How would you start your investment career in my situation?

I'm broke as a joke. I'm a full time College student living off food stamps, pell grants, and partially my mom. I can maybe get $1,000 saved up in like... I'm not sure, but a long time, months. I don't have a job because I'm trying to focus purely on school, and I have about $5 in my bank account.

Besides wholesaling, what and how would you get into real estate investing in my situation? Like, rehabbing, renting, etc...

If you would be so kind point me in a direction, that would help me tons.

-Manuel

Wholesaling is a great way to get started in REI, especially with no money and no credit. That's what I would do if I was back in college.
