You can still qualify, since you have been a nurse for over 12 months, we can average your last 12 months of pay. You will need at least 15% down.
You can also do a DSCR loan, where the rent will be used to qualify.
Is it just some lenders don’t want to take the risk? They are saying Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac will not allow me to take out a loan until 12 months. What are the ways to phrase this to a lender that I am a reliable buyer? Pay stubs, proof of consistent employment, letters of recommendation from recruiter, etc?
Feel free to PM me.

Quote from @Peter Brown:
@Marcos Gonzalez What are the usual terms for a DSCR loan, Marcos? And is the income based solely on projections or past actuals (assuming these are available at all)? Thanks
You will need an appraisal with a rent schedule valuation as well. If your property has been rented for more then 6 months you can use that rent value as well. The minimum DSCR ratio is .08. To get your ratio you take your gross annual income and divide it by your operating expense's or PITIA.

Shoot for the starts on house hacking, a great way to get investment properties. I wouldn't be too made if the tenants cover the mortgage plus my portion. That in itself if a major win.
