where to start in real estate investing

[Camille Frederick]

Hello everyone, I'm eager  to start investing in real estate,  I'm 21 and wanted to begin my lie and stop living off my parents and hopefully one day soon take care of them . The problem is I have no idea where to begin!!! I learn bits and pieces off the internet and books but Its all confusing to me. I even looked into a couple  mentoring programs. ONE worth $50,000 and another local program worth $25,000. I know I could do it on my own but I do not have the knowledge,money, the  credit "good enough"  to do so.
