I am a recent college graduate and I am looking to pay down my student loans and saving up for my first house hack.

Since I just graduated college, work has been spotty so my record of income doesn’t fit their requirements.

Therefore, they not only don't leverage a poor listing, but they also don't even have an interest in it at all.For a buyer (as well as for most buyer agents looking for their clients) any listing that looks nice and meets their budget, neighborhood, school, etc. would strike their interest and they will submit an offer.

Has to do something with their generally high income and potentially high school loans as I vaguely recall.. 

My ideal scenario (if I could go back to when I graduated college and do things again) would be to buy a new property for 5% down, live in it for a year while renting rooms to friends and fixing it up, then buy a new property for 5% down after that year is up.

However, I’ve lived in Jersey my entire life, Morris County specifically, and many of my friends are graduating college looking for places to rent/buy.

I have been a professional baseball player ever since I was drafted out of high school so all my attention has gone there but I'm ready to dive in the game. 

I am a graduate student in my late 20s who lives in the Chapel Hill-Durham leg of the Research Triangle in North Carolina.

Also other things have always factored in such as the location of the property, the desirability of the neighborhood or town, the proximity to shopping, schools, or other attractions.

It's in cheaper part of town with a great school district.
