I very much appreciate all the responses! It means a lot!

As far as house hacking goes, I figured it could be something to help me get my foot into the door. I know that you can purchase a home with 5k-10k (or as you say with no down). I am only worried about having a few months reserve saved before doing so, just in case something does not rent, or another problem occurs. (Or is this an unnecessary "road block" in my own mind?)

@Raphael Collazo I've honestly never even thought about that. I just need my real estate licence (and resident and commercial both go under the same licence!..  I did not know that.) 

And now that you do mention it, that makes so much sense for me!  I would be in the industry working with commercial property, learning hands on. I get to meet other brokers, buyers, etc., and make connections. I know certain Commercial Companies also offer courses and mentorship within the company - so that might just be my best bet!

What job field?

Honestly, I'm at square 1... I had hurt my back really bad and was not doing anything other than self studying. Now I'm in a better position to actually do something, and I'm really trying to figure out how to get into this.

I don't personally have any capital. But for a flip, in the future, I know my parents would be able to help me with maybe high 5/low 6 figures. (But if that's does not happen, I'd still like to figure out my own path as well.)

I want to get into Real Estate, specifically Multifamily investing. (although, considering my position,I'm wondering if I should start with single family to four plex range?.. because 12 units at 100k/unit would be 1.2M needing ~400k down which I don't have access to right now.)

I was in university for accounting, hurt my back and then decided that I did not want to pursue accounting. Spent a good amount of time rehabbing myself. So now I'm 24, no equity, no "formal" education. 

I have studied a lot of online courses in various subjects (psychology, marketing, advertising, Tony Robbins, Sam Ovens, etc.). I've been following Grant Cardone and learning a lot from his content. I purchased his Real Estate Course ($10K, no I did not pay anywhere near that but did purchase it from him directly) and studied that - it really helped me understand a lot more! I can underwrite a commercial property. 

Growing up I watched and helped my dad rehab houses. I've been there when he got a house, completely gutted the entire thing and reno'ed it on his own in about 30-40days, everything above code. I can walk most neighbourhoods and look at a house and tell you within 15-20k what it costs without going into detail on it. I know how much various repairs cost. (My dad just does not do that anymore, getting older, works a completely different job, has no interest in doing this again.)

Now I'm considering if I should get more hands on mentoring where I live. I was looking at Rockstar Real Estate (Rockstar Inner Circle) (In Toronto), they have a membership which includes learning and mentoring. But I'm not sure how that would translate or help with my barrier to entry?

Ideally I could get a job in the field and learn and make some money. But honestly, in the right vehicle I'd work for free.
