Does My Credit Really Matter?

[Manuel Yepez]

I'll be honest, I have yet to read the BP book on investing with no or low money down, but from my experiences it is possible to invest none of your own money; but is that only if your credit is good? I'm very young starting off in this business, so I thought that'd be an advantage but it seems like everyone wants a perfect credit history before even considering me. Even local investors have asked to see my credit. Do I really have to wait until I'm 21+ to invest?
