Get a Nikon F series (F2 or newer) or a Canon EOS 35mm and get started shooting. Both these cameras have many good used lenses available
I would suggest that you find a job as an assistant with a successful photographer in your area and learn what you can about all the ins and outs of being a pro.
The cameras and lenses you will accumulate while working with a pro will be the tools you eventually use when you go out on your own.
While there is no substitute for a good education at one of the leading photo schools, the skills you learn as an assistant will more can compensate you for your hard work.
