Young Investing, Is it possible to secure real - estate with no credit

[Genus Powell]

Hello everyone.

I'm a student in the Savannah, Ga area and I'm trying to make my start in home investing. I'm 21 with no credit and trying to find a way to purchase my first property without going through a bank. I wanted to know if anyone has any experience or advice about creative financing and private owner financing?

Also as a college student I believe that renting rooms to students can be profitable if students are screened correctly and the home is well managed. When I start acquiring property I plan on testing testing the waters of student housing. What do you all think?

This is my first forum post so forgive me if I'm coming off as a newbie.
