$8,000 dollars to invest and I don't know where to start

[Matt Hendrickson]

I'm a new guy here, I'm a college student and looking to get into real estate. I'm studying construction management and feel this is a passion of mine. I have an investor and $8,000 -$10,000 dollars to invest. What price range should I be looking for? I want to cash flow and rent. Should I mess with a fix up property? What type of property would be best?
