Professional Poker and Home Loans

Is it possible to obtain a home loan when your only income comes from professional poker? I am thinking about becoming a professional player and am trying to explore all the angles.


Thanks, Poohbear

Yes it is.


Let's say you do well as a poker player. After a few years you should have tax returns that show a legitimate and consistent income.


Furthermore, how much are you willing to put down? A friend of mine just bought a house and he put down something like 75 percent. When you do that, the bank will lend the rest to just about anyone.
