Will the change from employment to independent contractor affect our mortgage application?
My wife and I want to buy our first home this summer but he just got an offer for a new job with higher income. He’s going from a W2 to an independent contractor. If he accepts, would it affect our loan application? Is there a way around the 2 year employment requirement or are we stuck with renting for the meantime? by jonathan733 from Brentwood, California.

SOMETIMES.. we can work around 2 years self employment. But in those scenarios, you still need 1 year taxes. So you cannot "accept" the position, and still qualify. you will not able able to use that income right away.
