Be Patient or Figure Out a Creative Strategy?

[Patrick Wheeler]

Hey Everyone,

I'm attempting to start investing, but am possibly hitting an early roadblock. Recently I went through the process of trying to get pre-approved. Ultimately I was told that I would need to have a co-signer as a result of only working part time at the moment (I am starting a full time job in early October).

A possible solution that I am considering is having my friend/potential partner go through the same process to qualify for a mortgage, since he has had a stable, full time job for some time now. He has already shown willingness to do so, therefore I am wondering whether this may be the best route to take, or, should I be patient, continue to learn/network and revisit my own situation after I start the full time job in October.

Trying to find a balance between patience and looking into creative strategies to get started.

Any advice is always appreciated and let me know if more information is needed to understand the situation.
