How would you use $1k - $5k to start investing in Real Property/Estate

[Konnea Mcandrew]

I am under the impression that at a capital amount ($1k - $5k) this low, one is only able to possibly purchase tax liens/deeds.

However, I see YouTube ads of investors who state that $1k in a rural area perhaps, could purchase you a multi-family unit (i.e. duplex) that you may have to live in due to the loan requirements (i.e. rural development loans)

What are you guys thoughts? I have no credit available and $5k cash.

Does anybody know how to invest in real estate without debt products and alternative financing (i.e. subject to, wholesaling, REITs)
