Thank you all for you advice it is appreciated. I have no real estate experience just beginning to read some books. I know that real estate investing is what I`d like to do in the future. Yes, not having money is a great hinderance at this time. As for JV partnerships I would be like a 1st...

I would like to invest in real estate but don`t have much to invest only about $5000 saved at this time that I can use. Don`t want to go into joint venture partnerships. What can I do to finance a first time investment?
