How do I start in real estate investment?

[Cherno Bah]

Hello! I am Cherno S. Bah, from the Gambia. I graduated High School last year and am currently studying Law in the University. I have been reading books on financial education and investment. However, because of the impact the books had on me, I decided to focus my energy and attention on Real Estate investment, in residential rental properties as my ticket to financial freedom and investment. Also, I have been reading great books written by members of the Biggerpockets Forum, especially Brandon Turner and David Green (thank you guys!) and as a result of that, I was able to come across the Biggerpockets Forum. I am really passionate about real estate investment and I am ready to put in the hard work.

Therefore, I actually need some advice and ideas on how to start this journey, though I am not living in America and I am aware that some of you might not know the place called Gambia. I need help please.
