Where to start investing with a small budget?

[Thomas Watson]

I know very little about real estate except location matters and finding a good deal is important.

I would love to invest in something that I don't have to invest too much time on. There is a company called Invest With Roots based in Atlanta where all of your funds go to residential properties. It's an REIT.

Wondering if there are other options out there where I can invest and somebody else will take care of the work for me.
