mortgage first FAQ
Am I supposed to sort out the mortgage first then start looking for the property or the other way around?
Jun 18, 2008 by hootansa | Posted in Renting & Real Estate
I'm looking for a mortgage (UK). I don't know if I should first sort out the mortgage or should I firstly find the property?
Not sure about it in the UK but I got preapproved 1st and worked some numbers to know what I would be comfortable paying for a house in the US inclusive of taxes and insurance. What you can get approved for is often MORE than you want/need to spend to

Go to a lender to see what you are qualified for, then look for a property.

For a first mortgage, which is more important; length of employment with current employer or income earned?
May 19, 2009 by Vincent M | Posted in Renting & Real Estate
My wife and I plan on buying a house within a year but I am getting job offers that pay me a higher salary. Overall, how important is length of employment in the obtaining a first mortgage?
Not very much as long as you stay in the same line of work and they employer will state it is likely to continue. The salary to pay the note is very important
