HOUSE HACK
If you're willing to live in one unit and rent the others out, for $8000, you could find a duplex. If you're in a market where you can find a duplex for $150,000, you could put 3.5% down, that's about $8000.
EDUCATION, MARKETING, NETWORKING
You could use $8000 as your marketing money & your learning money. Spend that money on things like reading a bunch of books, Dan and Sunil have 4 books you could start with, or send out letters through Direct Mail Marketing!
FLIPPING
Take the $8000 and try to find a house to either flip or wholesale. Wholesale is like flipping, but you don't do the work. You just flip it to another person who's going to do the work and your charge a small finder's fee.
