Will Changing Jobs Disqualify Me for an FHA Loan?

[Joanna Brumley]

I am currently a newbie closing in on making my first investment purchase. I'm looking at purchasing a triplex or fourplex using an FHA loan. However, I am considering switching to a new job in a completely different field and job role. Initially my pay will be about the same as what I'm making now (perhaps a tad less initially but will earn me significantly more a couple of years down the road.) Will switching jobs to a totally new field/different career totally disqualify me from getting an FHA loan? Or am I still qualified as long as I have a steady employment history? Thank you for any knowledge anyone can share!
