Hi everyone,
Thank you for your time in here!
Let's say I'll start med school in 7/2022, and I need to have a new place in the next few months. What would you guys suggest? I'm currently working very limited hours due to COVID-19, so I use this time just for MCAT studying. As soon as MCAT done in September, I'll try to do full time job (let's say I'll have one after Sep.). I have several concerns not sure who to ask, if you don't mind, please give me your opinions.
1. I don't like leasing an apartment very much, because I would like to use that amount paying toward the mortgage. (In case, I can't mortgage a place, I will share a room from someone, my last option.) Between townhouse/single family house, which one is best for cost (HOA, monthly bills, other extra costs) and easy to sell? The place is mainly just for myself.
2. I have heard that prior to attending med school in July each year, around April, med students will submit financial aid paper work. If I have a mortgage, how will it affect this process on: aid given, loan (interests...), etc...?
- Due to that: should I sell my place prior to April of that year, or just have tenants to lease the place after I leave?
3. Another question outside buying a house: the year before med school starts, if I work 2 full time jobs, meaning my gross income of that year is much higher than other normal years, how will it affect financial aid?
Thank you in advanced!
