Suggestion for a student

I have been interested in real estate for several years now after talking to a few acquaintances that have made millions by investing. The only problem is I don’t know where to start. I am currently entering my last year in college, meaning I have no money with very little income from my part time job. The only thing I have going for me is I have a pretty decent credit score 750+/-. I live in NY where the houses cost anywhere from 450k and way up. My ultimate goal would be acquire properties and rent them. I have been reading up on articles about creative financing but I don’t know what would work with my situation. I know properties around my area are probably out of the question (ad least for right now). Is there anything I can do now or should I wait until I am out of school and have an income.
