TAKE ME UNDER YOUR WING!

[Tajma Baker]

I'm looking to get into real estate investing but I have no clue on how to get started & where to get the money to start. I've read stories from successful people that say, basically, just do it. Normally I would but this is something totally different. I know there's risks at first but it'll be even riskier jumping in with both feet and not know what you're doing AT ALL. My question is, are there people out there looking for an apprentice or willing to help someone out that's trying to get into the business? I'm not talking about a program or buying cds and books to learn. I'm looking for someone experienced to follow. I'm new so talk to me like I'm a 10 year old.
:violin: I have mouths to feed and honestly relying on an employer isn't something I want to do for the rest of my life. If I'm to have a headache from working, I'd rather have one trying to run my own business.
Can you help?
