Will I qualify for a mortgage??

Hey guys, I'm Jefferson, I'm 19 years old, Ive been looking into real estate and I really want to start investing, however I don't have enough money to buy a 800k house with straight cash, I'm obviously going to need to get a mortgage, however I've not even had a credit card for more than a year, its around the 7-9 month range, I've never missed a payment, but I feel lenders prefer history, along with that, i work retail, I've only had this job around the same length as my credit card, I do have the money for a downpayment of at least 50-80k, my question is if I'm even able to get a mortgage, I may have the money, but I don't think that's everything lenders care about, any thoughts? anyone I should talk to? Im located in Ontario if anyone knows anyone I'm able to talk to, thx!!

Try mortgage brokers rather than chartered banks.  They may have some lenders that would approve you. 

Good. Luck
