Hey BP Community,We all know real estate investing requires money, but not everyone starts with deep pockets.

There are several options out there to get you started.

Yes, I totally agree that oftentimes the best thing you can do is start and learn as you go!

if you buy a random property on Zillow and turn it over to people you have never met, you will very likely lose money, get frustrated, and set yourself back.if you're serious i'd pick a market and plan on making several trips there. 

Funny enough, I was going to suggest you move out of SF due to the high cost ;-) I'd suggest going down the SF condo route to start as financing for commercial units is a lot more difficult than residential properties.

If you can get to 20%, you start to see small interest rate reductions. 

I'm not really sure how to start still.

My own podcast episode on here starts off essentially describing losing 6 figures on new construction.

When one machine goes down you start losing money in a small way. 

Just start talking to an AI engine as though it was a mentor.
