Is there a way to buy being a new 1099 employee?

I’ve had my heart set on buying in 2024 for years now, my lease is up in April so my husband and I spoke with the bank about pre approval today. We got flat out denied. For background, he’s a veteran and came home from deployment in April, he’s been waiting for his electrical apprenticeship to put him on a job site so he doesn’t have much income to prove for the last 6 months. I just switched from a W2 to 1099 employer in August, I didn’t realize this would void my proof of income entirely until I’ve been 1099 for two years. Either way the pay increase was too good for me not to take the opportunity. We were planning to use his VA loan combined with my income history to get approved, we both have good credit, but had the sad dose of reality hit today that it’s no longer possible. Is there anyway around this? I know things don’t always go according to plan but Ive worked so hard to get financially stable, support us, and was really hoping to be in a house and getting ready to start a family before I turn 31, I’m pretty heartbroken over it.

North Carolina – “One to Buy; Two to Sell”

I realize I will likely have to contact a real estate attorney but also hoping to hear insights and experiences from others! I have a house in NC that I bought by myself in 2009, and paid off, in full, in 2022. I got married in 2023. My spouse and I have not lived in the house as our "marital residence". We have maintained separate residences even after we got married. (That a separate topic!). I am now selling this house. Realtors have told us that my husband has to sign the deed at time of transfer but I am not convinced since the house has not been our marital residence. The realtors like to use the phrase "one to buy; two to sell", which seems like a broad-stroke statement which is not applicable under all circumstances. And of course, the realtors don’t realize the details of my specific circumstances: I purchased and paid for the house in full prior to marriage Only my name is on the deed And most importantly, we have never lived in the house as a marit...

Making offers on houses not listed for sale.

I want to buy a home for retirement. I am looking at lots of options, mostly focusing on the locations that appeal to me. I see lots of Zillow estimates of homes that look like great deals to me. Are these estimates accurate, even though similar houses in the same area that are for sale are usually priced much higher? If so, is it realistic for me to try to make offers to owners that do not have their homes listed? Would a realtor even consider helping me do this? Or, do these values indicate that the houses listed for sale are overpriced, and I should just lowball until someone accepts? Are houses today tending to sell far below list prices, or ??? submitted by /u/chewybrian [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1o4mcon/making_offers_on_houses_not_listed_for_sale/
