Curious about the house buying experience for freelancers. Just spoke to a bank and they were utterly confused by my mix of W2 and 1099 work. Were you able to qualify for conventional loans? Did you have to do a bank statement? Broker or bank? Thanks.

I’ve been a freelance print production designer for many years, and usually on-site in the before times. Now I work remote, and am finding it uneasy dealing with billing. Before I always billed hourly, which made sense, but it’s becoming an issue now. Some companies don’t have a full days’ work, so it seems wrong to bill full days, and it allows me to juggle projects for different companies, but my billable hours are down. I know I should bill a daily rate, but not sure that will fly. Thoughts?
