Flipping Houses at age 18

Aidan Cable
Posted

I am 18 years old. My goal is to manage, repair, and sell real estate. My parents want me to go to college and they are paying for it, so I am going to college for Construction Engineering because I think that major would help me the most with building/ flipping houses. 
I am a part time student and a part time worker with a monthly income of only $1200. I’ve got $12k saved. 
What I want to know is, where should I start? Should I continue to save money. At what point would I have enough saved to do a flip on a cheap house? How can I finance a house with no credit? I’d really just like somebody to point me in the right direction because I want to start now.

Find an experienced flipper where you live and partner with him. You will learn a ton and no classroom time  will get you the experience of one deal. 

Good luck and wishing you much future success.
