I am a pharmacist with a credit score of 750. We are moving from Colorado to Oregon . We rent here and will be purchasing a home in Oregon.
We have been working with a lender in Oregon who assured me we can use the income at my current job to puchase a home in Oregon since I'm just starting my job hunt there and won't have an official offer for a few weeks. What he didn't explain is that we need to use the house we rent here in Colorado even though our lease is up in December, as a secondary property. So I go from qualifying for $375000 to only $200000 which would put us into absolutely horrible houses. We don't want to go through the hassle of temporary housing to bridge the timeframe gap. I have an 8 year old daughter who I want to keep in the same school once we move to Portland.
This news is incredibly upsetting to us and it doesn't make sense. I could understand it if we owned a house in Colorado but we rent and obviously that payment will be gone after December.
We are looking at getting a second opinion with another lender. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
It makes sense because you don't have a job there.
You shouldn't qualify for any mortgage without a job or source of income I don't really even understand OP situation do they mean that their rental charge will lower the mortgage they are eligible for
I am not sure if I am supposed to list names of companies on here so I will refrain. But I reside in Salem and can recommend a fantastic loan originator! I work overseas and my income is listed in such a way as to cause all kinds of headaches for the underwriters. They were able to work through it and get a great interest rate. Send me a private message and I will tell you who I used and you can research them and decide if they would work for you.

I am a pharmacist so of course I'll find a job there-not a concern. The concern is it takes 30-45 days to close and we are trying to avoid temp housing and extra moving fees.

The rental charge hurts my mortgage amount I qualify for since we are using my income from my current job. It's ridiculous because our lease is up in January and then that payment would be gone.

Get established in Oregon first. Rent when you get there and then start looking for a house later. Buying before you know the area is an easy way to make a mistake.

I'm in Lake Oswego. The market here is slightly insane - I'm sure you've recognized that.
Regarding the part in bold above, it sounds like they are qualifying you based upon the assertion that you are not leaving your existing job, and the purchase in OR is being deemed a Second Home?*** That might get dicey if the Verification of Employment comes back saying, "yeah, he just put in his notice to quit" or something.
If/when you get an offer letter, you can be pre-approved based upon the new base salary, and then close upon receipt of paystubs covering the first 30 days of employment for a Conventional mortgage. FHA is just the first paycheck.
It might be next to impossible to find a situation wherein you rent the home you plan to buy. I do a lot of corporate relocation, and this is the goal of many Transferees. And it never pans out. Sorry the lender was not more thorough and clear with you.
