Buying a Home in Grad School

[Ashleigh Evans]

Hi everyone! 

I would like to buy a multi family home while I am a grad student. I am transitioning out of active duty service and will hopefully be starting grad school next year. 

Of course, I'd prefer to House than rent for 3 years. I'm just not sure what the best approach to secure funding is. I currently have a personal residence converted to a rental with a VA loan SFH and another SFH that I bought With a tax lien, so I own it free and clear. I'm not sure what work-study is like in graduate nursing school, so I'm not sure if I'll have W-2 employment.

I’m still pretty new to RE, especially when it comes to property acquisition, so I’m not entirely comfortable with private lenders and hard lenders, etc. Just trying to learn what options I have available to me. Thanks!
