In Florida, Teen killed in motorcycle accident  ( highly suspect that his plan to claim on insurance went awry and strong prescription painkillers involved).Single person occupancy and he was the only person on lease.He was in the midst of moving out, but left behind starving animals, drug paraphernalia, junk.Now multiple strangers are driving around and selling off his 6 vehicles and have been staying in the house after his death. 

@Ola DantisThis was my first attempt to express an opinion here in the forums about why it's probably not a good idea to get into real estate in your teens.

Being logical, one shouldn't rent to obese people because they are most likely to have medical problems and file for bankruptcy.

I have been interested in investing since my teen years and have read a lot over the years about it but have never put anything into action.

If anyone would care to elaborate.We're targeting low to mid-teens all in IRR (5 year holding period).

alot of this I think would be determined on personal goals of yourself and family followed by goals of your future for example I bought my first house 2 years ago small little 3 bed 1 bath thought great started now i have 1 5 year old terror I already see the drama of a girl in teens sharing a bath room -_- I would give ANYTHING to go back 2 years and buy a duplex "but I cant" sooo I now have great sweat equity built into my home and will be taking a heloc out on it to do my first deal.

The goal of a MF sponsor/syndicator (typically) is to return their investor's money within 5 years and deliver IRRs in the north teens or low 20's if you're lucky.

Hypothetically, if I had a deal that I wanted to put in front of a pool of investors, that underwrote to a mid teen CoC and above 20% IRR, however requires only a small equity slug - does anyone have any advice on finding an audience with those yield requirements?

I believe growing up in a family of woodworkers and handymen has prepared me for these challenges, as I've worked on many houses and projects before and helped build a rather gorgeous 3000 sq/ft log cabin starting from foundation up as a young teen.

Be aware of "teen brain" (age 15 - 25).
