Tied to 12 mth lease. Going to start investing. When can I begin?

[Herman Castillo]

We recently moved to Fort Worth from New England. We are renting a home and have a 12 month lease. We've been renting 2 months thus far. We have done enough research on real estate and would like to get started with investing on rental properties. I have about 15K to get started. Should I wait till the end of the lease to pursue rental property investments or should I negotiate with the landlord? I would like to get the ball rolling but need some clarity on how to begin this pursuit. I thank you in advance for your support and feedback.
