I am starting a new job on Monday and will be shopping for a mortgage very soon. How much does starting at a new job hurt my applying for a mortgage? I am staying in the same industry, just switching companies.

Is there a certain amount of time I should wait? Does it even matter? I have excellent credit.

Normally you want to be at the same place for 2 years. They hassled me when i applied for my loan alittle bit cause it was only a year and a half. Regardless though, you will need atleast 2 months worth of pay stubs at your current job for your loan app, so you'll need to wait that long atleast.

I think you should be fine. I went through this because I got laid off when they poured our foundation. They gave me a hassel because kept the same title but at a different company, but went from full time to temp to hire, just to keep the job. I got hired the last day possible so we could get the mortgage approved. They said if it was a permanent position with the same title it wouldn't have been a problem.

It all depends upon the details of your employment and which lender is closing your loan.

If your income is paid hourly or you are paid salary and the income is fairly consitent with the prior employer, then you should be ok.

If income has increased substantially and you need the new income levels to qualify you will likely run into issues. You could also meet resistance if you need to rely on bonus or commission income from the new employer to qualify.

Some lenders and loan programs are more tolerant in these areas than others.

As for time-frame, you will likely need to be on the new job long enough to have 1 new pay stub prior to closing your loan.

While I don't endorse one over another, because I've not been a customer of both to make a comparison; I did use Easy Mortgage (Zeusrotty) and was pleased. Exactly what I asked for, when I asked for it, and even went out of his way on multiple occasions during the brief process to match and accommodate my schedule. Thanks. :cheers

i dont want to go back through it again, but i wasnt fishing for biz... He had already called me about the loan a week before... My actual advice to him was to ask his broker... Thats who should be answering the questions... Not a bunch of people that have a very basic knowledge, if at all... I was making a point that the people had some right answers and mostly wrong answers... The dude is buying his first house. He needs to be talking to the people that he is working with. And I did noy derail anything...

Your book doesnt matter...
