Finding financing to start investing

[Faris Yaghmour]

Hello- 

I reside in the UK, and I want to start investing in Real Estate. I have heard that the legal aspect of getting finance from private investors might be complex. 

I am thinking of either going through an online funding platform or advertising the opportunity or using crowdfunding.

Which would you advise me to start with.

Note that I am excluding taking a loan here because I am only 18 and in university, all banks said they wouldn't lend to me.

Thanks!
