HELP! Switching jobs after closing on a new house.

[Jason Wright]

Hello Bigger Pockets,

Here are the details -

I have been presented with a new job opportunity. The new job is in the same field/category as the job I am currently working in. The salary is exactly the same as the job I am currently working in, but the job itself is a way better opportunity that will provide much more room for growth. They provide better benefits and better perks. I really want to accept this new job offer, but here is the catch.

I have a tentative closing date on my first home purchase (FHA, owner-occupied home) of Oct. 17th. - The new job wants me to start on November 1st. How does this play into my home purchase? What would happen if I switched jobs after I closed on my house and we have been living in it for a couple weeks? Is there any chance of repercussion from my lender? Would I need to wait until we closed and I moved into the house to give my 2-weeks notice to my current employer?

Sorry for all of the questions, but I am trying to decide if making the job switch is the best decision for me at this current stage of home buying.

Thank you in advance for your advice, this is stressing me out!
