Ways to Invest at 17

[Dillon Hutsell]

Currently underage and wanting to get started investing. I'll be 18 in 4 months. Is it possible to get started on buying stocks if so is anytime a good time to buy in. I dont have a lot to work with right now currently have more than 4000 available to me. I already have an emergency fund, roth ira and a 4 yr cd set up. Any ideas on what areas I could invest at 17 or would it be smarter to build up the cash I have till I turn 18.

Also, I plan to enlist in active duty while trying to get a bachelor's degree. I know I'll be able to do stocks but can I do real estate too? Any extra tips or suggestions would be great thanks!
