Tips for a 16 year old aspiring investor

[Sawyer Ballard]

I'm 16 years old and I've been researching about real estate investing for the past year and I'm fully committed to it. My goal is to buy my first rental property when I turn 18 and I'm confident that I'm on the right path to do so. If anyone has anything they would like to share that they wish they would've done at my age or what they did that helped them such as finding a mentor or getting a job at a real estate related company to learn, I would love to hear it all. Thanks!

 Sawyer, Have your parents/guardians put your name on there utility bills, phone bill etc. this will build your credit history and when you turn 18 you will have 2 years of consistent payments (as long as your parents/Guardian pay the bills) Most banks will want 2 years of payment history for a mortgage.
