17 and want to prepare to get my first rental property

[Tyson Sicat]

Hello my name is Tyson and I turn 18 in May. My main goal for when I am 18 is to obtain my first rental property and house hack. As of right now I work as a social media manager and saving every penny so I can use it as a down payment. I just want to be as prepared as possible and if there is anyone with any tips or suggestions, that would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!
