We just faxed over our documents to the bank yesterday for our pre-approval but the wait is killing me. I was wondering how strict lenders are about having a 2 year history on commission income. I work as a massage therapist (if you couldn't tell by my screen name) and the only pay I receive is commission (a %age of the services rendered) and tips (most are shown on my pay stubs). Since I just graduated from massage school in September, I only have 5 months on this current job. Before that I was in school and a stay-at-home mom. My 2007 w2's show a very small income since I only worked part of the year before I left on maternity leave.
So is it safe to assume we don't stand a chance getting approved? My husband certainly doesn't make enough to get us approved. What about FHA loans? Are they a bit more flexible?
TIA!
