Hey @Divine Nasikpo

If you have limited cash or assets, there are still ways to start earning in real estate:

1. Wholesaling: While there are mixed opinions, wholesaling can be done with minimal money. You find distressed properties and sell the contracts to investors for a fee.

2. Partnering: Partner with investors who have capital. You can contribute by finding deals or managing properties in exchange for a share of the profits.

3. Lease Options: Control properties without owning them by renting with an option to buy, and potentially sublease for profit.

4. Owner Financing: Buy properties directly from sellers willing to finance, bypassing traditional lenders and often requiring less upfront money.

5. REIGs: Join real estate investment groups to pool funds with others for property investments.

For a more hands-off approach, investing in turnkey properties in growing markets with minimal upfront investment would be ideal (like in the Southeast and Midwest of the country). These properties are tenant-ready properties and support long-term growth. 

It’s possible to start small, build experience, and scale over time. That is what our team at Rent to Retirement has been helping investors to do for a decade now with BP. I'm happy to answer any questions you have about analyzing markets or getting started. Most importantly, choose a market that aligns with your goals!

Best of luck!
