I'm just starting to learn and I'm desperate for any advice.

[Nathan Nolan]

High, I'm 22 and only have fair credit. My dream is to invest in real estate and make money and be financially independent. I know its possible and I'm determined I WILL SUCCEED. I just dont know how yet, I'll try until I find out on my own if I have to but I'd like to cut that time in half. If you were in my position with only $5,000 to use as a downpayment and only fair credit, what steps would you take to make as much money as possible in as little time as possible? I need to make enough money so that I can start acquiring cash flow properties but how can with only $5,000? I know I'm capable but I dont know how to get the information I need to get my start. Im desperate for advice and guidance, I will greatly appreciate anything I can get, thanks!
