Refinance student loan or apply for first home mortgage?
Hello everyone. Like most Americans I have serious student loan debt. I also want to do my first house hack. I know each one of these ideas will put a hit on my credit report. I am unsure which would be better off to apply for first (mortgage for a property or refinance school loan) as the first hit will affect the second. If I apply for them close enough together I think it shouldn't do too much damage to my credit report. Any suggestions?
