I know it is generally frowned upon to buy a house while in medical school, but if one were to humor the idea where would I need to start?
I know all of the pros and cons of owning our own place but I am really just having trouble finding out if it is even feasible to become qualified for a mortgage while in medical school. The problem I keep coming across is the need for proof of income which the loan money I would be using would not be considered.
My wife has a stable career with decent income and a small DTI ratio. We both have good credit and our cars will be paid off next year so the only thing we will be paying for is the place to live and the costs associated with living in said place. The only thing I can come up with would be for her to take out the mortgage in her name alone and then I would just pay for it with the loan money, but I am not sure if she can do that sense we are married.
Is there anything that I am not considering that would help us get qualified for a mortgage?
