High cost market with little to no money, how do you start?

[James Lindsey]

Most of what I have seen and read on bigger pockets has involved people with money from someplace like California moving/investing in a place like the Midwest where your money goes further or people from a market like the Midwest staying in the Midwest. I have yet to see anyone with a low income become a success in a market such as San Francisco, California or Austin, TX. Has anyone here done this? Started with little to nothing and made something of yourself in real estate in an over priced market like Austin, TX? If so how does one with little experience and no reputation go about doing that?
