How to (?) purchase property as a contract worker?
This question is for a friend who is attempting to buy her first piece of property & get started on her Real Estate path. She is currently working as a travel nurse with a staffing agency. It's a W-2 job and she's been on the same contract for a year now, but a problem she faces with most banks is income verification. She is only taxed around $13 hr/ but she also gets an hourly rate untaxed + a weekly stipend for being a traveler.
What steps can she take to get a YES from Mr.Bank to purchase her first piece of property? Credit is in the mid 700s & a 10% down payment wouldn't be an issue.
