Building credit.

[Rich Hupper]

Hello everyone! I am a HUGE noob to real estate, but I have always wanted to be in business for myself. Tell me if I am wrong but the first step buying a property is to have a decent job, and start tucking money away. Then I suppose I need to start developing good credit. What would be a good way to do this as a part-time worker and student. Then I am guessing I need to continue reading this forum.... haha.
What sum of cash should I initially have to buy my first property?
Thanks for reading
and take care out there everyone. Good luck with your future en devours.
