Investing with little to no money.

Hello I am new to the concept of real estate investing and I was wondering if there is a way of getting into it real estate with no money? I've heard of stories of people finding someone to help them by going to different realtors and brokers but how viable is that really and should I just work my butt off to save up the money to buy my first house house. I live in Branson, MO but from my research I am more interested in the houses in Springfield so if anyone is nearby and has any suggestions let me know.
