Feeling stuck- Starting out

[Justina R.]

Hi  everyone, 

I have been reading books, blogs, attending webinars for about 3 months now. My goal is to buy my first property by year end. I obtained pre approval for an investment property and talked to a real estate agent to set up automatic alert for properties. But at this point, I feel stuck. I don't have cash set aside for down payment or closing cost. Even if I found a potential good deal, I can't make an offer; not enough cash. 

I don't know what my next step is. I'm not interested in being a wholesaler. I analyze properties on daily basis, but that is all I do at this point. 

Did anyone start an investment career with no cash? 

Thanks
