How to get started in rental property?

[Daniel Gallegos]

I am 24 years old, my monthly income is around $2,000 (after tax) , and currently have saved around $230.00. My question is where and how would I considering I really have no knowledge on real estate investing get started? My plan as of today is to work as much as I can in a year while saving as much also then get started investing. But I do not believe in beginners luck so I am hoping that with the knowledge I can learn here that I can have a clear understanding of what is going to take to get started. Any help or advice would be appreciated and I also accept criticism for as long as it is constructive. Thanks in advance to all that help me get started investing in real estate. (I think is important to note that I am interested in rental property/apartment buildings not family homes).
