@Georgia Baker  a nice way to break into the business is to hire on as an assistant to a top producing agent while your taking your RE class's to get you RE license in your state.

Also you can get paid as a transaction coordinator.. busy agents use these folks all the time it really helps you to dig into the nuts and bolts of how transactions work and you get paid.

If you have no means or money then your probably not ready to try to be an investor.. investor infers capital to invest.

Instead of just trading time for someone to abuse your time... get paid and learn about the industry.. you may find your calling in the RE industry as an agent or you may work in it for a few months or a year and think its a terrible job..

I have seen a lot of women come up the ranks in RE sales they are good at it and make a killing.  Think about it who buys houses.... THE WIFE  ... who bonds well with the WIFE mostly other female agents..

Good luck ...

Keep in mind the failure rate for no monie I want to be an investor in RE is about 99% ...

Failure rate for I want to be a RE agent and make money is about 50%...

@James Wise  Jim will tell you the same thing I bet
