Can I get a home loan with a 6 month gap in my employment?

Hi There how long is the gap in your employment?

Is there someone who would be willing to Co-Sign for you?

Much more info needed, but in general, there are options if you have had a gap in employment.. lenders will need an explanation.. For example.. if you were pregnant and took 6 months off for maternity, and then returned to the same line of work, then it's not a problem.. there are other examples which wouldn't be a problem, but again, more info needed to answer your question. The best advice I can give you is to contact a LOCAL mortgage broker and apply with them. Once they see your complete loan profile, they will be better equipped to advise you properly. Also, by applying with your LOCAL Broker, you have an advantage because he's familiar with local customs and works with many lenders with each one offering a different type of lending program. This is unlike the local bank which typically only has a few lending programs. The more lenders, the more lending options, and the more likely your scenario will be accepted.. Plus, the broker is experienced in seeking out the best loan terms for your particular scenario, and he has lower overhead which typically results in lower rates and fees than most of the larger lenders.. I'm the preferred Broker here in Scottsdale AZ and Arizona and California is my primary market.

As others have said, it depends on the details - especially why you were not working for those 6 months. Manufactured homes can add a layer of risk to the loan making it more difficult to get the approval, compensating factors can make a difference (like amount of downpayment, or if you have a lot of reserves). You could also try a small local community bank or credit union where they sometimes have options other lenders and brokers do not.
