Is it possible? The thought of buying with a short time frame.

[Paul Luna]

Our rental rates are going up significantly by the beginning of April so we have decided to move and find cheaper rentals. We are moving to Colorado at the end of the year. I brought up, to my girlfriend, the thought of buying instead of renting. Is this possible with the time frame I have? If so I'm completely confused on financing a property. How do you do it? Do people finance more than it's worth if they want to brrrr the property? Is what i am thinking even possible? If so how can i make it happen, or is it better to wait till we move. I'm worried though when we move we wont have 2 years of income. It is putting me in a state of analysis paralysis. Any thoughts and suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks BP fam!
