Good for you @Blake Bittner! If you don't have a credit history or a full-time job, you'll likely need a co-signer on your first loan. I'd get W2 income ASAP - so go get a job if you don't have one alreaedy where you receive a W2. That will help with the history. Also, ask your parents to put you as an authorized user on their credit card (so you can build history - assuming your parents have good credit). Once you have a credit history, and even if you don't, find a realtor, and the rest of your team (Property Manager, Contractor, etc.). Good luck!
