Getting started while in college

[Kobey Heberling]

Hello everyone, just to give some proper context about myself. I am currently serving in the National Guard, while also attending college at the same time. I was looking to move out of state and start a new life in a new city while house hacking in the spring/summer of 2022. Has anyone attended full time school, worked and house hacked all at the same time? Am i destined to overwork myself?  I would like the prospective  and/ or advice of people in similar situations here. I don't want to sacrifice one  for the other ideally. Thanks

Hey Kobey, thank you for your service in the National Guard! 

From my own experience, when I was in college I was working 20-25 hours, playing football, and taking night classes one night a week for 4 hours all while having a newborn baby my final year. It was pretty exhausting but definitely worth it and I wouldn't have had it any other way. Everything you do now will set you up for the future. 

Bite off more then you can chew and figure out how to chew it! You'll learn a ton and be better for it. 

If there are any specific financing questions you have feel free to message me as I am a lender.
