If the job is more or less permanent part time and you can still debt ratio then yes you can qualify. Banks like to see no more than 43% of your gross monthly income go to pay mortgages, credit cards, student loans and car payments. The other 57% is what you live on. Food, clothes, utilities, taxes, etc.

You meet all of the criteria where you can get a home, Stable job, Good credit. You can choose to put 20% down or you may put down less. There are programs that you can have a higher housing payment than conventional loans. It's just what is the maximum loan amount you can qualify for based on your part time income. Feel free to contact our office and I'd be happy to assist you and discuss the specifics of your situation.

This shouldn't be a problem.. if you have had the same part time job for 4 1/2 years, then that's considered a permanent position and would be considered as income for qualifying purposes.. So long as you meet all other eligibility requirements, you should be ok. I'm a preferred Lender with California and Arizona being my primary markets. If you or someone you know is looking for financing options, feel free to contact me or pass along my information. 480-287-5714 WilliamAcres.com NMLS# 226347 / RPM Mortgage NMLS 1541014 / AZMB0121893
