First, have you actually spoken with a lender?

What sort of job do you have now?  There are all sorts of "w2 incomes."  Is it a true salaried job?  If so, you don't need 2 years.  For example, some position (I guess picture "white collar" although not necessarily) where you are guaranteed 40hrs a week all year with a fixed salary.

On the other hand, for example, an electrician can have a "w2 income," but they are paid a wage so only hourly for those hours worked, which are not guaranteed.


 I’ve spoken with a couple who needed two year’s verification. And my job is salary for the year at a set income each pay period, no hourly.

Quote from @Caroline Gerardo:

So W-2's for 2021 2022 2023 are similar total year income?

Or are you depositing everything into one bank account?

You have the cash investment needed to close in an account?


 They’re similar but low amounts, as I was working part time, and living with family with no rent. And yes, I am currently into one checking account. And yes I do, I’ve been saving a lot.

So I’ve done a little research and I have seen that in order to purchase a home and receive lending options, you must have 2 years of income verification or show that you were in school for the past two years. Is there any other options? My current situation is that I have been working at my current job making great money for the past 3 months and plan on making this a career, however it isn’t in my degree field( graduated in 2021) nor have I worked in this field the past two years. I have worked other jobs, such as retail, factories, and other unrelated gigs. I’m trying to purchase my first home and possibly rent or house hack but I am having issues with the income part. Credit is excellent(low 800s), income is good(85k a year), and debt is very low.
