A new job, an ending lease and how underwriters read your income

New job, and a lease that's ending? Good news: underwriters care about income continuity, not how long your new desk has been yours.

A move in the same field at equal or better pay reads as a continuation. An offer letter plus your first pay stubs usually does the heavy lifting.

Timing tricky? Apply while current income is still verifiable, or bridge with a short lease extension until the first stubs land. Sequence solves most of it.

Going self-employed is the harder switch — that's where a co-applicant, a down payment, or the equity in your car carries the file.
