Ever thought you needed a fortune to get into real estate? Turns out, you can start with just $1,000. Instead of buying a whole house, you can grab a slice of the market through REITs (think: buying stock in buildings) or by pooling cash with others on crowdfunding platforms. The catch? Some options lock up your money for a while, but you get to earn rental income or dividends. Pro tip: Use part of your $1K to learn the ropes before going big! #RealEstate #RealEstateHacks #Investing101
