What’s my option for investing in properties without buying.

Hey guys/girls,

I’m not in a situation right now where I can use leverage. I’m wondering if there’s a way to take small amounts of money (around $1000) to invest in real estate earning dividends and capital gains. I currently invest in peer to peer lending but there isn’t anything good on the market at the moment, therefore I’m looking elsewhere. What is similar to this in real estate?
