Pre-Approval Questions and Concerns
Hi everyone! I have a question about the pre-approval process and what I should do as far as getting pre-approved for a mortgage. Right now with the job I have, I gross upwards of 65k but I’m getting ready to leave this job to start one where I’ll be close to, if not in, the 6 figure range. As far as getting pre-approved for a loan, should I use my salary from my current job? I’m assuming I’ll be able to afford less house or should I wait until I’m on the new job, work there a few months and use the salary from that one so I’ll be able to afford more house? What do you guys think? I know there are other variables when it comes to pre-approval but I’m only thinking in terms of my salary with this question.
Thanks!
