Insight on Purchasing with Inconsistent Income

Good Day My Fellow R.E. Investors,

I have been on the hunt for about 3 years getting things in order for a property to invest in.. I finally got my ideas narrowed down (multi-family), credit in great standings, financing approval and long term job history...   Find a property, make offer...   GREAT!!!  Then  out of the blue.... I get canned!!!!  

So now I have a dilemma...  I am back to work but my income is inconsistent, not in work but as in income..  The work is consistent because I am a nurse but I work through different companies all over the country..  I do have some money to work with but not a significant amount. My credit remains stable and I have moved in with family so I can travel freely for work and reduce housing cost.  (This is not going to last...LoL)

I would prefer not to go back to a permanent employer if at all possible, although it would look better for financing.  Any ideas or suggestions to assist me in my R.E. Investing goal?  How to get around my financing issues?
