18 year old and trying to get taken seriously

[Jaren Smith]

Hello I am 18 years old and trying to get started in real estate!! I’m trying to figure out how to get hard money investors and private money investors to take me seriously as an investor at such a young age. My first property I’m planning on paying for myself by using an fha loan after that I want to use the brrrr strategy to build my portfolio quickly and effectively but that isn’t possible without using other people’s money. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can show them my age is a strength and not a weakness??
