Ah, that's different. As long as you have pay stubs, you should be fine. Unless, of course, they actually say "Temp" on them. My husband had a 1 yr appointment that did this, and the bank wouldn't count his income on the mortgage application.
Well, what I did after paying off my mortgage was take out a home equity loan on my residence as a down payment on a rental duplex. We paid off the HEL within a few years and have been cash flow positive ever since. I don't regret it, mainly because it forced savings even in some lean years since then, but I see now that stock investing may have been a better approach.
Are you interested in real estate and are you in a good rental market? If so, you can do really well with this approach.
