There is a loan program through Countrywide (or through a broker who can go through Countrywide, which is what I recommend since Countrywide's retail has pretty high interest rates) that can make exceptions to less than 2 years of self-employment - called "Fast & Easy". It requires 680+ scores and 5% down (10% down in a declining market)
