Want to leave my job but also buy a place - thoughts?

We can qualify you off a new job once you have been there 30 days. (sometimes even with a salary letter and a first paystub. So leaving your job if you have a new one lined up wont necessarily hurt you in getting qualified, it will just postpone how quickly you can close on the home. Feel free to contact me further and i can help you get qualified and answer any other questions you might have. 913-227-4873 Alan Akers LeaderOne Financial.

Switching jobs is usually not a problem so long as your in the same line of work / profession and your pay is the same, IE... commissions, salary, hourly, etc.. the only problem that could hurt you would be if your paid hourly or salary now, but you switch to a commissions job.. then the lender would want to see 2 years commissions to determine your eligible income.. if this is not your scenario, then you should have no problems.. you will have to have 30 days pay stubs, so you'll have to wait till you get paid, but the job change should not be a problem...

J, Typically, switching jobs will not hurt you, especially if it is in a similar field of work. However, you will need to have at least one month of paystubs from the new job before you close on a home loan. I would be glad to discuss it with you further. Please shoot me an email (mpurkey@primeres.com) or give me a call (316-259-5862) when you are ready. Thanks, Mike

Alan is right on the mark. You may have to do a letter of explanation if your income is less in your new job but as long as the debt to income ratios and credit are good you should not have a problem. If you have questions I am here in Topeka. You can reach me at 273-5004 or 806-4127.

As long at the new job is a permanent position and in the same line of work you shouldn't have problems. I've even had customers approved where they have not even received the first pay stub, depends on the overall details. Some lenders have more stringent requirements than others so if one says it is a problem check with others.

You should apply first, and get pre approved. The Letter of Explanation is necessary to accompany your loan packet when it's ready to be submitted to underwriting.. your lender will help you write the letter.

No the letter(s) of explanation would be required if the underwriter requests it. I was just trying to let you know there may be a couple things you might have to do to satisfy the underwriter during the process. But you should be fine qualifying. Not sure when you are planning on switching jobs but it would make sense when you are ready to start looking for a home you get pre-qualified and find out the price range of home you can afford.
