TAKE ME UNDER YOUR WING!

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?

My advice would be is to GET EDUCATED with the best knowledge around.
Education doesnt cost, it pays!

Once you are educated enough, start off wholesaling in real estate. Its not that complicated and its the fastest way to make money. I also suggest that you wouldnt start investing in real estate if you dont have a nice cash flow business....my personal opinion.

Even though you dont have to use your money or credit when investing...you just need to know what you are doing.

Much success!
