17 Year Old Investor

Hey everyone, I'm new here. For the record I'm currently 17 years old right now and I'm trying to learn as much as possible about real estate so that when I'm 18, I can start with a plan already set. I've been studying real estate since I was 14 years old, I know a little bit here and there. Anyone who could help me out would be great. I'm mostly into building my passive income portfolio. I look forward to meeting all of you.

Well, you can start building your credit by getting a credit card. Initially, you may have to open a savings account with the bank who issues the card (secured), and later on the bank will let it go to unsecured. Fill you car up once a month using the card. Set the money aside to pay the bill immediately so that you are not running up a balance. After six months or so, you will get a credit history and score. This is important because it will teach you discipline which is very important.

On the real estate side of things, just keep doing what you're doing. Read up, ask questions, and keep repeating that process because you will always be learning.
