How can a college student, with very little money, get started?

I am a college student with only a couple thousand dollars in savings (and I do not have any student loans to pay off), but how could I start getting involved in real estate? I am studying for an engineering degree, so I know I’m not going to be able to put a lot of time and effort into it yet, but any advice on how to begin learning and meeting people is very much appreciated (and hopefully there are others in a similar situation who could learn from this discussion, as well).

@Pride Davis

I do love the response. I would have to get more inside the mind of the seller. Find out what will motivate the seller to take the deal.

I appreciate you giving your insights on this.

Thank You

@Pride Davis Yes I have. I bought my 1st two duplexes with seller financing on contract and the 3rd duplex I bought this year with FHA 30 year fixed loan with 3.5% downpayment. I'm living in my 3rd duplex currently. With FHA, you have to live there for a year.
