Full time college student and part time military. I have not had a full time job for almost a year. Will banks approve me for a loan. I want to buy a house but not sure if I will get approved. What steps should I take and what would you recommend? Credit score is in great shape and debt to income ratio is also on a excellent scale.

@Account Closed- you will need to have some income / employment history to be approved by a lender ...you say your debt/ income is excellent - what income are you using for this calculation ....I would recommend getting in touch with a local lender and seeing if you can be pre approved for a hypotehtical scenario ..this process is free
