There have been more self made millionaires made from real estate investing then any other type of investing. Anyone can get into real estate investing no matter what your age is, your personal finances, race, education, sex, color or social status.
Consider joining or starting one of the many investment clubs or investment property clubs. You have to be able to think out side the box and be willing to work hard towards your goals without taking setbacks to heart. Make no mistake there will be setbacks. Stay motivated and let nothing stop you on your path to real estate investing success.
Your personal finances will play a big part in which direction you will concentrate your efforts on. If you have a large savings you can withdraw funds from your account to use for your investments (obviously). If you have equity built up in your primary residence you may consider refinancing your mortgage and using the proceeds for investment purposes. You can go after 100% vendor financing in a vendor take-back mortgage, it happens all the time. One of the best ways to get started if you have no money is as a scout or bird dog. A bird dog is someone who finds properties for other investors using none of their own money for a fee, there is an angle for everybody to profit from.
Right now there is an incredible opportunity to make a ton of money investing in foreclosures and pre-foreclosures in the United States and Canada.
Once you have made the decision to get started, what's next? You now need to acquire the knowledge and education that you will need to be successful.
