Should I wait to buy my first property?

I'm going into my senior year of high school and want to get started in real estate as soon as I can. Should I buy a property once I turn 18, or wait until I'm out of college? I'm planning to buy a multifamily unit and rent it out, I could live with my parents while I do so(until I'm out of college). While I'm in college the property could be supporting my education. I've talked to my dad about the idea but he thinks I should wait until I get out to stay focused on school.(Right now I work 30-40 hours a week with straight A's) What should I do? How should I get started?

I believe you should wait tony, my son made the same mistake and his credit became messed up in 2 years due to the the fact that he was so caught on school and didn't have much time to be a good landowner ended up not having any one rent the place and then the property went bankrupt
