Question regarding financing, W2 from my own Business

Hi guys,

I have a question about financing...

Just considering options... say your wife has a W2 income from her job and you have a W2 income from your own S-Corp(and your business has been around for at least 10 years but with fluctuating W2 income) and then your wife considers taking a break from her W2 income to recover thoroughly from her illness... outside of the W2 income we do have $30k-$40k cashflow from existing rentals.

How hard would it be for you to get conventional financing with this scenario (losing a more consistent W2 income - even though her W2 is lower than yours) to finance our SFHs purchases?

Any insight is appreciated.
