Early stages of investing, looking for advice for beginners

[Kyle R Vreeland]

Hi everybody, I’m a 22 year old looking for general advice to guide me in the right direction. Ive been interested in real estate for some time now and I decided that this is something I’d really want to pursue in the near future or as soon as possible.I currently work full time, and I’m having trouble finding a direction to go financially to fund my first deal. I currently am paying off student debt ($6500) which I feel is holding me back. Is it possible to start investing now or would it be a good idea to wait and pay off my debt first ?! Any advice would be appreciated, thank you !
