Can I invest as a college student with 15k?

[Carlos Castillo]

Hello. 

I am a 3rd year college student in Los Angeles. No debt and 15k in the bank. I want to invest in real estate but I am not sure if it is possible. I do have decent credit (~750). However, I do not have a steady source of income i.e. a job. Is it possible for me to start investing in real estate or should I hang the towel here and now?

Just as a side note, I don't really have an interest in flipping homes. I am thinking rentals.
