General Help for This Newbie

[Braeden Hilbish]

Hello,

I am a current student at Ball State University in Muncie, IN. I am married and currently renting an apartment with my wife. We both work part-time and have a substantial amount in savings. The market here in Muncie is super cheap! We would love to buy either a single family or a small multi to get started in out investing journey. The only problem is that obviously, it doesn't really matter if we have enough for a substantial down payment on a house and the means to pay the mortgage because we both work part time and therefore can't qualify for a loan. My question to all of you would be this: If you were in my situation, how would you go about this? should we just wait 1 more year till we get full-time jobs? Are there other options besides getting a co-signer? I am open to whatever criticism there is to offer!  

Thanks in advance,
