@William Simon, lenders offer mortgages to people who can prove continuing income, whether that is from employment, self employment, business ownership, investments or retirement funds.I think what you may be indicating is that you do not report your income on your tax filings. 

Thank you Simon and Rubelyn...

Definitely set out some short and longer term goals for yourself like @Simon Cox mentioned.

I am a former football player at Auburn University and Fort Lewis College.

@Simon Ashbaugh That would be awesome if you could pm his contact info!

Hello all, Simon here.

Thanks Simon

Btw: even though I should have the initial cash purchase covered, if someone can offer me a better deal for a loan, I would not say no :-)Thanks Simon

@Robin Simon with Easy Street
