Btw, keep in mind that if you really want to get going in real estate with no money, you're going to have to work HARD...if you're not prepared to put in a lot of hours, deal with a lot of rejection and disappointment and do things that are out of your comfort zone, you probably won't succeed without money.But, if you're willing to deal with those things, it can be done.
