Interesting she even mentioned her husband was going to move in at all .. you'd be miles away before all the boxes were unpacked.I'd let her know she needs to have him submit a application, you'll run it, if it doesn't meet your criteria then you have give him written reply, to HIM that he doesn't qualify and to HER her roommate didn't qualify for the add on to the lease.

College students prefer to live with roommates and party ;) So your options are limited that way also IMO.

-If you are moving to an area where your BAH will change on the positive side, maybe find a roommate (or several) and rent out a place together and use the excess BAH to help cover expenses.

Good point Amit, if Joanna's question is regarding her condo conversation, then no rent control.Some Units Have Limited Rent Control Coverage Single Family Homes/Condos—You do not have full rent control protection if you live in a single family home (note that a single family home with an illegal in-law unit counts as a 2 unit building) or a condominium and you (and your roommates) moved in on or after January 1, 1996.

Look for a roommate or rental space to generate money for your next deal.

If you are interested in buy and holds in the future, dealing with prospective roommate-tenants is good experience and you get the training wheels of legally being able to be super picky (as an owner occupant). 

I have 3 roommates that are willing to pay me $475/mo in a home that suits their expectations. 

Also, you might consider taking on a roommate for rent, and see if you can increase your rental income while you are young.Keep on! 

Even that I have roommates lined up and my actual income is around 90k per year, consigning on this loan still carries a risk... especially in the u.s.

Can you get a roommate to subsidize your half.
