I am a self employed residential general contractor.

Alternatively, once you have a full time job (or an employment contract), you should be able to qualify for a loan and utilize a Down Payment Assistance program.

If there are people there will be a need for MTR-- getting your location, unit size and pricing to align is the magic sauce.

You can close in an LLC and don't need to provide employment history, income or tax returns, and DTI isn't a factor.

Need letter from employer that either says they allow remote work or the hire is for Texas location. 

These platforms are affordable and offer comprehensive reports (credit, background, eviction history) without you having to handle sensitive information directly.Verify Employment and Landlord History: Your plan to request pay stubs and a landlord reference is solid.

My husband and his partners sold their company, and he is transitioning out of full time employment there in the next couple of months.  

Having watched many prior co-workers get paid, cash their check at the casino, and promptly deposit it all into a slot machine I can tell you with pretty good certainty that casinos don't have a positive effect on disposable income and good use of the existing income in the area surrounding :)Are there solid local employers OTHER than the casino in a 15-minute drive? 

It seems like this would have to be some preset terms under employment agreements.

Through my studies, I met my current employer, who owns a construction company where I serve as the Sales Director.
