College student on track to buy 1st property... dilemma

[Jeanysha Jean-Baptiste]

Hi everyone. I am a college student who was on track to purchasing my first investment property (great credit score and savings). I was told by a mortgage lender than as a student I would be eligible if I’ve worked at my job for at least 1 year since I am a student. However, I was recently laid off after 6 months and I’m not sure if I am still eligible to purchase a property by August as I had planned. Any suggestions or recommendations???
