Advise for college student who is interested in real estate

[Zamokwakhe Cyril Mkhize]

I am a 19 year old and I am doing my second year in college full time. I have no monthly income except from my bursary for meals and stationery. I am looking to start investing in real estate at least two years from now and utilise this time for education and saving money so my question is as a college student how do I raise capital for investing? Which way of real estate investing is suitable for a person like me? Is it even a good idea to invest in real estate as an unemployed student? #AskBP
