Can I buy a home at the age of 17?
Unless you are an emancipated minor, you must be at least 18 to own property. EDIT: You can get financed even with little or bad credit. You just need good income and a low DTI (debt-to-income ratio), which is the percentage of your income that goes toward paying your debts. If your debts are low in relation to your income, and if the numbers all add up well (income, credit score, mortgage loan interest rate, term of loan) so that you can make the required payments without financial strain, you can get financed even if you have little to no credit.
