Advise on getting started

I want to invest in real estate, but I don’t have any extra money. I’m thinking of selling life insurance part time to save money or should I just put all my focus on real estate? Thoughts/advise

Thanks

I'm 100% on board with @Michael Kistner. I read every day on here that people have heard that it's not a good idea to get your license and invest. That's a ridiculous notion, I have my license and regret not doing it years ago. There are so many opportunities that come your way that you'd never have seen without a license. You meet people, get calls and leads on deals before the hit the MLS, you can look at any property you want and you can negotiate directly the the listing agent or seller. What difference does it make if you have to disclose that you are an agent? On top of that, find me another side job that you can make $15K in 20 hours work in your spare time over a couple weeks. That's real money- down payment money. Good luck!
