However, I can't live at home forever so now I'm thinking about buying a SFH and renting the rooms out.

@Joel Mora what condition is the home?

Problem solved.Moral of the story, regardless of neighborhoods, empty homes draw attention and there are a lot of people looking for shelter.

I work 2 (soon to be 3 jobs), live at home, attend college, have 20 grand saved up on top of stocks and an IRA.

Cameron,If you are looking for a Primary Home loan its easy you can use a DPA program. 

@Renee Jones not sure how much you need but if you have equity in your home or another piece of real estate you could tap that.
