Hi guys, if you've been following the threads on my account then you would know that I'm planning to buy a house by the time I turn 18 and rent it out.
In order for me to do that though, I need strong credit history; and what's the best way to do that as a minor? Well obviously to get either a student credit card or to become an authorized user on a credit card. I've been begging my parents to do this for me, but they're immigrants so they're rather skeptical, and they also have 0 financial knowledge so they have no idea what an authorized user can even do. Can anyone help me out so I can appeal to them that I need to build credit history?
