newbie here from Ct

[Jennifer Proulx]

hi my name is Jennifer. I'm new to this aite. I attended a fortunebuilder conference and loved it, though it was great.....till yesterday. A person from there organization told me I didn't have a investor mindset because I told them I didn't feel OK with charging 5000.00 on my credit card for training. I don't know anything yet regarding the business except attending a three day event. Personally not enough to give my credit card for monthly payment for a few years. Has anyone had no money when they start? And is there help to get money? I learned about hard money lenders and cash buyers/ is this safe to do? I don't have any asset or capital. I rent and bring in about 20,000 yrly

Help.......???? not feeling hopeful

@Jennifer Proulx Welcome to BP! You've come to the right place.  I'll let others chime in but I think you made a good choice by not spending the $5k.  You can learn a ton from this website.  

Start here: http://www.biggerpockets.com/real-estate-investing

Then listen to the podcasts and start asking questions when you have them. No need to not feel hopeful.  Just take your time to learn and you'll get on the right track.

Good luck!
