Sounds as if with your particular contractor/situation you kept what appears to be a guy that knows his stuff but is horrible at the logistically/planning phases of his business.

While I *technically* cannot purchase a house until after my graduation date, I have a lot of concerns over the logistics of moving down there without a place to move in to.

I think you would be wise to locate a well versed fannie mae direct lender and talk through the logistics of who is on title and how the title of your side gets transferred to avoid any seasoning on the refinance.
