Then there are those who want to return when they find the right job and are now actively looking to buy so they’ll have a home to come back to. Most lo...2021-09-191h 03

Nonetheless, there are options for buying a home during this period. Thanks to the (often) promising prospects for the future, several providers have special policies for PhD candidates. Depending on your situation, there are often more options than you might have thought.
