College Graduate Looking to get into Real Estate

[Samuel Pascal]

Hello BP Community,

I am here today to seek advise. I graduated college back in 2015 and left with debt of $48,000. Doesn't sound too bad really. I was able to learn financial intelligence through books and common sense.  I currently work for a coffee trading company and make a crummy 35k a year in NYC, does not really do anything for me. I became extremely interested in real estate because I got tired of working a 9-5 job, and seeing my future becoming a desk job. Do you have any tips for someone that only makes 35k is paying tuition and is trying to get into real estate? is it even possible? I really do not want to lose hope because i have family and mentors telling me i basically have to be 40 years old and have accumulated some money to do real estate. Thank you for your time, and comments.
