Applying for a loan with less than 2 years employment history

I need help, my lender won’t give me a loan because I am not working currently. I have sufficient funds for a down payment of $50k funds for living expenses at $27k with $20k invested plus social security income of $2k. They require 2 years of employment history and I don’t have that at the moment. What are my options? Can Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae lenders help out? by dprice208 from Aliso Viejo, California.

There is no requirement for employment if you are collecting Social Security retirement income. However, in order to qualify, generally your debt-to-income ratio (DTI) cannot exceed 45%, meaning that with a monthly income of $2,000, your monthly payments on all debt obligations cannot exceed $900.00 this would include the loan's Principal & Interest, the monthly equivalent of Property taxes and Hazard insurance, AND the minimum monthly payments on installment loans and revolving credit. There may be options for you depending on other circumstances.
