New Job? Can You Qualify?

Many clients ask me if they have a new job, can they qualify for a new home?

The clear answer is yes and no....;)

Yes:  If you have a full 2 year work history with minimal gaps.  So, if you were working at your previous employment for lets say 1 year and 10 months and you are at your current employment for 2 months, then that will equal the 2 year employment.  

Let's say you have 5 years on your previous employment @ $15 per hour and only 1 week for your current employment @ $20 per hour....the answer is yes you can use the current income for your employment to qualify.

Other exceptions is if you were attending college of a technical college for 2 years, and now found a job for about 30 days, then you would qualify with your new employment, since you were in school for 2 years.

No:  If you started your employment but do not have a 2 year history with any employer.

These scenarios are for employees and not self-employed borrowers.  That will be discussed on our next blog.  Stay tuned!
