investing

[Stannetta Walker]

I want to start investing in real estate. But I don't have a ton of money. What would you suggest to someone who want to start a business in investing in real estate? I went to a three day training course with fortune builder this pass weekend but I couldn't afford the 35k for the mastery course. I keep hearing them say you can invest with no money. Buy how is my question ? Were do I start? Thanks
