Is a credit score necessary to start in real estate?

[Tyler Guptill]

I have been trying to find an in on real estate investing for the past 3 years. I don't have any established credit but I do have a credit card. I have heard from many people that having high credit and a good paying job is the only way to invest in real estate but I believe there must be other options. I am getting married next month and everyone thinks my goal of real estate investing is far fetched. What do you guys think?
