Very new to real estate investing, need to know where to start?

[Justin Hudson]

Hello everyone and I really appreciate your help.  So  I am wanting to get into the real estate market and I live in the Washington DC/ Northern Virginia area.  I am looking to start small with maybe a rental or a flip, but I just don't even know how to start.  I don't have a huge amount of money saved, and would prefer to not use any cash if I can.  I would love any advice that would help.  Thanks again in advance.
