Hi, I'm new hear and have a genuine interest in Real Estate. I watch a lot of HGTV LOL. I just graduated with a 2 year degree in Construction Management and am currently working at entry level, not managing anything, just getting my feet wet. My ultimate goal is to be self employeed or bring in good side money while working a regular job. 

My question is, how do I get started? I've read about flipping houses, investing, and whole sale. Ultimately I'm more interested in whole sale as it seems like a faster process with no hassle of dealing with tentants or expensive fixes. What's funny is that I read on these boards how most newbies start out in wholesaling, so I'm definitely newbish. Hopefully not delusional in my ulitmate goal

I don't have any money saved up whatsoever and currently don't make much income for now. Is there anything I can do to get my feet wet? I also work 40 hours a week, so I don't know how doable my situation is.

I hope I'm not being delusional here, but Real Estate has captured my interest seeing as so many people have mentioned it before.

Currently I'm in college pursuing a 2 yr degree in Construction Management and will transfer to get a bachelor's in the same field. I'm also thinking about getting a minors in business. I don't know if construction field will help me much, but it seems like it'll give me the upper hand.

As of now I have no idea what real estate really entitles and no funds, so besides reading what else could help me within this area? My ultimate goal is to make enough where I don't have to work many hours and still live somewhat lavish
