Co-Signing a House Hack

Hey everyone, I want to start my real estate investing journey by purchasing a primary residence that I will house hack. Within the next 6 months I will have saved enough for purchase price closing costs rehab budget etc, as well as the credit score to secure a FHA loan. But, I don't have 6 months of income from a W2 since I am currently working as a 10-99 for another investor (which I just started a few weeks ago). Plus I will be going to school full time this fall. So, that's what lead to me thinking about co-signing with either my sister or the investor I have been building a relationship with. What do you guys think? Can there be a better strategy to obtain my house hack within this year? Thanks in advance.
