I plan to buy a house but lender requires 2 years of W2s, what are my options?

I am moving to California this year, leaving my job 8 months ago to start a new company. I am a flipper and got my first project done using a hard money loan. I want to buy a house when I move but a lender requires 2 years of employment history to qualify for a loan with 50% down. The house sells for $300k. My current home has over $250k in equity and I am planning to sell it. Would renting be a good option? by smeier61 from Atlantic Beach, Florida. May 10th 2022 Reply
