That is lazy parenting and what you are doing is lazy landholding.

In Boston, MA  a lot of the recent college grads deal with this and need a guarantor (parents, some other family) to sign off on the lease. 2) It's very rare that the tenant will receive their security deposit BEFORE moving into their new place because there are a lot of steps in the process of getting security deposits from the bank > tenant.

My parents use Dish for internet but I would not recommend them either.

Any great self-managed property needs a high-quality photographer, handyman, cleaning crew, along with other property vendors as necessary (pool care, lawn care, pest control, etc.)What tools can I use to automate tasks?

Like anything else in finance, if you have no self-control this is not a good strategy. 

I will be taking a gap year in between high school and college, so I will be staying with my parents. 

That part worked I have 3 Properties by way of family that I have FULL control of.

This years massive increase in valuation opened their eyes and the administration is studying how to control and tax it.As others said, you can borrow against the crypto, but you are going to pay a higher rate and watch for clauses that allow them to call the loan.From the banks perspective, if you are not selling Bitcoin and you have low income, how will you repay the loan?

Personally, I avoid HOAs like the plague because there will always be a bit of an unknown that you cannot control.
