Teacher W2/12= monthly income.&nbsp;As far as the lifeguard gig...&nbsp; if it is not permanent (ie, every summer and has been in the past) most will not use it (other than a positive compensating factor) especially with week, but mending credit scores.&nbsp; Raising it from upper 5's to low 6's is a good sign, but do not rest there.&nbsp; 5's are basically a code for REPO..&nbsp; The average score is near 680 and the median (1/2 of America.. at least last year) has 720 or greater.&nbsp; Keep working and it will come.&nbsp; Miami will be depressed in RE for years if not a decade, so get your house in order and there will be plenty of houses to choose from for years to come.&nbsp;Patience&nbsp; Patience.&nbsp; Good luck and I wish you well.
