Getting Financing As A Student

Jacob Willett

Posted

I am currently a student in college preparing for my first deal. I am enrolled in a cooperative education program so my employment is based on the college's coop schedule which means I am not employed at the same place for more than a semester at a time. During the semesters I have classes I am self employed.

I am concerned that my unconventional employment situation will present a problem when trying to get financing for my first property.

Has anyone with a similarly in-consistent employment schedule been able to get financing? If so, what can I do to smooth the process?
