Can I get started in real estate investing with $15k?

I currently have $15k cash in my savings and I’d like to get started investing with real estate as soon as I’m capable of doing so. I currently work a full time job in college making $40k a year so I’m pretty able and willing to save money from my paychecks as I’ve been doing until I find the right opportunity.

I’m still living with my parents so I’m able to save a good bit of the money I’m making.

Main thing for me is knowing whether I should just keep saving money to buy a rental property or if I should get an FHA loan and "house hack" or where I should start
