Since Labor Day is all about work, here’s something that comes up more than people realize when a new job also means a move.
A lot of people assume if they are relocating for a new position they have to move first, rent for awhile, get settled and THEN think about buying.
But depending on the type of job, when you start, how you’re paid and the loan program… that may not always be the case.
In some situations your new income may actually be able to be used to qualify before you’ve even received that first paycheck.
Which can make a pretty big difference if you already know the area you want to be in and don’t really love the idea of moving twice.
Of course this is very situation specific and there are rules around how future income can be used.
But if a new job or transfer is taking you somewhere new, it may be worth asking the question before automatically signing a lease.
And if you want someone to look at your situation and tell you what may or may not be possible, I’m happy to talk it through with you… no pressure and no commitment.
Have a safe and happy Labor Day!!
