Travel Nursing Mortgage

Dave Green
Posted

Hey there, I know there's already a thread about this, but I read through it and still don't feel like I have a great answer. My question is the same. I am a travel nurse, and I've had trouble getting a mortgage for 2 reasons. #1, my income looks much lower than it is on paper because a large portion of my pay comes from a travel stipend (tax free money for being a travel nurse) and can't be considered by the lender, and #2, my contracts change every 13 weeks, so it appears on paper that I'm unable to show consistent employment, even though I've never had a gap in employment. Does anyone have any suggestions for this? My credit score is 800 and my finances are great, in reality, it's just difficult for me to prove any of that on paper to any potential lenders and I'm on my third try. Located in southeast Michigan.
