I was in a very similar position when I bought my first home and we qualified just fine. (My fiance had been working for a year and I had just finished a 6 month short term contract that they promised to renew.) A lot will depend on your FICO score. Any mortgage person will be able to tell you if you're pre-qualified or not . . . BTW, the 20% down is huge. It is kind of weird that for my second house they were very interested in whether or not I had tenure, but maybe that's because I was VERY pregnant and taking a leave . . .
