Buying First House/Investment Property

[Hunter Wiernasz]

I am 14 and would like to start off my life as an adult (18) by ‘house hacking’. I currently have around $10,000 earned by doing jobs invested in the stock market, and am getting more from working with my dad (he hires me to help him flip houses). This is a little less than a 10% down payment for a duplex in my area. Will someone please inform me if this is a good approach, or should I try something different?
