Best way to get started with little money or credit

[Zach Sikes]

Hey guys, I just wanted to start out by saying I love the wealth of info BP provides.

I'm a young Realtor in Edmond, OK (northern suburb of OKC). I just finished my first year of selling real estate, but I became a Realtor to learn the market so I could invest. I'm 24, and I know that there is not going to be any social security left for me (#ponzischeme). I've seen first hand how well investing in real estate can pay off, but it seems you have to have money to make money. What's the best way to start?

I'd eventually like to own enough rentals so that I can hire someone to manage them while they are still providing passive income.
