How can you get started if you have BAD CREDIT?

[Richard]

I have wanted to be a real estate investor for the past 7 years, but due to my credit situation I'm having a hard time breaking into the business. Is there a way for a person who has bad credit to make money? If so, please point me in the right direction. Thanks

That's the bad thing in this country, if you have bad credit you're like already doomed. To answer your question, of course there are, but at none in the same industry i suppose.
