i lost my job last year but ready for a mortgage

i was apart of a mass layoff, unfortunately, which i can easily show to lenders if necessary, so it had nothing to do with my work performance. now ive been working again for 7 months and confident i'm with my new company to stay. has it been enough time for me to qualify for a mortgage? ive looked mostly into fha because i have 4% down which is i gues in between? by corrine_k7823228 from Emington, Illinois.

Typically, if you have a job gap greater than 90 days, the lender will require a letter of explanation, but it wont necessarily disqualify you for a mortgage.. so long as you have been able to show that you were consistent in paying your bills on time even though you were unemployed for a while, you should be ok..

You shouldn't have a problem if the rest of your application is reasonably strong. 4% to work with does likely put you in a FHA loan.
