When to count income

[Kevin Gamboa]

Hello all,

My girlfriend and I plan on acquiring our first bit of real estate some time next year. We plan on getting an fha loan. I have currently worked at my current job for 3 years but my girlfriend just started full time employment this January. I want to include her income to get a higher loan amount. We live in California. Will we struggle to incorporate her income when applying for a loan considering she has worked full time for less than. Year? If so, how long do people typically need to be employed to have a high probability of being considered for these types of loans? Thanks in advance!
