What can I do with $5,000 Dollars?

[Makala Lee-Norwood]

Hello All,

My name is Makala and I am very eager to buy my first property. I have spent months trying to gather as much information as possible, but it seems as though the learning for Real Estate is never ending, which is wonderful. I currently have $5,000 to work with as a start and was wondering if it is even possible to do anything with such a low number? Investing the the Bay Area is so expensive, should I consider looking out of state?
