Hey man, hope this gets to the right people.
Real estate is my vehicle of choice. I hit my 3 year anniversary in real estate 8 days ago.
I've been self employed 60-70% of this time. But sometimes it gets tough.
If you have absolutely no savings at all.. I'd say a job is your best option, but still start learning about real estate.
Full time on your job, part time on your business.. full time making a living, part time on making a life.. until you can work on your business full time.
Wholesaling is how I got into the business. I called We Buy Houses signs all over town and on craigslist, asking to work for free. Nobody wanted to help me. Eventually a shark got ahold of me and hired me for $1600 per month. Which was great. His system taught me the city, how to evaluate a house, I got to walk through 30-50 houses.. and my bills were paid. Eventually I got tired of making only $1600-$2500 per month. I went out on my own.
Did my own marketing with the $2000 I had in savings.. and doubled it within 30 days. Now I had $4000. Bought a mobile home for $3200, sold it for $4200.. put $1000 back into marketing.. did another deal, made $2k.. and eventually found a great deal.. guy was asking $28,000.. I talked with him and cared about his situation.. found out how much money he needed and what for, and told him I'd take care of all his delinquent taxes and closing costs and everything.. helped him sell his burnt down house, move on from the situation.. and I made $6800, and met a great investor that went on to mentor me a little.. I made him 10s of thousands of dollars selling him my first few houses, but he helped me meet more people and grow my business. And it goes on from there.
DO NOT buy any crazy expensive courses or mentoring.. instead.. make friends. Go to your local real estate investor association meeting and be a sponge. Ask TONS of questions.. Get a job, be tight, no luxuries or Facebook.
Go to Amazon and read the ultimate real estate blueprint by Sean Terry. It's free. PM me when you're done reading it if you'd like. Read it first.
Here's a few recent checks of mine:
