Acquiring financing working a commission job
I have 2 single family homes and am looking to get a third or possibly a duplex, but am having trouble finding financing. I have a 750+ credit score and have never missed a payment on either mortgage, but my income is all commission. The banks I spoke with wanted me to work there 2 years before they'd consider lending to me and they said it would still be difficult. Any suggestions for working around this?
