Investing Beginner Help

[Luther Kyrin Creecy]

Is it possible for a novice with no money (less than $1,000) to somehow get started in REI in NY? I'm trying to save but i'm not sure how much I should save towards. I'm not sure if I should start looking into wholesaling or house hacking to get started first before moving onto rental properties. I have people that are counting on me and I desperately need to get out of my housing situation. Trying to find a local REIA meeting but so far have found no luck. I'm likely just not looking in the right places. Any advice helps!

I'm also looking into relocating to FL eventually.

BP is a great place to find information from and to talk to other investors around the world. I'm thankful I found it. Aside from my own ambition and passion for this industry, you all inspire me!
