I'm 23 years old and married and looking at getting into real estate investing, namely rental properties, on a limited budget.  I have a full-time job as a pastor, and am just looking for a way to invest on the side.   Any suggestions on the best way to start getting into this would be much appreciated, I've been reading around getting some suggestions but would love to hear someone's personal take on the best way to get into rental properties. 

Over the past few years I've been getting a grasp on stocks and mutual funds, but feel like rental properties would be more my style of investing if I were given the option.  I have always felt like real estate is a really solid kind of investment, but have also felt like it is kind of a rich-get-richer type deal where you need a lot of money to initially get into it... Though I feel that there are ways that in my current situation I could get into it if I knew what I was doing.

My current situation is that I have about $2,500 to invest, and on a monthly basis would have about $80 that I could contribute.  It's not a lot, so I understand that I am probably pretty limited, but I feel as if some of the more experienced real estate investors may have some helpful suggestions on how to begin getting into real estate investment.

Thanks to both of you for the feedback!  I will elaborate on my situation now (first time poster, bear with me haha).
