Anyone have experience balancing school and buying property?

I’m going back to school full time in May, it’s 3 years cumulative so I won’t be working. I’ve been doing my research, studying, and have saved enough to place a down payment on a property I’ve been looking at. I’m just asking if anyone has experience juggling full time school and buying their first property? Any advice? Location is in Chicago, IL.

@Aj Antony - That is awesome, good for you.  What are you studying?

I can not claim to be smart enough to have started real estate when I was back in school haha, but I am sure I might be able to relate since sometimes it feels like I have multiple full-time jobs haha.

I just try to focus on what I am doing during the moment and then switch gears when I need to.  Focus is key.

Lastly, where at in Chicago are you looking to buy?  I am in Bucktown so let me know how I can help.
