Refinancing while unemployed

[Tim Coppola]

Greetings everybody,

I had started my refinancing of a 3 flat that I own about 2 weeks ago. Unfortunately I work in the restaurant industry in Chicago which means, as of today, I have been placed on furlough by my restaurant. We are still receiving health insurance but not getting paid. I've been told I can apply for unemployment while on furlough so my question is, will this directly affect the refinance process? I don't want to disrupt that process but I am not expecting this to end any time soon and at some point am going to need some sort of income.

Thanks in advance for any help,

Tim
