Pay reduction due to COVID and my first duplex under contract-UGH

[Scott Raynor]

After years of dreaming I've finally got up the nerve to pull the trigger in the real estate investment game.  I've my first duplex under contract and I'm psyched!

Unfortunately, I was just notified by my employer I'm taking a temporary (5 month) 20% pay reduction because of the impact COVID has has on my industry. I've already got the financing in place with a FHA loan. Do I notify my lender or just roll with it and hope they don't ask to verify my salary just before closing?
