quick question

Hi,

I'm a 17 year old high school student with a couple of questions regarding property.

Over the past few months, ive been following property both online , and in the papers and was curious -

when i turn 18 , am i able to take out a loan?

my income would be pretty low, as i would also be at uni.

also , would i be able to take out a loan without the backing of my parents?

I'm currently looking at an investment property in the city, small - with decent returns as an investment property - looking at borrowing around $100,000.

Thanks in advance,
