Two inital thoughts:
First, mortgages are not so easy to come by these days. You may need more of a down payment.
Second, I remember what I was like at 18 and I can say owning a house would not have been a good idea for me. We own one now and it's a big responsibility. It consumes a lot of time and a lot of money. There's probably other things you will be focused on at 18.
Just my thoughts.
