If I recently got a promotion at work, will that new income amount be used to qualify, or do I have to have 2 years at that new income?

This is very dependent upon which type of loan you are doing. Do you know if you would be doing a conventional loan or a government loan. Thanks!

If you are a W-2 employee, your new income will count towards your qualification.

The answer is most likely yes, you would qualify using your new income. However, you must have been in the same of line of work for the past 2 years. There are several factors, but you will most likely be able to use that income. I would be happy to discuss it with you. Nick Bebout - American Liberty Mortgage - 303-407-0847

Some lender will need to see a recent paycheck stub in order to use new income. They may hold you to past income, just depending on the lender and the loan type.

If you are hourly or salary, we can use that new income right away. Bonuses and commission may require a two year history.
