Yes, possibly. You can buy a house for cash from savings or investment with no income at all, and then keep it as long as you can make the tax payments and other assessments.

If your lack of income is "probably temporary" (like you're in prison for a short period, or "between jobs", or "in graduate school"), you may still qualify for a loan.

If you cannot afford to pay the interest on a loan to purchase a house, then it is a really bad idea to consider buying a house. You will fail to make the payments and it will be taken away.

The bottom line is that you need to contact a mortgage broker to find out the answer to your question. Whether or not you qualify for a mortage to help you buy a house depends on a lot of factors. The amount of the loan and the interest rate will determine what your monthly paynents will be. The higher the downpayment, the lower your payments will be. If you don't have enough income to make the payment or have a history of not paying your debts, then you are less likely to qualify.
