Hi Brandon,I suggest you request a copy of her original application form and ask to update all information (employment, etc.)  

@Donna Arrogante The pros and cons of self employment, more cash in bursts but can't prove real or steady monthly income.

I'm down here in Texas and through exploring the local area I have found a number of nicely priced duplexes near a military base which got me thinking; Is anyone here willing to share their experience owning rentals in a place where there is only one major employer?

I am a real estate agent that license is currently inactive, as this was a requirement of my employer because of the conflict of interest.

Yes, Southwest Riverside is Temecula and Murrieta.I have several properties that have done extremely well.Super strong rental market, great schools  Good employment (Lots of people commute out to San diego or Orange county, but a lot work here as well.)I now manage properties for owners here and they are extremeley happy with type of tenants, turnover, appreciation etc. 

You get to pick your friends and choose your employment.

RE is cyclical, but some markets can also suffer for a variety of reasons e.g. big employer closing, changing commodity prices.

This is a classic bait and switch.

All of it.I have a product that'll go off of just one year of tax returns for self employed folks in good credit scenarios.

Banks prefer to employ licensed brokers to list and sell, and may not list for many months or even years for business reasons.I suggest you keep your money in your pocket until you are convinced you are ready to become an thoroughly informed (and educated) bidder/buyer.
