not until you re-establish income to be able to afford the loan payments within the guidelines

It depends on other factors like is there a spouse with income, do you have any other source of income such as rentals, 2nd job, investment, etc... you don't need a job to get financing, you need income... if the job is your only source of income, then you would have to be employed and have received at least 1 paycheck before you loan can fund.. assuming the job is in the same field as before and there has not been more than 90 days gap between jobs...

A pre-qualifed loan application is not the same as a approval. You will need to get a position with the same line of work that you were currently in, and will need to get one month of paystubs, and if you can get a job acceptance letter, that also helps showing your new start date of employment..
