It wouldn't hurt if you wanted to do that now as they could provide good information as you move forward and make decisions.Benefits: building a relationship, shopping firms to get the best fit, knowledge regarding big financial decision before they occur, knowing if  you're making any major mistakes, determining if your plans will actually help you tax wise SummaryIt might be too early but only something good can come out of a meeting with a knowledgable tax professional earlier rather than later.

And don’t mistake on purpose actions for meanness or lack of sympathy   My job after all of the diatribe and crap is to produce the highest level of profitability possible   It’s not to make friends

The loan officer must have made a pricing mistake somewhere in the process.

Submit all of your info etc and see how much you qualify for.This will change in the future as you start to do other deals, but this is the best way starting out and doing a house hack etc.As for college, I went to college and it was one of the biggest financial mistakes I have ever made.
