Have a parent or trusted personnel add you as an authorized user so you have some history when you turn 18.

You can have a parent or partner co-sign. Learn and develop skills now. Find deals for people or just be in the game, do free work. You're 17, all you should be doing is amassing all skills. If you can learn, do. 

When you turn 18, immediately get a credit card. 

I would start off with choosing a location that you would enjoy being in for at least a year or two or five. Some good examples that I hear a lot are Tampa FL, Austin TX, Las Vegas NV, Phoenix AZ, Charlotte NC but it's dependent on your own preferences.

Househacking in any of those cities usually work out pretty well. 

Find a good location or pocket within that city and make sure the numbers make sense for you and rinse and repeat every year, living in one unit and then moving out, renting it out and buying another one.

You might have to consider doing conventional 5% down on the following one unless you want to refi since you can only have 1 FHA loan in your name

For that amount, I would just write it up as the cost of doing business.

For any higher amount of damages, I would do what @Mark Miles said and try to get the review first and then pursue it. 

Just politely let them know the situation. I find that just being friendly in your wording goes a long way and doesnt affect your reviews too much

Send me your listing, I'll see if I can send it to a couple investors I know and they can take a look

Agree with the sentiment from everyone else about the market dependency. 

Mine is a smaller tertiary market with the main draw being the university and I get 80% Airbnb and 20% VRBO

Look into furnished finder and see what the average host is charging and how your future property would compare. It could be lucrative but MTR can also be high in vacancy so I recommend doing STR in the mean time (check regulations) between your MTR stays!

Hey Jack, there's a lot of real estate meetups in the area that I suggest you go to. Look them up on meetup app or join some Facebook groups and im sure there's some big real estate meetups in the area!

I invest in Tallahassee, FL. It's good for cash flow but at $100K you're not going to be able to get much. I visit CA a lot too. When I think of less than $100K properties, that's typically midwest. Happy to connect and let you know more about it if you want to chat!

I did this earlier this year and it's great to save an additional $50 a month, not much but it helps over the long term!

FB marketplace and even craigslist would be good options.

Furnished finder and Airbnb are good options if furnished, you can look at 30 day minimums for rooms
