Hey junior, I am also from san jose and hoping to start into real estate investing OOS as well, but I'm still trying to learn the beginning steps. I am only 21 and I only have about 8k personal cash and another 5-7k that i can borrow from a friend. What do you recommend , or what tips do you have for a beginner trying to get into it from scratch from the bay area. I keep getting alot of negative feedback from my peers saying that I don't have enough money to even get started into anything like that, would you agree ? if so, what should be my first steps to jumping into the real estate investing game? Thanks !

Hey BP members! My name is Richard, I'm 21 years old with about 8-20 k of money I could use as of now for investing( I don't make that much yet), I am in the process of getting my real estate license , and I am from the bay area.I am new to using bigger pockets, however I have been listening to podcasts, studying, and reading articles for some time now. what would you all suggest for a new person like me hoping to start their jounry into real estate investing? I hope to use the BRRRR strategy however the prices in the bay area are quite high and I don't make a whole lot of money as of now. I have considered OOS investing however I am still looking into that and if that may be a better option for me. I really want to learn as much as I can on here and hopefully connect with some people that may live in California/bay area as well.
