There's just way too much info missing to properly answer your question... are you a first time home buyer? How's your credit? Where you in college prior to your 1 year work history? Are you looking to buy in a new home subdivision or are you looking to build a custom home? What kind of a down payment do you have? In general, probably not.. if you're going to a new home builder in a new home subdivision, then probably, but if you're trying to apply for a construction loan to build your own home, then probably not.. Since constriction loans are much more risky than the purchase of a home already constructed, you must have very good work history, income, and low ratios to qualify.. plus you need reserves, and more than likely you will need a substantial down payment...

Yes you can finance a new home construction with one year work history provided you have a high FICO and no derogatory in the past 24 months.
I was on unemployment for 90 weeks before i started my new businees. Before i went on unemployment i worked for my father in the same field for 12 years. My fiance works in sales for a wine an spirits dustributor. She was on unemployment for 6 months prior to her job now. Before she went on unemployment she was working in sales. We are looking to build a house in a subdivision with builder. My credit score is around 690 but should go up being that i had recently paid 2 negative articles on my report an my fiances is around 640 she also paid off the negative accounts on her report. We have around 5% to put down on the $280k home we are trying to buy. We both own homes now which i will be selling mine an have to rent hers for a year due to the fha tax credit of $8000. Both have never been late on a mortgage payment

I would need more info to answer your question. Are you self-employed? Why were you off work the last two years?

Unfortunately have to agree with the detailed answers from others. You probably will need to wait at least one more year so that you have 2 years history with the new business reported on your tax returns. Your fiance's base income can be counted but that is not likely to allow you to qualify for the new mortgage payment plus payment on her home - even after yours is sold. Hunker down and wait the year, keep saving money and both of you watch your credit.
