New To Miami - Looking for Mortgage info

[David Farron]

Hi all!

As stated in the title, I am new to to this game and looking for advice. I left my position at a company back in New York to come to Miami and get my real estate license and pursue a career in real estate.

I have a very good history of employment for the last 5 years at 3 highly regarded companies. I am now looking to buy an apartment and would like to know my options and best practices for acquiring a mortgage, now that I am not earning a salary. Would I need to work for a company again to obtain a good mortgage? Would it have to be in the sane industry? Is it no problem that I am unemployed because it has only been for a few weeks?

Please let me know your thoughts! Any advice, connections or reading materials would be greatly appreciated!
