Should i start now or wait?

So, i have been thinking about investing for the past 2 years now and haven't pulled the trigger yet. I just graduated from college and started my new job, and while i do not like it, it provides me with a good income. The main reason i have not started investing is because i have less than subpar credit and very little money to put down. On top of that i am 20k in debt, not including 30k of student loans. To all of my real estate professionals out there, should i try to start investing now? Or pay off some of my debt, raise my credit and get an FHA loan for a 4 plex? I have been struggling with this decisions for months now. So any insight would be great!

Thanks in advanced!
