Getting into Real Estate when you're unemployed

[Derik S.]

Looking to get started in real estate, but the only income I have received is a $20 my mom gives me from time to time. Lack of money, investing in real estate, something doesn't compute correctly here. As some here know, I'm looking to get into the buy and hold strategy (even though I have looked into wholesaling, to keep my options open) with multi family properties. Any money down I would be using would be coming from my dad. How does someone with no income enter into the real estate market, and not become homeless in the process?
