Is it a bad Idea to start my own house flipping company at 18?

I've read countless books on real estate, listened to lots of different podcast even talked to different mentors and I've tried birddogging for others. But is it a good idea to start at 18 (currently 17) to make my own start up company based around flipping houses?

Hi Adonijah Short ,

Not at all! If you have the means to begin flipping, I say go for it. The earlier you get started, the sooner you begin creating your legacy or whatever your end goal may be.

You will definitely need a mentor. Trust me, you want to avoid costly mistakes and bad decisions. Learn from someone who has the experience to help you reach your goals.

That’s the smart way to begin investing in real estate.
