How should I start?

how should I start out as a real estate investor? I have a 575 credit score with no capital. I an a licensed real estate agent with my license on a holding company. I would like to transition from my full time job to an agent so I can find deals for my clients as well as myself. What should be my first step? I have thought about bankruptcy, this will not hurt my already low credit score and in two years I should have enough money to buy my first home.

@Chris Adams

1. Learn as much as possible about RE

2. Network with other investors, bankers, insurance,realtors etc...

3. Take action..some might be risky, but I learned the most in this area!!

4. Give back..it doesn't always cost money..Time counts!!!

It's not easy and you will have to do some WORK(I enjoy it!!!)...Run if someone tells you otherwise...

Have fun!!!
