A lot of buyers are quietly doing more than one thing to make life work.
A main job.
A second job.
A side hustle that fills the gap.
And the big question always comes up:
Can both incomes actually count?
Short answer: yes.
But only when it’s consistent and sustainable.
Your primary job will always carry the most weight.
A second income can count if it shows a steady pattern over time, typically two years, and doesn’t look temporary or forced.
If you’re not there yet, it doesn’t mean stop dreaming.
It means shift the focus. Credit strength. Savings. A smarter timeline.
Buying isn’t about pushing harder.
It’s about lining things up the right way.
