for free just to get started on this journey. I have lots of experience and skills with marketing, social media, websites, e-commerce and customer service. Thank you for anything guys... I really want to get started.
