When to get preapproved

[Alyssa Paros]

I'm starting a new job next week. It's more pay than my current job and still a W-2. My husband and I are looking to buy our first rental property. When is the best time to get preapproved for a mortgage?

I'd def reach out to the banker(s) because depending on the new job you might have to wait x amount of time. Usually this isn't a big issue if it's in the same career field and you have a documented work history...
