Tell me about how to invest in real estate?   What do I need?  I am new and I only have $10,000 in savings...   and I have a friend who has 500,000 in equity.  Investing in real estate as opposed to buying your own home can take many different approaches.  To start with though, you should educate yourself by reading some of the many books available on real estate investment and there are many!  There are also many RE courses offered by local educators, such as, Ozzie Jurock.  I’ve taken several of his courses and would highly  recommend them.  Take the opportunity to attend some of the free lectures by out-of-town seminar leaders.  Whether you have $10,000 or $500,000, there is usually a way to invest in real estate. Through partnerships or partial ownership arrangements, always work with a licensed realtor or a RE lawyer before you put up your money.
