How long must you be employed at a job before you can be approved for a mortgage loan?

If he's in the same line of work and no more than a 90 day gap in employment he should be ok.. even if the work isn't the same type of work, he still might be ok since he is salary... the only way to know for sure is to apply so the best advice I can give you is to contact a LOCAL mortgage broker, not the local "Big" bank, and certainly not one of those 50 states internet lenders...By applying with your LOCAL Broker, you have an advantage because he's familiar with local customs and works with numerous lenders, seeking out the best loan terms for your particular scenario. Because he has lower overhead, he can offer you lower rates and lower fees than most of the larger lenders.. I'm a Broker here in Scottsdale AZ and I only lend in Arizona. If you or someone you know is looking for financing options, feel free to contact me or pass along my information. 480-287-5714 WilliamAcres.com

Is it the same line of work? If so you can get approved.

typically 2 years is the asking price for employment within the same industry and no long gaps. If his new position is a promotion or at least a lateral move in the same line of work, then you should have no problem. But keep in mind other factors when obtaining a mortgage. Debt to Income ratio, FICO scores, Loan Amount, Taxes and Insurance, down payment and with that loan program and guidlelines within those programs. Once you are ready or just about ready to make a purchase. Ask us any questions that may arise. While we all have differences in opinions, you will atleast get a real insight on what to expect with your new loan.

Speak with a mortgage broker that covers TN. I doubt you will have a problem.
