What is my first step investing in real estate with little cash?

[Nathaniel Barnes]

I have devoured the content here at BiggerPockets and I know I have been given the tools to step out and do it.

After I have written my business plan what do I do next? Find a mentor? Find a deal?   ????

I’m a late bloomer meaning I am older to the game because I have worked for others all my life and I am finally ready to commit to building wealth for myself. As an older newbie to real estate investing I really would like to fast track my progress as much as possible. What would be a good starting point for someone like me? Would purchasing a program move me along the path to success better than struggling on my own to understand the process?
