How do i scale without this barrier...

[James Robert]

Hey guys 

I am a realtor for about a year now, I got my first house 8 months ago which I am slowly rehabbing. I saw a condo i wanted, tried to get approved and I cant until i hit the 2 year mark and my income is not enough to make underwriters pass me for one year even if i wanted to put 20% down. Am I going about this all wrong? I want to heavily invest in real estate, however my income varies. Should I put buying properties on the back burner until I find a way to start making more traditional income? I feel as though I am fighting an uphill battle here without making good money at my job... I do good but doesn't seem to be enough for what I want to do in real estate.

Advice?..

Thanks
