Advice on where to start

[Miles Dirmann]

Hello, I just graduated college (in 3 yrs) with a finance degree and am finally ready to go all in on real estate investing. The thing is I don't quite know where to start especially in today's economy. I have read a number of bp books and have built up a solid amount of business knowledge especially in marketing as I have helped with a number of marketing oriented projects at my church. Also, I have about $8k in cash and no debt at all!  I'm going to start looking for a few meetups each week to go to and analyze properties daily.. I don't have a job at the moment aside for working at my church on the side. Any thoughts, suggestions, etc.?? Thanks all
