Any Suggestions?

First off i just want to say hello to the BiggerPockets community and I'm excited to be apart of this great organization!  I am very new to this an hope to get starting in investing on me own very soon. I am currently 24 years old and finishing up college this year. My mother was very sick and i put alot of her medical bills on my credit cards which damaged it quite a bit. My credit score is roughly 404 and I'm in the middle of talking to a financial adviser to improve it.   I don't have a huge income as to being a broke college student so i was wondering what is the best way for me to get started with real estate? I know that it will take time but i just wanted to do everything i can do in the mean time to prepare for my first investment. Thank you!
