What everyone else said I agree with for the most part, in that you should keep your expenses low and look to househack.I do however believe that since you will be making good income out of grad school and want to buy right away, as long as your debt to income ratio is okay and you have proof that you were recently in school, there should be no reason why you wouldn’t get approved. 2 years employment requirement doesn’t apply to recent students and more so to protect banks from the independent contractor worker type that can have extreme swings in income that can be more risky for the bank to loan on.
