Classic Question, New to Me

[Trace Carson]

Hello again everyone! 

My predicament: I have a very, very small amount of capital to invest in real estate and deals and so forth (under $1500). I'm sure many new investors have this problem as well. 

My question: does anyone have any personal experiences or advice about growing this smaller amount into something that could eventually be a good size down payment?

All I can think of so far is trying to be part of an investment being done by someone with more capital than me, and then taking a small percent of the profits if there are any. My other thought is to bring an investor a deal, and hope they want to partner with me on it. 

I honestly have no idea, other than waiting about two years and saving more, how to go about growing my small amount of money through investing. Any help is appreciated, and if this isn't actually possible and I need to take a different path please let me know! 

Thank you.
