Looking for Advice

[Michael Wegener]

Hello all, my name is Mike. I am looking for a way to get into real estate investing. This is something I have been wanting to do for a long time. I have been reading everything available on every topic...books, blogs, etc. This website is amazing and full of discussions and advice on everything imaginable. 

My main question is about the best way to get started without having a lot of money saved.    I am not in debt, I just don't have a lot saved. I am in a unique situation where now would be the best time for me to go for it.  I recently moved back to St. Louis and I am a teacher. I will be getting married in a little over a year.  What I want, more than anything is to be in business for myself.  I would like to use this next year to start building my business before getting married. My school year ends in a month and I will continue getting paid for two months beyond that while not working the summer. That would give me a chance to do this full time while having a paycheck as well.

I would love to know how many of you got a start without having a lot saved and at what point you decided to just go for it.  I figure at no time will I feel fully prepared and educated and just need to take action.

Thanks you for your time and advice!

Mike
