First time home purchase self employed optometrist

[Samuel Johansen]

I am a self employed optometrist with my own practice which started 6 months ago. I am trying to purchase my first home and I have run into difficulty getting a loan. Everyone I have spoken too has told me that I need to have two years of tax returns for the business in order to be considered for a loan. I have asked banks about physician loans, but because I am self employed they have all told me that I those don't apply to my situation. Is any one aware of any options for me to look into for my situation? Would a real estate broker have more options for me? If so, can anyone recommend a real estate broker for the Greenwood, South Carolina area? Any other suggestions? Thank you so much for your help!
